Queen Jezebel as representing

false Church system united to these
earthly systems; whereas the true vir-

faithful to her Lord, awaiting His Sec

Him was to be accomplished.

4uently made feature of the crecds.
For twelve centuries there was prac-
tically no more Bible study; the Apos.
tolic Bishops had formulated the creeds
as proper statements Of true faith.
Revival of Bible Study.
Twelve centuries after the first ex-
preston by the so-called Apostolic
Bishops bring us to 1926. when print
ing had become common. In that year
Tyndale published his translation Of
the New Testament in Germany, be-
cause of the opposition OF the English
clergy, and imported 1t into London.
where the people began to purchase 1t.
Meantime. the Germans were learning
something Of the New Testament
teachings from Luther and his assO-
ciates. But the English bishops bought
up the entire edition Of Tyndale's New
Testament. and burned the books.
Several other TRANSACTIONS were sub
sequently brought out. Finally the
bishops gave the people the Bible, but
warned them against any construction
different from the creeds-threatening
them with eternal torture. Later, the
Roman Catholics produced the Douay
Bible. This was given to the people
with similar threatenings. The con-
fict prOceeded until 100 ,vhon fhn lt.

Some Bible scholars have applied this
as beginning In $50 A. d. and ending
in 1899. AS during Elijahs hiding in
the wilderness there was no rain, so in
the Church's experiences there was n
spiritual drouth for 1860 years.
AS just before the drouth in Israel
ended there was a great contest (relat-
ed In our lesson) with the victory on
the Lords side, so great contest took
place between Catholicism and Protest
antism in the period styled the Refor-
nation. The Revelation pictures the
Church rs a woman driven into the
wilderness-lOst to general view. The
woman corresponds in the type to Eli
Jah hidden from the king. the queen
and the prophets Of Baa. AS Elijah
was fed in the wilderness. so the true
Church. secluded from general view,
was spiritually fed during the twelve
hundred and sixty years of famine.
After emerging from the wilderness
condition, the Elijah class did very
courageous work. Spiritual refresh
ment came abundantly. For time it
looked as though Queen Jezebel had
been yanquisbed, rs though the Staying
Of her prophets with the Sword of
Truth had exalted Gods Word and the
true Church. However, the Elijah
class again fed from Jezebel
Why Deprived of Rain.
Many express surprise that Gods

Of spiritual drouth are the explanation
About 800 A. ID. Christian bishops began
TO claim Apostolic power and to style
themselves Apostolic Bishops. The
claim Is still made that the bishops of
the Church of Rome, of the Church of
England, ETC., are of equal authority
with the Twelve Apostles The Bible
is to the contrary-that the Twelve
Apostles selected by Jesus were to be

Submerqed Timber.

The strength OF hemlock stick a
foot square that had been In water for
almost forty years was recently test.
ed In the coo, ,oo0-pound testing ma
chine at Rensselaer, Polytechnic insti-
tute at Troy. in New York. The tim.
ber. which was 16 feet inches long,
had formed pert of one OF the piers OF
the Congress street bridge at Troy.
When the pier broke down after the
food in the spring Of 1913, the timber
was turned over to one Of the mate
rialtesting laboratories of the instl-
tute. II was kept In the open air
for three months, and then placed In
dry room for q little more than nine
months. When placed in the testing
machine. the calumn failed under a
load of $4,000 pounds; that is, the
long-submerged wood showed an ulti-
mate strength Of a,67O pounds to the
square inch. In the opinion Of Prof.
T. r. Lawson. who conducted the test,
the remarkable strength of this piece
Of hemlock seems to show that be-
