¢ SN THE EVENING STAR, WASHIN Latest Announcements of Church News, Sunday School Lesson BY REV. HUGH T. STEVENSON. THE DOWNFALL OF JUDAH, 11 Kings, 25.1-21. Golden Text—Be not deceivi God is not mocked; for what ever a man soweth, that shall he | also reap.—Gal., 6.7. Judah's deathknell was sounded after a prolonged siege of eighteen months. In accordance with the pre- alctions of Jeremiah the Babylonians, or Chaldeans, returned to Jerusalem after they had crushed the Igyptians and renewed their efforts to force the king and the people to surrender. Our lesson opens with the return of Nebuchadnezzar to Judah's strong- hold, filled with the determination to master Zedekiah, who had turned traitor in his efforts to form an al- liance with Egypt. While his return vindicated the prophet, yet this patriot | suffered more than any other person within Jerusalem, nevertheless, up to the very end he tried in vain to per- suade both the king and the people to surrender, because it was the only course that promised them a chance to be saved. The end did not come without a strenuous struggle. Jeremiah in his lamentations has mirrored the in- describable horrors and suffering within the city. Famine drove the Hebrew mothers to such a pitch of madness that they consumed their own children. In spite of the untold sorrows and the weakness of the army, due to the lack of food, they ! made a defense of the city which re- vealed the strength, strategy and stick-to-it-iveness of the Jewish pev- ple. They pulled down their houscs fo strengthen the city fortifications, which Zedekiah had thought were in- vulnerable. They heroically tried to to Ezra, were gathered together and carried ‘away to Babylon with the other spoil.” After four hundred years of checkered history the temple was destroyed by fire. All the sur- vivors of the slege and slaughter, ex- cept the poor serfs, were carried to Babylon, leaving Jerusalem a desola- tion and wailing, fulfilling literally Micah's grim prophecy that Jeru- salem would become “heaps, and the ,mountain of the house as high places |of the forest.” | When the great lines of captives {started to retrace across the desolate jwastes tho route that Abraham, the |friend of God, had followed when in {cbedlence to the Lord's command he {went out, not know!ng where Jehovah jwould ouide him, Judah ceased to be 2 political power. Jerusalem and Juuaa tels, as all nations have fallen, iand found wanting. Historlans may itrace the cause of the nation's fall |to its bad economic policy, but the real cause was that their hearts were not right with God. This was re- vealed in their moral degeneracy and |diercgard for religious teachers. It !" As true of nations as it is with men, that “whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap.” The recent fortunes of the Romanoff, Hapsburg and Hohenzollern regal houses have proven the gospel statement. Out of death comes a larger life. Greece dled, vet lives in the noble graces which transfigure the though of men. and law of all nations ever. Jerusalem peri jour coming lessons we will see how God corrects the errors of the nation and recreated them so that they will do His will. While others suffered the Lofd was iin the shadow keeping watch above {His own. Jeremiah, whose patriotic lefforts to save the nation had failed, jwas given his freedom and the privi {lege of going where he wished. The man, who had been branded as a destroy the effectlveness of the per- [traitor and thrust like a felon Into sistent blows of the engines of de- struction by catching the battering | rams that shook the walls of the city | day and night with chalns which| would weaken the blows or over-i turn them. ! Gelkie tells us that “archers made the defense increasing hard by con- stant showers of arrows from the high wooden forts; catapults of all sizes hurled stones into the town with a force as deadly as that of modern bullets, and darts tipped with | fire kindled the roofs of houses:| mines were dug under the walls and | attempts at escalade by ladders were renewed at every favorable oppor- tunity.” Each day brought some fresh horror and suffering. Not once during the siege, although the forces within the city grew gradually weaker through lack of iood and their homes were fllled with sick and wounded, did the defenders of Jeru- salem propose to quit the defense Of the capital city. They fought like the heroes of Verdun, determined that their enemy should not pass within the city walls. French warriors at- tribute their victory to God, who cen- turies before used the Babylonians to punish Judah for refusing to obey Him and heed His prophet’s warning. They had forgotten Him and their sin had found them out and as a re- sult they were conquered. Something had to give away under the persistent pounding of the Baby- lonian battering rams. Suddenly one night the middle gate of the temple that formed the city’'s fortifications on the east side of the city gave way and the city was at the mercy of Nebuchad- nezzar. Zedekiah and his forces immedi- ately retired under cover of the night. They left too late. If they had gone out when Jeremiah advised then he could have saved his throne and the city from destruction. They were de- tected and overtaken In their flight on the wide plains of Jericho where they were forced to give battle. There, where Joshua fought his first tri- umphant battle in Palestine, the forces of Zedeklah fought the last fight for the expiring monarchy and were conquered. They took the wretched king to Riblah, where Nebuchadnezzar had his headquarters in Syria, on the banks of the Orontee river. When the leaders of Judah's religious and military forces were presented before the victorious cocmmander they were all put to death, possibly by behead- ing. Zedekiah, whom the great Babylonfan general considered to be an ingrate and traitor, received a characteristic sentence from his con- queror. He was forced to witness the barbarous cruelty of his sons be- ing slain before his own eyes, so that the last sight that he beheld probably was their dying agony. Then, as a last savage act, probably Nebuchad- nezsar himself with his own spear struck out both of Zedekiah's eyes. The memory of the horrors of the re- cent world war are fresh enough in our minds to make us all determine that we will never rest until war shall cease as a means of settling disput mong nations and men. Later the king, who by his wea personal character, evil court advl ors and vacillating and iniquitous career, was sent as a prisoner -to Babylon, where he died. Thus the apparently contradictory prophecies of Esekiel and Jeremiah were fulflll- ed that he should not see Babylon and yet that he should die there. The drastic destruction of the city was inspired by political principies that characterized the policy of Babylon. Only such destruction was ordered as would make a repetition of their seditious conduct impossible. The palaces, public buildings and fortifications were _completely de- stroyed so that Jerusalem ~could never again become a hotbed for re- bellion and treason. The fanatical loyalists who sought shelter within the walls of the temple, whose wor- ship_they had’ defiled, were slaugh- tered In the precincts of the sacred sanctuary.

