nistic attitude to Gods will led them
into life of disobedience, that cul-
minated in their disloyalty, despising
GODS commands and complete COM
pllance with heather rituals. =
God was very angry with Israel and
captivity Of the ten tribes confirmed
the words Of the prophet. They lack
ed the marked reverence for Mosaic
institutions which characterized
judah and has preserved the integri-
ty or the Jews as distinct race
among all nations and throughout
all the centuries. until finally God.
through Sargon, brought upon Israel
the fruit of their sinful practices.
With the downfall of Samarta the
kingdom Of the ten tribes perished
from the earth, although many have
held that they have been preserved
among other nations. some even in
sisting that the English speaking ma
tions are descendants OF the lost
tribes.
History repeats itself. Israel in the
days of her prosperity and power re-
fused to walk in the way of the. Lord.

nation that Will not serve God shall
perish. We do not live by bread
alone. Commerce and culture VIII

His guidance in solving the problems
that confront US in the present crises
of our nations history. II We refuse
to be loyal to Him and do no. give to
His will pre-eminence in our social.
economic and political life. then God
will treat us as He treated Israel.
If America in her desire for pleasure
and maddening rush for gold forgets
God. we too will perish. The future
Of our country and that OF every other
nation depends upon our relation to
Him. The terrible punishments
which have overcome men and ma
tons are the natural result of their
sin. The words of the prophets to
Israel ought to serve as a warning to
the citizens of America. We must
be true to our Lord or 1t will be said
