by divisions they succumbed to the invader and their
temple was destroyed. Dispersed for time, many
Of them forgetting the traditions Of the past for
saking the religion Of their forefathers, wandered
But after time being reunited they again
sought the places OF Old, and with trowel
another temple on the site of the old far transcend

enemies. The democratic party for years controlled

and weakened by division, they succumbed to their
foes and the temple they had reared shattered.
