relics in the shape of inscribed tablets
and other objects.
Graves from this later period we're
found not far off, the dead being inferred
in pottery coffns between the houses Of
the living. They were, in accordance with
the prehistoric custom that survived in
Babylonia when 1t had long died out in
Egypt, buried in a crouched or CrunChed
up position, lying on the left side. This
position is believed by anthropologists TO
symbolic the primitive idea that dead
men became demons waiting to pounce
on the living
With the bodies we're simple ornaments,
such as pins and beads OF agate and car
nelian, and pots to contain food and water
for the dead.
At Shahrein, which lies fourteen miles
out from Ur in the waterless desert, were
found ancient houses with walls covered
with lime plaster, sometimes adorned with
a simple painted decoration of horizontal
red, white and black stripes. This was
evidently an important suburb of Ur
A section OF the rough stone wall of the
ancient city was laid bare and collections
made of the interesting debris that had
been washed out onto the surrounding
desert surface. Here were found flint and
obsidian knives, fakes and arrow heads;
Celts of jasper and jadeite. mace heads OF
rough limestone, fragments Of arragOnite
vases and small objects OF lapis lazuli and
shell.
Very remarkable and durable were the
nails used. which were usually of copper
with gold heads, and in some instances of
solid gold Other objects found were
many articles of unknown use. There
were numberless vases Of curiOusly paint
ed pottery. They were decorated with re-
markable designs, In some cases described
as Jazz" and "futuristiC" and. in some
cases, as realistic.

Then Daniel went on with his interpre-
tation of the dream: And whereas thou
sawest the feet and toes, part of potters'
clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall
be divided; but there shall be in it OF the
strength Of the iron forasmuch as thou
sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
And as the toes OF the feet were part
of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom
shall be partly strong and partly broken.
And whereas thou sawest iron mixed
with miry clay, they shall mingle them
selves with the seed of men: but they
shall not Cleave one TO another, even as
iron is not mixed with clay"
The ancient kings of Babylonia and the
adjacent regions spent a great part OF
theier wealth and time creating strange
images and idols such as are now being
rug up by the arChaeObOgists. This part
Of the world was apparently the earliest
home of civilization, and many of the
sciences and fine arts had their origin
there. That is one reason why such re-
searches as are now being conducted are
of great value to education.
In another part Of the Book of Daniel
we read that "NPbuchadnezzar, the King,
made an image of gold, whose height was
threesCore cubits and the breadth there
of six cubits: he set it up in the plain
Of Dura, in the province Of Babylon"
viii the exCavatOrs discover one of
these immense images Of gold that the
ancient kings were so fond Of making?
It Is possible for many small objects Of
gold have been found at Ur But perhaps
the ancient Greeks and Romans who con-
uuered these regions when Babylonia was
falling into decadence, were smart enough
TO carry away all large objects OF solid
gold.
This mighty golden image set up by
NebuchadneZZar was the one which the
king commanded the pious Jews, Shad-
rach. Meshach and Abednego to worship.
When they refused he cast them into a
burning fiery furnace, but the flames
miraculously left them unharmed.
The BabylOnian kings maintained an
enormous staff Of learned men and ma
gicians. Whenever King Belshazzar was
worried he consulted "the magicians. the
astrologers. the Chaldeans and the sooth-
sayers." The province of Chaldea, or the
Chadees was evidently the centre Of
highly esteemed branch of learning. 1t
will be interesting to learn some details
of this early science.
While the exCavators have not yet re-
ported the discovery of any authentic
relics of Abraham or his family, it is quite
possible they have done so, for many of
the objects found are of his day as well
as earlier
The date when Abraham is believed to
have left Ur Of the Chaldees is generally
fixed at 200O B. G. He was the son OF
Terah, a citizen of Ur Of the Chaldees.

