JUDAH’S LAST DAYS
International Sunday School
Lesson for June 15, 1947
Golden Text: “The fear of
the Lord prolongeth days; but
the years of the wicked shall
be shortened.”—Proverbs 10:
27. Lesson Text: Jeremiah 36:
2-3; 28-31; II Kings 24: 1-4.
Josiah was the last great and
good king of Judah. It was a
sad day for Judah and the young
prophet of God, Jeremiah, when
the king who had done all he
could to lead the people of his
kingdom back to the worship of
Jehovah was brought home from
the battle of Megiddo dead in
his chariot. Four cruel and
treacherous men followed him
as kings and quickly carried Ju
dah into the maelstrom of re
bellion against Babylonia, As
syria’s successor to world supre
macy. God used the strong hand
of Nebuchadnezzar to wield the
heavy rod of chastisement to
Judah.
The last of the line of kings
of Judah before its downfall was
Jehoiakim, who was the puppet
of Necho, the Egyptian ruler who
had* conquered Palestine. Ne
cho’s glory did not last long,
however, for he was defeated by
Nebuchadrezzar. Egyptian pow
er over Palestine was not at an
end and Jehoiakim had to sub
mit to Nebuchadrezzer as his
overlord. After three years, he
foolishly rebelled against Baby
lonia and soon the army of Ne
buchadrezzer came to lay siege
to Jerusalem, but before it was
finally conquered, Jehoiakim
died and his son, Jehoichin, as
cended to the throne. He reigned
only three months, however, be
fore the fall of Jerusalem and
he was carried away into capti
vity with about 8,000 of the lead-

ing citizens of the kingdom,
among whom was Ezekiel, the
prophet.
Zedekiah was then made king
by Nebuchadrezzer, under oath
to be subsevient to the Baby
lonians. After seven or eight
years, Zedekiah made a treas
onable pact with Hopra, king of
Egypt, and, in 588 8.C., Nebuch
adrezzer, angered by his faith
lessness, began the second seige
of Jerusalem. In 585 B. C. it fell
into his hands and he destroyed
it, leaving the temple a black
ened heap and the city a mass
of blackened ruins.
Dean Stanley declares that Jo
siah was the last royal hero of
Israel, and, with his death, the
history of the Jewish monarchy
might end were it not for one
great event and one great per
son who still remained—the fall
of Jerusalem and the prophet,
Jeremiah. Jeremiah traveled up
and down the land, warning the
people that they were disobey
ing God. While the priests and
the prophets and all the people
heard Jeremiah, they disregard
ed his utterances and persecut
ed him in every possible way, fi
nally putting him in prison.
Unable to present his message
to them in person, Jeremiah
called his secretary, Baruch, and
dictated his warnings to him,
who wrote them down on scrolls.
These writings were taken by
Baruch to the temple and read
to the people. Word of the read
ing got to the chief men to the
kingdom, who sent for Baruch
and had the roll read to them.
They realized that Jeremiah was
a true prophet, but they were
statesmen, responsible to the
king and to the people for the
safety and security of the king
dom. They realized that the pro
phecy of Jeremiah of the down-
fall of Judah would shake the
confidence of the people in the
government and its policies and
therefore, its revelation to the i
people was not expedient. In- j
stead of seeking new revelations'
from the prophet, they hurried- |
ly sent him into hiding.
When the king heard about
the roll, he had Jehudi read it
j to him and, angrily, cut it into
strips with his knife and flung
it into the fire. He then ordered
Jeremiah and Baruch seized, but
they could not be found. Immed
iately, Jeremiah ordered Baruch
to rewrite the words of the first
roll and record a heavy judg
ment to fall on Jehoiakim, which
prophecy came true.
Judah was fast approaching
the judgment bar of God. Even
the prophet Jeremiah’s fervent
prayers for his nation could not
save them from the coming ca
tastrophe. The people had writ
' ten their own doom in the sins
they had knowingly committed
against God and, although the
fall of Judah came about 100
years after the fall of Israel, the
punishment for sin was inevita
ble.
Despite the difference in time
and place, there are important
truths we in America can learn
from the history of the Hebrew
people, truths that might well
change our modern education,
our government and our indivi
dual lives. The present-day trend
in our nation should make the
thinking people take warning.
Isiah, long years ago, warned,
“The nation and kingdom that
will not serve thee shall perish.”

FARM NOTES
The latest report from the
Chattooga County agent reveals
that boll weevils have appeared
in practically every Georgia
county except a few here in the
northern part of the state, and
the pests are present in greater
numbers than usual for this
time of year. He warned that
“It might be well for the farm
ers here in Chattooga County to
be prepared for boll weevils if
they appear.”
Although the first week of
June favored development of
the weevils, farmers situated in
areas infested by them seem to
have good stands of cotton this
year.
Use of poison is not advised
unless squares are about to be
formed or unless buds are being
damaged. If either of these is
occurring, poison should be used
m two applications at intervals
of a week. Information on boll
weevil control can be obtained
at the county agent’s office in
the basement of the Post Office
Building.
♦ * ♦ *
Here in the county we have 25
demonstration farmers. These
men demonstrate to their neigh
bors the value of lime and phos
phate as cover crops. They are
listed by the county agent as
follows:
C. W. Hutchins. Henry Chap
pelear, Robert L. Hendrix, C. H.
Ratliff, Charles E. Lowery, H.
D. Dover, Elmer Morrison, Rob
ert S. Speer C. R. Echols. Bil

T. H. Selman, R. P. Brison, Joe
Eleam, T. P. Johnston and Dr
W. B. Hair.
Recently the office of the
county agent received a letter
which showed the advantages
offered to local farmers by this
demonstration program. In this
letter. Ross Lougnridge reported
decided changes in the produc
tion of his 280-acre farm near
LaFayette in Walker County. He
stated. “Our land makes about
three times as great a yield since
we changed our crop plans and
started the fertilizer program as
a long-range unit test demon
strator . . .”
“We grew cotton and a little
hay on our 175 acres of cropland
when my father started as a
crop demonstrator in 1935,” re

spite the commercial fertilizer

There is a changed picture
now; tractor power instead of
mule power; beef cattle where
none were before; new and im
proved fences; good barns and
houses; seed corn, milo, wheat,
oats, beef, and other sources of
income replace cotton and corn
as the only two crops. Farming
for the Loughridges is complete
ly different, according to the re
port.
Plans for the future of this
progressive farm are bright. Mr.
Loughridge reports plans to
build cross fences to permit graz
ing rotations. Timber in the
woods of the farm will be used.
Current plans call for the start
ing of a registered herd of cat
tle, building a farm shop-garage,
and obtaining more electrical;
equipment for the farm home.
Other farmers in North Geor-1
gia may profit by the experiences )
of such men as this demonstra
tor. Any information desired
concerning the demonstration
plan may be obtained from the
county agent.
