CHAPTER XII.
Kennedy's Return

Half carrying. half forcing Elaine down
into the water, Del Mar and his two
men, all four of the party clad in the
outlandish submarine suits, bore the
poor girl literally along the bottom of the
bay until they reached a point which
they knew to be directly under the en-
trance to the secret submarine harbor.
Del Mars mind was working feverishly.
Though he now had in his power the
girl he both loved and also feared as
the stumbling block in the execution of
his nefarious plans against America, he
realized that in getting her he had been
forced TO betray the precious secret of
the harbor itseld.
At the point where he knew that the
harbor was above him, hidden safely be-
meath the promontory. he took from un-

of the Philistines The ARK OF the CoUe-
took place. The H"""
Israelites went out to meet them in bat
tie and We're defeated. In their chagrin
they looked to God, just as all the ma
lions of Europe today are doing.
Indeed. the Israelites had more
ground for attempting to bring God
into the war, for invoking the assist
ance of religious symbols, ETC., than
have the warning kingdoms of today;
for God had declared that they were
His special people, and that He would
protect them as long as they would
be loyal to Him. On the other hand,
the kingdoms of this world have
no such Divine promise, have no
ground for such expectations of Di-
vine aid. They are falsely styling
themselves Christian kingdoms
''Christendom''; whereas they have nei-
Their part nor lot with the Lord. He
recognizes no nations except Natural
Israel of the past and Spiritual Israel
of the present. Peter 80.
A Present-Day Parallel.
The ~Israelites doubtless had read
how the Ark of the Lord went before
them in the Wilderness journey, how
it was in the midst of the Jordan
when the people crossed dry-shod, and
how it was in the procession that
marched around Jericho when the
walls fell. So they determined to bring
the Ark and put it into the battle.
Their reasoning apparently vas that
God would moi permit the Ark of the
Covenant to be injured or captured;
and that hence the victory would be
bound to come to Israel.
The people forgot that they had been
living in violation of their Covenant
with Cod; and that that Covenant call
ed for punishment upon them at the
hand of their enemies. They forgot
that the two priests were thieves and
robbers, CARRIED as the priests of God:
that they were immoral, impure, pos
ing as the representatives of the Df
vine Holiness.
Today, as in the days of Ellis sons
the people shout as they couple the
Cause of God with their national prof
ects. Again they forget that Gods
Cause is under Divine direction, and
will prosper best by the permission OF
a great defeat to all these systems OF
men. preparing incidentally for the es
adjustment of Messiah's Kingdom, aft
