Northern Ireland but not the Irish
Free State.
In North America, Mexico takes
third rank in number of telephones,
and Is followed by Cuba. Taking into
account the other countries of Central
America and the West Indies, North
America has 60.69 per cent Of the
worlds telephones.
In recent years there has been q
great increase, not alone in the United
States, but throughout the world, in
dial telephones. Slightly more than
SO per cent Of all the dial telephones
now in use are located in the United
States, and the number of such in
struments throughout the world totals
12,5O0,OOO.
Telephone development, however, is
a question not merely of the actual
number of telephones in use, but also
Of the number in proportion to pepu-
lation. On this basis, averaging tele-
phones per 100 of the worlds popula-
ton, the United States takes first
place, with Canada second, Denmark
third, New Zealand fourth, Sweden
fifth, Switzerland sixth, Australia
seventh, and Norway, eighth.

THE MARYLAND BIBLE SOCIETYS CORNER
'The Word of Our God Shall Stand Forever"

Nahum's prophecy was remarkably
fulfilled. In GOT B. c. the Modes and
Babylonians destroyed Nineveh; they
were aided by a sudden rise of the
Tigris, which carried away a great
part of the wall; the destruction was
complete; the location was forgot
ten. When Alexander fought the bat
tie of Arbela, near the site of Nineveh,
no one knew of it's existence.
In 1920 an Englishman named Rich
visiting in the region of Mosul, on the
Tigris, $50 miles north of the site of
ancient Babylon, noticed among other
mounds one called "Yunas," a native
word for Jonah" He instantly con-
nected the name Jonah with Nine
veh, and about 25 years later archa-
biologists made excavations among
these mounds which brought to light
the vast ruins of the ancient Assyrian
civilization; all through the chance
association of the name of Jonah with
Nineveh.
This prophecy is not all condemna-
ton of the wicked and warnings of
impending destruction of Gods enc
mics. There is a beautiful promise
Of deliverance based upon obedience
and trust, as Gods deliverances al
ways are: "Behold upon the noun
tains the feet of him that bringeth
good tidings, that publisheth peace!
o, Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, per-
form thy vows; for the wicked shall
no more pass through thee; he is ut
terly cut off," Yet the fall of Min
even was not the end of Judah's serv-
itude; it was not the immediate pre-
cursor of her complete restoration,
though Nahum seems to have expected
it would be. 1t was indeed one step in
the evolution of Gods purposes for
His people; but the salvation of Zion
was not to be yet. Judah's impenitence
and faithlessness postponed Gods pur-
pose,

better than the people who compose
it. No constitution written or unwrit-
ten can save a people who have be-
come indolent, thriftless or dishonest,
who have lost the ideals of the found
ers of the nation. Nor can a change
of fundamental government alter
such a people for the better. What we
need in the United States just now is
not new Constitution but rededi-
cation of our lives and our efforts to
the task of keeping America what it
has always been-the best place on
the globe in which to live and rear a
family, and to build nation of fam
lilies.

NAHUM

Nahum may we'll be described as a
declarer of the wrath of God. This
wrath is to be launched against MIN
evan, the capital of the Assyrian EN-
pire. This great city had ruled the
world for 800 years, destroyed Israel
and continually raided and threatened
Judah. But now her time was come.
Her destruction is predicted and is
graphically described. "God is jeal-
Gus, and the Lord revengeth, and is
furious; the Lord will take vengeance
on his adversaries, and he reserveth
wrath for His enemies" Nahum saw,
as DR.. A. S. Davidson has finely said,
that zone of those crises or turning
points in the history of the world was
at hand at which God Himself inter
poses, revealing Himself as all that
He is, and bringing to an end openly
all the work which in hidden ways
He has been performing from the be-
ginning"
The date of Nahum's prophecy is
generally accepted as $40 B. C. As
sur ani-pal had captured Thebes de-
spite her camels, the defense of the
sea, the strength of Ethiopia and of
Egypt, Put and Lydia. Shall MIN
eveh share any better? asks the
prophets.
Jehovah brooks no rival. He will
not condone iniquity If he seems at
times slack to interfere, it is the pa
thence of omnipotence, and neither
the helplessness of impotence nor the
apathy of Indifference. When once He
wills to act, none can resist His
power.
Nineveh falls unwept. Who will be-
moan her? She pitied none, and there
is none to pity her. Nay, all rejoice,
for all have been her victims. "All
that hear the report of thee clap their
hands over thee, for upon whom did
not thy wickedness pass continually ""

