The fall of an empire is always an
event of absorbing interest. 1t is a
black background, against which the
principles which make for and against
national perpetuity can be well de-
fined
The fall of Israel was the inevitable
conclusion of its course of upright
eousness
All that could be done was done to
save Israel from its fate. No nation
ever had more faithful or fearless re-
formers. Amos and Hosea were last
in the succession; but, like their pred
ecessors, unsuccessful.
Israel had striking object lesson
i'll the career of the southern king
dom. Its religious revival was atten-
ded by material prosperity, and the
good King Hezekiah joined the proph-
cts in the attempt to call the people
back to their allegiance to God.
1t is an historical sarcasm that the
last king of Israel should wear the
name of the earliest of the hero Judg
es, for Hosea and Joshua are one
| and the same. An historical parallel
is also found in Romulus Augustus
last of.Roman emperors, who wore the
double name of the founder of the city
and the founder of the empire
And Hoshea was far from being the
meanest of the nineteen kings of Is
sael. Just as Louis XVI was innocent
rs compared with his predecessors,
yet their evil courses had their inyet-
crate denouement in him.
John Eliot, apostle to the Indians.
whose tercentenary has Just been OBJ
served, believed the American In
dams to be descendants of the lost
tribes.
1t is pure assumption to say that
Israel must needs have fallen a prey
to the wolld-powers without reference
to the moral conditions of the king
dom. Palestine was naturally easy
to defend and hard to conquer. Ma
tional complications were such that
the kingdom might have been perpet-
uated in the way of balance of power.
Switzerland is a modern analogy.
There is a national life as well as an
individual life. Providence deals with
nations as if they were persons.
The Lords plumb line, which Amos
saw in his vision, is still let down from
heaven. Nations must stand true to
it in order to insure their perpetuity.
Righteousness exalts nation.

Lee and longstreet at High Tide"
The people of this country will re-
fuse to be predjudiced against Mrs.
LonSstreet's book on the life of the
"War Horse" of the confederacy, by
the suggestion that it is written in
spirit of friendliness to the north.
Mrs. Longstreet was born in the
American Union, after the Confeder-
ate struggle had become the Lost
Cause of American history. She evil
IDENTIFY has never known what it was
to hate anything American 1t was
high patriotism, worthy of the open
ing days of new century, that
prompted a young woman of the new
south to invite Yalorous Union Off
Ger to write the introduction to the
biography of a dead adversary.
The opening words of General Sick
les introduction to Lee and Long
street at High Tide" happily silence
all criticism:
''If it be thought strange that |
should write a preface 30 the memoir
of conspicuous adversary, 1 reply
that the civil war is only a memory,
it's asperities are forgotten, both ar
mics were American, old armyfriend-
ships have been renewed, and new ar
my friendships have been formed
among the combatants, the truth OF
history is dear to all of US and the
amenities of chjyalrous manhood are
cherished alike by the north and
south, when justice to either is in
volved."
Sickles is one of the most famous of
the surviving Union officers of the
civil war. He has been prominent in
Democratic politics in New York since
the war and has suffered much in
consequence.
The south will not fall out with
Mrs. Longstreet for defending the
great name she bears, now that the
stout warrior is dead and cannot an
swer his accusers; a magnanimous
people will honor her for Tx
