ship brought them again into SUBJ
lection of the surrounding nations.
This period Of time covered the
rise and power of the great en-
pires - Persia, Babylonia, Egypt
Greece and Rome.
Last of the Old Testament proph-
cts, Malachi, spoke clear, strong and
biting words. He pictured divine
direction and judgment in the pas
sages assigned for present study.
The old prophet saw as clearly as
the latest liberal that social in
justices could not abide under the
reign of God. His entire book may
be summed up in the words, "Ge:
right with God"
Despite his dire prophecies, NAL
achi held out promise of new life
for a repentant people. He fore
told the coming of Elijah and oi
the appearance of the Messiah.
But in this long and troubled
stretch of Jewish life great changes
were made in the outward forms OF
Judaism. In this period worship
shifted from the temple to the syn
agogues which were set up through
out the land. New forms Of ritual
and anniversary celebration were
established. as we'll as the sway OF
the Pharisees. The expectation OF
the coming Messiah burned low.
But the Messiah did come. The
tragedy of all tragedies in Judah's
troubled life was that it did not &C
cept the Messiah, who came in the
person of Jesus.
Still the "Messenger'-that is the
meaning OF Malachi's name-held
out hope for his people. He quoted
God as saying that if they would
bring all the tithes into the store
house-that is, conform to their pri-

mary spiritual obligations - He
would open up the windows of
Heaven and pour them out blessing
so great that there would not be
room enough to receive it.
In other words, God is willing to
meet mans needs, but only upon
the divine conditions.
Our assigned lesson text closes
with quotation from Luke. All of
the divine proyidences climax and
concentrate in the coming of the
Messiah, whom the Jews rejected.
They were blind to the fulf1llment
OF all the old prophecies in the per-
son of the Son of Mary.

PUTS up FIGHT ON
 INJUNCTION
Argues He Is Not Required to Bargain with Soufh- .
 ern Coal Men

WASHINGTON, June l.-R)- John l.. Lewis argued today that he. is not required to bargain with the hostile, arbitrary Southern Coal Producers Association.
 This was his reply to the Gov ernments motion for Taft-Hart- ley Act injunction to compel his United Mine Workers to seek a contract with the Association.
 Lewis lawyers filed motion to dismiss the injunction suit brought by Robert N. Denham, general counsel of the National Labor Re- lations Board.
 The Taft-Hartley law requires unions and employers to bargain in good faith with each others chosen representatives,. Lewis had refused to bargin with the south ein group on the ground it did not take part in previous contract talks, and national negotiations for a new soft coal contract have collapsed as result.
