trust in arms gave way to a pas
sionate belief that soon Yahveh
would vindicate himself as ruler not
Of tribe only, but of the world.
1t was now the priests collected
the hymns sung in the Temple and
made up that book of Psalms which
marks the highest reach to which
lyric pSetry has ever risen.
It was now (ca. 440 B. CO. that
the priest Ezra put the Torah or
Pentateuch into its present form and
made it staff of strength for his
suffering people.
Perhaps, if they were faithful to
the law, Yahveh would send a
Saviour, a Messiah, who would lead
them out Of misery into happiness
and peace.
But Yahveh did not appear; in his
stead came Alexander, further
scourge of q bitter god; and the
genial protectorate of Persia passed
into the cruel rule Of the Mace
DOMAIN Greeks.
Alexander was generous enough;
but when he died he left his en-
pire ito the strongest who had
had no Aristotles to refine them. In
S19 B. c. Antiochus entered Jerusa-
lem to collect human material for
a colony at Alexandria.
Unable to understand the resist
ance of the Jews, he descended to
the most brutal revenge, and set
about to destroy their religion as
well as their remaining state.
Thousands of inhabitants we're
killed, thousands were sold into
slavery; many thousands more fled,
so that there came time when
Jerusalem contained hardly sim
gle Hebrew. Circumcision and other
Jewish rites were prohibited; no re-
ligious observance of the Sabbath
was allowed; and all copies Of the
Torah that the government coulc
find were destroyed.
Horrible things, no doubt exag-
gerated, were told. Two mothers
we're brought before the judges
charged with having circumcised
their children.
They were hung up by their
breasts and then flung from the city
wall. Some people who had taken
refuge in a cave, to keep the Sab

Wv ing itself with division, great
empires were growing about her to
the east. In 1872 B. c.. the Assyr-
i!hs took Samarta, capital of the
northern Hebrew Kingdom; and a
few years later, led by Sennacherib,
they laid siege to Jerusalem.
And while the despairing Jews
felt the anguish of starvation, and
aske dthemselves why their god had
abandoned them, a greater prophet
rose among them than ever before,
and dareed to tell them that the
army of Assyria was but rod and
q scourge in Yahveh's hand to bring
his people back to justice and social
peace.
1t is unnecessary to meet war
with war, said Isaiah to the in
credulous Jews; war is worse evil
than any that it can remedy; meet
it with Righteousness, and God will
show a just nation the way out of
might into right, out of empire into

stance, just few days ago, Mr.. Ed
ward r. Hobbs, popular Conductor
on the Union Traction Interurban
car, running from Peru to Indian
apolis, and whose home is at 266
East Main St., Peru, Ind, made the
following statement about Konjola:
Regardless of how much I praised
Konjola I could not begin to tell the
actual good that it has done for
me-" said Mr.. Hobbs. IT think it is
the greatest medicine that has ever
been given to humanity and if peo-
pie only knew what it has done for
me they would certainly give it a
trial. I would not take any price
for the health which have gained.
The doctors did all they could for
me and I tried all kinds Of med
icineS but none of them ever reached
my case. I became thoroughly dis
gusted and did not know what was
going to happen to me next. On
one of my runs to Indianapolis /

is the reason I am voluntarily in

doing may be able to help others
who are suffering.

was caused by my liver. There was
feeling in my stomach like some
thing grabbing and knawing. After
what little food ate went to my
stomach it would seem like a hard
rock had formed in the pit of my
stomach and would then form gas
and cause considerable bloating and
soreness. I had constant head

pestilence swept away the army of
Senhacherib COL B. O. and Jeru-
salem was saved.

1t was in these awful days that
jeremiah poured forth his wrath
upon the leaders of his people, de-
nouncing their foolish reliance up
on force, and attributing the mis-
fortunes of the Jews to the ex-
ploitation and greed which belied
in practice their religion Of
benevolence and justice.
His country exiled him and he
ended his days in misery and bitter
ness in Egypt, but he had prepared
the way for a prophet greater than
himself, that anonymous genius who
in the later chapters (xl.-lv) Of the
Book of Isaiah explained to the
Jews the narrowness of their tribal
deity and lifted them for the first
| time to the vision of God as the
spirit of life not of one people mere
ly, but Of all things.

God, thou shalt not have other gods

gods, there was only one:-"I am

a peak in literature:--
Behold the Lord God, who hath
measured the waters in the hol-
low of His hand, and melted out
heaven with the span, and COM
pretended the dust of the earth
in a measure, and weighed the
mountains in scales and the hills
in q balance. -. Behold the
nations are as a drop of bucket;
behold He taketh up the isles as
very little thing. 1t is He that

Greeley Denies Implication

In letter made public yesterday. Col.
Greeley told the association he could
not accept the statements as an &C.
curate portrayal of the situation, and
he believed they would lead to a mis-.
conception by the public.
The association, referring in a
statement to Greeley's letter. said the
lumber industry was in substantial
agreement with his views and that
both the Forest Service and the forest
owners were agreed that systematic
forestation was essential to the main
tenance OF an abundant supply Of for
est products.
"The United States certainly will
have to face period of diminished
domestic supply of timebr. at least of
grade and quality equal to that abun-
dainty supplied in the past" said

shortage or its consequences will
prove I do not pretend to forecast.
