IL lu covenant against idolatry. 1. lu memory of national lite. This chapter contains the account of Hewn iiiaa's arrangements for the observs awe of the Passover. It was the de- termined and brave attempt of a good Ling. to win again to the worship ef Jerusalem the separated people of "all Israel," as one nation. Wording to the law of Moses, that all the come - gotten ehould eat the Passover. 'rine lied not been dope since the division of the kingdom. The Passover wag such a festival as could be rightly celebrated only by a united people, It was the vivid memorial of an unpres vedented birth of a nation, a inemor- lel of the great deliverance whicO God wrougat for his people from sore bondage tattier circumstances of an extraordinary nature, the outcome and foundation of a revenant, the fore- ebe.dowing of the one eternal Sacri- fice. The celebration of the Passover at such a time suggested to ever Y feel - 'ng and instinct of honest national love, that king, priests and people should live worthy at their origin, that they might raise the fortunes and restore the glory of the nation that had so greatly declined. Hezeltiah Iiielted with sorrow upon the septum, tem of the twelve tribes from the God of their fathers, it was in his heart to take such measures as would re- store them to the faith they had abandoned and to the fever they had lost. He took a very bold and decid- ed course, The letters wlach Ileze- Mah sent throughout the cities of Is- rael contained earnest exhortations to repentance. He urged upon the irk habitants of that distressed laud that .for the strongest reasons they should return from their idolatrous ways and worship the true and living God in his oppointed place in the temple at Jeru- salem. He charged them to dismiss their fears ot being repulsed or east cif. Ile assured them that their re- pentance would Meet with a gracious response from the forgiving Godof their fathers. Seemingty Waal ridi- culed the idea of having to protect themselves from extermination by finding a sovereign in Hezeltiali and a God in Jahovale National pride blind- ed their eyes. • IL In covenant against, idolatryt.. Hezeltiah's serious and generoits tempt to heal old wounds. and restaoariet hrolten friendships, and to bring b to God those estranged from hint was rewarded. Never in any previous reign had there been such a clearance of the instruments of idolatry as oc- curred under Hezekiale. With thor- oughgoing energy and efficiency which allowed no escape, they took away the altars which Ahaz had erected to heathen gods throughout the land. A very interesting and instructive inci- dent occurred in the celebration of the Passover. Allowe.nce was made fol those who had been living in the idol- atrous kingdom of Israel, far from the temple of Jerusalem and without in in the divine law. They had come up to Jerusalem that they might return unto Jehovah their Cod. It was in their hearts to cast off evil practices and to begin a new life of uprightness before God. The purpose et their emits was toward God and his service. Hezeklah'S prayer for the pardon of their irregularity was grant- ed. God saw in them the spirit of obedience. The occasion was certainly fitted to excite gladness, the return of the nation to its allegiance to .Tehovah, .1.t marked a blessed season ot grace tor all Israel wben they forgot all their differences, when they renounced all idolatry, 'when they endeavored to prepare their, hearts for acceptable worship, when they made open and explicit confessions to God. The con- gregation was united, resolute and joyous, Nothing like it had been wit- nessed since the days of Solomon, when the dedication of the temple had been celebrated by a double period of rejoicing. Hezekiah's liberality en- abled the people to prolong the feas1 for another seven days. In turning from the worship of idols to serve the !lying God, the people experieneed an 'nward satisfaction which made them rejoice. T. it. A.

Among other foolishness he kept his code in his pocket, and there- fore knew at the moment that he was arrested that he was a dead man., Otto of the things that led to his detection was the cable censorship, "We had been waraed for years that the country was full ot German spies, but did not Intim it.

"If I may make a suggestion, it is that the AITIOrICOn shOlild take stories about the Farming of submarines with a grain ot salt. Your newspapers have sunk a very large fleet ot submarines during the four weeks I have been here. Every gunner who fires at a perfscope and can see no periscope af- ter the splash of the shell thinks he has sunk a submarine. I will give a little instractive and perfectly true story on this point. A certain man-of- war reported ahat it had fired on a German submarine and sunk it. An English submarine, which was in ex- actly the same location on the same day, reported that it had been fired on by a German battleship and had es- caped it, I fear that these ronstant sinkings of submarines may check American inventive effort, on which the Allies depend. "As to the censorship in general, if instructions are given to newspaper people they themselves form the best censor. Trained news gatherers and presenters of news nee much more in- telligent than the kind of man wile usually drifts into censors' offices. Neither military nor naval men care for the task of censorship. They want to be at Me front or at sea. Judging by my own colleagues in Etiolated, I believe that American newspaper men should be largely trusted to do the censoring, provided, of course, that General Pershing has a system such as has been adopted by General Haig, • who while allowing the utmost free- • dom of correspondents, sees that the despatches are read and examined by oempetent members of his staff. The dangers of misuse of the power of censorship are well known to those who know what' we suffered from the hiding of the truth about the war for the first two Years."

"It makes no difterenee to me whe- there there is German influence be- hind the strike," said the Governor, "The fact is that these strikes are dir- ectly aiding an enemy ofthe United States -Germany-by curtailing the production of copper. "The labor situation in the Globe - Miami district is grave from the fact that two demands have been made upon the operators. one from the In- teanrtional Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers. and another front the Industrial Workern of the World. The strike became effeetivt immedi- ately, closing down every property in the districtaso that to -day there is no production from. a district that. last year produced more than 217,000.000 pounds of copper.

I do not antice nate any violence now, although the situation remains unsettled. I have been advised by the local leaders of the 1. W.
