Creamed comments on the Sunday school lesson. The Southern Kingdom Overthrown, If Kings 24:20b; 25:1-12, tor Sunday, July 24. After the fall of the northern kingdom, the southern kingdom deteriorated internally due largely to unstable. Godless kings. Judah was sandwiched between, the two contending powers of Egypt and Babylon. Judah’s vaccinating kings by the change of loyalties, caused a number of hostile invasions. The last king, Zedekiah, a puppet king of Babylon, was misled by the princes and surrounding weak nations who induced the king to rebel against Babylon, regardless of Jeremiah's warnings. V. 20. “Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.'* King Zedekiah put bis trust in the walls surrounding Jerusalem which he thought were impregnable material forces, _V.I. “And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came, he, and his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about" So important was this date that it is repeated elsewhere in the Bible. Judgment of God had been on the way but now the clock struck the hour. The fall of a nation must end with the overthrow of the goverhment which here was within the walls of Jerusalem. V. 2. “And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of King Zedektah.” It was necessary to literally starve the people living inside the walls of Jerusalem. Other writers tell of the terrible time of starving; even mothers killed their babies tor food. V. 3. “And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was nd bread tor the jteople of the land." Jeremiah informed the king that it was wise to surrender, without a fight and make the best of a bad situation and as a result, he should live. Destinies are determined by choices. V. 4. “And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate be-

Discussion questions on the Sunday school lesson, The Southern Kingdom Overthrown, for Sunday. July 24th. 1 1. How should one decide when he must choose between twb evils? 2. What was the central flaw in Zcdekiah's character? 3. To what extent does our generation share in this weakness? 4. What constitutes false security of nations? 5. In what ways are God’s judgments seen today? Lesson Prayer: Lesson prayer: We pray tor those inner bulwarks of the soul, faith, hope. love, that are the only fortifications that will hold. We ire grateful that Thou are the rock of our salvation and that all things are possible with God. Reverence is a mark of character.

tween the two walls, which is by ths king's garden; and the king went by the way to the plain.” The wicked attempt to flee when the judgment of God is teredV. 5. “And ths army of ths Chaldees pursued after the king and overtook him in ths plains of Jericho; and all his army w-as scattered from him." Even the king's body-guard abandoned him, thus leaving him defenseless. The king had lost his status with God so in time of need he could not call on Him for help. V. 6. “So they took the king, and brought him up to the King of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.A. zedekiah could expect no mercy after his obstinate rebellion. The publican cried, "Have mercy on me a sinner.” To find no mercy, makes lodgment a terrible experience. V.7. “And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with totters of brass, and carried him by Babylon." It is no light matter to endure the pangs of just judgment. Both kings of Judah and Babylon were, wicked and knew not God and they could not trust each other. Evil forces are not in harmony with each other for long. V.B. “And ii the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzarandan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem.” There was to be a final reckoning in JerusalemV. 9. “And he burnt the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man’s house burnt he with fire.” This was the final captivity and it was complete. Here is the subject of the lesson fulfilled.. The walls which were supposed to be an absolute protection were destroyed, as stated tn the next verse. V.ll. “Now the rest of the people that were left In the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan. the captain of the guard, car-, ry away." Here was a prison camp.; Only those in extreme poverty were left behind. A bitter story will come from these leftovers. —Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the Division of Christian Education, National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., and used by permission.

Dr. E. Stanley Jonea eaya that his physical strength has been sustained for many years of strenuous work by the practice of the quiet time and by the sustaining power of the Lord. All men need such a rest and it is found in the public service of worship. The music of the church inspires and aids in relaxation and rest; the prayers in the church uplift the soul into a new atmosphere of composure and quietness. In giving attention to the sermon, the cares and troubles of the week are laid aside as thoughts are direct-

from that central faith. We do] not believe in many things, but I rather one Person —God. Thus we believe in the Church because for us Jesus Christ is the only Saviour of mankind, and because we are confident that God's Spirit brings the very life of Christ to btrth in believers that through them Christ may live and speak and redeem. • ■ 1 Religion is as Important to the physician as is a knowledge of physiology and therapies, the president of the American Medical Association declared at the fourth annual "Campus Conference on Religion” held at the University of Toledo, a municipal institution.

ed away from them. In Christian fellowship, there is produced a momentum for communion with God, and in this experience this promise may be realized, "The Lord is a very present help in time of trouble." In attending church, one becomes more socially minded and there is an increased intereat in others and a love for our neighbors. Not to attend church means one is spiritually poor. Why not accept the invitation and come to church next Sunday? —The Rev. D. Carl Yoder.
