We hope the friends of The Record, when they come to town to do their trading.will patronize the business houses that advertise in this paper. Remember that without these liberal merchants, bankers and other enterprising business men, the price of subscription would be at least $3 a year for such a paper as The Record. You'll find, as a rule, that the men who advertise are wide-awake and on the alert and can give you better bargains than those who do not advertise. This applies not only j to Kingstree, but many live and up- j to-date business men of Lake City, j Scranton and Greelyville recognize; - the pulling power of an ad in The Record. tf i ? BLESSED ARE THE PERSECUTED Jeremiah 37?Aug. 20 "Blessed are ye uhen met i shall it rile you and persecute you and shall sou all manner of ml ayuiiut you fui+tiy fot sly uake."?\Laithttf S:li. PEIiSIXTTlOX Implies that the person or thing perse- utoj possessed some qualities <>r powers that are feared. When the persecution is for religion ir proves that the persecutor realizes his owe weakness to meet the argument in a more rational way. Today's study draws our ntteu#!?fu to the persecutions endured by one of the Lord's faithful rrophets. lie was : patriot in the hi-host son-e of c--*-11 .<1 the word in that 7 I"1 li1 ! >< h ' 1 f t ') > - ji. 7.' i - I highest Lood f..r Mlwy -V*i? i his nation along ?jBLy&^.

They did not like him because he told the truth, fearlessly?they preferred prophets who would tell them of their own wisdom, greatness and the success of their policies. At the time of this study Zedekiah was on the throne. He was a vassal to Nebuchadnezzar, king of the Chaldeans, whose seat of empire was to the north. Hoping for assistance from Egypt on the south. Judah revolted, contrary to the warning of the Lord through Jeremiah. The Chaldeans laid siege, and the Egyptian army started for their deliverance. Tet Jeremiah persisted in declaring as at first that the end of the kingdom was near, that they would be swallow ed up In Babylon. Faithful Jeremiah Persecuted When the Chaldean army had withdrawn from the siege, Jeremiah concluded to cast his lot with some of the nation living outside the city walls? in the portion of the tribe of Benjamin. Attempting to do this he was arrested on the charge of disloyalty? that he had given himself over to cowork with the Chaldeans against the interests of his own land. Although he denied the charge he was put Into prison. Jerusalem was honeycombed with underground cisterns and vaults, arched overhead, and these were called "calrtns." They were designed to be reservoirs for water in time of drought or of siege. The bottoms of these "cabins." or cisterns, after the removal of the water, were frequently deep with mud and slime. The next chapter tells us of the terrible condition of the dungeon into which Jeremiah was put. We read. "They let down Jeremiah with cords, and in the dungeon there was no water but mire; so Jeremiah sunk in the mire." When finally they drew him out they took "old cast ofT clouts and rotten rags and let them down by cords iuto the dungeon to Jeremiah." who put then under his arms and was drawn up by the cords. In this dungeon the Prophet remained "many days." Blessed Are They Who Are Persecuted For Righteousness' Sake We are reminded of others who were put In prison for righteousness' sake. Saints Peter and John. Sulnts Paul and Silas. The world never understand the power which. operating in JBm ^ al>led them to re' ' of torture an<i The kin0?pr.,itt con- hnn(ls nn(j fwf fa^t ln the stocks, they were yet able to sing praise to God for tlie privilege they enjoyed of suffering with Christ, suffering for righteousness' sake, and : thus filling up a share of the afflic- j tions Of Christ. Such characters we ; are to emulate. We are to understand I that such joy and peace in the midst j of sorrow and persecution can come j only from the Lord. The Master's words iu our text ap j ply yesterday, today and tomorrow?s<> j long as the reign of evil is permitted "Blessed are ye when men shall re- j vile you and persecute you. and say i all manner of evil against you falsely i for My sake." But to be worthy of ! this blessing, and to receive it means to develop and possess a character which the enemies of righteousness would deem worthy of persecution. The Scriptures declare that persecution will be the portion of the faithful people of God through this Age?until the establishment of the Kingdom of Messiah. Under the new regime suffering for righteousness will not be possible. Mark the Master's words. "Whosoever will live godly in this present time shall suffer persecution." To live godly means, not merely to abstain from vicious and overt sin. but to be a hero in the strife, a defender of the right and an opposer of the wrong?n servant of righteousness, a soldier of the cross.
