took place The mani
Israelites went out to meet them In bat
tie and were defeated. In their chagrin
they looked to God, just as all the na
tons of Europe today are doing.
Indeed. the Israeites 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 mel.
Their part nor lot with the Lord He
recognizes no nations except Natural
Israel of the past and Spiritual Israel
Of the present. Peter 90
~ . d' ai'S's
The lsraelites doubtless had read
how the Ark of the Lord went before
them In the Wilderness journey, how
1t was in the midst of the Jordan
when the people crossed dry-shod, and
how 1t 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 was that
God would not 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 God; 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 ID
vine Holiness.
Today, as in the days of Els 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-

There was great slaughter and a
scattering of the Israelites Ellis two
sons were slain The Ark of God was
captured. A swift runner brought the
sad intelligence to Shiloh, where Ell
as Judge sat upon his high seat in the
gate, fearfully remembering the TWEEN
ty-year-before prediction of disaster
The runner reported to Eli that the
battle had gone against the lsraelltes'
that his two sons were slain and that

Cheap money will solve many Of

There is not enough OF the COM

Success in farming largely depends

Something is wrong in our market

Good Shot

Says the Brush, Colorado, Repub-
lican:
Brush is about to be infected with
a series of evangelistic meetings con-
Quoted by q man Of "Billy" Sunday
type who travels over the country
putting on spectacular religious
shows with the main object Of get
ting all the money he can get out OF
the locality. We don't believe in this
spasmodtc kind Of religion. The mon
ey spent on these kinds Of fakirs
could be put to much better use II
given to building up the local church,

night evangelist, whose kind Of re-
ligion is measured in dollars aid

How One Republican Paper Feels


The San Miguel Examiner, Repub-
lican, Of Telluride, Colo, makes the
following comment In . late issue:
1.-THE story Of the Republican, At
tempt to redistrict the State OF Colo
RADIO so that at the next election Con-
gressman Taylor would lose out, must
be q canard. Ed Taylor, In the hrst
place, stands about as high In the g.
timation Of the people, regardless OF
party, rs any man who ever donned
the senatorial toga. and no matter
what kind of scheme was formu-
lated, unless Examiner Is greatly
mistaken, II Ed wanted the office and
his own party did not turn him down
for the nomination, he would be
elected. According to our ideas he
comes about as near being . peoples
congressman rs we have ever had In
Congress. We have always admired
the man, and always shall, because
II there Is anything In the biblical
quotation, by their works ye shall
know them," Congressman Edward

Did you ever stop to think what .
great labor-saver the home paper Is
as q means of communication to ab-
sent friends? "Write to me often"
is the last command the one break
ing away from home ties usually
gives to those LETT behind. In the
rush and hurry of every day very few
people nowadays have time to devote
to correspondence Of the leisurely
kind the people Of other days kept up
with such unvarying punctuality.
And here is where the home paper
saves . world Of trouble. 1t is better
than q letter, too, for 1t contains
much that q letter would not and
cannot. Items of interest are In it
that the writer of q letter might not
know. It is wonderful how one de-

Alleged Game Gases

In the early part Of the week there
were rumors and rumor of rumors Of
violations Of the game laws.
The Herald sent out vigilant re-
porter to run them (the rumors)
down.
A Due investigation showed that
there was nothing to the rumors be-
yond superabundance Of hot (or
cold) air, and a disposition on the
part of neighbors to tell the truth on
each other. But, unfortunately, for
the wellbeing of the God Of Justice
In all cases, rumors and outlawed
evidence was the only thing back Of
the various would-be cases.
There was nothing doing In the
court of Mr.. Justice Gourley, and the
docket in Chief (locaD Justice San
derson's court was barer Of game
cases than Old Mother Hubbard's
cupboard of bones.
And there you are, ye seekers OF
