world Citizenship" to
Be Discussed At
United Church Service

The services at the United church
tomorrow will center on the thought
of world citizenship, and the speakers
both morning and afternoon are pc
cu1iarly fitted to deal with this sub
ject. DIR. James L. Barton of Boston,
who will speak in the morning, was
for some time missionary in Tur-
key, and was also president of the
Euphrates college there. For 23 years
he has been foreign secretary of tbs
American Board of Foreign. Missions.
and has three times been sent with
Populations to oriental countries.
At the vesper service Mr.. Franklin
H. Warner of New York, will speak
on Missions as Viewed by Lay
man" Mr.. Warner recently took an
unusual trip through India. Ceylon and
Japan Through letters of intro
duction from missionaries, he met
many interesting people whom tour
list would usually have no opportun-
ity of meeting and he was entertain
ed at the homes of some of the ma
tives. On this trip Mr.. Warner took
some colored slides which he will
show at the afternoon service.

The Walls of Jericho
(By NOBLE FOSTER HOGGsoN
President, Hoggson Brothers, Builders)

Such series of disasters as befell
the wall do not happen by accident
Looking at the case from every avail
able angle, it is plain that the first
builders committed errors which time
sanctffied and made permanent,
though the walls themselves were not,
The existence of the city depended up
on the strength of the walls, and Jeri-
cho, through an ancient mistake, be
came huddle of sun-parched huts,
rather than a city among cities.
All of US have our idols and the
people of Jericho had more than their
fair share. In addition to those which
they set up and worshipped, there was
evidently one that they talked about
when the elders came together. This
was the soil-the richest soil in the
world, perhaps, except that in the
delta Of the Nile, a truly wondrous
soil for raising fruits and vegetables,
but no sort of soil for making mud
baked bricks. Such soil there was
indeed a few miles away in the hills
god red clary, if lime and sand and
granite did not appeal.
But the soil was a sort Of god to
the people of Jericho-it fed them, it.
had served their fathers, so why
should it not encompass them in a
wall of surprising strength? Local
pride, fortified in local tradition, has
ruined many building; but it never
ruined a more important one than the
Walls of Jericho. The soil that would
raise prize specimens of Jerlcho's
equivalent for pumpkins wouldn't
make a decent brick; Joshua knew
that and SO did generals of the rest
of the neighboring tribes, but the peo-
pie of Jericho couldn't see any reason
for bringing clay or stone or cement
down from the hills when they had
plenty of good, black, respectfully
vouched for mud, within the city linn
its
Cheapness may have been con-
sideration, too. Ill-judged economy
and local-prfde are apt to prove fatal
to any building project, while, on the
other hand, that snobbishness which
refuses to use perfectly good native
materials may also prove disastrous.
But Jericfo's problem was not so1v-
ed by black mud, and Jericho was
too blind to see it. And though they
do not fall down at the blast of the
trumpet, there are today a terrifying
number of temporary monuments to
somebody's local pride, reinforced by
somebody's desire to save at the wrong
end of the building operation. For
there are those who will never learn
that the time to save on a building
operation is after one has made sure
of ones results-that one can't save
anything at the expense Of quality.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-09-29

None would be likely to dispute the
right Of the walls Of Jericho to the
title of the most futile building opera
ton Of antiquity. Whenever I hear
that idiomatic phrase Of ours which
says that this man or that falls down
when needed, 81 wonder IL it's coiner
had not in mind this early building
operation which has successfully held
its rank as the most ludicrous fiasco
in the annals of construction.
The Tower of Babel failed for the
lack Of a single directing hand strong
enough to overcome divergent views
on construction, expressed in tongues
as unintelligible as they were irrecon-
cilab1e. We have done Babel the hon
or to make it d byword, but Jericho is
a name that stands for a failure too
pitiabIe to be worthy of even perpetu-
al contemptuous reference. The curse
of Joshua, who promised him who
should rebuild the walls
Nintey-one distinct danlnations,
One sure, if the other fails
seems to have been most completely
and satisfactorily fulfilled. The walls
are as if they had not been.
Where the walls of Babylon ran, the
archaeoIogist feels his way and points
moat. Before his vision, too, rises
Nineveh anew; Tyre and Sidon of old
have left us that which enables us to
know them as they were. But Jericho
Is huddle of huts and the Judean
equivalent for pumpkin patch.
Whatever Joshua and his priestly
trumpets may have had to do with
the falling Of the first walls, it is au
parent that the real curse was that
of a bad beginning stubbornly fol-
lowed to an evil end. At the COM
Portable distance of one commenttn~
several thousand years after the fscr,
1t makes no difference whether the
Hebrew or the Mohammedan tradition
is the correct one-whether the walls
fell down at the seven blasts of the
seven rams horps or whether they
were destroyed in two days by the
warriors of Israel, as believed by the
Mohammedans, who MAINTAIN that 1t
was upon this occasion and not an
other that Joshua commanded the
sun to stand STILL The fact remains
that the walls of Jericho fell down
or were battered down when they
were most needed, and that all sue
ceeding attempts to build permanent
walls there failed.
What little knowledge history and
tradition bring us Of these disappoint-
ing structures might we'll he the basis
of THE Tale Of the Improbable
Builders" And that tale is not with
out modern instances, as numerous as
they are modern.
