One Ruler’s Way of Facing A National Depression An Ancient King Who Thought In Large Terms And Appeaied To Basie Emotions—A Historical, Religious Revival Among The .Jews Os Hezekiah's Day.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Everybody who sits in a watchtower these days observe that people are all thinking in larger terms. The war and the depression have shaken us out of our provincialism. National thinking has increased J Immeasurably, and world thinking' Is not lagging far (behind. View- i points have enlarged, horizons, have widened, sympathies have expanded, communications have increased, Drought in the West becomes the deep concern of the I East. A strike in San Francisco (agitates the entire United States. What Is going on in Japan and Ger. many stirs the whole world. Events 1 in Austria set civilization's nerves : a-quiver. Dimly, the people are coming to I understand that what affects any > of us also affects all of us; and that the whole is but the sum of all : if its parts. What the physicians i call "local treatment" cannot cure' the ills of the body politic. Effective remedies must deal with the I entire system. That is why the Uni-1 ted States and Canada, and nations I abroad, are handling the unem-; ployment and relief problem on a 1 federal scale. Old King Hezekiah, who began to reign over Judah more than' seven hundred years before the! birth of Christ, was well aware of' this big. basic truth. So our new-1 est ideas are not so new after all. Hezekiah saw unrest and disaster, abroad in Israel and Judah. The | Northern Kingdom had already I suffered the early incursions of the I Assyrians—a movement that was to grow until soon the whole na- 1 tion of Israel would be taken into exile. "The times were out of joint." Economic and social distress had developed from the abandonment of the ancient integrities of life. Religion bad been debased and idolatry iiad becomD prevalent. As always, a slump in morals and in prosperity had followed the loss of spiritual ideals.. Doing Something About It No cracker-box wiseacre was Hezekiah, grumbling footlessly a-1 bout what somebody else ought to do. He was a king and a leader. His sense was sound. So he saw that a mighty wave of national awakening was necessary to cure a multitude of evil local conditions. "The rising tide lifts all ships.” For the task before him no ordinary laws or edicts would suffice. Only a great surge of religious sen. timent —one of inanliind’s master motives —could avail to raise the Chosen People to their former lev. el of life. Super-statesmanship was shown by this ancient sovereign in thus harnessing heaven to >levate earth. He knew that people are ruled by their emotions; and that the religious emotion is mightiest of all. Hezekiah had never heard of "mass psychology," but his judgment and observation told him that if he could get the people as a whole stirred up to do their religious duty all that was wrong would be made right. A religious ' revival has cleaned up many a community more effectively than the 'police could do. It was a spiritarousal that had made the Jews a nation; so the king sought to enlist the same force in a remarking them, as he called for a pan Jewish Passover celebration in Jerusalem. He knew the tug which an appeal to national hiSiory makes upon the normal heart. On A Large Scale It was a master stroke to extend the call to backsliding Israel to the North. Probably the invitation ' would be accepted by some; but many faithful souls would answer and his own (people would be stirred by the thought of a revival religious solidarity. Doubtless pioi all communities in the United ' States and Canada will hold National Recognition Day celebrations for Sunday School Teachers, on October 6, but the vastness of the project will be felt by those which do observe the day. Hezekiah'S comprehensive invitation set the ancient feelings of religious and national solidarity to coursing • **»**»»» * ******** • The International Sunday School Lesson for September 9 is:—“Hezekiah Leads His Peo. pie Back To God."—ll Chron.

through the hearts of the Hebrews everywhere. From crag-crested Dan on the north to desert-level Beersheba on i the south, courrlers of the king 'carried the invitation to everybody to copie to Jerusalem and I keep the Passover as of old. Even I now we may imagine the excite- ; ment in every walled town and i wayside village, as tile king's menI senger read the royal rescript. Here was sometliing to talk about. As a feat of propaganda, the king's purpose and edict was a success. The Mysterious Tunnel Every now and again I run across j the notion, especially among mod. jern young people who have been ; through high school, that the Bible ;is only a collection of old fables, I with no historical foundation, and 1 so no longer to be taken seriously I by intelligent persons. Yes; that is ( how “dumb" a host of persons are iin these wide-awake days;’’ alI though their ignorance entitle them only to pity, tinged with conI tempt. Let us tarry for a moment with i King Hezekiah, to nail this be- , nightedness. Hezekiah was as real ja man as Roosevelt; and his story i is documented by contemporary reI cords of the Assyrians and the Hebrews. One of his works stands ' today a marvel and mystery of achievement, baffling the wisest ( modern engineers. When Jerusa- ! lem was menaced by Sennacharib. ! and the city's sole water supply | threatened, Hezekiah ordered a ! tunnel dug to caiTy the water to I what later was called the Pool of I Siloam, within the old city walls. The workmen began at both ends ! simultaneously, and for unknown reasons, followed a serpentine course, and met in the middle, with the grade exactly right for the flow of the water. It still runs today; an the oldest Hebrew inscription extant, cut by the workmen into the wails of the tunnel to commemorate the feat, may be seen in the museum in Istanbul, j This is only one of scores of dra- | matic archaeological corroborations of the authenticity of the i Bible record. It was a very much alive, flesh-and-blood Hezekiah whose statesmanship and religious leadership we s’udy in tlie present Lesson. Times may change, and civilizations collapse, but human nature, and its need for Gud, continue the same. Down To Date While our Lesson tale is on in. terest as a vivid historical event of twenty.six hundred years ago, it is of most importance as a monition for today. In a time of national crisis, we may well follow Hezekiah's example, as many living voices are calling upon us to do. We need to get back to first principles and to the master motives. A new spirit in all the people alone can effect the results which we seek. On the lowest political and economic basis, a revival of religion is indicated as our basic need. As Hezekiah's eloquent letter laid down the proposition it was simply this: “Jehcvah your God is gracious and merciful, and will not' turn His face from you, if ye re- i turn unto Him. There we have an enduring platform of recovery. A popular religious awakening will change all I things that need to be changed. It will straighten out crookedness in finance and politics. It will rees- ; tablish the Christian virtues in the home, and in social relationships. It will purify the motion pictures, | the stage and the gutter press. It 1 will abate the crime menace and ■ solve the liquor question. It will fertilize the barren thinking of our young people. It will set people to living at their best, instead of at 1 their worst, it will recognize the sovereignty of the Lord over all I of life. Hezekiah’s plan succeeded, as' will any sincere modern duplica- 1 tion of it.

HARRY A. DEFERRARI Personal identification by name. Various requests have been received from readers concerning the name systems of early races. Originally and with all races per. sons were given but a single name. As long as men lived in small and isolated communities there was but little danger of confusion in the use of single names. Whenever the possibility of such confusion did arise, however, it was general, ly a simple matter to further identify a person by mentioning the name of his father. The mentioning of the father’s name together with the personal name constitutes the earliest common double name system However, in some cases early races we find that the identity of a 'person was sometimes made doubly clear by men- ' tioning a personal characteristic. Thus, together with such Biblical names as "Simon Barjonas" (that is, Simon, son of Jonas) and "Joshua, son of Nun” we find the name "Simon the Leper." A third means of double identification was afforded by the use of the name of the place of a man’s birth or residence. Hence, we find such names as “Simon of Cyrene" and "Mary Magdala"). It may be mentioned in passing that the above mentioned three systems of double identification are the commonest systems employed throughout the world, and are the ones which have given rise to most of our family names. However, in Biblical times, as is well known, such second names were not hereditary. Although a few men had second names, their sons began life with only a personal name, and in the great majority of cases that personal name was all that was needed. o NOTICE We have three or four high school girls who desire a place to stay during the school term.
