JEREMIAH CAST INTO PRISON.—Jeremizh, 37,1; 38.13. Golden text—"Be Not Afrald Because of Them, for 1 Am With Thee to Deliver Thee, Saith Jehovah.'—Jeremiah, 1.8. Judah’s downfall was rapidly ap- proaching. Jeremlah's toczin had failed to arouse the nation to- its imminent peril. The death of Jehoiakim and Hananiah, the degene- rate prophet, who had opposed Jere- miah, had established the certainty of the prophet's predictions, vet the people refused to listen to his mes- sage. Jeremlah's efforts to make the nation realize its mission and the sacredness of their treaty obligations caused him to be classed as an old fogey and fossil. He saw clearly that the conditions of his times and the fatal consequences of their moral and religious corruption, revealed in their persecution of the Lord's proph- ets and rejection. of God's word, meant the destruction of the nation's life He: labored with a heavy heart to restore a real faith in Jehovah and His manifestation through humanity so_that Judah might be saved. Shortly after the decisive battle of Carchemish had established the un- doubted supremacy of the Babylon- fans, referred to in our lesson as the Chaldeans, Nebuchadnezzar appeared at Jerusalem. He took Coniah (the son of Jehoiakim, who had succeeded to the throne only three months pre- vious upon the death of his father), a prigoner to Babylon, together with 2 number of the leading princes. He placed upgn the throne, as a sworn vassal to Babylon and shadow of a king, Zedeklah, a weak, vacillating brother of Jeholakim, who was the last ruler of Judah. He was easily led and under the guidance of evil advisers he took advantage of what appeared to be a favorable opportunity, due to the aggressiveness and ambitions of Hophra, “the Apries of Herodotus,” to carry out Nechors policy “of restor- ing the ancient Egyptian influence in Western Asia. Zedekiah took the initiative in seek- ing this new alllance. When the news of Judah's treachery and viola- tion of their covenant agreements roached Babylon _ Nebuchadnezzar rtharched against Jerusalem and be- sieged it. Jeremiah was charged with being a friend of Babylon and a foe of his country, because he urged upon the government and people that the only way of safety was for them to sur- render to Nebuchadnezzar. When the army of .the Egyptians was reported to be approaching. it called for the excreise of that strategy, which made Nebuchadnezzar one of the world's greatest military leaders. He quick- ly raised the siege, marched to meet the army of Pharaoh, whom he de- feated and forced to retreat into ypt. When the Balylonian army departed from Jerusalem to check the fortes of Hophra the opponents of Jeremiah pointed to it as an evidence that the prophet had failed in his predictions. They accepted it as an omen that Jerusalem was Inviolable nd that God would. protect the city, as He had when Sennacherib set out to meet Tirhakah without carrying out his measures to execute his threats against Jerusalem. They rep- resent a modern class of people who clajm that they find “the revelation of the Most High incredible.” yet they accept, without question, unsupported theories and foolish conjectures The prospect of a divine deliver- ance because of their promises to worship Jehovah and of their freeing the Hebrew slaves and maid servants brought courage to the court, city and country. Jeremiah saw the’ facts in their true light. He alone dectared that it meant, in the end, national misfortune. He pointed out the facts ‘which God had revealed to him. This made him about as popular as a re- ligious pacifist was in our land and in other nations during the recent war. The prophet realized that his hopes for saving Judah had been com- pletely destroved. . The withdrawal of the Babylonian or Chaldean forces furnished an op- portunity for many to 'visit their farms and ascertain the state of their possessions. When Jeremiah sought to take advantage of the enem's depa ture to visit his family estate, he w misjudged by the guards at the ci gates. They charged that he was evi- dently a spy and wished to g0 out of Jerusalem to get in communication with some of the forces of Nebuchad- nezzar so that. he could give them a report of the city's destitution afd points of weakness. Although Jere- miah denied the charge, they classed him as a traitor:and put him in pris- on. Bars could not.’stop the prophet preaching the message of warning any God. denominations are filled with the s of men who have suffered the tortures of prison life for the ad- vancement of the kingdom of Christ The blood of.the mar- tyrs has always been the seed of .the hurch. To be sent upon the master's business is offen a eall to suffer for His glory. The faithful witnesses of the’ Father, including the Son of God Himself, have all been called upon to pass through the fires of: religious persecution. It was not easy for Jeremiah to pass the weary days in the dungeon where they had imprisoned him, be- cause they were afraid to take his life. He rejoiced that he was counted worthy to suffer for the glory of Je- hovah. The bars of his dungeon prison could not keep the Lord from visit- ing His servant. He drew near o the prophet, as He has to all those who have sought to glorify Him when they are called upon 15 sui¥er dreds of citizens barded together in opposition to a plan of northern cap; talists to make the Reelfoot Lake sec- | tion of Tennessee into a vast private | game preserve, was recalled by the | death at Trenton, Ten Friday, of Col.