copper covering almost intact and the cop
rer head Of one Of the stays has been put
together It will he a great task to pre-
serve the relief Of the devlish lmgig.
The bodies OF the stays were made of
copper plates. rudely fastened with nails
TO a wooden core.
Other objects of interest were a golden
bulls horn; beautiful mosaic pillars made
of squares of red and black stOneN and
mOtherof-pearl, fastened with copper wire
into bitumen laid over a wooden core, and
rosettes of pottery with petals of red,
white and black stone.
When the scientists examined the con-
struction OF these images Of heather gods
and demons. they recalled the description
Of various images given by the Prophet
Daniel in interpreting the dreams Of Nebu-
Chadnezzar King OF BabylOnS In his
dream Interpretation Daniel was evidently
describing the kind of statues that existed
in Ur and other BabylOnian cities. In the
second chapter Of the Book OF Daniel the
Prophet says to the King, who has been
dreaming:
Thou, o King, sawest and behold
great image. This great image, whose
brightness was excellent, stood before
thee; and the form thereof was terrible.
This images head was Of fine gold, his
breast and his arms of silver, his belly and
his thighs Of brass.
"His legs OF iron, his feet part of iron
and part Of clay.
"Thou sawest till that a stone was cut
out without hands, which smOte the image
upon his feet that were OF iron and clay,
and brake them to pieces.
Then was the iron, the clay, the brass,
the silver and the gold broken to pieces
together, and became like the chaff of the
Summer threshing floors and the wind
carried them away, that no place was
found for them: and the stone that smotc
the image became a great mountain, and
filed the whole earth"

leave his kinsmen at Haran and go forth
and found a great nation by himself.
He travelled south and dwet for a time
on the plain of Moreh. Then there came a
famine and he went on to Egypt with his
wife, Sarai later called Sarah There her
beauty attracted the attention of the
wicked Pharaoh. 1t was only because the
lord afflicted the monarch with plaques
that Abraham was able to keep his be-
loved wife
After that Abraham settled at Hebron,
on the plains of Canaan, where there was
good grazing ground for his flocks His
cousin Lot chose the city Of Sodom, in the
valley of the Jordan. probably because
there was a prospect of quicker wealth to
be gained there. The Bible tells us how
Lot marvellously escaped from the doom
that fell on the wicked cities of Sodom
and Gomorrah, while his wife was turned
TO pillar Of salt.
After his long wanderngs Abraham ac-
COrding TO the Book of Genesis miraCu-
lousy became the father Of a son at the
age of ninety-nine, while his wife was
ninety. This son was Isaac. who in his
turn became the ancestor Of the people OF
Israel.
Abraham was so faithful to Jehovah that
he even prepared to sacrifice his only son
Isaac when ordered TO do so as a test Of
his piety
The scientists who have been delving
into Ur now understand why a man of
Abraham's type would have wanted to
leave the wicked. idolatrous dissipated,
heat-stricken crowded city and go away
where he could lead a better life Doubt
less his father Terah, was of a similar
disposition. They wanted to find a COun-
try where they could live in the open air
and bring up healthy children and feed
their 1ocks.
They were good deal like some of the
city dwellers Of today who want to escape
from the crowded cities and lead simpler
life but there was more room in the world
then Babylon is referred to constantly in
the Bible as the type of the crowded,
wicked, feverish city, just as a moralist of
today might refer to New York or Paris or
London. Ur was in the same country as
Babylon and probably the older city.
The story about the Tower of Babel in
the Bible shows what the people of Abra-
hams day thought about the daring enter.
prises and extravaganCes of the kings and
rich people Of Babylonia. They said I'VE
will build city and a tower, whose top
shall reach unto heaven" The Tower of
Babel was doubtless as high, according to
the conceptions bf those times, as the
Woolworth Building is to-day, and fitted
with some luxuries which the latter does
not possess.
Simple, Godfearing men like Abraham
were Mortified at such extravagances and
fed from them The ideal pastoral com
munity which he founded lives in tradition
as the age of the patriarchs"
