But it is cprtain• . that if you look at night in, the dir- ection 'of. the Milky Way you, are' ge`zing through the cloud and .,the, Stars you see arie slightly;clmmed 'because of it ' " " 'he Milky Way Itself is wateli- ashaped; a huge.spir+a•1 of 'stars: The cloud .is believed to he watch -Shap.. ed also, •but smaller, like° "a.. watch ".•lYing• within the Milky Way. The earth is known to lie 'about one third of the distance out from cer tre , toward therim •of the Milky Way "watch." That is why, it lies alsoin or along the edge of the in- terior "watch" that •forms the • cloud. ' 6 TRILLION MILES THICK : Dr. Roscoe Stanford, Mt. Wilson astronomer, has 'pieced together a picture of this c'loud', using::faots ga- thered liy ;navy experts in thous-. • ands of 'astronomical observations. He estimates'the cloud to be 000 , million million miles. thick. •` Its length or diameter is unknown. but' presumably `is a large •panel of the 600,000 million million . miles' dist- ance. from .one edge: of the Milky • • Way'to •the other. , Commands , .

In . the world' today. No one has ▪ suffered in modern times as the' Jews have suffered, at the: hands. of other nations; and here . is not • ..only' a prophecy of such Stiffer • ing, but •a passage of wonderful hope, promising a time, when. these ' : sufferings will. be over, and a per-• rod when., these people will come • back to God and have. a kingdom, in which , joy and • peace' will abourid.' •• , The •namo, • Micah was, not an' uncommon :one among the He brews ,it,means "Who: is like Je•- hovah?" Micah . was a simple countryman; born of obscure par- I •entage in' an otherwise 'unknown' • village. Micah,, as his' prophecy shows, was ,in closest'.touch and, synipathy with the .class ,of yen - men whose wrongs he so graph- icall•y describes,' • Premise :of -the.

At such a crisis Mi- cah appeared, and :,attempted to call -the nation ' back \ to God and to duty.. a • 4: 1.

And many nations' shall go and say, Come ye, and let us :go- up to the mountain :of Jehovah, and to' the house of the ' God of Jacob; and he will teat i us of his ways, ,and we will walk ,in his paths. Foto out of Zion shall go -forth the law, • and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem: 3. and ' he,will judge between many peples; :and. will decide: concern- ing strong nations 'far off: arid they shall beat their swords into plowshares; and their spears into pruning -hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neith- er shall they learn war •any more. 4.

The /mounmountain of the house of Jehovah tain the temple mountain,-Moriah, here ,considered as part of Zion. Zion is the source -of the law and word of the Lard, from 'which the' nations draw instruction how to walk in the ways c£ God, to make it their own, •take it to their homes, 'and walk, according to it. • every Man Under God 5. For all the peoples walk ev- ery one in' the name of his- god; and we will walk in the name of Jehovah our God for ever and ever. A man's gcd is what rules his practical life; it is that whiih shapes 'and orders our lives. Fur- thermore, the worshipper will re- semble his god " in character. Everywhere around us the people are walking every one in the name ,of his god. ' The beautiful 'picture Micah , •draws of the coming . kingdoin finds striking parallels in the pro- phecies of his •great contemporary Isaiah ,(2: 1-5; 11: 142). Here we have almost every -longing of the human. heart .down through all the centuries satisfied — a ulna, versal worship .of the Lord, alis„ solute righteousness in' judgment, abiding peace, perfect security of person and property. When will this kingdom be established? Two Clauses of Mieah's seem to indi. cate ,clearly. that the kingdom here spoken of will not be established until Stale end of the age, which has by no means yet• arrived. 5: 2.
