It Is known now that an Kngllsb nobleman had Jput them In his hands to read and that he was In no way responsible for their publication. The truth, If It could tyive been told, would have bent the proud heads of Wedderburn and the judges to \fh6m he appealed, In confusion.' But franklin held his pence, as a man of hoiior was bound to do. Ho stood erect and dignified w|th a face like one carved In wood. The counsel for ^he colonies made a weak defense.

Ezeklel's Mission to the Exiles. 1 I Ezek lei prophesied- In the lund of captivity, l'lie lutter part of Jere miah's ministry whs contemporaneous with that of Ezekiel. The purpose of bis ministry was: - . 1. To Keep Before the Minds of the . Captives That 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 Firth ,by As suring Them of Their National Restor- , atlon, the Punishment 6t Their Ene mies and the Final Exalted Place of Israel Among the Nations When Mes siah Should Reign (Ezek. 34:20-81). I. , Indictment 'of the False Shep^ he/da (vv. 1-10). " . . I Israel's ruined condition resulted from the failure of the rulers.' to prop erly care for the people of Isrifel, 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 flocl$ but Instead of that they fed themselves, even devouring the sheep and clothing themselvc'j with the wool thereof, v '? 2. They Failed to Minister to the Sick, the Diseased and Wounded (v. 4). It Is not ehough 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 Old Not , Search Out * tjie Lost Sheep (vv. 5-9). Sheep left to themselves wander away. Tfie 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 beasts. None sought after .them though they "liad wandered, through the mountains and "over the hills. ' ~ 4.. The, Lord Held.the PrlesU Qnd Rulers of Israel Responsible 'for TliU Condition (v. 10).

( 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, li, 12) v Though Israel be scattered throughout tlie nations,- the divine shepherd ill dell vet them, from every- place where they have been scat tered. 2. Will Bring Them Into Their Own Land (r. 13). This was partly ful filled lir the return 6f the. rempant un der Ezra and Nehemlah, but the real fulfillment awaits the future. 3.. Will Feed Them (vv. 13, 14). He will not only satisfy them with food.; He wllli cause them to lie down In per fect " ^ontentm/ijf t and security (vv. 14, 15). ' 4. Shall No More Be a Prey (v. 22). Though God's cnosen people have been scattered through the mountains and over the hills of the nations and have been a prey to the repa clous greed of the many nations, God wlil one day deliver his sheep and will Judge the false shepherds. III. The Coming Good Shephsrd (vv. 23-31). The Instrument through which this great deliverance Is to be wrought Is the Messiah Himself. 1. He Will Make a Covenant of Peace (v. 25). This condition of peace will be brought about by the presence of the Lord among, them. The world artd Israel will oiily'know actual peace when tlie 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 affect God's children nnd 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. 3. Showers of Blessing Come Down (v. 20). God's chosen people shall he a bless ing to the world, according to Ills nrlclnal purpose f"r them. When these blessings are poured out, It. shall be knovn that they Ilow from Jesus! Christ, the ci>*>d Sh?'pheri.
