OBADIAH

ODAO1An
Obadiah's prophecy is the shortest
of all the Prophetic books, and except
ing the Third Epistle of John, the
shortest book in the Bible. Brief as
it is, however, it proclaims message
of profound significance born of a
great faith in the midst of great trib-
ulation. That message reaches its
climax in the closing words of the
book: "The kingdom shall be the
Lords"
The nations are summoned by Je-
hovah's messengers to make war upon
Edom. He was determined to humble
Edom's pride; Edom's arrogant con-
fidence in the impregnability of his
rock fortress will be undeceived. Edom
will be plundered by enemies and de-
serted by allies. His wise counsel
lors will become fools, his heroes cow
ards; he is doomed to utter destruc-
ton. ''',
In verses 1914 the reason for
Edom's overthrow is stated. When
Jerusalem was taken and sacked by
foreign enemies, Edom was one of
them, rejoicing maliciously at Judah's
disaster, sharing the plumber, and
cutting off the fugitives from escape.
Of the prophet himself nothing is
L i
from his prophecy is that he was a
native of Judah. Just when his proph-
ecy took place is also doubtful; some
scholars placing him as early as the
Ninth Century before Christ; others
much later still.
How did the fulfillment of Obadi-
abs prophecies really come? When
we claim fulfllment for the prophe-

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

cies of Obadiah, we do not mean that
course of history, either for Edom
or Israel, correspondent step by step
with his anticipations. He combines
into one picture process which was
to be the work of ages.
If Obadiah prophecied in the reign
of Jehoram no long interval elapsed
before Edom was chastised and par
tial fulfillment obtained. Amaziah
captured Sela, the rock-ribbed for
tress which the Edomites boosted was
impregnable, and inflicted a terrible
vengeance upon them. But they were
not completely crushed. They made
raids upon Judah in the reign of
Ahaz, and at the destruction of Jeru-
salem they filled up the measure of
their iniquity by conduct which
aroused feelings of the most bitter
indignation. The Maccabees waged
successful war against them. Judas
Maccabeus defeated them at Arbat-
tine, recovered the south country and
recaptured Hebron. The Edomites ap-
pear for the last time during the
great struggle of the Jews with Rome.
After the destruction of Jerusalem by
Titus their name disappears from his
tory.
So the principles which find express
sion in this prophecy in a limited
and relative form have been verified
by the course of history, and we await
with confidence that complete fulfill
ment of them to which the New Tes-
lament still points, when the king
doms of this world shall become the
kingdoms of our God and His an
nointed.

HAM AND EGGS FOR ALL


called crest of the world" the prodi-
gious effort the United States is max
ing to rout the depression, is still a
hazy picture. That is not surprising,
for news of the National Recovery Act
must be bottle-necked through cable
and radio, telescoped by pressure of
more localized news, and, in many
cases, blurred by translation.
1t is essential, therefore, that he
who would understand must hold fast
to the fundamentals of the underlying
philosophy. They are quite simple.
Two crisp sentences by Administrator
johnson sum them up in way that
he who reads as he runs may under
stand.
1.-The very rich," he said, "do not
buy $40 worth of ham and eggs for
breakfast. If we want to keep this
country going we have to find way
to let everybody buy half dollars
worth of ham and eggs"
Economists and social workers, de-
crying concentration of wealth in the
hands of the few, are no longer voices
in the wilderness. The NRA is, in
effect, notice to the world that the
American business man is awakening
to the logical implications of a civil
cation built around the machine. He
reasons something like this:
Twentieth century economics are
predicated on science. Science means
machines. Machines mean mass pro-
duction. Mass production requires
mass consumption. But mass con-
sumption is impossible unless the
masses have money. If large groups
are unemployed, if wages are paid
which do not permit families to buy
ham and eggs and clothes and shelter,
business will wane. Therefore, means
must be devised to employ men and
put in their pockets the wherewithal
to buy.
IlC NdllOIdl hCSONSLy <1CL 10, VI
course, the answer of the moment to
the challenge of this logic. 1t simply
seeks planned readjustment of eco
nomic processes, whereby, to quote
Administrator johnson again, all the
employers in the United States edo
about the same thing at about the
same time"-cut hours to employ
more men and pay living wage. 1t
is corollary of that proposition that
price-cutting and bribery and child
labor must be dropped overheard
along with the other pirates that have
preyed on legitimate commerce. In
the past we have called these abuses
.unethical; in the future we shall more
frequently use the. word uneconomic.
tits a. vast and unique experiment
upon which the United States is
launched. Unlike many records in the
pages of social history, this one is not
a coercive edict from an oligarchic
minority; rather it issues from and
fwilI be worked out by, the people
themselves. If they are courageous, in
dustrious, and, when necessary, self
sacrificing, it will not fail. On the
other hand, the past four miserable
years and a universal, breakdown of
commercial intercourse suggests what
is in store if it does not succeed.

Communists Endorse
U.S.S.R. Recognition
Conference Tonight

NEW YORK.-CIarence Hathaway,
New York District Organizer of the
Communist Party, yesterday issued
an appeal to all New York workers to
support the campaign for recognition,
and for support and defense of the
Soviet Union, now being conducted
by the Friends Of the Soviet Union,
saying:
The Communist Party endorses
the nationwide campaign of the F,
S. U. TO mobilize mass pressure on
the Wall Street Roosevelt govern
ment TO compel recognition of the
first Workers Republic. Representa-
tives OF every labor and fraternal or
ganization should attend the mass
conference being held tonight at the
Manhattan Lyceum, 66 East Fourth
Street. New York at pm, to broad
en- and intensity the recognition cam
paign. Every workers organization
should pass the RECOGNITION resolution
and mobilize its membership to col
1ect a minimum of one million s.g
natures to the recognition petition.
"The sharp contrast between the
spectacular success achieved by the
Soviet workers and peasants in laying
the firm foundations of socialism III
the past four years, and the stagna-
ton and decline in the capitalist
world. has focused the att"~'i~-' .

eminent has abolished unemploy-
ment during a period when in capi-
talist countries the number OF I'M
employed has grown to over 100000
The Soviet workers and farmers are
assured of economic security, of social
insurance against sickness, old age,
accident. disability, etc, while the
United States Government stubborn
ly refuses to grant the demand OF the
masses for unemployment insurance.
Since the capitalist crisis, wages have
been slashed in the United States by
over so per cent, as contrasted with
an average increase in wages of the
Soviet workers Of 81 per cent. Indus
trial production in the U. S. S. r.. has
more than doubled since 1923, while
production in the United States has
declined over one-half.
I'm view of the impending imper-
ialist var and the growing danger OF
an attack upon the Soviet Union be-
cause of the campaign of ISLANDERS
against the Soviet Government, the
role of the T. S, U. becomes OF de-
c'siye Importance. 1t is the duty OF
all workers, of all intellectuals and
professional people who have an hon.
est sympathy with the Soviet Union
and of all revolutionary organizations
to give unqualified support to the F.
S. u. in its recognition campaign, in
its exposure of anti=Soviet propa gam
dists and its mobilization of all
friends of the First Workers Repub-

be a granite wall of defense for the
land in which the workers and peas
ants rule and where the foundations

been built"
