made her do all manner of hard labor
Rufus believed that oppression and ILL
treatment would cause Keturah to hum
BILE herself and to love him, in order that
she might be the mistress Of the house
and mistress Of the woman who at pres
ent ordered her about so haughtily and
ruled her so tyrannically; when-when
Keturah will humble herself before him
he will revenge himself upon her by
abusing and disgracing her. But she
bore all her hard and oppressive labor as
though she would have been a slave, for
she was sustained by the hope that the
days of her suffering and tribulation
would not last long; she expected that
God would soon redeem his nation, and
that she would also be included in the
salvation which God would send through
his messiah Shimeon Bar Cochba, the
man who loved her with an eternal
love.

THE SIEGE OF CHsAREA AND THE HE
ROIC DEATH OF KETJJRAH

ROIC DEATH OF KETURAH.
In those days holy man passed
through the land; he journeyed from
village to village and from city to city;
he was very hairy man, he wore a
leather girdle around his loins, his coun-
tenance was illumined with holy ardor,
and his appearance was imposing. That
man was the prophet Elijah. He prom
disc the remnant of Israel that the mes
siah of Jacobs God would appear in a
very short time; thus fulfilling Gods
promise to Malachi the last of the pro-
shets: Behold [ will send you Elijah
the prophet before the coming Of the
great and dreadful day of the Lord and
he shall turn the heart of the fathers to-
ward the children, and the heart of the
children toward their fathers" The
prophet proclaimed the religion of the
Lord of Hosts with an eloquence mighty
and tremendous. He would move his
hearers like the whirlwind which moves
mountains and splits rocks, like the
voise within the bowels of the earth
when it quakes, like angry burning fire
flames, and he would cheer them with a
voice as sweet and gentle as that of
violin or flute. He comforted the sor
rowful and consoled the broken-hearted
He replied satisfactorily to all the ques-
tions of Israels sages, and decided all
theological and civil disputes with
knowledge and understanding. He also
performed great wonders and miracles
in the presence of the assembled congre-
CATION of Israel, and they all faithfully
believed in him, because he had proven
himself to be holy man, and the word
of God, truth and righteousness were in
his mouth. The Romans had also made
heavier the yoke of the Jews at that
time: they oppressed them with bar
barism even more ferocious than before;
they cruelty plundered and prosecuted
them until death came to be considered
a blessing. The Jews became desperate,
The Jewish advance., 1879-06-06

armed themselves, and they proceeded
as one man to besiege the city Cesarea,
where Rufus resided, and whence all
their misfortunes proceeded. They deter
mined to fight against this fortified city,
to take possession of it, and to crown
Bar Cochba as it's king Even the wo-
men and children were possessed by the
spirit of bravery, and followed the SOL
diers in the battles against their mutual
enemy. Like the stormy waves of the
ocean all the warriors surrounded the
walls of Casarea, with deafening noise
did they encircle it, and the earth under
their feet shook and trembled. Though
they were not trained soldiers like the
Romans, who learned the arts of war
from their youth, they were nevertheless
supported by their brave spirit, by their
mighty hatred towards the Romans, and
by their enthusiasm for the Lord God Of
their forefathers, for their holy religion,
and for the land of their birth. They
stood, therefore, unfinchinly around the
walls of C@sarea, and were ready to risk
their lives in battle with powerful and
trained soldiers whose strength had
gained recognition throughout the
world. Shimeon Bar Cochba rode on his
terrible lion through the camp Of Israel;
his appearance was that of mighty
hero on the day of battle, and his words
were as refreshing and reviving to every
heart and soul as a heavenly dew. With
confidence he threw an arrow into the
city, around which a small scroll was
pasted containing this inscription in
Greek characters: Behold, here is the
nation whom you have held in contempt:
increase your army now and come to
fight against us!' Thousands of young
men from the Jewish army chopped off
their thumbs in the presence of the Ro-
man guaad in order to show the strength
of their hearts and their intense love to-
wards their country. By day and by
night they poured a strong fire into the
fortified city; they surrounded it with
watch towers; they built bitches and
strongly. besieged it. All the missiles
which the Romans threw at them from
the tops of the walls, were blunted be-
fore they reached the Jewish army, and
they were harmless.

