HUGH T. STEVENSON. THE ASSYRIAN EXILE OF ISRAEL—II Kings, xi to xvi. Golden Text—1 will delight myself in Thy statutes; I will not forget Thy word. — Psalm exix.18. ‘There was no visible sign of Israel's coming doom when Amos made his predictions in the reign of Jeroboam 11, Within two decades following the death of Israel's powerful king the prophecies of the patriotic proph- ets had become a matter of history. After Jereboam's departure in peace, king followed king in rapid succes- sion in a period marked by maurder, unrest and anarchy. The “military despotism” that had shaped the na- tion’s policy to a large extent from the days of Saul, now held unbridled control By their rule they hastened the catastrophe, which the prophets had labored carnestly to avert. Israel's downfall did not come sud- denly. During the period of the na- tion's’ decline the northern kingdom threatened by Assyrian rulers | with at leust four invasions. The | work of the explorer's spade has | brought forth from the Assyrian ruins royal records that not only con- firm the Scriptures, but also throw a flood of Hght upon the last days of | Israel. Shalamneser forced Jehu to pay tribute according to the monu- mental records. Menahem averted ruin from his house by paying =« | thousand talents of silver to Tiglath- | | Pileser TIV. “The lord of the Tigris" | invaded Gilead, Galilee and Napthall, | ravaged the country and deported & large number of their inhabitants be- | cause Pekah, King of Israel, had co spired with Resin, King of Syria. | gainst Judah, whose king, Ahaz, had sought assistance of the Assyrians. Hoshea, who was the last ruler of | Israel, owe: s throne to the in-| |Nuence of Assyria Pul, or Tiglath- | Pileser, was so successful in his mil- | ita ampaigns that he recorded ‘lha Pekah, their king, 1 put to | death, and I appointed Hoshea to the sovercignty over them The in- | seriptic that have been buried for centuries tells us who financed and forced to a guccess the issues of the revolution. The Bible record merely | mentions Hoshea as the conspirator, | murderer and successor of Pekah. He | was loyal to Assyria during the days of Tiglath-Pileser, but _ Hoshea | brought about the crash of Israel by attempting to “double cross” Shal- |amaneser V.~ When the new king | threatened lsrael, resistance was in vain, Hoshea agréed to pay him tri ute. The truce was of short dur: on. Inspired by the promises c . or Shabaka, to assist both Judah and I[sracl against Assyria, Hoshea mad a_ fatal secret treaty wllh‘ V!

Although they were without | the inspiration of a king, the leaders held out for three years, expecting relief from Egypt, until starvation had done its ghastly work. When the hour came for the starving and ex- hausted people of Samaria to sur- render the Assyrian king, who had commenced and virtually corapleted their conquest, had passed on to | his successor, commenced his successful carcer by | accepting their capitulation. He posed heavy penalties upon the in-| habitants and deported 30,000 of their princes and nobility.

