Lesson for June 8
EZEKIEL ENCOURAGES THE
EXILES
LESSON TEXT—Ezek. 34:1-30.
GOLDEN TEXT—“1 will seek that
which W!ls lost, and bring again that
which Was driven away.”—Ezek. 34:10.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Ezekiel Preaching
to the Exiles.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC—The Lord Seeking His Scattered
People.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC—Ezekiel's Mission to the Exiles.
Ezekiel prophesied in the land
captivity. The latter part of Jere
miah's ministry was contemporaneous
with that of Ezekiel. The purpose of
his ministry was:
1. To Keep Before the Minds of the
Captives Thut They Were in Captivity
Because of the Sins of the Nation
(Ezek. 14:23).
2. To Show That God Was Righteous
in His Visitation of Judgment Upon
Them (Ezek. 7:8, 0).
3. To Sustain Their Faith by As
suring Them of Their National Restor
ation, the Punishment of Their Ene
mies and the Final Exalted Place of
Israel Among the Nations When Mes
siah Should Reign (Ezek. 34:20-31).
I. Indictment of the False Shep.
herds (vv. 1-19).
Israel’s ruined condition resulted
from the failure of the rulers to prop
erly care for the people of Israel, God's
sheep. Their sin was that:
1. They Exploited the People In
stead of Shepherding Them (vv. 1-3).
The shepherds were appointed to feed
the flock but instead of that they fed
themselves, even devouring the sheep
and clothing tliemselvi t with the wool
thereof.
2. They Failed to Minister to the
Sick, the Diseased and Wounded (v.
4). It is not enough that the shep
herds refrain from doing evil to the
sheep. They are expected to strengthen
the weak and bind up the wounds of
those that have been injured.
3. They Did Not Search Gut the
Lost Sheep (vv. 5-9). Sheep left to
themselves wander away. The sheep
are not expected to look after them
selves but to be cared for by the shep
herd. In their scattered condition they
became the prey of wild boasts. None
sought after them though they had
wandered through the mountains and
over the hills.
4. The Lord Held the Priests and
Rulers of Israel Responsible for This
Condition (v. 10). The Lord always
holds those responsible who have been
set over his children.
II. Israel to Be Restored (vv. 11-22).
Though the rulers have so wretched
ly failed, the almighty God will come to
the rescue of His people.
1. He Will Search and Seek Them
Out (vv. 11, 12). Though Israel be
scattered throughout the nations, the
divine shepherd will deliver them from
every place where they have been scat
tered.
2. Will Bring Them Into Their Own
Land (v. 13). This was partly ful
filled in the return of the remnant un
der Ezra and Nehemiah, but the real
fulfillment awaits the future.
3. Will Feed Them (vv. 13, 14). lie
will not only satisfy them with food.
He will cause them to He down in per-
feet contentment and security (vv.
14, 15).
4. Shall No More Be n Prey (v. 22).
Though God’s chosen people have been
scattered through the mountains and
over the hills of the nations and have
been a prey to the repacious greed of
the many nations, God will one day
deliver his sheep and will judge the
false shepherds.
III, The Coming Good Shepherd
(vv. 23-31).
The Instrument through which this
great deliverance Is to be wrought Is
the Messiah Himself.
1. lie Will Make a Covenant of
Peace (v. 25). This condition of peace
will he brought about by the presence
of the Lord among them. The work]
and Israel will only know actual peace
when the Prince of Peace shall come
and rule over the whole earth.
2. Evil Beasts Removed (v. 25). The
redemption which awaits Israel and
the world will not only afreet God’s
children and their rulers but will bring
about peace even among the animals,
so that His children can sleep In peace
and quiet even in the woods.
8. Showers of Blessing Come Down
(v. 26).
God’s chosen people shall be a bless
ing to the world, according to His
original purpose for them. When
these blessings are poured out, it shall
be known that they flow from Jesus
Christ, the good Shepherd. The pur
pose of Israel’s choice was that the
world might he blessed through them
(Gen. 12:1-3).
Our Freedom
“It is the way hours of freedom are
spent, that determines, as much as
labor, the moral worth of a
nation."—Maurice Maeterlinck.
Makes Life Interesting
We live partly in the past, partly
in the future. That makes life Inter
esting.

The Juvenile Protective
Association.
Atlanta, Ga., June 5.—Within a
period of one year—since its last an
nual report—the Juvenile Protective
Association, a child welfare organiz
ation, with southern headquarters
here, has aided 18,812 wayward chil
dren, rescuing them from carers of
crime and prison terms and placing
them on the road to better citizenship.
These thousands of children, both
boys and girls, according to the as
sociation report just made public,
were handled through the agencies
which the organization assisted in
establishing, in most cases taking the
initiative, and by probation officers
whose appointment the association
secured.
Rev. Crawford Jackson, general
secretary of the association, the re
port showed, actually made 202 visits
to cities and towns, made many
speeches, organized branches and
personally secured the appointment
of probation officers. He also super
intended the mailing of thousands of
letters, literature and reports in the
interest of the association, besides
raising, largely through his own ef
fort, all the money needed to meet
expenses. The report was made
“that every bill was prompaly paid.”
Sponsoring the big movement to
establish what will be known as the
Junior Republic of the South, the as
sociation has’ asked Mayor Sims of
Atlanta to appoint a committee to
raise $25,000, which is to be Atlanta’s
pro rata share of the $100,000 for
the institution. The fund, outside of
Atlanta’s quota, will be raised in
various states of the South in which
the association work has been carried
on for many years. The site for the
Junior Republic will be on a tract of
103 acres at Ben Hill, in Campbell
county, 14 miles from Atlanta. As
sociation officials stated that a liberal
payment had already been made on
the property, which included cancel
lation of the local mortgages and
payment in advance of some of the
remaining notes due. A warranty
deed to the property will be issued to
the association in the near future, it
i was stated.
