AjjMan In Troubled Time Who Did Something About It Page From Ancient History Reads Strangely Like Record of Our Own Times Assyria’s Might Thwarted Ry Israel’s Faith In Jehovah.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS It ha, taken um wuild war, and the threat of another to awak'-n i North America to a real interest in international affair,. Wd now think we are .mart and progiv.,live. liecauae of the veueet us gen- ‘ era! knowledge we have auddenly acquired. In cuutraat, the people, of Bible laiuda twenty-five hundred year, ago. and ever since, have been keenly aware of event, and tendencies aiuougst the great tut- | tious To thia day. the men ot an I average Syrian village arc better ' Informed upon the character aud purpose, of the great nations th.ru many au American woman s club. I, learned moat of the essential things that I know about the European nations while working iu Bible La, nd,. it was even ao iu Isaiahs day The plans ot Assyria, Egypt. Ethiopia. Persia. Arabia. Philistia and the other uatkius of the time were an uppermost concern of the Hebrews. International entanglements continually threatened Israel and Judah Ancient Isolationists This the prophets and far-see-ing tort riots recognised as a menace. They coqteuded that the Jews should trust wholly iu Jehovah and i live their own life. Voder His proI tection. and m obedience to His I law. they would find security and a full and distinctive life for themselves. if present-day legislators knew ibeii Bibles belter, we should be hearing many au apposite quotation from the Old Testameut | prophets iu the halls ot government. • All the world is bettor tor every one who la living at bis best." I runs a quotation This is equally true of nations. Just as a man does his greatest service to his time by developing his owu personality and I cfflcient y. so a nation, true to high ' esl so« lai ideals and io Its own iuj dependence, makes a greater con- , iribution to international welfare I than any imperialist power. The I case of the Scandinavian countries is a present case iu point. Iliskory , is one long tiMituote upon the truth |of Isaiah's teaching Had the Jews i been loyal to Jehovah, their record j as a people would have been a clor- ' tously different one. A Circle of the Concerned ! These are days for modern IsaI lahs. tour bed to the Very depths I ot their being by the plight of the I world The theme demand, pro- < louud study. There are too many I groups who are making a fad of ] being ••Interested’’ in foreign ass > air,. What we uevd. in a deiu<H raIcy. is 'hat a large group of alert i persons should be brave enough to ! think through to the roots of humanity's contemporary plight men and women who. like the prophet, of old. will perceive the essential relationship of It all to find ' I have envisioned groups of con- ■ lerued laymen, perhaps originating in adult Bible classes, who will get together. Without puldie notice, to pray over and to talk over these times. Their only platform would bo. "I am eoinerued for the state of the world and of the Church.” Such circles would rea« h out for fellowship and help to other circles, and in time w« might have a National f'tmfereme of Coneeriied Laymen, to which the government would listen Thia is no day to relegate thinking ti|sm gtavcat themes to the professionals and the politician. There are a multitude of men of vision In the land who are not adequately functioning. A Forth-Telling Patriot If ever circles of Concerned la»yturn get going there will be a deal of reading of thia nugnlfli'ctit hook of Isaiah We do nut knew much about the author's early personal history, save that his lather's name was Amos. Critics contend that at least two writers are responsible for the bia'k When that f<M>tleaa question comes up.

and a leader of the people, Isaiah { was primarily a tcmhlug prophet, IU routrast with Elijah who was a > man of action.

Os these are the preacher, who go into the doubtful business of ' practical ' reform and other-hold mg Other,, more retiring, seek to know the vital truths tor the times and to give them ulterauce. for the comfort of men's I souls aud for tbc guldamr of their I conduct. Isaiah was of this latter j class.
