Are Revivals "PracticaI?
Our lesson deals with that phase
of Hezekiah's reign wherein he
called the people back to a national
observance of their greatest historic
feast, the Passover. He did a thor
ough job of it, in contrast with the
occasional patronizing remarks con-
cerning religion from our modern
rulers. The latter are scarcely aware
of the deep-flowing tides of spiritual
concern abroad in the land. There
are more pious folk than Of the
other kind. The big crowd are the
Christian crowd. The public always
responds to great religious leader
ship.
Hezekiah made ready by a thor
ough housekeeping of the temple
righteousness must begin at the
house of God-and by tightening up
the laxity of the Levites. He sent
proclamation throughout all the
Promised Land, from Dan to Beer
sheba, including the degenerate
remnant that dwelt in the Northern
Kingdom, bidding the people pre-
pare themselves for a great Pass
over celebration at the temple in
Jerusalem. Broad-mindedly, he
winked at certain irregularities, in
time, duration and ceremonial readi-
ness of the festival and its partici-
pants. But the spirit of the memo
rial feast was definitely revived.
AS no purely political measures
could have done, this celebration,
which was a genuine revival of re-
ligion, made the people ready, in
new solidarity and quickened ma
tional ideals, for the impending
crisis. The most practical" measure
of reform that could come to any
community today would be a spir-
itual awakening. AS Billy Sundays
biographer, had to record long
tale of individuals and cities changed
by his preaching; debts paid, busi-
ness put on brotherly basis; old
feuds dropped, families purified and
made peaceful and prosperous:
drunkards and rakes reclaimed and
new and nobler purpose put into
whole communities. Always the
church can change the common life
when she puts her heart into it.
A Good Time For All.
Worldly folk often discount the
real delight that there is in domestic
joys and spiritual experiences. They
would see no happiness in a great
religious festival, such as Hezekiah' S
passover.
Nevertheless, the people enjoyed it
so much that they prolonged the
length of the celebration twofold.
And they had good time wrecking
the heather idols and their para
phernalia and chucking the debris
into the brook Kedron. And the fell
lowship they shared, the new sense
of fraternity and national unity
were an uplift to life. Best of all was
the deep sense of reconciliation with
their fathers God.
This was the best of preparation
for the Assyrian ordeal which lay
ahead of the nation. The lesson
story is a vivid illustration of the
sort of spiritual preparedness that
the world needs today.

into the worship of idols, forgetting
the God Of their fathers; just as
we have become idolaters of pleas
ure, of money, of success" and of
small partisanships. The clear les
son of their history, as of ours,
which was a striking instance of
the peculiar providence of God, had
become dimmed beneath personal
and national sins.
Good King Hezekiah, with the
Prophet Isaiah at his right hand as
counsellor, came to the throne in
these troubled times, at the age of
Is years; and his reign lasted for
20 years. Then, as now, "crisis"
was the big word in Judah's vo-
cabllary. The northern kingdom
had been carried into Assyrian cap
tivity, and Sennacherib was ham,
mering at the gates of Jerusalem,
having captured many lesser cities.
There was a deal of the real
statesman in Hezekiah, though he
made some blunders. He tried ap-
peasement with the Assyrians, and
paid heavy tribute. Then he fell
back on the basic traditions of his
people, and put his reliance in the
Lord who had delivered the chill
dren of Israel from Egypt.
When the siege of Jerusalem be-
came imminent, he performed that
incomprehensible engineering feat
which is today one of the wonders
of Jerusalem-the tunnel which car
ried the water from the city's one
spring outside the walls (Which he
shut up and concealed from the in
vaders) through the solid rock to
the Pool of Sloan Modern en-
gineers cannot explain how this
work was accomplished.
Leaders Who Lead.
Modern politicians are experts at
following what they believe to be the
popular moot. They let pressure
groups" determine legislation. The
extreme of this fashion is the man
ner in which community officials
allow themselves to be controlled by
the criminal element. Their own
personal contacts are with the lower
order of the population: they have
no intimate relationship with the
home keeping. misunderstanding,
God fearing people who are the real
public, and so they yield to the de-
mands of the basest-usually at a
price.
Now the first business of leaders
is to lead. The king is "the man who
can" In Hezekiah's day, he exer-
cised his proper role of leadership.
He was King, IN fact. as well as in
name. So. being wise and we'll
advised, he undertook fundamental
reform in Judah's life, the re-es-
tablishment of religion in first place.
Most men in high places give lip
service to religion. but they seldom
do anything practical about it. We
DO not hear of highest government

public interest will be served by a
prompt and final decision as to
whether a group organized to pro-
vide medical service for its members
and the professional men and wom-
en- who serve the group are protected
by the antitrust laws from restric-
tive activity by other groups"
The Justice Department pointed
out that, regardless of any decision
the Court of Appeals for the Dis
trict of Columbia might render en-
the appeal already taken. it is "al-
most certain" that thereafter petit
tton of this kind would be filed with
the Supreme Court asking it finally
to decide the questions presented by
the case.
BY asking the Supreme Court to
take Jurisdiction of the case at this
time, the department said, the final
determination of important issues
involved In the case may be obtained
more quickly than routine procedure
permits.
Justice James M. Proctor of Dis
trict Court on July 26 dismissed the
indictment which the Government
obtained against the American
Medical Association, three other
medical societies and 81 individual
doctors on the grounds that the
practice of medicine was not a
trade, as defined by the Sherman
Antitrust Act, and contended by
the Government in it's suit.
The Governments action against
organized medicine arose out of the
controversy here over the Group
Health Association, a cooperative
medical enterprise for Government
workers. 1t was alleged that Or
ganized medicine had denied hospi-
tai and medical facilities to the
association medical staff and men,
bers.
The departments action in carry
ing the case directly to the Supreme
Court was approved by Attorney
General Frank C. Murphy and AS
sistant Attorney General Thurman
Arnold, head of the antitrust di-
vision, it was announced.

was picked up by automobile.
Though the $50 miles were negoti-

arrived late to the opening of the

lunch prepared in his honor.
Without benefit of bread. the Gov
ernor of West Virginia followed the

planes overhead-the mass of coun-
try and city folk listened to speeches
and saw a ribbon cut by a pair of
shears that once were in the hands
of James Rumsey. the inventor, dur
ing the administration of George
Washington, his friend. The shears,
incidentally, were presented to
Thomas H. Macdonald, chief of the
United States Public Roads Bureau.
Ezra B. Whitman, chairman of the
Maryland State Roads Commission,
presented the historic shears.
Waesche Chief Speaker.
First, the shears had been used by
two beautiful daughters of Mary
land and West Virginia-the Misses
Catherine Shepherd Stehl of Mary
land and Miss Elizabeth Temple
Shepherd of West Virginia-both
1ineal descendants of Thomas Shep-
herd, founder of ShepherdstoWn, and
of Mrs. Abram Shepherd and of
Thomas Swearington, owner of the
first ferry at ShepherdstoWn.
Principal speaker of the day was
Rear Admiral Russell R. Waesche,
in charge of the United States Coast
Guard, who came from this vicinity.
Introduced by an old classmate, Park
w. F. 10y. the admiral called atten-
ton to the truly rural scene and
said it was diametrically opposite of
such scenes in Europe, where the
armed forces were getting ready for
militant expectancy.
Representative Jennings Ran
dolph, who represented this district
in Congress, stressed the same
point:
This bridge" he said, lis the
symbol of peace between the great
sovereign States - Maryland and
West Virginia-and this is happy
occasion in the lives of all of us
for this is not a bridge that will
