Remember The World War
Now that Britain and France have declared
against Germany there rises again the spectre of
World War. In the minds of every mother and father
the dread that their sons will he called upon to shed
blood to satisfy the greed of a crazed dictator.
Those of us who were In the last war have declared
over and over that our sons will not he allowed to shed
their blood as did our comrades who rest under the poppies
of Flanders Field. Yet today that declaration is resting
on uneasy minds.
Recent news dispatches, before the declaration of
war, have done much to increase the uneasiness. An As
sociated Press dispatch stated that after Daladier had sent
a message to Hitler “he then conferred at once with
American Ambassador William C. Rullitt.” On another
occasion this same agency said: “Within ten minutes the
American Ambassador was closeted with his close friend,
the premier, in the War ministry.”
On the other hand Ambassador Kennedy is in fre
quent consultation with British government officials in
London. One gathers from reading the news dispatches
that neither the French or the British officials take any
important step without consulting the American ambas
sadors. The conferences of Ambassador Kennedy with the
British officials are almost as frequent and lengthy as if
he were actually a member of the British cabinet.
While it is the duty of the ambassadors to
President Roosevelt informed of developments at such a
critical time one gathers from the news dispatches that the
ambassadors to France and Britain are not only being told
of each development as it occurs during the international
crisis hut are being asked for and are giving advice.
Many fear that the ambassadors may be committing
the United States to assist France and Britain should that
assistance become necessary. Recent events in Paris and
London recall the World War days when France and
Britain were using all their arts of persuasion and un
truthful propaganda to draw tjie United States into the
World War on the sideof the Allies, which they * finally
succeeded in doing.
The American people should remember what hap
pened to them after they had made sacrifices for their
good friends in Europe who were ostensibly fighting to
make the world safe for democracy. The American
people should remember that the Allies wanted to brigade
American troops with Allied armies, and feed American
soldiers into the ranks to take the places of Allied soldiers;
that Clemenceau and others in authority did everything
they could to break down Pershing’s opposition to their
scheme for robbing the United States of any credit for the
victory the Allies expected to win with American aid.
These same statesmen and soldiers would have succeeded
if they could have had their way with President Wilson.
And after the victory was won, after the world had
been “made safe for democracy,” what happened? Wood
row Wilson’s “just peace” was thrown out of the window
by Fiance, Great Britain and Italy. His “fourteen points”
were brushed aside as the greedy victors divided the spoils
of war and by writing the treaty of Versailles sowed the
seeds of the trouble they are now reaping. The secret
treaties nullified any efforts Mr. Wilson could make at the
peace conference even before the United States entered
the war. Ere long, the United States was being called
“Uncle Shylock.”
But danger threatens again. Once more the United
States is all that is great, and noble and generous. If the
American people must fight another war, let them fight it
for the United States!
Religious Revival Proves Beneficial to City
The religious revival just concluded in Covington has
proven to be a wonderful success. Large crowds attend
ed the meetings and many accepted Christ as their Saviour
and ioined Entire the church of their jiined choice
The community in the meeting, pastors
of all churches cooperating in planning and conducting
fhe revival. The preacher delivered inspiring gospel
mens and the singing was inspirational and splendid m
qua lt> .
Altogether Covington „ . feels , the , uplift such a meeting
always leaves in any community. The value of these
meetings is inestimable and the amount of good it does to
individuals continues with them for the balance of their
natural lives.
We need to turn aside from the things of this
and engage in a Religious Revival that our souls may be
refreshed from the contact and our minds refreshed by
the great Gospel truths which are again brought to our
attention.
Al! connected with the movement are to be sincerely
congratulated on the splendid manner in which it was
planned and executed. They have already received their
reward and the harvest will continue to materialize from
day to day.
The Confederate Reunion
The attention of the entire State will be centered on
Covington during the Confederate Reunion which will be
held here the first week in October, Much favorable
publicity will be given the city and approximately two
hundred visitors will be here for {he occasion.
This is the first time in the history of the organization
that the Children of the Confederacy have
the Veterans and the mother organization, the United
Daughters ,, of the ( onfederacy and j all n other ii organizations .
and the ( ity of Covington and County of Newton are hear
tilv supporting them find rip planning to make 1 this one of
the best Reunions in the history of the organization.
The Confederate Veterans were very much disap
pointed last year .that no city extended them an invitation
to hold Ihir convention ami it was held at the Confederate
(Largest Coverage Any Weekly in the 3tate)
i I Soldiers' Home in Atlanta. They were overjoyed at the
invitation to come to Covington and Governor Rivers has
promised to send the veterans from the home here.
The success of the convention will mean much to these
gallant soldiers who fought for their native Southland and
truly all who assist in any way to make their convention
a success will he fully repaid by the joy they will bring to
j what Let's to many all of put them will best be foot their forward last convention. and show these
our
veterans and the visitors who will come with them the true
hospitable spirit of the City of Covington and the County
of Newton.

