particular lessons we ought 70
learn from this history
First Every failure. every moral
wrong, every fan into idolatry, ev-
cry diminution of power for good is
the result % a separation from God
IA departure from the ways OF
God and Righteousness. II also
shows MS that Gods constant solici-
tude .hlr the Jews should bee kept

idolatry had in il the best interests
Of his aNn people and could only
lead 60 chose blessings which he had
prepare for his particular people.
Secondly. The overthrow OF Is
rael is directly attributed 20 its COM
plote abandonment 10 idolatry. Be-
ginning with false worship and a
dcpendcrce upon men. there was
the int.r .uction of idolatry and a
development OF evil which led 10 a
rapid decline. the Introduction OF
revolutions and the anal cxtincuish-
ment OF the kingdom.
As To Judah. il finally was brought
into captivity because that was tho
only way that God could purge the
nation om the sin of idolatry. They
must taught that there is but
one Go that the word Of God must
be obeyed. and that their safety lay
in the faith which they placed in His
promises The leaders of this PEE

this period are Daniel Isaiah. Hag-
gai. ZeChariah. Malachi. Notice how
each and every one aided the cause
of righteousness.
There are two great heroes OF the
return. Ezra and Nehemiah Take
up the actions OF each and show
how ne proved his heroism. A
good method to summarize the
teachings which center about these
two great men. The period of the
return is the one that we should
emphasize. showing how return 10

the paramount need of the present

John had seen men at worSA, but
many Of them looked 20 him more
like machinists than millers. one
was operating one machine: sec
ond. another; others were wheeling
and stacking bags OF -four in a
storehouse or loading them on
cars. John was surprised 20 find
how little these men knew about
the various processes and the parts
of the mill in which they were not
working when he asked for in
formation. some of them could tell
him quite clearly what was done by
the machines which they were OPP
Grating. but others seemed to
know very little about the process
except how to keep their own ma
chimes running.
When his father called for him
at noon, John talked excitedly
about what he had seen and con-
cluded his description. 1T certain
~ takes a great deal Of machinery
and a great many men doing a
great many different things 70 pro-
duce the flour for bread. There
must be scores of men in that mill.
each one of whom is doing a diff
ferent thing. and it must have cost
hundreds Of thousands of dollars
10 build that plant before 1t could
have turned out enough -four for
single loaf Of bread"
Yes" said his father. that is
one way in which business of today
differs from the business of my
boyhoOd. It is much more special
lied: that is. people work at some
small part of a great process, and
it is only by having all of these
specialists organized so that they
cooperate that good results are ac-
complished. There is more spe-
cialization in many factories than
there is in that -four mill. For in
stance. in the shoe factory which l
inspected this morning there are
hundreds and hundreds of men
and women who are operating ma
chimes which do some small part of
making a shoe These workers
know very little concerning any
part OF the work except the oper-
alton of their own machines. A
lining stitcher sews together the
different pieces OF the lining; a
! "closer-on" stitches the linging into
the shoes. A gang punch OPP
orator" punches the holes for the
eyelets. An "eyeleter" puts in the
/ eyelets with another machine. A
hooker" puts in the hooks with
still another machine. In working
on the heels. a heel slugger'
| drives into the heels a row of brass
or steel nails. A "heel-trimmer"

20 the third break Before John
was through. he had watched the
-r1in pass through six or seven sets
Of these rollers. or as the mill men
spoke OF the process, through six
or seven breaks" After each
break the broken kernels were
bOlJed or sif,ed.
John learned that some flour
was sifted or bolted out after
each break. and that finally the
stream OF broken grain was clean
ed of bran by a bran duster.' Be
fore any of the boited -four was
ready for packing it was put
through a purifier" where very
fine sleeves and light currents Of
air took out the remaining i'm
purities.
John was surprised 10 see that
when the flour came through all
these many operations il was rather
dark in color. not white like that
which he had seen his mother use
however, that the whitening or
bleaching was accomplished by
spraying the flour with a stream
OF air containing nitrogen peroxide.
This chemical, he was told by the
mill men, whitened the flour by de-
colorizing the oil of the wheat
When the -four was finally ready
for the bags, it was dropped into
a large chute at the lower end Of
which was a hollow cylinder This
cylinder was part of a packing
machine; the bags were slipped
over the lower end of il and the
flour was packed almost auto
matically. The bags were OF the
various sizes which John had fire.
quently seen in grocery torres. The
larger ones were made of cloth
and the smaller ones Of heavy
paper.
Last of all. John was taken into
the mill laboratory. There he saw

The united kingdom with its three
kings, Saul, David and Solomon,
lasted from about 100 B. c. to SS3

Then begins the divided kingdom
Judah and Israel side by side, a
double experiment in the progress
of the kingdom Of God. This period

the time of the destruction OF the

period of the exile from the first

of great discipline and sitting as

The return from exile and the
