Of the VigIIantes.
The papers chronicle day by day the
steady advance of the British soldiers
nOrthward through Palestine. Their
lines extend from the Jordan to the
sea and they are slowly but surely
driving the Turks before them in this
latest greatest and most decisive
crusade.
II the followers of MahOmPt can
make any stand against the followers
of Christ 1t will surely be in the plain
Of EsdraelOn, one Of the natural bat
tlefields Of the world. 1t Is singular
how some places lend themselves In
evltably to conflict. The plain of Jez-
reel, to give it another name, Is one
of these. 1t has Deen fought over con-
tinually since ThOthmes there defeated
history. Jew and Gentle; Canaanite,
Assyrian, BabylOnian, Scythian, Per-
sian, Greek and Roman contested for
its mastery in the East; English,
French, Italian, German, Arabian. and
Turk from Godfrey and Richard and
Saladin to Napoleon drenched its fer.
tile soil with blood in more modern
times. May the Forthcoming be the
last Of its many battles, and Allenby
the last of the long line of crusaders.
One of the most decisive of the con-
filcts upon that plain occurred In 1895
b. C. when Barak, the Lightning, in
splred by Deborah led ten thousand
men down the slopes Of Mount Tabor
in a successful night OnfalI and sur
prise Of the army of the OppressOr,
Jabin Of HazOr, under the command
Of Sisera. The HazOrites were disas-
trouSly defeated, driven in panic ter
rOr down the narrow pass cut by the
KishOn, then in full flood, and killed
or drowned in large numbers.
Deborah made a great song about
the triumph. One stanza runs this
way:
Course We MerOz, said the Angel Of
the Lord, curse ye bitterly the inhabi-
tants thereof; because they came not
TO the Eelp of the Lord, to the help
Of the Lord against the mighty"
No one knows where MerOz lay. No
ruined veStigeS remain to identify II.
There is no other mention of it in the
pages of history. There is no ground
even for speculation about 1t. Yet for
over thIrty-twO centuries it has been
piIIOried in its infamy in that immortal
song. Whatever vts prosperity and its
works, whatever its hopes and achieve
ments, the loves and hates, the sue
cesseS or failures. of its peOple-they
are all forgotten n the blfstering, with.
ering condemnation of the singer. II
stands as a place accurSed forever.
Perhaps its utter oblivion is the re-
suit of the merited condemnation.
Shall there be written against OuI
city. against our land. the curse of
MerOz? Shall we apply TO these and
TO ourselves this slackers' text? Or
shall we come to the help Of the Lord