Taylor's neck. Although sixty-two placed within the dreadéd dungeon Walls. Jeremiah could not be silenced by years old, he broke away from his captors, dived into a lake and made his escape. Eight members of the night-riding band were given death sentences, but the findings were re- versed by the Supreme Court and the men were never tried again. The hanging of Capt. Rankin caused the plan for the game pre- serve to be abandoned and the state has since taken over part of the tract. ROADS ASK TAX STAY.

By the Assoclated *TOKI Press. 0, May 29 (by mail).—The war ministry, in line with promises made befyre the diet, is working on lans to ¢xduce the Japanese stand- ng arms hg 50,060 officers and men and to cut 4rmy budget by yven 20,000,000. As in Qe navy, the plan calls o€ certain Tompansation for mc:r' 4wd men dismissed from the vice. ! to hesi being imprisoned. He called upon all who came within hearing of his voice to surrender to Babylon, so that they could live. He did not hesitate to de- clare the truth to the king, when he sought a private conference with the prophet. Godléss leaders in all ages have had no desire to hear the truth. The sting of the unwelcomed facts always exasperates sinful men. The degenerate leaders of Jerusalem had been tried by the attitude of Jere- miah. They considered ‘that he was disloyal and a foe to the nation be- cguse he had the courage of his con- victions and. dared to proclaim the revelation which he -had received ‘from Jehovah. He saw that their al- liance with Egypt speit natlonal dis- aster, which could be averted, if they would recognize their treaty obliga- tions to the rising power of Babylon and return to the worship of God. They considered him'dangerous and they looked upon him with suspicion. His religious ideal was superior and greater than his patriptism. If ever there was a loving and patriotic heart, it was Jeremiah’s. He -could gladly have died at any moment, a3 he had lived for the welfare of his ‘country and the glory of his God. The prophet's own soul caused him te against declaring his mes- sage that called upon the nation to surrender or be destroyed. They not only misunderstood the prophet, but they maligned him, as aM reformers usually are maligned and misunder- stood when they champion civic righteousness, social purity and a living, vital religion that insists that the real welfare of his country is in: separable from right dealing with all men and ndtions. The prince .per- suaded Zedekiah, who' had claimed to be a friend of the prophet- to punis! him as a traitor, claiming that he had committed treason by his public speeche: which antagonized the Egyptian® policies of the court and the general immorality and idolatry of the nation. Lik isevelt, he in- sisted-that the nation “fear God and do right.” * . No man ever takes a stand for justice arml religion without att: the re- Jxct of some people who will stand by him in battling for the truth. Ebed Ezekiel tells us that| more than the pgison cell could | hinder Paul and Silas from praisine’ The missionary records of all (slave)-Melech (“of the king”), a trusty negro slave of the king, championed the cause of Jeremiah with a boldness and courage llke that which smarked the slaves during the war =between . the states. He ‘appealed upon general prin- ciples of equity to the king.at an hour when he was dispersing justice at the city gate of Benjamin. He pointed out that they planned to allow the prophet to slowly die in the darkness and damp- ness of the pit, where they had im- may have beerr due to the king's desire to assist the prophet, whom he secretly admired, that prompted Zedekiah to give the authority to' his negro slave to rescue Jeremiah, which he did with the tenderness of a woman and the faith- fulness of a friend. The prophet proved his gratitude to his loyal friend for de- vering him, for-he promised him that ‘his life shail be given him for a pre: thus insuring him that he would not be destroyed when the city would bé over- thrown. The loyalty and devotion of the negro slaves to thelr masters’ trust during the war of "61-'65 has been recog- nized by -the south by traditions and teachings that contain the richest prom- ige not only for the future of the negroes in_our land, but also for the proper re- lations Between both races. We close with this-lesson our studies of Jeremiah. We have seen him enter the “vale -of soulmaking, fully aware of the perils he must face and the long- suffering struggle which he would be called upon to endure. He lived a life- long martyrdom, filled with despondency and loneliness, which caused nim at times to bemoan his hard lot and curse the day of his birth. It was in such hours that Jehovah drew near and helped His servant by His presence and promises. We do not know when or how the end came to Jeremiah. There is a tradition, “'mentioned by Tertullian, Jerome and others, that the men of Tap- panhes, stung by his bitter words, stoned him to death, and it has been thought that in Hebrews:11.37 there is an allusioMto this circumstance.” How- ever this may be, it was in Egypt, in all probability, .tpat the curtain fell upon the great prophet's life in darkness and desolation. The oppressed of all lands and in all ages have found in his con- stancy and courage that which has in- spired them in their dark hours of sad- ness, suffering and sadness to try to endure their trial and to be true to God being, like Jeremiah in faith and ¢, always doing the duty intrusted to them. .- 5,000 CONFEDERATE \ETERANS 10 MEET Plans Being Completed. for Big Reunion in Rich- mond June 19. .
