Laipd (St. Marys Journal-Argus) We passed Hitler’s barge, headquarters during a recent rev­ olution, .simply peppered with swas­ tika lags, and as we came to Bingen on the Rhine and saw the celebrat­ ed Mouse-Tower rise to sudden view on its little island, our Nazi friend kept telling uis of the wonders of the New Germany, of the blending of present and historic past. Then, with a swift salute and a “Heil, Hit- our his risen J? a ilk plaee had an atmosphere, not another was a bulle- ler!” he left us - to continue journey. The moon had long since above the poplars on the left of the Rhine when we streamed un­ der the great bridge at Mainz and docked at Wiesbaden. A huge crowd milled about us and the excited “election-night” What was this? Surely revolution! But yonder tin posted, a knot of people stand­ ing around, smiling crooked smiles. Dolfuss shot! Pleased, were they? We came to Wiesbaden after night had fallen and were whisked off again in the morning. We scarcely caught a glimpse of that famed pleasure resort, yet it left an indel­ ible imprint on the memory. As some one expressed it, we were right “in the current of events.” Old Heidelberg No one knew just what was going to happen next, to Germany or to us, but we left next morning for Heid­ elberg nevertheless. This felt indeed like adventure! “The*' Student Prince” certainly has things idealized, or was it that Heidelberg died a natural death a couple of centuries ago? The Univer­ sity is neither beautiful nor in good condition. A more ramshackle set of buildings never before met the eye. Rich in history, it is, but in nothing else. We visited the college prison where offending students have been confined and fed on bread and water throughout the years; E'ach prisoner has left the story of this stay there painted in brilliant colors shines door. The in need of paint stamped with a look of poverty, but signs of neatness and industry are everywhere. Not an available inch of land i,s left idle.

Bismark’s face out from the back of the houses in the town are badly What, No War? We walked down the centre of the main istreet at the height of noon and no cars passed us.

The region is given over chiefly to mixed farming the women all working in the fields white scarfs drawn about their heads. Here the ox-team plods its homely way, and you feel as if the centuries have rolled back and left you standing in the Middle Ages, till a car shoots past you on the high­ way, and the spell is broken. The Cathedral truly is marvellous one of the loveliest Gothic edifices there are to he seen. Its spire, so tall that it rises higher, seemingly, than the surrounding hills, is yet of such dedicate stone and ironwork that appears, as the daylight sifts through it, to be made of black lace. All the narrow and ancient streets of the town lead to the marketplace before the Cathedral door. People come here to .trade from all over the Black Forest a good many im their native costume. Old crones sit jealously guarding their wares and schoolgirls in long yellow braids and severe back dresses carry away bas­ kets. of meat and vegetables. A pic- turesquei .but very sober scene. The inhabitants of this part of Germany are so would colors. devoutly religious that they not dream o£ wearing bright The Black Forest The Black Forest isn’t really black at all; the trees are green, mostly coniferous; the grass is green. It is only that the trees are so tall and so close together that they produce the illusion of blackness impene­ trable. They make you think immed­ iately of the witch in the fairy rale who lived in a dark wood, of all the gnomes, charcoal-burners and wood­ cutters who might be found there. This is where the come from, too. The houses in this part country have a very wide and squat­ ty appearance because the roofs jut out so far on both sides. The oxen and crows occupy the ground The family reach the second where they live by an outside way, and spend their leisure on an upper balcojy behind flower­ boxes. This type of dwelling, very similiar to the Swiss chalet, is to be seen all along the Swiss-German border. We picnicked by a lake in the heart of the Forest and then drove on between the valley of the Rhine and the valley of the Danube to Lake Constance. There, on its beau­ tiful shores, our tale ends. back in stories of the' floor. floor stair- li ours nature, and God is unchanging and eager to welcome andforgive and re­ store all who turn to Him. God’s people, Israel and Judah, had wandered far away from him. The father of King Hezekiah, his predecessor on the throne Abaz, had led the people in idolatry, immoral­ ity, and “the abomination of the heathen, whom the Lord had cast out before the Children of Israel.’’ The record of Abaz was a shameful one, and so was that of his nation, and God had to bring them into a place of humiliation and suffering before their enemies. Then young Hezekiah came to the throne, at 25 years of age. ‘And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that David, his father, had done.” He began well, for in the very first month of the first year of his reign he “opened the doors of the house of the Lord and repaired them.” People are ready to stand by a new ruler, when he takes his response bilities seriously, and a good start means everything. The young King called upon God’s appointed representatives, the priests and the Levites, and asked them -to work with him in leading the nation back to God. Honestly and unspar­ ingly he confessed the sins of the nation and he showed that this was the reason why God had been deal­ ing severely with them all. The royal proclamation made by Hezekiah in the beginning of his reign, given in the chapter before this lesson chap­ ter is a notable national document, which nations and rulers today would do well to take to heart. There was no white-washing of national sins,, no evading of responsibility. And, said the King, “It is in, mine heart to make a covenant with the Lord God of Israel.” The response was quick and com­ plete. Priests and Levites set to work “to cleanse the house of the Lord,” for it had fallen into neglect and uncleanness. After- this first move had been made, and a report had been brought to the King that “we have cleansed all the house of the Lord,” King and priests and people went forward to-obey God’s law as to temple wor­ ship, The blood sacrifices of animals offered as God had commanded long before, “and they made reconcilia­ tion with their blood upon the altar to make atonement for all Israel.” There followed music and rejoic­ ing—< this is always the way. No people can know the real meaning of true joy until they are doing God’s will. Musical instruments sounded with their glad notes, “and all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang and the trum­ peters sounded: and all this contin­ ued until the burnt-offering was finished.” King and people bowed themselves before God in true wor­ ship. It does not take long to do what God wants us to do and we read that “Hezekiah rejoiced and all the people, , , . or the thing was done suddenly.” Now comes the heart of the lesson in the chapter before us Hezekiah sent royal letters throughout all Is­ rael and Judah, “that they should come to the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, to keep the passjver un­ to the Lord God of Israel,” The pass- over was that blood sacrifice or­ dained of God the night he brought the Israelites out of their bondage in Egypt, when H-a passed through the land of Egypt to bring the aw­ ful judgment of death upon all the first-born there. The Israelites were to take a lamb without blemish, one for each family or household and slay it, and put the blood over each doorway. For God had declared: “And the blood shall he to you a, token upon the houses where ye are and when I see the blood I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.” The observance of the passover, which had -been continued by Israel at first, had been neglected and ig­ nored, and its restoration by Heze­ kiah marked the real spiritual re­ vival of the nation, (For the passover was a symbol or type of “the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” and stood for God’s plan of redemption whereby Jost sinners could be saved, through the shed blood and death of his only Son, Jesus Christ, 'Some eight centuries after Hezekiah’s time, Christ him­ self ate the passover supper with his disciples the night before He, himself, the passover Lamb, was sacrificed on the cross for the sins of the world, Hezekiah’s royal proclamation and invitation to the nation was accepted gladly by most of the people. A strange note of unbelief and rebell­ ion however, is heard as we read that two of the tribes, Ephriam and Manasseh, when the messengers from the King came to them, “laughed them to scorn and mocked them.” Except for this it was a nation­ wide revival and return to God in true worship and repentance. The altars of false gods that were in» Jerusalem were broken down and1 destroyed and God was given his rightful place. Such blessing came to Israel then as can come to any nation only when it turns to seek’ God with the whole heart. German people To"(lay Four days among the German people; what did we see? Not a single mendicant; no one in rags, no one undernourished-looking. A great many men and women had a bewildered and unhappy air about them, but the majority appeared to be enjoying life thoroughly. Three adjectives may best describe them: patient, placid, pleasant. There was no sign of hostility toward us—Cur­ iosity, perhaps, 'but no more. They seemed glad to see people from an­ other country and were ready to please in whatever way they might. And the cooking . .! The meat was always done beautifully, the pota­ toes never served the same , way dessert tasty and attractive. The women went about without stockings and without made-up. For the most part, they wore their hair in u boyish cut. What an interesting contrast, their tawny skins and tow hair! Never a nicer-looking lot of people, except in Canada, of course.
