Temple proaching doom when warned by the patriotic Jeremiah. When Jerusalem was in state siege, because the king had refused to heed the message of the prophet, “to serve the king of abylon and live,” Jeremiah found him- | self to be about as popular as a pacifist was in any one of the nations engaged in the World War. If Judah had heeded the words of Jeremiah. who in- sisted upon the nation fulfilling its treaties with the Babyionian power, it would have lived. Ezekiel and Jere- miah had condemned the secret treaties made with the vassal kings of Moab, Ammon and Tyre, as well as with Hophia of Egypt by Zedekiah. The weak and changeable son of Josiah had listened to the advice of his political advisors and declined to heed the warn ings of the prophets, who knew that he was a king in name only and that the one hope for the survival of Judah called for his faithful the treaty with the Babylonians. The violation of the king's treaty with Nebuchadnezzar was probably due to the idolatrous practices of the igno- rant men that had represented the mighty monarch in Jerusalem. Ezekiel informs us that they introduced and revived ancient and domestic forms of idolatrous worship in the temple. Men worshipped the sun with their backs to- ward the temple of the Lord. This gave the false advisors of the king a basis Sunday School Lesson observance of VENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, | | { | ‘ By Dr. Hugh T.

He was taken by his ene- mies into exile, when they were forced to leave the city fleeing into Egypt. It is sald that just across the border he | died a martyr’s death. | "The prophet’s fidelity had impressed the Ethiopian eunuch, who had made | | an appeal for him and rescued Jere- | miah after the frenzy of his enemies | had imprisoned him. This friendly | | Ethiopian was probably a Negro, who | had heard the prophet’s message due to his position as the king's chamberlain. | | He showed his courage and fidelity to | the servant of God by making an ap- | peal to the king upon Jerem.ah's be- | half. He secured for the prophet a | limited freedom and with his own | hands pulled him out of the mire, so0 | that he could enjoy the liberty that he had secured for him as a servant of Jehovah.

The trouble with the weak king is seen today in the attitude of many, who in their hours of trial turn to the pastor, priest and preacher for help, aid and assistance, when they would have spurned these same men and their messages in hours when they could have helped save them. In the moment of peril they turn to God's representatives and seek help for their personal profit, pleasure or power, Against that form of selfishness and national suicide, Jeremiah had raised his voice. He was unpopular and mis- judged by his enemies, whose selfish- ness and sinful plans he had fought and exposed. Religious Persecution. Jeremiah was charged with being a traitor and teaching doctrines that were dangerous to the state. During the raising of the siege, when the prophet tried to leave the city so as to collect his share of the proceeds from his farm lands, he was arrested. He faced the charge of disloyalty. He had pre- dicted that the city would fall into the hands of the Chaldean “forces and had derlared publicly that “he that abideth in the city shall die by the sword, the famine and the pestilence, but he that goeth forth to the Chal- deans shall live.” This was the founda- tion of the charge tha he was seeking to unite with the forces of the natlon’s enemies. In our own day and within very recent times servants of the Lord Jesus Christ have been persecuted for their religious faith in various lands. Catholic and Protestant missionaries have been halled before authorities for their at- titude against the government, when they were not antagonistic to that nation at all. They had given their lives and love for the people hoping ta save them by the preaching of the Gospel that condemned certain politi- cal practices and methods of men. The influence of the Soviet powers in Rus- sia has been antagonistic to men of the Christian faith. They have and are, according to accounts reaching the writer, persecuting members of the church of the Lord Jesus in Russia. The press has brought the story of the kidnapping and persecutions of faith- ful Christian servants in China. The blood of the martyrs has always been the seed of the church. To be sent of God has always igvolved the possi- bility of suffering fdr His glory. Faith- ful witnesses of God, including the Son of God Himself, have been called upon persecutions. The annals of the Jewish race tell the story of how men of their race and religion have suffered for their faith. 2 Jeremial was persecuted by Passhur, one of th» priests and chief officers in prophesied in the court of the Temple that the “impenitence and obduracy of the people” would result in the destru tion of Jerusalem. He placed him in the cruel stocks, but he could mot by punishment stop the prophet’s activity. Released from the stocks the next day, he changed the priest's name from Pas- shur, meaning prosperity around, to a name meaning terror on every side. Al- though the prophet had complained of his treatment and felt God had left him, his courage was speedily restored, and he did not hesitate to publicly criti- cize his enemy. When he tried to leave the eity he was imprisoned by the au- thorities for advising that they sur- render to the Chaldeans. The Prophet’s Rescue. He was imprisoned in the dungeon house of Jonathan after being beaten and condemned upon the charge of treason. The king summoned Jere- miah for an interview and when he ad- vised that they surrender the city, he was placed in the dungeon once miore He was saved by the intercession of an Ethioplan eunuch, who_interceded for his release and pulled him out of the mire of the pit within the dungeon, | to give aid. wen - the king and the 1 | MEE—— to pass through the fires of religious | hen.

