“¥ou must keep your heads,” he
said. "God knows, I do not seek to
Judge your duty lu this gravest mo
ment of your lives, nor assume to tell
you what you must or must not do.
But by hurrying Into service now, with
out careful thought or consideration,
you may impair the extent of your
possible usefulness to the very cause
you are so anxious to serve. Hundreds
of you are taking technical courses
which should be completed—at least
to the end of the term In June. In
structors from the United States army
are already on the way here, and mili
tary training will be begun at once
for all who are physically eligible and
of acceptable age. A special course
will be given In preparation for flying,
and those who wish to become aviators
may enroll themselves for the course
at once.
"I speak to you In a crisis of the
university's life, as well as that of the
nation, and the warning I utter has
been made necessary by what took
place yesterday and today. Yesterday
morning, a student In the Junior class

me to deplore hla course In so doing;

could perhaps be more useful In that

“Well, I don’t want to be rude; hut,

“Oh, no. But I—”

OtUM CONDUCTS COURSE
NeaHy One Hundred Boys and Girls
Are Entertained for Week at «
Little Rook.
Dillon.-^-Nearly 100 girls and boys,
under the efficient management of
Mias Etta Sue Sellers, home demon*
stration agent, spent a week at Little
Rock, whcire the Dillon county short
course was conducted. Assisting with
the girls’ instruction were Mrs. Fran
ces Y. Kline, state marketing agent:
Miss Juanita Neeley, state poultry sp»
cialist; Mrs. Edna McPherson, home
demqpstration agent from Marlon
county, and Miss Edna Earle, home
demonstration agent from' Marlboro
county. S. E. Evans, L. L. Baker,
George Hoffman and Mr. Hall assisted
Mr. Epps with the boys’ instruction.
Special programs were put on by
the different clubs. Among the unique
features which displayed unusual abil
ity were the circus and the mock can
ning demonstration.
Delicious meals were served during
the entire course. Miss Sellers was
assisted in the planning and arrange
ments of these meals by Mrs. John C.
Hayes.
The citizens of Little Rock have
given Miss Sellers and Mr. Epps all
possible co-operation. Dillon county
considers itself indeed fortunate to
have these two extension workers in
the county.

Zedekiah was made king of Judah

spite of this kindness and the word
of the Lord spoken to him by Jeremiah
(Jer. 38:17, 18: cf. Jer. 52:3), he re
belled against the king of Babylon. He
retied upon the help of Egypt, but all
that Egypt could do was to cause

Fred Mitchell, crossing the campus
one tnorning. ten days later, saw lH>ra
stunding near the entrance of her dor
mitory, where he would pass her un-
'Kss he altered his course; and as he
drehenearer her and the details of her
face into distinctness, he was In
dignant with himself for feeling less

proach. The pltysUiat came over him
was mingled with ifu unruly admira
tion, causing him to whmier what, un
patriotic stuff she could vie made of.
She was marked, hut not wtupned; she
still held herself straight underaU the
hammering^and cutting which, toN^is
knowledge, she had been getting.
Shft stopped him, “for only a mo
ment," she said, adding with a wan
proudness: “That is, if you’re not one
of those who feel that I shouldn’t be
‘spoken to’?”
“No,” said Fred, stiffly. “I may
share their point of vfew, perhaps, hut
I don’t ,feel called upon to obtrude it
on you in that manner.”
“I see,” she said, nodding. “I’ve
wanted to speak with you about Ram-
sey.”
“All right”
She bit her lip, then asked, abrupt
ly: “What made him do it?”
“Enlist as a private with the regu
lars?"
“No. What made him enlist at all?"
•‘Only because he’s that sort," Fred
returned briskly. “He may be inex

I lorn made a gesture of despairing

“What la It I don’t understand?"
“Ramsey! I know why he went—
and It’s Just killing me!"
Fred looked at her gravely. "I don’t
think you need worry about It," he
said. “There’s nothing about his go
ing that you are responsible for.”
She rejteiited her despairing gesture.
“You don't understand. But it’s no
use. It doesn’t help 'any to try to talk
of it, though I thought maybe It would,
somehow.” She went 4 little nearer
the dormitory entrance, leaving him
where he was, then turned. "I sup
pose you won’t see him?”
“I don’t know. Most probably not

choked voice, “’ftmnk 'ypm Good-by!”
But Fred’s heart had melted; gazing
after her, he saw that he.r proud young
head had lowered now, and that her
shoujders were moving convulsively;
he ran after her and caught her as she
began slowly to ascend the dormitory
steps.

The dismantling of the Hty was de
layed a month, perhaps awaiting In
structions from Nehurhadnexxar, who
was nf Rlhlah.
1. They Burnt the House of the Lord
(v. 9). This was the sacred temple
built hy Solomon with additions and
m<»diflcatB>nM. Before burning it they
plundered It of all Its sacred contents.
2. Burnt the King’s House (v. 9).
This was doubtless the palace built
by Solomon.
3. Burnt All the Houses of Jeru
salem (v. !>). The Implication is that
the common houses were left for the
people, (v. 12).
4. They Broke Down the Walls of
Jerusalem. The aim was to render
the walls useless as a means of de-
fense.
IV. The Disposition of the People
(vv. 11, 12). ■
1. Carried Them Into Captivity (v.
11). The people who were left in the
city and those who had deserted to
the Babylonians were carrietLto Baby
lon; all such as would be „of use In
Babylon.
2. The .Poorest of the Land Were
Left (v. 12).The people who would
not likely make any trouble were left
as vine-dressers and husbandmen.
Doubtless they were looking forward
to colonization by foreign peoples. The
object In leaving these people was that
the country might be ready for their
coming. Over these people Gedaliah
was appointed as governor, with head
quarters at Mlzpab.
