A person can make irrevocable mistakes by ^oing headlong heedless. For years the prophets had sought to hold Jewry back from their sins against Jehovah. There had been Hosea, Amos, Joel, Jo- with the understanding that he would be loyal to the Chaldeans. Instead Zedekiah sought help from Egypt, in spite of Jeremiah’s pleading to the contrary.

During the seventy years in captivity in Babylon the Jews observ ed both of these memorial days. The seige is still observed in the Fast of Tebetri-a jday Jews. ^The next observance will be Jan. 10, 1930. Portions of Lamenta tions are read aloud at the time, for Jeremiah therein makes very graphic the awful miseries that prevailed within the holy city. Both bread and water finally failed. Meanwhile coun ter walls were built by Nebuchadnez zar’s men, that missils might be the better hurled into the beseiged city. Battering rams broke through the massive* walls. Zedekiah was the king. He had beeft apparently contradictory, were ful filled. Compare Jeremiah 32:4-5 and Ezekiel 12:13. How could he be taken to Babylon and not see the city or the king there? Zedekiah was forced to witness the slaughter of his sons at Riblah, and then was blinded at the king’s order. He was ihen taken as a captive to Babylon, but beheld neither king nor city. Jeremiah was evidently in favor with Nebuchadnezzar, who gave him staying in Jerusalem with “the poor of the land,’’ who were left there to produce a revenue. This cpntinuing patriot elected to remain w’here he thought he was most needed. Later when Gedaliah, the governor, was traitorously killed the conspirators forced him to flee to Egypt with oth ers 'and tradition indicates that he was killed there. Much of history is summed up irf the golden text: “Righ teousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people.” Prov; There will be preaching at Shady Grove Sunday afternoon.

Gastonia, June 9.—After a wild ride from Spartanburg, during which only the ability of two city policemen to outtalk the leaders of a crowd of twelve men saved him from possible lynching, Fred Erwin Beal, national organizer for the National Textile Workers’ union, today was in a county jail “somewhere in North Carolina.” With him was K. 0. Byers .whd was arrested with him at Spartanburg, on charges of complicity in the murder of Chief of Police 0. F. Aderholt of Gas tonia. Beal and Byers, arrested at the re quest of local police, were en route from Spartanburg tq jail in charge of City Councillman Robert Craig and Patrolmen H. C. Jackson and Thomas Rankin when the officers were stop ped in South Gastonia. The men, of ficers reported, demanded Beal and Byers. The officers refused and the city councilman refused to give the prisoners and began talking to the leaders of the crowd. Finally the offi cers were allowed to proceed with their prisoners. While the funeral of Chief Aderholt was being held at the First Baptist church late today deputy sheriffs and police continued their search for resi dents of the tent colony. During a chase late today after a man believed to be one cf the strikers. Deputy Sher iff George Moore was slightly wound ed by buckshot from a riot gun. The shooting, Moore said, was accidental. The name of the deputy who fired the shot was not learned. Fearing possible efforts by mobs to get men under arrest known to have been leaders of the strikers guards were put about the tent colony. County and city officers today shuf fled their prisoners about from jail to jail. Louis McLaughlin, identified as the man who fired the shot that struck Patrolman Charles Ferguson and Charles W. Carter of Mizpah, N. J., the camp guard who first-accosted the officers when they entered the Jent colony to investigate a fist fight, were removed from the Lincoln coun ty jail to another and stronger prison. Approximately 5,000 persons at tended the funeral of the slain police chief this afternoon, but only about a thuosand of them could get into the church. The others stood outside in a light rain. A total of 65 persons were in vari- night, held in connection with the in- ous jails here and in other cities to- vestigation of the shooting. All of those arrested were charged with as sault with intent to kill when arrest ed, but with the death of the chief of police officials said warrants against perhaps a score of the persons held would be changed to murder. Among the prisoners, besides Beal and Byers, whose whereabouts offi cers refused to disclo.se are Amy Schechter, International Workers Re lief worker; Vera Buis, local strike leader; George W. Carter, Mizpah, N. J.,-camp guard; Louis McLaugh lin, camp guard, and Joseph Harrison, who claims to be a union organizer from Passaic, N. J. Harrison was wounded by the same charge of bird- shot that fatally wounded Chief Ad erholt and less seriously wounded Pa trolmen A. J. Roach, Thomas Gilbert and Charles Ferguson. Roach and Gil bert, though painfully woundeijl, are expected to recover. Ferguson and Harrison were not seriously hurt. Dr. Frank F.
