Golden Text—l will delight myself in Thy statutes; I will not forget Thy word. Psalm cxix.l6. 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 murder, 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 earnestly to avert. Israel’s downfall did not come sud denly. During the period of the na tion's decline the northern kingdom was threatened by Assyrian rulers with at least 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 light 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 a thousand talents of silver to Ttglath-. Pileser IV. "The lord of the Tigris” invaded Gilead. Galilee and Napthall, ravaged the country and deported a large number of their Inhabitants be cause Pekah, King of Israel, had con spired with Resin, King of Syria. 1 against Judah, whose king. Ahaz, had sought assistance of the Assyrians. Hoshca. who was the last ruler of Israel, owed his throne to the in fluence of Assyria. Pul, or Tiglalh- Pileser, was so successful in his mil itary campaigns that he recorded that “Pekah. their king, I put to death, and 1 appointed Hoshea to the sovereignty over them.” The in scriptions that have been buried for centuries tells us who financed and forced to a success 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 th© crash of Israel by attempting to "double cross” Shal amaneser V. When the new king threatened Israel, resistance was in vain, Hoshea agreed to pay him trib ute. The trucc-was of short dura tion. Inspired by the promises of So, or Shabaka, to assist both Judah and Israel against Assyria, Hoshea made a fatal secret treaty with Egypt. When the Assyrians invaded Palestine Egypt failed to keep her word and the downfall of Israel fol lowed. It precipitated a conflict, in which Hoshea was made prisoner, tho land devastated and Samaria suffered the perils, privations and pestilence of a threr-year siege. Samaria's impregnable position made it difficult to capture it by storm. 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 completed their conquest, had passed on to eternity and SaJ*gon, his successor, commenced his successful career by accepting their capitulation. He im posed heavy penalties upon the in habitants and deported 50,000 of their princes and nobility. Within a short time the whole of Israel had come completely under the iron rule of As syria and the nation ceased its ex istence as a political power. From the days of Jereboam. Israel's first king, up to the hour when the last chapter in its national history had been written the northern king dom had been ruled by nineteen kings, who belonged to nine different dynasties. The underlying reason for Israel's downfall and *xiie after about 250 years of history ap pears to have been du© to spiritual and moral causes rather than politi cal and diplomatic blunders. It came as the fruits of the moral degeneracy of the people, which commenced with idolatry. Israel'* Idolatry. Israel s initial sin is pointed out in the portion of the lesson, aligned to be printed, to have been a i,.->ral transgression. In what Dr. McLa.cn JAILBIRD BANQUET CAUSES BAD FEELING Attacks of Convicts on Police, Judges and Missions Stir Resentment. Bt Consolidated Press. LOS ANGELES, May 3.—The ban quet given by Chief Vollmer, the fancy cop imported to command tho Los Angeles police, to the prisoners in the Lincoln Heights jail has pass ed into tradition of that institution as th© “last supper.” The jailbirds leveled their shafts of oratory against the courts, the judges, the prosecuting officers, the Salvation Army and the Midnight Mission and stirred up bitter resent ment ali around against this latest experiment 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 Double Purpose. Chief Vollmer's idea had a double purpose—to celebrate for the inmates themselves the opening of tho nice new jail that has no bars or keys and to determine from the speeches of the crooks themselves the origin of crime. 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 not snitch even on crooked po lice, Vollmer’s master of ceremonies was “FTisco Tommy.” who told his hear ers that he had been inside of more jails than there were dollars 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-thc-well. Refused to “Snitch.” Johnny Jumper, a youth with a Valentlfto make-up, proved the code of the underworld early In the pro ceedings. “X never trusted tho cops,” said Johnny. “I never had to. 1 had a superior quality of goods I was sell ing to an exclusive trade. You got me because ray 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 >pu only confiscate three?”- • Vollmer was interested. He got up THE EVENING STAB. WASHINGTON. D. C., SATURDAY. MAY 3. 1924. 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 from walking in the paths of Jehovah. They had pretended to formally wor ship Him. but it was only a veneer covering their idolatry that had been going on more or less for three hun dred years. During that tlma “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 unUl their moral 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 effort to check their moral and spiritual downfall. They rejected the proph ets and the seers, who tried to per suade them to repent of their folly, return to the Lord and walk tn 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 emi 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 thejx iniquity is seen In the fact that they not only adopted the local heathen practices, but they imported foreign pagan faiths until, in their heartless ness, they stood before the great man headed ox, with outstretched arms heated to a red heat, and, amidst the wailing cries of their infant children, they cast their helpless offspring Into his outstretched arms, to be carried thence into th© flames raging In his fiery inside. The nation had sold themselves to sin and were serving the pagan gods in place of Jehovah, until the Lon? in His displeasure im posed upon them the penalty of their individual and national sin, when He permitted them to be exiled into As syria. where they became forever lost as a nation. Their captivity confirmed the words of tho 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 Jero boam until her Identity as a nation became completely destroyed, wc 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. AI! men and nations are sub ject to Him. All history is the reve lation of His purpose. The Psalmist caught the correct Interpretation- Some (rust in chariots and some in horses. But we will make mention of the name of Jehovah, our God. There comes 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 obedient to His com mands and keep His covenants. There is a lesson In retributive jus tice that is seen in Israel's exile to Assyria. 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. Jehovah 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 literature has been de stroyed or disappeared amidst buried libraries and ruins. While the truths that the prophets proclaimed were never accepted by Israel, and conse quently never realized In her history, yet they hAf molded Judah and the life of humanity. They enjoy im mortality and warn America todav. If we fail to be loyal to the Lord in meeting th© social, political, eco nomic and religious crisis that we are facing today. He will treat us a-a He did ancient Israel. If 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—“l will delight myself in Thy statutes: I will 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 oa Coart>. Fire on the courts and the prosecu tors. which extended to the Midnight Mission and the Salvation Army lodg ing houses, which were denounced as breeding places 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, followed up, say ing that "our judges are in a rut and possess only one-track minds” and that “they convict by formula.” *Th© 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 prtsoneis.

REFERENDUM* FAVORS PSALMS OVER HYMNS Vote of United Presbyterian Church, 659 to 625, But Com plication Is Reported. By the Assess ted Press. PITTSBURGH, Pa.. May 3.—Mem bers of the United Presbyterian Church in seventy presbyteries have voted to continue singing psalms only, according to figures published, here in the United Presbyterian. Those voting in favor of psalms numbered 659. while 525 voted to in clude hymns. ~ Church leaders said the ballot was so complicated that probably the general assembly, to be held in Richmond. IruJ., beginning May 28, would simplify the questions in volved and order a new vote taken. Fifty-eight American presbyteries gave a slight majority for hymns, but this was offset by the heavy vole for psalms only in eleven foreign presbyteries. A large majority was given the revised article of faith, but the preamble, giving the new creed precedence over the Westminster con fession and other creedal documents, was rejected, 611 to 692.
