The story deals with the troiihles of a xn-osjii-roiis family roducc'd to heggary hy misfortune. The motlier i.s h.-ft a widow and is com^xollcd, witli h(-r cliildrou, lo outer the workhou.se.

has heen described a.s a sloi'n. narrow Puritan, but he must be judged in tho light of his age, and in tho light of Israel’s mission.


Ezra had main-' of the


eharactcristies of Puritanism. Let us note some :—1, He had a stiong sense of the Divine Presence and guidance. 2, He had strong and nnchange.able con­ victions. Beliefs, truths, jirineixilcs, make convicts of us ; that is sxxix'itnal convicts. John P(‘iu'3’', the Puritan, died for his con­ victions. 3, A passion for doing God’s will. Life is a mission, and dnt.3- tliero- foro is the highest law. John Afilton was t3'xiical of man3' of the Purilan.s, and Ezra had the samo s]iirit.


AliUon’s time conceived it to bo their mission to bani.sh all forms of t3T.ami3-. Should not E'zra and men of his 1,3’po be our ideal. A

Our aim just now is to over­ come militari.sm, t3a'.ann3'. eriH4ti3' ; lint our aim in so doing must not be to seenre libert3- for guzzling and go.nibling, and the forming ot unhol3‘ and imixurc alliances and indulgences in selfishness. 4, Splendid and indulgence in .selfishness.
