judah Taken Captive, ii Kings
25:1-12, for Sunday, Nov. 8:
Zedekiah was a vassal king to
Nebuchadnezzar; he not only fol-
lowed in the footsteps Of former
kings in disobeying God, but form
ed alliances with nations at enmity
with NebuchadnezZar, and for this
reason Judah was taken captive.
V. L. ''And it came to pass that
NebuchadnezZar, king of Babylon,
came, he and all his hosts against
Jerusalem and pitched against it.
Foolishly Judah rebelled against
Babylon. The prophet jeremiah
warned against it, but Zedekiah
thought he could safely sin. Too
late he discovered his mistake.
v. 2. ''And the city was besieged
unto the eleventh year of king Zede-
kiah.'' Assaults are bitter and de-
termined, as seen in an attacking
army; so it is that eventually sin
besieges the disloyal and persists
until there is a final overthrow.
v. 8. ''And on the ninth day Of
the fourth month the famine pre-
vailed in the city, and there was no
bread for the people of the land" :"
Judah was eating bread from it's
own harvest and there was no nour-
ishment in it. The apples of Sodom
are not luscious. The prodigal has
only husks for his daily food.
V. 4. "And the city was broken
up, and all the men of war fed by
night by the way of the gate be-
tween two walls, which is by the
kings garden; and the king went
the way toward the plain The
devotees of sin become it's victims.

UnlOnville
Tax PAYERS should Decide

A number of persons from this
section attended a meeting at the
Neelyville grange hall last Friday
night, where general discussion
of the proposed bond issue in
Meigsville-Morgan, for the purpose
of building new school building
near Neelyville, was supposed to
take place. A large crowd was in
attendance, but the discussion was
not as general as we had hoped for.
But very few seemed willing to OPP
emily express themselves either for
or against the proposition. Wheth-
er it was lack of interest or 9TH
er reasons, we are not able to say,
but it still looks to us like case
of robbing Peter to pay Paul. Aud

Judah Taken Cantiye

Judah Taken Captive, II Kings
25:1-12, for Sunday, Nov. g:
How can our national welfare
and safety best be promoted?
What reasons are there for
thinking that the same forces oper-
ate today in the rise and fall of ma
tions, as seen in this lesson?
What may be said to be some of
Gods agencies for punishment to-
day?
What was the real reason for
Judah's downfall? What is the rea-
son for the downfall of any nation?
What progress are we making in
getting rid Of war?
Glorious says: "There is civic up
lift in right living. We cannot serve
our country better than by being in
dividually righteous A white life
is even more patriotic than sac
rificial death. No nation can be
loftier than it's standard of moral
ity. Nor will any nation fall low
er than the level of it's virtues
Lesson prayer: "We would be
true to thee, O God, and express
ourselves in terms of righteous liv-
ing, to the end that we shall make
our contribution to a righteous ma
tion.''

Their strongest wall of defense
crumbles. Their mightiest men of
war turn towards. Sinners stink
away under the scourge of their sin.
V. 5. "And the army of the
and overlook him in the plains of
Jericho; and all his army were
scattered from him. Zedekiah
thought himself safe among the
farm houses Of Jericho, but not so.
He was captured unawares. He that
pursues sin will be pursued and
overtaken by sin.
VS.. 6, z. $50 they took the king,
and brought him up to the king of
Babylon to Riblah; and they gave
judgment upon him. And they
slew the sons of Zedekiah before
his eyes and put out the eyes Of
Zedekiah, and bound him with fet-
ters of brass and carried him to
Babylon" Pitiful was the bad
kings last look! How cruel is sin!
1t robs man of his truest and best.
1t stabs his loved ones. 1t leaves
him solitary and alone. Sin blinds
the sinner. Sin shackles with a
CALLING and repressing chain.
V. 8, 8. "And he (Nebuzaradan)
burnt the house of the Lord, and
the kings house, and all the houses
Of Jerusalem and every great man s
house burnt he with fire." Sin has
disastrous effect upon the sacred
things of God, 50 that the very tenn
pie of God was destroyed; the dis
regard of the Sabbath today, Gods
holy day, is having disastrous eff
feet upon Gods appointed places of
worship. Sin works havoc.
V. 10. "And all the armies of
the Chaldees, that were with the
captain of the guard, brake down
the walls Of Jerusalem round
about" Sin obliterates strong
holds of character; the evil forces
attack from the outside; the forms
of iniquity surround the good before
they yield.
V. IL. "Now the rest of the peo-
pie that were left in the city, and
the fugitives that fell away to the
king of Babylon, with the remnant
of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan
the captain of the guard carry
away" Sin enslaves. For every

In Soviet Russia, rest days come
every sixth day, following five days
of work. There are no weeks, no
names for the days, just months
and days of the month, indicated by
number only.
Catholics have special privileges
in Soviet Russia now. They have
new church buildings, and their or
CARNATIONS are permitted some ac-
tivity.
Jewish interests are taking steps
to save the Biblical Ark of the Gov
enant, reported to be in Ethiopia.
1t is supposed to rest at Aksum, an
ancient city founded thousands of
years ago. Legends said it was
brought there by the son of King
Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.
Hebrew scholars claim the Ark to
be of inestimable value and one of
the greatest historic relics of all
times. The queen of Sheba it is
claimed had it enshrined in one of
the most magnificent cupolas ever
constructed. The attendance cere-
mony was marked by two weeks of
feasting, during which Solomon
| slaughtered $4,000 cattle and 120,-
600 sheep.

HARLINGEN, Feb. 2O.-Mass par
ticipation In athletics Is being
brought about in the Harrington
schools for the first time under the
direction OF G. M. Dutch Flory,
who has succeeded in getting out
the unprecedented number Of 100
boys for field and track.
The former Hondo high school
coach who recently took over the
duties Of athletic director for the
Harlingen schools following resig-
nation OF j. "A. Dutch Rektorik TO
go to Corpus Christi. is trying 10
get every boy in the Harrington
schools TO come out for some sport
and has met with an encouraging
response.
OF course, many Of the lads will
never take part In an official con-
test but Flory said the idea Is TO
have them develop physically. This
physical development helps them in
other sports and he Is particularly
insistent that candidates for the
football team come out for field and
