history, breaking down in the CHI
max at the very gates of Rome
when FoIne had seemingly not the
slightest possible chance Of escape.
Probably it is in the light of such
amazing deliverances as this, fire.
quent in the records of profane his
tory, that he must interpret the ex-
periences of Israel.
In the narrow reference to par
ticular events the hand of Provi-
dence does not always appear, but
in the steady march of nations and
in the development through time we
may see more clearly the workings
Of Providence and we discover the
power of the true saint and states
man as distinguished from the
seeming triumph of hypocritical
leaders and self-seeking politicians.
Modern Application -
The teachings of lesson like this
are somewhat hard to develop ex-
cept in. this general way and with
application to modern problems. 1t
is almost impossible TO reproduce in
our own minds the exact historical
situation, but it is not difficult to
sense the religious realities and the
principles of wise policy and good
government as they apply to the in
ternal foundations of the nation and
to dealings with others.
In America at the present hour
no problem is more acute than that
Of our relationship to other nations
and peoples. What is our attitude
and our policy going to be? In one
sense it might well be that of the
avoidance Of entangling alliances.
We ought to be doing all in our
power, not only for the preservation
OF world peace and for the attaining
of conditions that would assure
world peace for the future, but also
in every possible way for the making
of goodness and righteousness eff
fective against evil, error, and in
justice among men.
To do this is no simple matter.
1t seems the publication of our own
hearts and the clearing of our own
vision. 1t means conservation to
high ideals of sort that we have
as yet only in minor way achieved.
1t is, however, the goal of all sound
government as it is the aspiration
Of Christian purpose and the fulfill
ment Of the prophetic spirit.

TINE newly organized young peo-
i pies group of the First Preshy-
terrain Church, who have chosen as
their name the Iwidobe Club, have
undertaken for their first project
the presentation of a pageant, en-
titled. 1.-THE Light Of the World" to
be given in the auditorium of the
church on Sunday evening, Dec. 18,
at the church service hour. Mem
bers of the club. are being supported
by a large cast drawn from variuos
other organizations ofNthe church.
New and colorful costumes will aid
in producing an oriental atmosphere.
Appropriate settings will carry the
audience back thousands of years
to the times Of Old Testament pro-
phecies. No admission will be
charged.
THE Light of the World" was first
presented in Toxic, Japan, Oct. 8.
1920, in the Imperial Theater, under
the direction of its author, H. Au-
justine Smith, of Boston University.
The pageant deals, with the spread
of Christianity from the time of
Isaiah'S prophecy to the mission
fields of today.

EultOr OF Inc OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
THIS lesson can not be adequate
i ly understood unless one has
an appreciation of the position Of
Israel among the nations in an
cient times. This position has
been compared to that of such
countries as Belgium in modern
Europe-the position OF a buffer
state between great rival and con-
tending powers. Palestine, in its
very situation, was naturally the
battle ground between warning ent-
pires, and much of the history Of
Israel must be read in the light of
these rivalries.
What was the wise and sound
policy for Israel in this situation?
Isaiah believed that it was the policy
of neutrality and the avoidance Of
entangling alliances with other ma
tons.
If Israel made alliance with Egypt,
she incurred the vengeance of Baby
lon.
II she made alliance with Baby
Ion, she incurred the vengeance of
Egypt.
Wisdom as well as sound policy,
inclined Israel to take the high
minded and noble position of at
tending to her own affairs and de-
veloping sound ideals of government
within her borders. ut was,.>of
course, very difficult to do this, for
even high-minded people are not
always let alone in the managing
of their own affairs.
Hezekiah High Minded
Hezekiah, king Of Judah, was a
high-minded and able ruler. In the
early part of his reign he was not
disposed to listen to the counsel OF
Isaiah. and he allowed himself to
become involved in a hostile atti-
tude toward Assyria.
Later, however, he inclined to lis
ten to the advice of Isaiah, and
when he and his advisers had got
ten in difficulties, Hezekiah sent to
Isaiah.
ISaiah'S message was reassuring,
that God is the true master of the
fate of men and nations, and that
strength and power, arrogant in
blasphemy, have in them the seeds
of weakness despite all appearance
of force. Isaiah assures Hezekiah
that Sennacherib will hear discon-
certing tidings and will return to
his own land, there to perish by the
sword. j.
Had Isaiah some direct premo-
milton of this through the revela-
tion, of a dream or otherwise, or was
he making general prediction con-
corning the fall of a tyrant2
We do not know, but it would be
interesting to discover the instances
in History where great military
projects have failed just when they
seemed on the point of achieving the
most complete success and the vir-
tual humiliation Of opposing forces.
Think, for instance, of the career
OF Hannibal. amazing in its genius
and in its successive stages of ac-
complishment, yet for some mys-
ferrous reason, never explained in

