A great nation goes from prosperity into cap tivity. The general subject is “Proph ets and Kings of Judah’s Decline. The chronology covers 169 years, front the time of the death of Uzziah to the fall of Jerusalem. Scripture portions include Kings, Chronicles, Isaiah, Jer emiah and Lamentations. Fourteen op portunities for charaijter study are given: Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ahaz, Heze- kiah, Hilkiah, Jonah, Shaphan, Hul- ddah, Pashur, Zedekiah, Irijeh, Ebed- Melech, the Rechabites and Nehemiah. While kings should have invariably been worthy leaders of their people such was the exception rather than the rule. Too often they were ready er.J Therein there was' a comfort in their present affliction. Jewry has always been the people charged with the care of the Book. Even the Bible is lost by disuse. HiK kiah found the rolls amid the debris of the Temple and there was much to learn and practise by all who would listen when the words were read in public. Jeremiah found the people engross ed in sin and in indifference to Je hovah. Regardless of consequences to himself he tried to dissuade from evil. Even when captivity was engulfing the nation he told how they could bet ter the situation. A filthy pit was his reward for real national heroism. Nebuchadnezzar was the instrument in completing th^ overthrow after Is- Scenes Unprecedented In History of Republic Enacted. Break of Day Marks the Beginning.- Mexico City, June 23.—Scenes un precedented in Mexican history were enacted at the historic old Church of the Virgin of Gaudelupe today as tens of thousands of Mexicans of all class- (fs gathered to offer thanksgiving prayers for the approaching resump tion of religious services in churches throughout the republic. The breaking of dawn found the James Ludie Reid, 74, died Sunday night at his home in the Long Branch section near here, after an illness of six months.

In contrast with kings and other of ficials of high rank, the prophets stand out as examples in true patriot- ' ism. Isaiah started out with the idea . that he was G^d^^ speriallyiffpl^^ ambassador and always ought to be faithful to such a trust. When kings -were false he withstood them to their fUce and tried to help them back to a worthy conception of their office. The vision by which Isaiah was inducted into office continued as an abiding in fluence. Hezekiah revealed what a king could do in ways of righteousness. He saw that keeping the ordinances of the Lord was a helpful way in which to register an attitude toward new obe dience. When he summoned the people to observe the Feast of the Passover they came, even from the territory of the separated northern tribes. That religion thus followed is joyous was indicated when the people were eager for an added seven days of Passover observance. From any base past there couW be a resurrection. Isaiah often told of a bright future, by the grace of God. This was to come through a Suffering Servant, who could be their Redeem- lated sins. King Zedekiah, like all oth ers who break their parol, had to face the consequences.’ Judgment does cot indicate lessened interest. Jeremiah expresses the * continuing feeling of Jehovah toward His Israel in the Golden Text: “I Imve loved thee with an *eV«rfastihg'fove; therefore with" lovingkindness have I drawn thee.” 31:3.

IS:I| I I ■ OUR FACILITIES FOR CLEANING TROPICAL SUITS Through the great central doorway of the church, which never haj been closed to worshipers, the faithful en tered sometimes eight abreast and when they had finished worshiping streamed from two side doors in never ending procession to make room for the new arrivals. There were no official ceremonies as priests had not yet returned to the pulpits, but rather the proceedings took the form of spontaneous demon strations with many floral offering^ being heaped upon the altars. Today’s pilgrimage to thb Church of the Blessed Virgin was even more remarkable, aside from the numbers, in view of the fact that the population had less than two days to prepare for it as the accord between church and state was reached only Friday after noon and not generally known over the city until Saturday morning. Touching scenes were enacted in the interior of the great church, where for three years the faithful had wor shiped without benefit of clergy. The low steady hum of thousands, of whis pered prayers could be heard through out the central chapel as the worship ers advanced slowly upon their knees down the wide central aisle to bring their candles and entreat before the shrine of the virg^in. There was no protection from the steady drip of tallow from the candles, but the hot wax fell unnoticed upon the advancing tide of worshipers' whose thoughts were outside the worldly sphere, or fell upon the floor toibe ground into (lust by the knees of the multitudes. The thousands of flickering candles cast an arch of light in the lower reaches of the lofty ceil ing, like a myriad fireflies illuminat: ing a hot murky summer night.

Several attendant* on the altar were kept busy receiving floral offerings, and it appeared in no time that the altar, despite its great size, would have to be' cleared of the flowers be- j fore nightfall in order to receive more bouquets. A half score smaller chap els opening off the central basilica witnessed scenes similar to that in the great chamber, but it was in this body, 'two and a half century old shrine un der the guidance and image of their beloved virgin that the great body of worshipers offered their entreaties. Where tens of thousands worshiped in the central shrine other thousands toiled their way up long winding steps leading to the chapel of the “little hill,” standing 200 feet above and overlooking the valley of Mexico. On the crown of the hill is an ancient cemetery, where thousands of graves lies in the ground, which earlier was the site of an Aztec temple dedicated to the goddess of earth and corn. Scores of other churches through out Mexico City were not deserted by | ! their communicants and were visited ; j throughout the day by the faithful ' who came and departed in endless pro- j !cession.
