I. Isaiah's Message to Ahaz. 1. Prophecy concerning Immanuel (eh. 7). The occasion of this prophecy was an invasion from the north by Israel and Syria. This invasion greatly alarmed Ahaz.- To calm his fearful heart Isaiah assured him that God's purpose concerning the nation would not fail. He urged the exercise of faith in God, offering to confirm his faith by working any miracle desired. While with false humility he refused a sign the prophet announced the giv ing of a sign which would be the birth of Immanuel. 2.

His method to accomplish this was: (1) Intimidation (vv. 4-0). He tried to bully them into submis sion. (2) Misrepresentation (v. 10). He asserted that It was useless for them to put their trust In God and even declared that the Lord bad sent kdm to destroy Egypt. (S) He tried to creats a panic among the people (vv. 13-21). Fear ing such a panic the deputation of tits Jew* urged Rabaiiakeh not to speak in the Jewa' language. (4) He promised them plenty In an other land (vv. 16. 17). 2.

But there weYe several other herds, much larger, In the southern hemisphere. • Fur Seals All Rilled. The species which lived on Guada lupe was akin to- these last and not to tlie Alaskan forms, all hough the furs \Tere almost equally valuable and brought good profits to the hunters. Guadalupe being such a distant out post of Mexico, it is doubtful If a single official of that government had the faintest conception of the war of extermination at the time it wa? tak ing place. • . , , So • far ns the available records show, the last living fur seal was seen on Guadalupe in 1892;' Since then several expeditions have gone to the island and searched for the an imal without success. Former fur-seal rookeries have been examined with .scrupulous care, the areas measured and the number ol animals which once hauled out there to rear their young computed. • "‘South ’Rookery originally contained at least 50.000 fur seals and compared favorably with the major breeding grounds of the Pribilof islands today* The entire Guadalupe herd must have numbered at least 100,000 animals when it was In its prime. Without printed records, how do we know this, thirty years after the last of the animals died? They left their own records, which can he read almost as plainly today as if each an imal were in its place; and this makes the reallzntiou of the facts all (he more bitter. The animals chose the roughest and most rocky shore* for tlielr land homes and congregated in large, com pact rookeries, In conformance to the habit of fur seals generally.

The first naturalist to visit Gupd- alupe was Dr. Edward Paltper, yly 1875. He camped In one of the cy press groves and described the place as a paradise. There were a great many lienutlful shrubs and flowering plants in the moisture belt, and the birds were so abundant and so tame that he called It an Isle of dreams. i tflrtu v* a- ■*j(sr" r 'ae!

The shrubs and flowering plants have been practically exterminated and for thirty years no young trees have had a chance to grow.

The old trees are fast disappearing through natural death and the ef fects of storms. Four of the fine spe cies of birds have become extinct and the others, are reduced to a fraction of their former number. The cause of all this death and de struction was the ambition of some one to start a. goat ranch on Guada lupe many years ago. The animals, without care, thrived beyond the wil/1 est expectations of‘the promoters, hut tlie venture proved a failure flnan- dally. f The goats have learned to quench their thirst with sea water and have eateu almost every living plant.
