I. The Kino of Assyria Invade*
Judah (Lsu. 30).
1. Rabshakeli Meets n Deputation
From Judah (vv. 1-21). Rabshukeh
was a representative of Sennacherib,
the king of Assyria, whose mission
was to induce Judah to surrender. In
order to accomplish this lie:
(1) Tried to bully them into sub
mission (vv. 4-9). lie -taunted them
with their weakness and told them
that Egypt was a broken reed that
would not only fail of support but
even pierce the band that reached
out to it. He challenged them by
offering 2,000 horses, if they would
furnish riders for them. If they could
not furnish tills small number it
would l>e futile for them to attempt
to withstand the great Assyrian army.
(2) He asserted that it was use
less for them to put their trust In
God (v. 10). He even declared that the
Lord had sent him to destroy Judah.
(3) He tried to create a panic
among the people (vv. 13-21). Fear
ing a panic among the people the
deputation of the Jews urged ltab-
shakeh not to speak in the Jews’
language. Taking up the suggestion
lie spoke loudly in the Jews’ language,
warning them against trusting in Heze-
klali.
(4) He promised them plenty In an
other land similar to their own (vv.
16, 17). He urged them to make agree
ment with him and upon Ids return
from Egypt he would take them to a
land of plenty, but the people were
loyal to Ilezekiah, for they knew that
the cruel Assyrians could not be
trusted.
2. The Deputation Reports to ITeze-
kinh (v. 22). They rent their garments
doubtless in fear and dismay over
their perilous condition, for the crisis
long before predicted by Isaiah had
now come upon them.
II. Hczekiah’s Behavior (Isa. 37:
1-35).
1. Resorted to the House of the
Lord (v. 1). This is n sure resort of
God’s people in time of distress (Ps.
73:16. 17; 77:13). This action was
prompted by faith, for God had prom
ised that those who in (ime of distress
resorted to His house would be heard
by Him (II Chron. 7:15, 16).
2. Sen( Isaiah (vv. 2-7). The logical
and natural thing for the king to do
under such circumstances was to
send for God's prophet. The prophet
sent back words of encouragement to
Hezekiah, assuring him that God
would bring deliverance.
3. Hezekiab's Prayer (vv. 14-20).
Rabshakeh, who seems to have with
drawn from Jerusalem for a little
while, now returns from Sennacherib
with a letter warning Hezekiah against
trusting God for deliverance, assuring
him that he would be deceived for no
god was able to stand against the As
syrian army. He spread the letter be
fore the Lord and prayed.
(1) He recognized God’s throne,
making it the ground of his plea
(v. 16).
(2) He recognized the peril which
threatened the people (vv. 17-10).
Sennacherib bad Indeed laid waste the
surrounding nations, but that ruin re
sulted because the gods of the nations
were not real.
(3) He asked for deliverance (v.
20). He desired that deliverance
would come In such a way as to vindi
cate and honor the Lord.
4. Isaiah’s Message to Hezekiah (vv.
21-35).
(1) That Sennacherib’s sin was ldns-
phemy against the Holy One of Israel
(vv. 21-23).
(2) That Sennacherib had forgotten
that he was an instrument in God’s
hand (vv. 24-2S).
(3) Judgment upon Sennacherib was
Imminent (vv. 29-35). Deliverance
would soon come and that through the
energy of the Lord of hosts.
III. Destruction of the Assyrian
Army (vv. 36-38).
The angel of the Lord went forth
and smote in the camp of the As
syrians 185,(XX> men, so Sennacherib
was turned back by the way he came.
He did not enter Jerusalem and after
this defeat he went back to Nineveh
to live and while there worshiping
in the house of his god lie was as
sassinated.
In One’s Home
It is often easier to pose as a phil
anthropist abroad titan to be known
as kind, reasonable and unselfish in
one’s home.
Giving Thanks
Giving thanks for what we hove Is
a good preventive against whining
about what w ■ have not.

Colored Man Writes
About His People.
Following is a communication from
Asa Demons, a colored man of Mc
Duffie county, writing about some
grievance that he wishes to bring to (
the attention of his white friends.
We give the letter in his own compo
sition:
“Special to The Progress of Mc
Duffie County Georgia: I can see
of the colored man he don’t want to '
leave his Georgia birth home. There
is some good white folks right here
in Georgia without negroes so I am
talking to our best and first class
white folks. The negroes is killing
our negro women on ever hand and
I will say our good white folks ought
to put a stop to these crimes on your
places. You is got the law in your
hands and you can stop the negro
men from killing the negro women.
Why I say this is because some good
w’hite ladies need some of these killed
negro women today to help them in
they home labors. Now just listen,
king Solomon had more wives than
any other man ever did had. I don’t
I don’t think king Solomon killed not
one of his wives. I think as much of
my one wife as old king Solomon did
of his thousand wives. The negro
women need protection as much so
as the negro man does. If the good
whites don’t put a stop to these
crimes by negro men the negro wo
men will hafter leave Georgia states
for protection. Will close by saying
good luck to all the farmers of Geor
gia, McDuffie Co. If a negro is not
married on a persons place and wants
to live any-way he or she ought to
be carried before the Grand Jury of
the county. The negro men since
Jan. 1, has killed a good many negro
women. I wants to say right here,
don’t let my race of people live on
your place any sort of way. That’s
why the negro men is killing the
nejgro women. Some people don’t
care wha tthe negro does to one an
other just so he will work, but I don t
believe our best first class white folks
is not going to put up with crimes
of this sort. The young negroes is
got to be raised by some races of
people. The first two negroes come
from Africa Jan. 16, 1619, Isaac and
Phibbia. I wish good luck to Thom
son, Ga., McDuffie Co.
