Few quarter’s lessons cover more
than the present one. Numerous out
standing characters appear. 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.

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-

to accord with the loose morals of j rael persisted in her idolatries and re-
the day rather than to act as states
men and lead the populace back to en
during social relationships.
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.”

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. Tables

WHERE ARE YOU GOING
THIS SUMMER?
Won’t you come in and talk over with us the conditions
your tires must meet? You want to travel without tire
trouble, yet you wish to spend as little as necessary for
tires right now. We’ll study your needs and give you
our honest advice.
Perhaps a low-price Goodyear Pathfinder will do fine.
Again, it may be worth ivhile to use Goodyear All-Weath
ers—regular or heavy duty. Or you may have a real eco
nomical need for Goodyear Double Eagles. We’ll tell you,
frankly, and we won’t try to sell you a better grade of
tire than you really should buy.
This is the real way to save money and bother on tires
—^to put your problem up to tire specialists who know the
business and will honestly advise you. We also take into
consideration how long you’ll keep the car after you
come back.

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 |

' who came and departed in endless pro- j
