not know and does not care to know.
The atheist says there is no God, al
tho men of many nations have made
gods of that which they conceived to
be good and superior in attributes OF
beauty, love and power.
The sun is the greatest object in the
universe. It's rising and length of
light gave life and power. Darkness
was the symbol of death and dam
nation.
Nebuchadnazzer, king of Babylon,
who took the Jews into captivity, $50
B. c., III Kings 1924 erected a tenn
pie to the sun-god. A clay cylinder
on which was his prayer to Sippar,
stating he was the restorer of the
temple, was found in 1914.
Molech, the fre-god, was the titular
deity of the Canaanite, Syrian and
Arab tribes. Human sacrifice was
a common tribute to appease the
wrath of these gods. The image of
Molech was of brass, with a face like
a calf, hollow within. Fire was
kindled within and the priests took
the babe, put it in Molech and the babe
gave up the ghost, like the women of
India throw their babes to the croco-
diles as a tribute to their god.
Abraham, the founder of the great
family, tribe and nation, 1896 B. c.,
had a vision from Yehwey (Jehovah)
which gave him a mental conception
that there was a creator and spirit
greater and beyond the earth, moon,
sun and stars. There was a supreme
spirit of life, called Jehovah, and ere
ator and governor of the universe
which was designated by the Hebrew
writer's as Elohim.
When Abraham took his only son,
Isaac, to sacrifice, as was the religious
custom of many tribes, Jehovah
showed him a lamb and gave him a
mental conception that the Staying of
the lamb and the spilling of its blood
would be a satisfactory substitute to.
appease the wrath of God. Hence
the Children of Israel became the first
tribe to abolish human sacrifice and
use all their powers to abolish sun
and fire worship.
From earliest times slavery was
common between tribes and nations.
Not only the common laborer, but the
educated were captured and made to
work at their trade and learned bust
ness as scriveners of books and litera-
ture for propaganda work of the cap
tors, to the nations who paid tribute
When Jacobs oldest sons sold
Joseph to Egyptians they did what
was common in that time. When
the sons and Jacob went down to
Egypt to get food, because of a fam
inc in Palestine and were made slaves
such was the common rule of nations.
Yet the children of Israel were true
to Jehovah, the rue God, father of
spirits, who punished the Egyptians.
The mark of freedom was the blood
of a lamb on the doorposts. Jehovah
said "When l see the blood | will pass
over you" EXODUS 12:13.) 1t is the
blood that maketh an atonement for
the soul. Lev. 17:11.)
The First Slave Strike
After 400 years of slavery to the
Egyptians, the Children of Israel, n
Ger Moses, struck for freedom. Je-
hoval guided them thru the Red Sea,
and thru the Wilderness and gave to
Moses a moral code of laws, the Ten
Commandments. Exodus 20.
First Government BY Laws
Moses, being unable to judge all dis
putes, had made statutes, ordinances
and judgments by the prophets.
The Jews were the first to have a
moral code, civil code, sanitary code,
and sex hygiene code. They first had
free labor for hire, abolished punish
ment of one for the sins of another
and that judgment should not be per-
verted for the stranger. Deuteron-
omy 20.
1t has taken 5000 years to gen.
tiles to learn the value of these which
make a vigorous, virile and sagacious
people. Eating the lamb without
spot or blemish was evidence that
there was no blood disease to acquire
from impure food.
Victory Passover
The Passover is annually celebrat-
ed in commemoration of the salvation
of the Jews from the destroying
angel and freedom from slavery to
the Pharaohs. The Passover this
year from April 14th to 21st is of
world significance, because Jerusalem
the capitol of the Hebrew nation has
been captured by the British Army
and is now free from the Mohamme-
dams. Great Britain was the first ma
ton with a king to emancipate the
Jews and since 1776 the Jew and Cen
tile in the United States have been
free to come and go, to be governed
by statutes, ordinances and judg-
ments, and not by the whims of mon
archs, kings and feudal lords.
Book of Kings Closed
From the first strike against the
rule of Kings, about 1000 B. C. to
the last and final victory over kings
in 1918 A. D. is a stride wonderful in
the history of mankind.
There are now 20 Republics in the
world and only Fl monarchies. When
the War World began they were about
At the close of the Peace
Conference the Republics will be in
