SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON An Ancient Kingdom Fell On Moral Power Decline By EARL L. DOUGLASS It begins to look as if people's hougbts were turning on a wide icale to the resources which religion has to offer a troubled mind and a troubled world. Significantly, there seems to be an underlying feeling in the minds of most people, that mere mind religion, mere ritual religion, or any of the many highly promoted movements for social betterment will not be enough. People want a religion which has in it real spiritual content. Serious- minded men and women are turning instinctively to the Christian gospel as good news, and to Jesus Christ as the divine Savior, which the Bible reveals Him to be.

COLLAPSE OF EMPIRE Let us look at his modern turning of the human heart to spiritual realities against the background of an ancient nation's tragic mistke. When the foolish son of the allegedly wise Solomon refused the petition of his people for a redress of cruel grievances, the ten northern tribes of the Hebrews seceded from the two tribes in the south and set up a kingdom of their own. Jeroboam, a man of humble birth who had come up from the ranks by sheer force of ability, became king of the northern kingdom. This nation lasted slightly more than two hundred years and was at last destroyed, and its people carried away captives by the Assyrins. The fall of the northern kingdom was primarily the resul tof a com- Reaction From Mad Bite Differs Dog Why does a mad dog bite? It might be because the virus that causes rabies moves along nerves creating a feeling of anxiety or fear and also evidently affects the dog's vision to the extent that he can't see very well.

So the dog is scared to death of everything and can't see much of anything and attacks anything that his distorted vision can pick up- That's a possible explanation the biting and viciousness of a mad dog. Human beings very rarely have the same reaction. The stories of people who bite with rabies are exaggerated; It is very rare for human being to react in that manner, though the disease does affect the nerves in very much the same way and does create a feeling of great fear and pain. Dogs are kept locked up after attacking a person because if they are rabid they will die within 10 days. No dog should be killed immediately after biting a person because the virus of rabies may nol yet have travelled to the brain of the animal, making the diagnosis of rabies possible.

One of the hardest decisions for both parents and doctors to make is that involving the Pasteur treatment for the bite of an animal only suspected of being rabid. If the animal were obviously rabid, the decision must be "yes" for the series of shots; but if there is a question as to whether the shots are necessary, it is pretty hard to weigh the chance of rabies against the definite discomfort of the shots. loss of moral character on the part of the people, and this in turn grew out of a widespread for saking of religious' faith. The old formula of no-religion-ne-morality demonstrated its truth in the two centuries of this nation's decline and fall. MODERN IDOLATRY As we look at the sins of this ancient people, we are led to pause solemnly and assess the actual value of what we call modern civilization.

The Israelites turned to from the true God to the worship of a couple of golden calves. And the first thing which strikes us is that the worship of the golden calf is by no means extinct, especially in this western hemisphere. There are millions of people who have no other god but money and the things money can buy. Church is all very well for baptisms, weddings, and funerals, but Sunday is a day of rest after a hard week, and especially to recover from the gay affairs of Friday and Saturday nights. "Business is business," say these people, "we have to swim for dear life to keep ouf heads above water; it's not what you are in this Hfe that counts but what you have.

Therefore let us work hard while we work, then hard when the work is over. The only life we know is the one right here and now, and it takes money and plenty of it to keep that Hfe Thus reason the modern worshipers of the golden calf. They are to be found in every office, every social group, on every countryside and on every city block. Idolatry is not a dead issue so far as the Christian Church is concerned. Social injustice was a vice in the kingdom of Israel centures ago, and the thundering denunciations of the prophet Amos have come down to stock the arsenals of all modern champions of fairness and humanity in the fields of industry and business.

Fifty years ago the plight of wage-earners was something tragic to behold. The betterment of his status is one of the glories of recent history, but there is much yet which calls for correction. Anyone intent on increasing the participation of the worker in all the benefits which industry helps to produce, has the support of the full Biblical message. DRINK EVIL TODAY The Israelites also fell into the most wretched habits of intemperance. Then as now, drunkenness loomed up as the unmistakable sign of national decadence.

As one reads the description of these ancient orgies, he is reminded of the lengths to which, in the.past two decades, drinking has increased among our people. There has been a ISO per cent increase in the past seventeen years, and the greater part of this increase has taken place since the Second World War. Almost uncounted millions are spent in advertising liquor, and over the radio and tele- Honor Roll Students Named at Talihina By Paris News Correspondent TALIHINA, Okla.

Degree of Illness Fixes Attitudes Toward Doctors The difference in the attitude of the patient toward his doctor determined by the degree of sickness in the patient is as old is the world, or, according to a booklet belonging to Dr. B. F. Thlelen, Paris dentist, dates back from the time when men first practiced art of healing, and claimed the patient's gratitude in return for their service.

According to this booklet, most doctors are unaware that the different attitudes of the patient have promped a number of artists, as far back as the 16th century, to handle this subject with brush or needle. First of these was Henry Golt- zius, a famous designer, engraver and painter, who in 1587, published a series of four engravings representing the relation between doctor and patient in four stages of illness, according to the seriousness of the illness. They are drawn so true that after more than three centuries, they are still so today and look as if conceived but yesterday. Reproductions of these engravings are in the booklet belonging to Dr. Thielen.

In the engravings, the doctor is likened to God when the patient is near death; as an angel whe-n the patient begins to recover; as a man of wisdom when the patient regains his health; and as a devil when the doctor presents his bill.

iskm come that life is the not dulcet assurance complete without the "benefits" of liquor, and that the place best to serve it is is the home. Then we are told, the oncoming generation will learn how to handle their liquor. Ancient Israel had none of the modern means employed today to commend liquor to potential customers. They had no hard liquor in those wine. Yet Israel went to smash and the prophets are unanimous in their testimony that liquor played a big part in the debacle.

History never repeats itself In detail, but it never fails to repeat itself in its great, general movements. SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.

Austin did not mention Gen.

The United States wanted th strength that comes with untiy, Austin said. "We have it," he added. "We are determined to maintain it." He cited the United Nations victory In Greece as an example of how military and political considerations must be taken together. There, too, Communist troops had operated from a "privileged sanctuary," he said, but the U.N.'s unity of purpose forced the Communists to withdraw.
