] A l r

After Tola's peaceful reign, if the
government by judges may be so des-
ignated, came a similar benefcent
ruler named Jair, Gileadite, who
judged Israel twenty and two years.
The name of this judge is suggestive
of his program for the development
of his people, for it signifies: 'He en-
Eighteenth" His policies were indeed
those of an enlightened and benevo-
lent despot, who for more than two
decades gently guided the growing
nation in the peaceful pursuits Of ag-
riculture, grazing and the building
of towns or cities amidst fruitful
vineyards and pleasant groves.
Families, at least as far as con-
Germs the judgeship, seem now to be
on the decrease, for Jair had but 80
sons. This would seem a very stable
family in our day, when the average
family consists of dog, parrot, a
cat, or a small bowl Of goldfish. In
deed the last are growing in popular
ity, as they are readily house-broken,
do not bark or prowl at night and
may be left without attention for sew
eral days without inconvenience to
themselves or conscientious scruples
on the part of foster parents.
1t would be interesting to know the
names of these young men, all of
whom were brought up in an atmos-
phere of wealth and culture for that
day.
Jair seems to have enjoyed an unu-
sual measure of prosperity, and was
doubtless reckoned by his subjects not
only as their chief in all matters
where leadership and good judgment
were demanded, but also as a social
and economic prototype.
There was a time in our own coun-
try when to own saddle horse or a
coach and pair marked the owner as a

person of distinction, almost indeed
as member of the local 400, to say
the least. 1t was like belonging to
the Junior League, or having ones
name in the Blue Book to be seen rid
ing on an ass.
By this same token the sons of Jair
were Junior Leaguers, as they all rode
upon thirty ass colts, which in that
age was an indication of standing in
the community. These young men had
assigned to them thirty cities or
towns, wherein their homes were es-
tablished and from which they col
lected taxes or rents for their per-
sonal maintenance. This collection of
towns was called Haroth-Jair. They
were unwalled and situated in the de-
batable land where Gilead and Ba-
shan insensibly merge into each other.
The first Jair, who may have been a
progenitor of the Judge of Israel, cap
tured these nomad encampments when
he overthrow Og, King of Bashan.
They are often referred to as being
either in Gilead or Bashan, according
to the point of view of the narrator.
Here, however, the thirty sons of Jair
lived in such luxury and surrounded
by such pomp and circumstance as
their age afforded, doubtless ending
their lives in peace and plenty, as did
their father. Jair, whose simple cpl
taph reads: "And Jair died, and was
buried in Canon"
About the sepulchre in Canon
when Israel gathered to perform the
last rites for their beloved Judge,
came from Gilead and Basham the
thirty sons of Jair, each riding upon
his sleek, we'll kept animal, their white
robes with richly embroidered tunics
and their graceful turbans cleaning
in the oriental sunshine as they came
through feldfs of golden wheat and
grey-leaved olive groves to place a
laurel wreath on the victor's grave,
and shed tears of sincere grief for one
who to them was far more than Judge
of Israel, a beloved and indulgent
parent. We see these brave young men
no more. Their story ends at the sep
ulchre Of Canon and new figures came
Immediately upon the stage of IsraePs
history; yet the general outline of the
drama remains the same, as we shall
see in the cameo of Jeththah, whose
story will come to US next week.

Woodland Owners Urged To Clear

Woodland Owners Urged To Clear
Land of Broken Limbs and Tops
Due to ravages of sleet and snow
storms during the last few weeks for
etsts in the State face danger of even
greater loss from fire if immediate
steps are not taken to clear the wood
land floor of debris, broken tops, limbs
and bent trees, according to W. W.
Simonds, forester for the University
of Maryland Extension Service.
According to Mr.. Simonds, the past
winter has been one of the most de-
structive to State woodlands in many
years.
Danger of fire will become great as
the woods dry out during the spring,
says Mr.. Simonds, and, with the guam
tity of broken timber there is on the
ground, there is danger that the fire
might get into the crowns of the
trees, which would be far more des-
tructive and difficult to control.

He urges all landowners to get
into their woods as soon as possible
and clear away this fallen timber so
that by the time it has dried out dan
ger from further loss through fire
will have been averted.

Pen Pictures of Patriarchs
T O l. A

Someone has said, BLESSED is that
nation whose annals are few!" In such
periods the people engage in peaceful
pursuits, tending their flocks, Guilt
waiting the land, keeping their vine
yards, undisturbed by the call to as
sembly and the march for conquest.
LA Glire," the "Will o'The Wisp,'
followed by Napoleon, Caesar and AL
exander, turns inevitably to dust and
ashes when seemingly just within the
grasp of it's devotees. Thomas Grey
was a prophet when, in the country
church-yard he was inspired to write:
''The boast of heraldry, the pomp of
power,
And ali that beauty, all that wealth
ere gave,
Await alike the inevitable hour:
The paths of glory lead but to the
the grave"
The way of war can only be path
of glory when God leads his hosts to
victory as He did under the command
of Joshua and Gideon: and the con-
f1ict must always be one in which
Right is arrayed against Wrong.
The twenty-three years of Tola's
leadership in Israel were years of
peace and prosperity. Yet the Scrip
ture record informs US that "after
Abimelech there arose lola to de-
! fend Israel" While the history Of his
government covers but fifteen words,
we are not to presume that he spent
his twenty-three years in idleness, for
the entire country was in state of
anarchy, the more alarming because
of the well-nigh utter destruction of
economic life incident to Abimelech's
campaign. City after city had been
destroyed. Liers-in-wait beset the
mountain roads, and they robbed all
that came along that way. All they
needed was machine guns and high
powered automobiles to qualify as real
American gangsters! Their technique
was about perfect. The Shechemites,
who sought to Withstand this lawless
band of hoodlums and cut-throats
were wiped out. Awaiting the time
when the men of Shechem went out
to work in the fields, these murderers
possessed themselves of the city gates
and then fell upon the defenseless
husbandmen and slew them. After
this he RACED the city, beating down
the walls and sowing the ground with
salt to make it a veritable desert
His last act was the burning of the
stronghold of Shechem with its de-
tenders, who were destroyed like rats
in trap.
Tamerlane could not have done this
dastardly work with more thorough
ness.
However, within the city of Thebez
was another tower which proved to be
his undoing. Here while conducting
the siege, woman fractured Abime-
lech's skull with fragment of mill
stone, hurled from the top of the
tower. Thus died Abimelech, the
scourge of Israel.
The task facing lola was similar
after the World War-fg,yrC
to that faced by the French after the
World War-reconstruction of cities
and of the whole economic system
How well lola accomplished this task
is illustrated in the story of his sue
cessor, Jair, whose picture we present
| herewith.