Ebed-melect, the negro, who saved the prophet's Wfe, was reward- ed for his efforts upon behalf of Jeremiah, whose lamentations over the city's fall and his country’s con- quest reveals the inner sorrow and spiritual suffering which is not given in our lesson. Each of these, as well as Zedekiah, reaped what they sowed. If the king had followed the statesmanlike suggestions of Jere- miah he could have preserved his prestige, position and_power and at the same time saved his country from destruction. He placed self first and lost all. His weakness cost him his evesight, liberty, loved ones and throne, = Ebed-melech’s courage in champloning the cause of the prophet resulted in his life being spared when the city was overthrown. Jeremiah's inflaxible loyalty to Jehovah and he- roic stand for the interest of the nation has given him a place with the heroes of faith and history. The lesson clearly teaches us to “be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall be also reap.” ELECT MISS MODDELMOG. Young People’s Society of C. E. Name Officers.

Smith has arrived here, completing an eight-months' tour of the world un- dertaken to promote Internatlonal ifriendship and good will. His tour was under the joint auspices of the World Alllance of the Churches and the Federal Councll of Churches in America, and he carried credentials from the International Y. M. C. A, tne VoL A Lo Sunday School Association and the World's Christian Endeavor Union, and letters from President Hurding and decretury Hughes. Sailing from San Francisco last No- vember, Mr. Smith girdled the globe, Visiling ninetecn countries and hold- ing mectings and conferences at Hono- {lulu, Tokio, Seoul; smeveral cities of {China, India and Ceylon; Cairo, Jeru- salem, Constantinople, Athens, Sofla, selgrade, Budepest, Vienna, Prague. Geneva, Rome, Clobenz, Paris and London’ Attitude of the Orlent. Speaking of the attitude of the orient toward Christlaniay, Mr. Smith asserted that the conceptions of tne lreiigion of Christ in this country and the far east were widely different. The average Mohammedan regards Christianity, he said, as a religion of war and bioodshed. The Moslems, Wwho freely advocate the sword, ac- cuse Christians of insincerity in pro- fessing a love of peace while waging the bloodiest wars in all hisfory. iIn Indla a distinguished native Chris- tian advised him not to use the word “Christianity” in his addresses in t¥at country. “You can preach Christ.” said this oriental, “but you cannot preach Christianity. It s here re- garded as the name of & Western re- Iigion which has falled.” “I could multiply similar illustra- * sai . Smith, “from China and Japan. Hindus, Mohammedans and Buddhists are filling the far east with descriptions of western Chris- tianity as & war-loving and war- promoting organization. The east says ‘Christianity, a cannon ball, & submarine and a gas bomb go to- gether. The west says ‘Christ is the Prince of Peace and the Christian church is the instrument to make that doctrine effective throughout the world.’ Christianity Lacks Results. “But the cold fact is that thus far Christian_teaching has not produced that result even In nations where It has held & preponderance of the peo- plo. Passing peace resolutions does not remove this impression. I be- lieve that the great war has set back by many years what might have been the progress of Christianity in China and Indfa. “The Christian church is the only organization with the worid contacts which make possible & common binder for preserving peace. If the church fails in its new opportunity more and worse wars are coming. The stage setting is perfect for more outbreaks. Only the Christian gos- pol of brotherhood can furnish the moral and spiritual foundation that will make peace really possible.” REV. RIPPY TO VIRGINIA. Rev. M. Leo Rippy, assistant pastor of the Mount Vernon Place Methodist Episcopal Church South, left Wednes- day morning for Randolph-Macon Col- lege, Ashland, Va. where he has charge of the recreational program for the summer training school held under the direction of the board of missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church South for the city and rural iministers.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 17.—A crush- ing defeat to the fundamentalist group of the Northern Baptist Church was seen at the fifteenth an- nual convention of that denomination yesterday, when the modernists suc- ceeded in having the creed which they proposed ratified by the con- vention. The vote on the modernists’ con- fession of faith, which states that the New Testament of the Bible shall be the creed of the Northern Baptigt, was 1,264 for and 637 against. The fundamentalist creed, which asked' that Baptist churches take the Bible as & whole as their creed, was presented by Dr. W. B. Riley of Minneapolis, Minn. ~ This, it was said, was fi adopted by the New | Hampshire state convention more; than seventy-five years ago. H The confession of faith adopted yesterday was only a recommenda- tion to the churches of the denomi- nation and is not considered binding on any church, it was sald. The modernist creed was presented by Dr. C. Woelfkin of New York. At an earlier meeting the modern- ist_group nominated Dr. Frederick L. Taylor of Indianapolis as president of the next convention. It was said that the fundamentalist group would nominate Dr. Frank E. Goodchild of New York as the next president. DR. NORWOOD TO PREACH London City Temple Pastor to Be at First Congregational. Rev.