NATIONAL AFFAIRS
By FRANK P. LITSCHERT

September is a historic month in
many respects, not the least of which
is that it is the month in which the
Constitution of the United States was
completed by its authors. The date is
September seventeenth and this year
it marked the 147th anniversary of
the signing of the Constitution.
+ y +
When one has favorable things to
say these days of our Constitution, he
runs the risk of being called old-fash-
Toned, if nothing worse. 1t is now the
practice of certain educators and agi-
tators to make light of the Constitu-
ton, to refer to it as an outworn doc
ument, the work of unlettered pro-
vincials who just happened to frame
an agreement under which our fore
fathers were able to consolidate the
thirteen colonies. They like to tell
US that we would be much better off
were we to do away with this funda-
mental law which they infer, Cramps
the style" of the great reformers of
the present day, statesmen who could
make everybody prosperous and
happy without work, if only given
the chance.
The Constitution, however, needs
no defense among thinking people.
The results speak for themselves. Be-
fore it's adoption, while the new Am
erican nationals were working under
the Articles of Confederation, the
country went from bad to worse and
was facing dissolution so far as its
political fabric was concerned. There
/ was even talk of importing Euro
pean monarch to try to start the new
ship of state in the proper direction.
\ 4
But the new Constitution changed
all this. The colonies grew into one
nation, and colonists became Ameri-
cans. The credit of the new nation
grew at home and abroad and almost
Immediately the United States started
on its new path of progress. This
progress, with a few Interruptions,
has continued ever since. We are now
in the latest and severest of these in
terruptions. But the Constitution is
not to blame of this one, any more
than it has been the author of those in
the past. By it's fine system of checks
and balances it enabled the American
people to develop the most prosperous
nation of the world, to do it in a space
of time the brevity of which amazed
the entire world; to accomplish all
this and still preserve the freedom Of
the individual to work out his own
destiny according to his merits.
The Interruptions to our progress
have come not because of our Consti-
tutional government, but through the
errors of our people and their haste
to become rich. In fact so long as
we have adhered closely to the pro-
visions of our Constitution and the
teachings thereof we have prospered.
Our sins have been chiefly those of
straying away from sound and con-
sentative principles of economics and
government.
After all, a government can be no

Memorial Day

On Nav Both it is the custom throughout most OF
the United States to observe the day memorial to
the heroes of our nation who caves their lives for It's
defense In many states this some nearby date Is
observed as memorial to the soldiers Of the Army OF
the Confederacy Who no less than those Others made
the supreme sacrifice for the in which they be-
heyed.
Il is meet and proper that these gallant dead
whether they wore khaki or blue or gray, should be
held forever in fond remembrance. For they were
brave men who did not hesitate to risk their lives that
their beloved homeland might live
But it is also meet and proper, it seems to us, to-
consider whether the youth of today are as ready as
these sacred dead were to fight and to de, II neces
say for their principles We seem to slacken-
inc among the youth Of land Of the fervent pat
liotistn which was Americas chiefest glory in the
days when our nation was younger. we hear young
men say that they would risk their lives for their
country as their fathers did We hayenoted the polls
Of students in our great universities IN which an ap
paEling number have declared that they would not
take up arms in defense of America.
If such feeling is general among the youth of
our land then it is far more serious matter than
mere unemployment or financial distress. Ii through
some failure on the part OF our institutions, our
schools our churches home training we rails
ing generation which feels such devotion to the
principles Of liberty and independence as once made
every young American eager to go to war in their de-
fense then our nation is in a sorry case.
We do not believe that such spirit prevails gen
orally We do not believe that the young Of AM
erica have become so infected with the germ of in
ternationalism that they no longer look upon their
own country the greatest the most glorious, the
finest place in the whole world.
Many will be the prayers offered on Memorial
Day at the graves of those who died honoraby ON the
field of battle Let be the fervent prayer OF every
true American on that day that the honor which finds
expression in unselfsh selfsacrifce for country and
for principle may not perish from those who to
take OUR places.