THE FALL OF BETHAR.
A HISTORICAL ROMANCE ADAPTED FROM THE
HEBREW.
BY REV. DAVID STERN.
V IL.

In anger and wrath, shame and indig-
nation, did Rufus return to his palace,
and walked silently hither and thither
plunged in profound thought; suddenly
he stopped by window and said angri-
ly: 'The raven has escaped from the net,
but the dove is yet there, and she shall
not escape" He then proceeded to Ke-
turah's chamber, approached her with q
smil;as.assaevnance. ana gently said to
her: Beautiful damsel! listen to me
and it will be we'll with you; yield your
heart to the powerful love which burns
in my breast towards you, and [ will be-
stow upon you all my wealth and pos
sessions for love-" His eyes burned
like flames, and his countenance, which
was always red from wine assumed a
still deeper hue.
"Governor!' replied Keturah, Gov
ernor! [ know not what it is that you de-
sire from me"
"Love!p said Rufus, 1T is lore that |
desire from you, and want you to graf
ify the desires of my heart"
Seek love from the wife of your
youth, the queen Of women; why should
YOU desire love from poor Jewess?'
"You are not poor, my beauty! and
his eyes were glowing with his passion.
you are not poor! for beauty is more
precious than all wealth; and as you
are the fairest among the fair, there is
not as wealthy person as you through
out all the land You are more lovely
than Venus, prettier than Juno, and
more beautiful than Minerva! If you
will but crafty my desires, | will make
YOU queen over all my choice posses
sions and mistress over all my hearts
treasures.
What have I to do with the beauty
of your idols?' replied Keturah L know
only one God, God who helps all those
whose hearts are pure and who act hon
estlv. Therefore, what have to do
with all your luxuries? To me they are
vanity and delusion! God is with me,
what more do [ need?''
"You always give me such foolish
answers" said Rufus, proudly; and
am tired of listening any longer to such
childish talk. I warn you now, that
henceforth you will know that my hand
is powerful and my arm is mighty"
The Jewish advance., 1879-06-06

"The might of your hand and out
stretched arm is like straw in compari-
son with the arm of my God! answered
Keturah. And as God is with me, fol-
whom need I be afraid?"
"Iwish that [ knew wherein the great.
ness of your Gods power consisted?" in
quired Rufus. IF he is strong and
mighty why does he not redeem his cho
sen people, the Jews, from the hands o1
the Romans, who continually curse anc
blaspheme him?"
do you believe that your hands arc
mighty? Do you imagine that you con
quered us through your power? No, no
The Lord our God delivered us into
your hands because we had sinnec
against him; he gave you the ascendency
over us because we would not obey his
commands"
I'm short time exclaimed Rufus
angrily. I'm short time I will prove
to you that the hand of your God is
powerless to help, and that he has not
the might to save you from my hands.
The spisitsof God-entered Keturah
her eyes shone with the lustre of the
heavenly stars; her countenance beamed
like that of an angel, and in sweet out
mighty voice she answered: "Ah, Gov
ernor! you should know that my love to-
wards my God and nation is even more
powerful than death, and for their sake
I will gladly endure death; therefore
why should [ fear your uplifted sword?
The arm Of human being can only de-
stroy the flesh, but over the soul it has
no control"
May be you have given your love to
another" asked Rufus, and therefore it
is that you refuse my otfer?"
Keturah blushed at these words and
replied; Il will not deny that your
words are true, and that also for this
reason I cannot and will not listen to
you. All, Governor! leave me; have you
forgotten the bravery of Israels daught-
ers when the spirit rests upon them?
Remember, I pray you, what Jael the
wife of Heber did to Sisera the general
of Jabin's army, and what Judith did to
Holofernes; remember these things and
trembler'
These last words entered the heart of
Rufus like sharp and poisoned arrows,
and deadly fear came over him, for a
Chaldean had long ago predicted to him
that he would die by the hands Of wo-
mann. Much as he had tried to jest at
this prediction, he always believed in it
and feared it, for he like all the Romans