In what Dr. McLa.:n JAILBIRD BANQUET CAUSES BAD FEELING Attacks of Convicts on Police, Judges and Missions Stir Resentment. LOS ANGELES, May quet given by Chief Vollmer, the fancy cop imported to command the Los Angeles police, to the prisoners the Lincoln Heights jail has pa ed into tradition of that institut as the “last supper.” The jailbirds leveled n their shafts the judges, the prosecuting officers, the Salvation Army and the Midnight Mission and stirred up bitter resent- periment in modernism as applied by Vollmer to the conduct of the po- lice department. It was a grand party while it last- ed. Among the guests were some of the most notorious crooks in this part of the country, to say nothing of dope fiends, panhandlers and other types sojourning in the jail. While the affair was informal as to dress and manners, the guests proved them- selves of no mean caliber as post- prandial orators. And that's where the hurt comes in, for some of the things they said cut deep into the dignity of the courts and their offi- cers and reflected gravely upon court procedure Had Dowble Purpose. Chief Vollmer's idea had a double purpose—to celebrate for the inmates themselves the opening of the mice new jail that has no bars or keys and to determine from the speeches of the crooks themselves the origin of c¢rime. The chief attended with his staff of high officers and un- doubtedly they learned many things of interest in their study of crimi- nology. They would have learned much more but for bumping square into the underworld code that a crook does ot snitch even on craoked po- ice. Vollmer's master of ceremonies was “Frisco Tommy.” who told his hear- ers that he had been inside of more jails than there were déllars in the crowd, but had reformed, and an- nounced that Chief Vollmer wanted the boys present to pitch In and pan the police to a fare-the-well. Refused to “Snitch.” Johnny Jumper, a youth with a Valentino make-up, proved the code of the underworld early in the pro- ceedings. “I mnever trusted the cops,”. said Johnny. “T never had to. 1 had a superior quality of goods I was sell- ing to an exclusive trade,” You got me because my competitor tipped you off to my residence. “What I want to know is this: When you pinch a man and get eighteen gallons of good whisky from him, why is it that the records show ¥ou only confiscate three?” Vollmer was interested He got up | lost | Jeho | quently never realized in her history | yet they have molded Judah and the Sunday School Lesson has aptly called “a post mortem in- quiry into the disease that killed a kingdom,” the basal sin is discovered to have been a secret spiritual one that started in her departing frem walking in the paths of Jehovah. They had pretended to formally wo ship Him, but it was only a veneer covering their idolatry that had been going on more cr less for three hun- dre¢ vears. During that time “they built the iniquitous high places from the lonely outpost to the .crowded thoroughfare, where they set pillars and Asherim (representing idols), upon every high hill and under every green tree. They offered their sacri- fices upon heathen altars.” They de- liberately disobeyed His commands untfl their inoral degeneracy was such that they secretly practiced the lewd abominations of the heathen. They refused in their obstinacy to heed the messages of God. whom Jehovah sent unto them in an effrrt to check ir moral and spiritual downfall. ey rejected the proj ets and the seers, who tried to per- sugde them to repent of their folly, return to the Lord and walk in His ways. They defied the authority of God and trampled His covenants and statutes under their feet. Their re- action against the commandments of Jehovah was so great that an eml- nent scholar has suggested that “per- haps, at this era in Israel's history, no people on earth were more disso- lute and wicked.” The extent of thelr iniquity is seen in the fact that they not only adopted the local heathen practices, but they imported foreign un faiths until, in their heartiess- ness, they stood before the great man- headed ‘ox, with outstretched afms heated to a red heat, and, amidst the wailing cries of their infant children, they cast their helpless offsnring into his outstretched arms, to be carried thence into the flames ruging in his fiery inside. The nation had sold themselves to sin and were scrving the pagan gods in place of Jehovah. until the Lore in His displeasure im posed upon them the penalty of their individual and national sin, when He permitied them to be exiled into As- syria, where they became forever as a nation. Their captivity confirmed the words of the prophets and it brought upon them the fruit of their sins and sinful practices. Historians have speculated upon the rise and fall of many nations. In our study of the history of Israel from its commencement under Jere- boam until her identity as a nation became completely destroyed, we have seen the law that regulates the life of nations revealed. Amos laid the firm foundations for a_philosophy of history by advancing his views that all nations were in His hands and control. God rules. We are in His hands. All men and nations are sub- ject to Hini. Al history is the reve- lation of His purpose. The Psalmist caught the correct interpretation— Some frust in chariots and some in \orses But we will make mention of the name of Jehovah, our God. The mes times when there are no horses and no chariots, but there never will come a time when we can- not trust in the sustaining grace of the Lord, who watches over His peo- | ple and protects them at all hours, when they are obedlent to His com- mands and keep His covenants. _There is u lesson In retributive jus- tice that is seen in Israel's exile to Assvria. God had placed Israel and Judah in the midst of the surround- ing heathen nations to be His wit- nesses and a testimony against their abominations. They became virtually heathen by adopting the religion and practices of their heathen neighbors. ih used the very heaten, whose wickedness they had embraced | and adopted, to overthrow them. He used the wicked to punish the wicked. Although Israel disappeared. the words of the men Who sought to save her have survived. No doubt much of her rich literaturc has been de- stroyed or disappeared amidst buried libraries and ruins. While the truths that the prophets proclaimed were never accepted by Israel, and cons life of humanity. They joy ir mortality and warn America toda If we fail to be loval to the Lord meeting the socfal, political, eco- nemic and religious crisis that we are facing today, He will treat us as He did ancient Tsrael. 1f America in her maddening rush for gold. frivolity and pleasure forgets God and refuses to obey Him. we, too, shall perish If as individuals we will follow the message of the golden text. will delight myself in Thy statute not forget Thy word—we will be used of the Lord to advance His cause and hasten the coming of His kingdom. Let us follow righteousness, that ex- alts a nation, and avoid sin that brings ruin to’ all peoples.

Johnny hesitated but the briefest part of a moment, but even then the crowd began to' yell at him, “Don’t you do it—don't turn copper.’ And Johnny, with a_ smile, shook his head and Vollmer did not persist. Attack on Courts, Fire on the courts and the prosecu- tors, which extended to the Midnight Mission and the Salvation Army lodg- ing houses, which were denounded as breeding piaces of crime, was started by a negro, who declared that the way it is now before the judge can get a good look at you he says, “Six months.” A Russian, looking and talking like a poet, foilowed up, say- ing that “our judges are in a rut and possess only one-track minds” and that “they convict by formula.” ®The prosecuting officers were accused of working merely for a conviction and of never weighing justice in a case. Vollmer, claiming that he had learned enough to give him aid, brought a halt to the discussion, which had gone far afield, but he has learned a great deal more from the judges and prosecuting officers since this first and last banquet for the prisoners.
