JUDAH TAKEN CAPTIVE
^ II Kings 25:11-13
Everything that is repeated may not' nezzar, following the previous attack,
be so, but it is wise to give heed to
the second call, especially if it is the
policeman’s whistle. 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. As the enemy came in, the
king, instead of staying to help his
people, sought safety with seme of his

region of Ninevah.
Read not only all of II Kings 25,
but the related passages in Ezekiel
and II Chronicles. Jerusalem was be-
seiged for eighteen months, Even the
day is indicated when that fnial pro
longed attack began and also when it
ended. During the seventy years in
captivity in Babylon the Jews observ

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

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

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

is a reproach to any people.” Prov;

Only Fast Talking By Officers Pre
vents Prisoners Being Lynched
On Gastonia Trip.
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.
