THE STORY.

1T WAS in the days of the Maccabees
when peace had returned to Jeru-
salem and glory to the temple.
Onias was the high prient, and his
hatred of all Wickedness and his loyal
ty to all the law of Moses had wrought
a mighty revolution in the lives of the
Inhabitants Of the city. Righteousness
exalteth nation, and as a result Cf
the reforms which Onias had brought
about blessing came to Jerusalem and
the temple service. Far and wide the
influence of the holy city was felt, so
that even the kings themselves did
honor the place, and magnify the tenn
pie with their best gifts.
Among such was Seleucus, king of
Asia, who of his own revenues, bare
all the costs belonging to the service
of the sacrifices.
Some time before this, one Simon,
of the tribe of Benjamin, had been
made governor of the temple, and he
seemingly entered enthusiastically
into the work of perfecting the sery-
ice of the temple and bringing about
the reforms in the city But under
meath the outward conformity to the
plans of Onias was secret sympathy
towards those who desired to work
evil. And when finally it came to the
notice of Onias that he was dealing
in subtlety, and had not carried out
with vigor and honesty of purpose
certain edicts against those who
sought gain by wrong doing, the high
priest called his conduct into question
and severely reprimarded him, and
made it known throughout the citv
that no longer could such matters con-
tinue.
At first Simon in the wickedness OF
his heart sought to work evil in the
minds of the people against Onias.
but finding that he was unable to over
come the powerful influence which he
held over the majority of the inhabi-
tants of the city, he fed the city,
breathing out threatenings as he went.
"The glittering treasure of the tenn
pie will prove a pleasing story for
others to hear" he exclaimed, as he
made his way into the province of
Phenice. There he found an eager,
willing listener in the person of the
governor of the palace, even Apol-
lonius, the son of Thraseas.
"The treasury in Jerusalem is full
of infinite sums of money declared
Simon. "Yea, the multitude OF their
riches is far beyond that which the
king now possesses and it is possible
to obtain it all, for the city of Jerusa-
lem is unable to Withstand such forces
as the king may choose to send
against it."

SERMONETTE,

"They then called upon the
Almighty Lord to keep the
things committed of trust safe
and sure for those that had COM
mitted them."
"Having done all, stand" was
PauI's admonition.
No one has a right to call
upon God for help who has not
exhausted every resource at his
command for the accomplish
ment of the task before him.
1t is matter Of works plus
faith.
Faith which Is not undergrad
ed with earnest, faithful work
is of none avail, and works with
no element of faith working like
a IeaVen through and through
falls short of it's greatest posi-
biIities.
In this story from the second
book of the Macabees we find
that the people of Jerusalem
exhausted every resource and
every argument to dissuade the
messenger from the distant king
from Ievying on the rich treas
ure which was held in the tenn
pie at Jerusalem by the high
priest as trust fund for others.
And when man had reached
the limit of his resources, and
faith reached up and laid hold
of the power of God, then it
was that the almighty arm of
the omnipotent God was stretch
ed forth to deliver.
This appearance of a celestial
horseman and warriors to give
battle to those who would do
violence to the sacred temple
and its treasure reminds US Of
the vision which came to the
servant Of Elisha when the
prophet prayed that his eyes
be opened that ne might see
the mighty forces Of God which
vert encamped between them
and the hosts of the enemy.
"And the Lord opened the
eyes of the young man; and he
saw: and behold, the mountain
was full of horses and chariots
of fire round about Elisha"
The PsaImist says, "The angel
of the Lord encampeth round
about them that fear him, and
deIivereth them."
And again in the sixty-eighth
Psalm he declares that the
"chariots of God are twenty
thousand, even thousands of an
gels: the Lord is among them,
as in Sinai, in the holy place."
Revelation gives US many
gIimpses of the innumerahIe
host Of heaven, Gods mighty
army.
"And the number of the army
of the horsemen were two hun
dred thousand thousand: and
heard the number of them. And
thus | saw the horses in the
vision, and them that sat on
them, having breastpIates of fire
and of jacinth, and birthstone:
and the heads of the horses
were as the heads of lions; and
out of their mouths issued fire
and smoke and birthstone" 4
Surely Gods power is not
limited.

crashing into the bricks he received
bad injuries. A passing train fright
ened the horse.
People who saw the accident rushed
to the injured man who lay almost I'M
able to move and took him to q place
of shelter. Medical aid was summons

doctors Office in an automobile where
his wounds we're temporarily attended

The latter were confined largely to

nose was also mashed and his back

o'clock. It will probably be necessary
to keen the patient there for some
time although up to the present his
injuries do not give promise of being
fatal. Complications however may set
in.
The runaway occurred about three
o'clock in the afternoon as Mr.. Dowall
was on his way home after spending
the day in Keokuk shopping. The
horse which he was driving was of
rather a dashing disposition and cas-,
lily frightened when a train came
along. The animal took fright before
the driver was able to check him and
was soon entirely out of control. The
victim is a man about fifty years of
age and the shock rendered him very
weak.