Nebuchadnezzar at once marched to Judah and laid siege to Jerusalem. 3. Pharaoh-hopra was an ally of Judah. He was, also, an enemy of Nebuchadnezzar. Naturally, he came | to the wid of Zedekiah. | 4. Zedekiah, when danger threatened; |sent a message to Jeremiah asking him to pray God to save the king and people. 5. When Jeremiah was _arrested charged with deserting to the Chal-| deans, he was placed in an underground | cell. This was excavated in the rocks‘} and rescmbled a cistern. Later, he was placed in the dungeon of Malcija similar cell, damp, foul and littered with refuse . 6. Ebed-melech, the Ethiopian, was a eunuch in the household of the king. Eunuchs guarded the harems, and it is possible that women of the household observed the imprisonment of Jeremiah and told the Ethiopian. 7. Ebed-melech interceded with Ze kiah and secured the release of Jere- miah. He went to the dungeon, low- ered new clothing to the prophet, and lifted him by ropes from the cell. 8. Following Jeremiah's release from prison, he was kept under guard in the court. 9. When Jerusalem fell, Nebuchad- nezzar gave Jeremiah his choice of re- maining in Judah or coming to Baby- lon. The prophet chose to remain in his native land. 10. The end of Jeremiah is legendary. Some say he was stoned to death by the Jews, whom he accompanied to Egypt, because of his utterances. Others declare that he escaped from Egypt to Babylon, where he died a natural death. | | | Affirms Stephan’s Action in Asking | 'BUSINESS CLUB URGES | "NATIONAL GUARD HOME Pensions Office Building for Armory. | Affirming action by Gen.

ANSON PHELPS STOKES, Canon of Washington Cathedral. We live in a democracy where, fortunately, there is and can be no State Church. This leads some pecple to the impression that the church does not play any large spiritual part in Amer- ican thought and life; but this is a superficial observation. We have just seen a change of administration, when a President, who was a regular attendant at way to a President who attends a Quaker Meeting House. a transition is entirely consistent with our traditions. a Congregational Church, gives Such As one goes back over the succession one finds a series of Presidents— Methodist, Episcopalian, Presbyterian and members of other communions—but they have been without exception men who have appreciated and, with a tively identified with church life. the vital importance of religion, few exceptions, have been ac- In this respect America differs from some of the demccracies of Europe, where, unfortunate- ly, to be a “practicing” Catholic or a church-going Protestant is considered a disqualification for public office. Another fact is very striking in connec- tion with our Presidents, and that is that, although devoted members of their own particular branch of the Christian Church, they have DR. A. P. STOKES. we are to establish the Kingdom living in keeping with their unity, in which our generation erent temperaments. But the rovide for different Kinds of services to mect almost invariably been most tolerant regarding all churches which pro- fess belief in God and the desire to know and_serve Him, whether through Roman Catholic, Protestant or Jewish organizations. We have in these facts an illustration of the truth that if of God in this werld—and that means the rule of peace and good will and justice, with all men divine birthright—it must be through the loyalty. of each individual to some organization which makes the bringing in of the kingdom its major objecct, and at the same time through the breadth of sympathy which demands the co-operation of men and women of many different points of view and temperaments. that one man finds the simple worship of the Quakers, ancther the elaborate ritual of the Roman Catholics, of the greatest spiritual advantage. That is why the movement toward church ‘We must frankly recognize is rightly so interested, must the needs of dif- point I wish to emphasize is that we should all combine loyalty to some definite institution with a spirit of generous appreciation of and co-cperation with all men of good will who are seeking the highest welfare of their fellow men. The recent International Confcrence on Missions at Jeru- salem has emphasized the fact that cne of the principal strug- gles which face the world today is between the religious and spiritual forces on the one hand and the purely secular and materialistic forces on the other. This should mean that every man should find some religious organization with which he can conscientiously and actively affiliate himself, and that through the services and activities of this institution he should bath cultivate his own spiritual life and help to bring the Kingdom of God into the world. Fortunately there is an increasing conviction among re- ligicus leaders of all groups, Christian and non-Christian, that the life, teachings and ersonality of Jesus of Nazareth are at least the most inspiring that the world has known. An orthodox Hindu has recently invited a friend of minc to of Christ for the use of Hindus in India. repare a life Cenfucianists find that His teachings supplement the ethical teachings of Con- fucius. Liberal Jewish synagogues are increasingly hearing His ‘Word read and pcinting to Him as an outstanding spiritual lcader of the Jewish peeple. My hope is that the Christian Church may appeal more to men and women as an institution with which they wish to identify themselves, quite irrespective of their oc- cupation or major interest; for in spite of its limitations, due to man’s narrowness and lack of vision, it has been and is the one organization that in all parts of the world and in all the centuries since, the Christian era began has had the inspiring program of making Jesus Christ and His religion of love to Historically it can, I think, be E;oveq——as President Butler stated at the opening of the new uvain Library—that the State, the Church and the University have been the principal factcrs in the development of our West- ern civilization. That means that government, religion and edu- cation are three things in which every citizen should take an God and man known to all. active interest.
