is the meanness which leads to the RI,

incapable of coping with Turkeys ra-

our Sunday school lesson tells US today.
But because its public men were like
Jehoiakim, who cut to pieces and then
burned Gods message brought to him by
jeremiah, or like his successor. who re-
fused to listen, to the prophets appeals
to turn from sin and teach the people to
obey Gods law. the life OF the kingdom
was sapped and destruction came.
Nebuchadnezzar was Gods agent In
Furnishing the people Of Judah. After
laying siege to Jerusalem for eighteen
months the city fell into his hands. The
event must have been shock to the in
habitants. Were they not Gods chosen
people? Then how could the wOrshipers

The lesson adds one more particular to
the unpleasant catalogue Of Zedekiah's g
failings. He was q coward. Instead OF
remaining in the city and fighting in It's
defense to the very last, he stole away
by night. Truly the crown had fallen
from his head: he was king no longer
1t was fitting that the crown should fall
from him. for 1t had already fallen from
his character.
But the neeing king was captured by
the army Of his conqueror. and his eyes
were put out and he was bound In chains
and carried to Babylon, together with
many of his people.
The accuracy OF the fulfillment Of Gods
prophecies is seen in these events Years
before Jerusalem's fall Ezekiel made
