larger sum than It would be today.
The payment Of It required the re-
moval of much ornamental gold from
the temple. but It was paid over and
the release granted. The successful
Sennacherib. about to attack Egypt,
rued his agreement with Judah, and
In violation of his compact, his gem
eral appeared before Jerusalem and
demanded its surrender. Loudly did
he proclaim the victories already
achieved and warned the people Of
Jerusalem not to trust IN their God
for deliverance, telling them that
other peoples had trusted in their
gods and that all had failed before
Sennacherib.
Fear prevailed IN Jerusalem. The
king and his counselors were not only
fearful of war and captivity and the
loss Of their all. but they dared not
trust the people lest they should sur
render and open the city gates. Then
IL was that the king and his advisors
and the people sought the Lord in
prayer.
The Lord was waiting to be grac-
ious, as He always is TO those who are
His true people. He delayed, how
ever. to give the word of comfort, un-
til the necessities Of the case had
humbled the people and taught them
lesson Of faith and dependence upon
their God. Then came the answer
of the Lord the prophecy that the
King of Assyria should not come into
the city nor shoot an arrow there, nor
even come before it with shields. nor
cast up embankments of siege, but
that the Lord would defend the city
as His own. Doubtless the prophecy
seemed strange to the people. BY
what miracle this could be accom-
plishod they could not think. The
lesson to lis Is that.
God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm"

The lesson for us is TO note the Di-
vine power which overrules, orders
and directs, so that all things shall
work together in harmony with His
Will. 1t was not His will that Assyria
should become the first Universal
Empire. That honor was reserved
for the kingdom Of Babylon. a cen
tury later-at exactly the proper time
when God was prepared to withdraw
His own typical kingdom, of the line
Of David from the eatth--to be over
turned, overturned. overturned" un-
I'll the Messiah should come.
The lesson TO the Christian is that
we should keep right with God, sbid-
ing under the shadow Of the AL
mighty; and that so doing, all things
shall work together for our good.
Though these New Creatures are
chosen mainly from the lower strata
of society and the world knoweth
them not the Scriptures assure them
that God appreciates the faithful ones
of this class now being sought and
developed
Not only does He tell Of Divine
supervision of their affairs, but that
the angels are ministering spirits
sent unto those who are heirs of sal
vation (Heb /, 14)
"Tbe Enemy Melted Like Snow at the
GIace Of the Lord
The story of Sennancherib's defeat
by the angel of the Lord has been
put into verse by one of our great
poets, Byron, as follows
"The Assyrian came down like the
wolf on the fold,
And his cohorts were cleaning with
purple and gold;
Like the leaves Of the forest when
summer is green,
That host with their banners at sun
set we're seen.
Like the leaves OF the forest which
autumn hath blown,
That host on the morrow law with
cred and strown;
/ For the Angel of Death spread his
wings on the blast
And breathed in the face OF the fo'
as he passed.
"And the tents were all silent, th'
banners alone,
The lances untitled, the trumpet un
blown.
And the might of the Gentle, un
smote by the sword.
Hath melted like snow at the glac'
of the Lord"
