Editor of The CongregaiionaJist, Provision for a review of the quarter's lessons, has been an eminently -wise arrangement on the part of the international committee which has selected the uniform lessons. It serves to emphasize the connecting link between the lessons of tiie quarter which, are chosen with reference to a definite theme, plan, and purpose, and it provides a fitting place for a. summary of the teachings in their full effect and import. Without such a review the lesson teachings would tend to be fragmentary. The review gives an opportunity ol seeing the studies in perspective and in all their The theme of this last Ir-sons has been the prophetic and leadership in JmrTah, "DeiiocL of "the Exile to Babylon, atid the'restora- tion of Jewish life in its Palestinian homeland.

These lessons have had a definite Historical background in world happenings hi an ancient empire, in the struggle for power between great military leaders and in the change of dvnssties with the fortunes of battle. The Prominence of Cyrus Great names appear in these lessons--names that are of vital significance in the world's general history. And the culminating event associated with the lessons, the return of the exiled Jews to their homeland, has to do with the" emergence to power of Cyrus, who combined with unusual military capacity the breadth and tolerance of- a. great administrator--a combination of qualities not always in erature is interpreted and enforced by wise and competent instruction. Great literature and great- teaching go hand in hand.

The one re-en- lorces the other, and the one helps to create the other. Those who have studied these lessons during tht last quarter ought to carry them the very vivid and dramatic picture of the whole people of the restored colonv. men. women and children, "all who could understand," being gathered together for instruction in the law. In a people thus devoted to the highest ideals as these have been expressed by its law givers, its prophets, and its saintly leaders, there lies the hope of constructive power.

It is an evidence of the moral force of these leaders that they stand tJday as tjeople of greater significanca and importance than the and best known men 01 their own time. This is in itself striking illustration of the ultimate strength of moral and spiritual Paul, aw a later date, reminded us that we must not despise small things, that x-rod has indeed chosen things that are and despised, and "the that are nought to to nc-ogni; the things that are." That fact has had inanv manifestations in history. A noet unknown and disregarded in his -day is accorded an honored place in the lit. erature of his country by future generations.