have burned to them in the form of
‘hough and allegiance and cast all
the wicked mess into the brooic Kid
ron.
Everybody knew -'here Hezekiah
stood. If everyone in the commun
ity knows where we stand morally,
we shall be respected even by those
who disagree with us.
We are told that they killed the
passover on the fourteenth day of
the second month, "and the priests
and Levite* were ashamed, and
sanctified themselvea, and brought
bi mt-offerings into the house of
Jehovah.”
It is interesting to observe that
the people who first repented were
the priests and Levites. The Church
must always be reformed and
cleansed before it can change the
world. In these days, when the
| world so desperately needs a revival
of th' true religion, we may be very
sure that this revival will never
come unt il the religious leaders —
deluding ministers, church officers,
and Sunday School teachers—take
m oral and spiritual inventory and
are fil,ed with * sense of shame as
th *y review their feeble efforts in
j behalf of God s kingdom,
We should never be discouraged;
God has promised us victory through
Jesus Christ. But we should search
our hearts mightily in these trying
day* and ask ourselves wherein we
have failed the Almighty.
Many people would like to have
sacrifice taken out of religion—the
cross taken out of Christianity—but
revealed religion from the beginning
h.-j been inseparable from the idea
of sacrifice.
There is an interesting reference
here to certain people from the
northern kingdom who did not have
time to make themselves ceremon
ially clean, "vet did eat the pass
over otherwise than it is written.'’
Technically they were violating a
law of God. But their hearts were so
eager to find Jehovah again after
backsliding and trouble that they
decided to eat the passover even
though they were not prepared, cer
emonially, to do so.
The broad - minded Hezekiah
agreed with them. Furthermore, he
prayed, saying, “The good Jehovah
pardon every one that setteth his
heart to seek ... the God of his
fathers, though he be not cleansed
according to the purification of the
sanctuary.” We are told that the
Lord hearken*i to Hezekiah and
healed the people.
What God wants to eager hearts
to seek Him. He is not concerned
about our worth. If we will turn our
i back* on our old gods and sincerely
; seek the one true God the worth of
Jesus Christ will be thrown like a
mantle about our shoulders to cover
un our imperfections.
What these Hebrews had was not
the gay and unbridled joy of the
world. It was a deep spiritual joy. It
lasted through seven day*, yet there
was no revelry; there was continual
singing, but no ribaldry. Here were
people who had found God, for
whom springs of living water had

No wonder th? reign of Hezekiah
was glorious. In sixteen years hit
weak and wicked father, Ahaz, haa
by his policy qf compromise, almost
destroyed the religion of Israel
Hezekiah reigned twenty-nine years
and when he died, nis people were
prosperous and the leiigious life of
the nation had be;n entirely re
neved.
God had caused lis face to shine!
upon his people, and through theii
obedience and faith they had been
saved.

