Murmuring Hellinists.

As long an the followers of Christ were
sufYering prosecutions the outward peril
cemented them. but when for a season the
persecutions were removed the differences
due to speech and social standing stirred
In the sin Of jealousy that was the source
Of the differences between the two ele-
ments in the church.
To understand the serious divisions that
threatened the church the student must
recall the influence OF the captivity upon
the Jewish people. Previous to the flower
OF the land being carried by the forces
Of NebuchadneZZar into exile the Jews
had tried to live INDEPENDENTLY OF al
other people, preserving their faith and
family estates from generation to gener-
alton. The captivity changed all that, for
colonies were planted in Egypt, BABY
lonia Persia Media and throughout the
empire The number that returned under
Zerubbabel and Ezra did not equal the
numbers that were scattered over the
east.

teachings and truths that they learned
from their heather associates. yet their
loyalty to the worship of Jehovah caused
them to carry into their exile, the only
portable religious possession of their peo-
pie. The laws OF Moses, the synagogue
and their spiritual life made them dor,i-
nant factor in the religious history of
commerce ard culture separated them
from their Palestinian kinsnlen, whose
rigid adherence to their ancient religious
principles and practices developed not
only into a narrowness OF view, but it
had been intensified as result OF their
romantic struggle against the Greek King
OF Syria. who had attempted to force them
as a nation to accept the religion of
Greece. that the Damascus rulers consid-
cred the faith of culture and civilization
so that the Palestinian Jew possessed a
feeling OF antagonism 10 everything
Grecian.
The only thing that had kept the Jews,
who were scattered throughout the east
ern countries. from being absorbed by the
nations with whom they dwelt was their
loyalty to the monotheistic faith This
prevented their acceptance of the poly

the Gentiles Their monotheistic faith

FEARS PAPER JOBBERS
HAVE PLAYED UNFAIRLY
Trade Commission Probes Charges
Made by Smaller Publishers.

The Federal Trade Commission is turn
Ing to the jobbers of news print paper
to discover whether the activities Of
these tradesmen have served to boost the
price Of that commodity to a point at
which 1t threatens to drive the smaller
publishers of the country out OF exist
ence.
The commission announced last night
that it will resume its hearings in the
paper investigation December %, armed
with a mass of information now being
collected from publishers as to how much
paper there now is on hand and what the
demand will be for the next year.
The commission Is said to have evi-
dence indicating that the jobbers have
been manipulating the news print paper
market. II is alleged they have taken
advantage of small publishers who have
not made yearly contracts for their paper
supply and gouged them. The commits
sion's evidence shows that much of the
paper bought through jobbers was
charged for at rates twice as high as the
rates charged by the manufacturers.
Tho commission still is working with a
committee of the publishers and manu-
facturers on a plan to distribute the
available supply of paper equitably
among the publishers, but has reached no
adjustment so far.
