Gesson Text: Micah S:l-l2s6:6-s,

Micah, a young contemporary
of Isaiah, wrote in the last de-
cades of the eighth century BIC.
He was peasant, living in More
seth, an obscure hamlet on the
western foothills bordering the
Philistine Plain, about twenty
five miles from Jerusalem. While
his prophecies were addressed to
both kingdoms, they refer more
particularly to Judah, or Jeru-
salem.
In reading the Book of Micah,
one is not always able to catch
the actual meaning of every
phase and reference, even stu
dents differ upon some passages,
but a careful consideration makes
plain some, of the evils he de-
nounced in that ancient society.
While social customs and usage
have altered in the course of
years, human nature is much the
same, and we can profit by the
frank judgment of the prophet.
The picture of social conditions
as painted by Micah reveals how
selfish and degenerated were the
ruling passions of the day, and
show their similarity to unde-
sirable tendencies in our own
modern world. Avarice, oppres-
sion of the poor, love of luxury,
hypocritieal worship and leader
ship, injustice in the administra-
ton of government, dependence
upon material factors, and other
things mentioned by Micah have
not been entirely removed from
among mankind.
The rulers were described as
hating good and loving evil and
their expressions of the people
so exacting as to be covered in a
figure of speech as eating their
flesh and flaying their skin. Those
in the office of prophets were
represented as making the people
err, as being susceptible TO brib-
cry, and as blinded to genuine
truth. Could leadership sink any
lower than such a state of affairs
that Micah said the best of them
is as a briar?"
As a true prophet, an, exponent
of sin and an advocate of right
eousness, Micah delivered a mes
sage of punishment. AS Samaria
had recently been destroyed. so
would be Jerusalem, which would
''be plowed as a field. A period
of punishment and penance
would be experienced, but Micah
in the promise of happier day
for the faithful remnant recog-
nized the forgiving love of Jeho-
yah and looked forward to the
time when 'they shall sit every

Biggest Steel Boom
In History Seen
By Engineer
Wales Declares South
America Alone Will
Keep Mills Busy
BY the Associated Press.


PITTSBURGH. Sept. 2s.-The
Association of Iron and Steel Engi-
neers today heard from its presi.
dent, c. Clark Wales, that the
American steel industry stood on
the verge of the biggest boom in
history.
He said that English, German and
Russian mills must turn to the job
of supplying domestic war demands
and give up exports and that trade
demands of South America alone,
much Of it lost in the past to
England and Germany, would keep
American mills busy for months to
come.
1T is up to the American pro-
ducers of heavy and light steels
to keep the world supplied and our
mills-large and small-are antic.
lpating heavy orders" added Wales.
He considered increased attend
ance at the associations conven-
tion and a larger number of con-
vention exhibits as significant in
dications companies were expecting
banner year" and were prepar-
ing to meet it with modernized
plants capable of producing an un-
precedented amount of tonnage.
When those mills get rolling to
capacity" declared Wales, every
fabricator in the country will have
to turn up to full speed 10 keep
up with them.
Today our mills are buster than
they have been in two years with
strong indications that production
schedules will be stepped up higher
each week. When the boom comes
they will be ready for it,"

NEW YORK, Sept. 28-Buoyant
United States Government bonds
stood in bold contrast to the bal
ance of the loan market today
Gains among the Treasures
ranged to around "a point at the
start of the last hour. But the
recently favored rail section steamed
downward
Utilities and industrialS registered
modest gains which f1uctuated, how
ever, in close sympathy with the
course of stocks.
Bond experts characterized deal
. ings as marking time, awaiting de-
velopments abroad. Reports from
Berlin of possible peace efforts were
regarded as making traders wary
of additional commitments for the
time being.
Among the corporates which reg
istered gains were Firestone 3l2s,
Consolidated Edison 31as, Interna-
t.onal Telephone SIS, Columbia Gas &
Electric SIS of 81, American Tele-
phone 81 of '66, Pennsylvania Gen.
eral 4las of '65 and Bethlehem Steel
3as.