Ahaz'* reign was a series ot mis
takes and compromises. Among oth
er things he p icticatly gave up the
worship of Jehovah, closed the tem
ple and built Jtar* on every street
corner in Jerusalem, offering up sac
ifices to the gods of his enemies.
I- appeared to Ahaz that the way to
be victorious in battle was to get all
these dieties or. hts side. So he for
sook Jehovah and tried to curry fa
vor w'rth the gods both of his ene
mies and of his allies.
I. has a happy day for Judah
when, after sixteer years on the
throne, Ahaz passed away, and his
twenty-five-year-old son, Hezekiah
came to the throne . He had a
irultuous reign, but a glorious one.
Young Hezekiah wa* a godly and
courageous as his father was godless
ar.d weak. Che young king was a
fine mixture of sterling .haracter
and conspicuous va’or. Somebody,
F-rhaps hi* notber Abijah, quite
j evidently influenced his life in the
formative years so that his zeal for
! Jehovah stood out in dramatic cc -
to the indifference of Ahaz.
The first thing Hezekiah did when
he became king was to open the
doors of the temple and have the
priests and Levite* ‘carry forth the
fil‘''ines: out the holy place.”
Soon after this he ordered a great
passover to be held at Jerusalem. He
took care that the priests were cer
emonially clean and that the Jaw of
Moses as regards passovers was
strictly observed. Amazing to re

To these people Hezekiah sent a
friendly message cordially inviting
them to join with their brethren in!
the South in a great passover feast.
He wanted to make this a reconse
cration of all the children of Israel
to their God, Jehovah. But the peo
ple of the North for the most part
laughed Hezekiah's messengers to
scorn and mocked them. "Neverthe
less certain men of Asher and Ma
nasseh and Zebu'on humbled them
. elves and came to Jerusa.em.”

This is being written August 22.
I have just read in the morning pa
pers about the alliance b ‘ween Rus
sia and Germany. Strange things
are taking place *n our modern
world. Many Bible scholars believe
that in the close of this age there
will be a great north ccountry; pos
sibly a combination of Germany and
Russia, one of them having swal
lowed up the other; and a federated
Roman Empire about the Mediter
ranean covering practically the
same territory as the ancient Ro- 1
man Empire. “We are going places'
in our day. The scenes of natioas
are shifting and prophecies are be
ing fulfilled daily before our eyes.
God is on the throne. He is going to
rule over all. Dictators go up and
go down. Wars come and go. Human
movements come in like the tide of
the sea and go out the same way.
God is the same today, yesterday,
and forever.’’ Some day He will put
down human rebellion. Some day

everything will head up in Jesus
Christ our Lord. Christians may have
persecutions in this wicked age.
They may have to suffer in a world
of sin. But Christians always have
safety. God takes care of His own.
Christians may have to travel bloody
roads and sail bloody seas, but they
have a mansion not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens.
Someone said, “The only word I
need to convince me the Bible is
the Word of God is the word
‘Jew'.” The miracle of the ages is
the preservation of the Jew. Every
effort has been made to esterminate
him, but he has never been exterm
inated. He cannot be exterminated
God chose the Jews that through
them He might give the idea of one
God to the world, that He might
have in them a repository for His
truth, and that through them He
might send His son as a Savior. The
Jew was not better than anybody
else when God chase him. The Bibie
teaches that He chooses the weak
things to confound the mighty. God,
who is infinite in His intelligence
ha* had and still has a plan for this
world. The Jews are scattered all-ov
er the earth. They speak every lan
guage and almost every dialect. God
promised their Palestine. They will
eventually get It. According to pro
phecy they will be persecuted when
they get back home. Then, some day

the Messiah will come and deliver
them. The writer has,a Savior who
was a Jew and who, according to
the writer's understanding of the
Word of God, will be the Jewish
Messiah when He comes again. It
Ls wonderful to know that, while one
day with the Lord is as a thousand
years and a thousand years is one
day, God does not forget to keep His
word and when He starts down the
Road of Redemption He completes
His journey. Some day the throb
bing head of this restless world will
be pillowed upon the bosom of our
Lord and the white-winged mes
sengpr of peace will fly over every
clime. We may now be entering the
deep darkness that precedes the
dawn of the glorious day of His
reign.
Everybody has handicaps of some

a struggle. Our bodies constantly
fight disease. We are limited ment

to proper activitiy. We are born, of
course, with spiritual handicaps fo:

know what it means to cry out with

body of death?” The more spiritual
