Is ARK OF COVENANT
STILL IN EXISTENCE
BY M. WEiDENTHAL.

A story comes from Jerusalem that
the Mohammedan Inhabitants have
been aroused to the point OF rioting
because a party of English archeolo-
gists are said to have excavated be-
meath the sacred Mosque of Omar and
removed the ark OF the covenant and
the holy vessels which reposed In the
temple of Jerusalem while Israel was
a nation.
The ark was constructed In the
wilderness after the exodus and final
ly found resting place in Solomon's
temple and the Omar mosque occu
pies the site Of the temple.
The vast majority OF scientists and
antiquarians who made Palestine ex
plorations a study are disposed to
ridicule the story OF this dissertation
They say that after the dispersion OF
Israel the ark and the sacred vessels
were removed to Babylonia. They
base their views on ii Chronicles
chapter XVI, verse 10, which Is as fol
lows:
And when the year was expired
King Nebuchadnezzar sent and
brought him to Babylon, with the
goodly vessels Of the house of the
Lord, and make Zedekiah. his broth
er king over judah and Jerusalem"
They also point to the following
prophesy by Isaiah, In chapter xxx
verse g.:
Behold, the days come that all
that Is In thine house, and that which
thy fathers have laid up in store until
this day, shall be carried to Babylon
nothing shall be left, saith the Lord.
The other and smaller faction. who
for centuries believed that the ark ie
concealed somewhere In Jerusalem
ask: IF 1t was taken to Babylonia
what became OF It? Where is It:
There must be some record Of IT,"
This faction always believed that
the ark was hidden away and buried
In the basement OF the temple. They
say that King Josiah, for fear that II
taken to Babylon, the ark would never
be brought back to the Holy City, con.
cealed 1t under the tagging of the
temple basement which Is now the
basement OF the mosque OF Omar.
III this view OF the case Is correct
the story OF the vandalism from Jeru-
salem Is plausible. II the Bible is
right the story Is impossible.

GYPSY ASSA|LS
THE HYPOCR|TE

Straight from the shoulder talk
was handed out by Gipsy Smith
last night to 5000 Tacomans
when he said:
There are multitudes of peo-
pie in this city who call them
selves Christians who have no
Christian spirit. Do you know you
ALLEVIATE the outsider, the man you
call the non-churchgoer? We libel
the man in the street when we say
he does not want Jesus. Why, such
men have such a high ideal of what
a man ought to be who progresses
Christ they hesitate to take the
step to enter into the kingdom.
Some of them, too, get enough
of you Christians six days of the
week and they keep clear of you
on Sunday. They say the people
who profess to be Christians do not
live up to 1t, and they do not want
to mix with you. They take their
hats off and honor a real Christian.
The outside man is even more re-
spectful for the real thing when he
sees It. They hate with a perfect
hatred, however, these caricatures
of Christ"
