THE VOICE OF SUFFERING

thrilled by the love of those surround
ing him. He struggles against their
enthusiasm, which overexcites a mirac-
ulous discovery. The true miracle,
says he is, that he had cursed God
and God had blessed him; God had
taken from him his hard heart and
had given him in it's place COM
passionate heart, eager to share all
suffering and to comprehend it's mean
ing. GLOW long it took him to find
it, to find you, my brethren. No more
curses! Sombre is our fate; but have
confidence, for wonderful is life, sa-
cred is the earth. I will embrace in
love those whom | have attacked in
anger"

blesses death and life. Baruch i'm

wants to build in their heart the eter-
nal Jerusalem. The people follow him
in calling him, 'the builder Of God"
Scene TX. The Road Eternal.
The large square of Jerusalem as
in the second scene but after the de-
struction. The twilight of a night
with the moon yelled in mist. In the
shadow you see wagons, mules, groups
of people ready to depart. Voices call
and count one another. The people
are confused and without guide The
unfortunate Zedekiah blind, cursed by
all, is left behind. Singers approach.
1t is jeremiah with his followers. The
prophet speaks to the incredulous
and hostile people; he consoles them,
he reveals to them their divine mis-
sion. Their heritage is sorrow; they
are the people of suffering, but the
people of God. Glory to the Ordeal!
From the bosom of the transported
people songs rise aloft, celebrating the
ordeals of the past, the stories of Miz-
rain, Moses They divide into
groups Of grave, clear and jubilant
voices. The whole epic of Israel vi
brates through those songs which
jeremiah directs like the leader of a
team. The people, little by little, in
toxicated, want to suffer, go into exile,
and demand of jeremiah to lead them.
He prostrates himself before the mis-
cradle Zedekiah, who is repulsed by
the mob. Zedekiah thinks he is ridi-

culing him, but Jeremiah says:
"Thou hast become the king of suf-
fering and never hast thou been more
royal -. Amounted by ordeal lead us!
Thou who no longer sees anything but
God, who no longer seest the earth,
guide thy people!"
And turning to the people, he points
out to them the guide sent by God,
him who was crowned with sorrow.
The people bow before their defeated
king.
The day dawns. The trumpets
sound. jeremiah on the steps of the
Temple calls Israel to depart. May
they fill their eyes with the sight of
the fatherland for last time. "Drink
in the walls, drink in the towers,
drink Jerusalem" They PROSTATE
themselves and kiss the earth, of
which they take handful with them.
Then addressing himself to the wan
dering people, jeremiah tells them to
rise, to leave the dead to their peace,
not to look behind them, but before
them into the distance, the roads of
the world. They are theirs. The
prophet and the people engage in
passionate dialogue:
"Will they ever see Jerusalem
again."
"Who believes always sees Jerusa-
lem"
"Who will rebuild it,"
1.-THE ardor of desire, the night of
prison and the suffering which teach
es."
"And will it be lasting?"
"Yes, stones may crumble, but
what the soul builds in suffering lasts
in eternity"
The trumpet sounds for the second
time. The people are now burning
with Impotence to leave. The i'm
mense procession forms itself in
silence. At the head the king, car
ried in litter. Then the tribes.
They sing as they march with the
solemn joy of sacrifice. They neither
hurry nor lag. 1t is an infnity that
marches. The Chaldeans see them
pass in surprise. The strange people,
whom nobody understands in it's de-
jections and it's hopes.
Chorus of Jews: "We walk across
the people, we walk through the ages
by the endless roads of suffering. We
are eternally vanquished. But cities
fall, people disappear, oppressors fall
in disgrace. We walk through eter-
nifty towards our country, our God. -
Chaldeans: "Their God? Have we
not conquered it," =.
One cannot conquer the Invisible.
One can kill man, but not the God
within them. One can do violence to
people, but never to it's spirit"
The trumpet sounds, for the third
time. The brilliant sun Eliminates
the procession of the people of God,
beginning their march through the
centuries"
Thus an artist with a big heart
demonstrates the supreme liberty of
the spirit. Others attack from the
front the follies and crimes of today;
in the struggle with the force that
murders them their sharp word of re-
volt is stained by the obstacles en-
countered and tries to break them.
Here, the pacifed soul sees passing
before it the tragic professional of the
present; and it is not irritated nor
tormented, for it dominates the Ell

a salary of $1,000 per year and sup
plies for his house He said this con
tract was made at the capitol but be
did not know if it was put into writ
ing.
lie said at that time the salary was
not fixed by law. but it was so fixet
later, and that afterwards it was raised
bv law to $4,000 per year because he
was doing about three mems work in
looking after the prison, the road
camps and other activities He volun-
teered the information that the super
intendents of all other state institu
tions were furnished their homes
where. whereas he had furnished his
own residence. Upon motion of Mr.

He said he did not know if similar
contract had been made with him by

He said he did not get all his residence

that he gave his family 500 month

State Changes Course
The state then temporarily left that
cause of action and took, up the first

which the state seeks to recover from
Conley the money paid to him for milk
and dairy products sold to the state in
the sum of $4,000 or the amount Of
the profit he enjoyed upon these sales.
He said the theory was that Conley
had converted or had misappropriated

as to the sale to the state Of the dairy
products, it was an illegal sale under

witness for the state, said he haG

Former Convicts Testify
Much testimony was adduced dur
ing the day relative to the consump
ton by live stock belonging to Con
ley of products from the several state
operated ranches, which testimony was
given by former ranch foremen and
former convlcts who had been cngag
ed upon ranch work.
When the hearing was resumed
Monday forenoon after recess of
two days. Attorney General Rankin
informed the court that f. T. Stewart.
state accountant. had been suddenly
taken i'll and this fact had upset the
plans of the state so that it might be
necessary to take up another issue of
action. He thereupon recalled Mr..
Conley and questioned him concern
ing certain items of goods which were
claimed to have been furnished him at
his residence, including case of
mushrooms billed at $1O6, two cases
of Holsters billed at $7S and case of
gunpowder tea. ...
Mr.. Conley said that he knew moth
ing about these items: that he could
not keep in mind such matters. as they
were buying a lot of supplies for the
prison. sometimes as much as $4,000
in q month.
On cross-examination by the de-
fense he said he probably had not
spent more than an hour month
around the prison store, that it was
looked after by the storekeeper. the
bookkeeper yand the state accountant
who came there two or three times
year.
Slips Designate Destination
He said the requisition slips to
which he had testified Friday would
indicate by the signatures of the re-
cipints of the goods, at what place the
goods were delivered. whether at the
residence. the guards kitchen or the
prison kitchen. Several of these
slips, he said, had been signed by con