dence of loyalty, but he has always kept
in front of him the desire for nat
ional unity. at is my fondest hope"
he said in reply to greetings from the
Chancellor, ito see our people united.
My life's work has always been de-
voted to the Fatherland, and shall
continue to serve this end 49, not for
honor or personal profit, not for any
party or group, but to serve, and -
to benefit all Germany"
There has been a tendency during
the late celebrations to indulge in
mere flattery, to drift into superla-
tives in dwelling upon the virtues of
this soldier-StateSman- man who
in war differed one of the greatest
armies in Europe and who in peace
seeks to make the new and better
order of things permanent. Yet it is
to be said of him that he combines
qualities which make him an ex-
emplary statesman-sinceri SIM
plicity, modesty and genuine desire
to serve his country in the truest
sense of the word.
If it is, as the Germans assert, his
straightforward character that draws
the plaudits of men, then few will de-
ny that Germany is headed Alright.
1t is in statesmen of this caliber that
the hope of Germany lies.

PAINTING THE HOUSE

The preservation, appearance, and
economy of the home, including out
buildings and barns, are materially
increased by one or two coats of paint.
There is a demand all over the
country for men. who know how to
select and apply paint.
To meet these requirements, Dun
woody Institute during the winter
months offers special short, practical
courses in painting, paperhanging,
and other lines.
This is only a part of the effort
put forth by Dunwoody institute of
Minneapolis to make the institution
of real value to people of the state.
When Mr. and Mrs. William Hood
Dunwoody left this six million dollar
training school as gift to the resi-
dents of the state, they expressly
requested that the school make itself
of real value, and along this line.
courses during the winter months are
available for those wishing training
in industrial and mechanical lines.

Here is something that shows what
money out working will do. A Mich
igan man put dollar in the bank
recently with instructions that it be
allowed to draw interest for 500 years.
The fund in the year 2427, is to be
divided among his heirs. 1t will
amount to $2,90O,OOO. BY that time
the heirs will probably spend most
of it in the courts, finding out who's
who. But it's fascinating idea, and
that is about all that can be said for
it. If it wasn't for the thrifty people
the many generations in between
in the 500 year period-who borrow
and pay interest, the 81 would not
have another cent of value in 2427.
The man had better try to do some
good with his dollar today instead of
leaving it for others to fight about
500 years hence.

WHY NOT A PROGRESSIVE?

Arthur Brisbane writes: Friends
of Senator Borah say he will not
enter the 1923 presidential race, even
if Senator Norris refuses to be the
Progressive candidate. There is no
better American than Senator Borah,
who takes the American view, not al
ways the international bankers view,
of this country's relation to foreign
powers. But this is no time for a
Progressive candidate. It's no COM
pliment to human nature to say it.,
but prosperity is more interesting to
the average than progressiveness."
That same argument about pros
perity is more interesting to the aver
age than progressiveness" may be
used in each national campaign. One
may be privileged to wonder why
conservatism or reaction should
bring more prosperity than progress
siveness. Certainly it shouldn't in
the long run and especially not to the
many. A president from the North
west would not be out of place. The
East has had them long enough.
