Court Won't Livestock Car Victim's Paducah Sun-Democrat, Dec. 17, El 1956 2 Prophecies (Continued I Of A King rom Page 1) 'S. j1 I- i' V'ly and a way The redeemed shall walk there the. ransomed of the Lord With joy shall ye draw xcater out of the wells of salvation." What expectations! But hardly still believable. Even in Isaiah's own day, even though he held aristocratic prestige in the royal court, many spurned his They called him disloyal, a betrayer.

So why still heed his ancient words? All men know this nation ever since has felt the lash and yoke of conquerors-Assyrian, Egyptian, Macedonian, Persian, Babylonian, Roman. A world kingdom, Still the old words prick the mind, like never dying embers. More goading still, with these reckless rumors abroad from Bethlehem, Is that so many other prophets had the same presentiments. All were discerning men, driven by some Inner mandate to be spokesmen for the Lord. That priestly prophet Malachl, 450 years before the reign of Herod, lashed at the hollow ritual, the laxity and ldol-bowlng of his day, and spoke these words of.

the Lord: "Behold, I. will send My Messenger and He shall prepare, the way before Me, and the Lord whom ye seek shall come suddenly to the temple And He shall sit as a Refiner and Purifier Even further back, 1,000 years or more, prophets heralded a coming illustrious one Joel, Amos and others. They said he would be as a light, and even Gentiles, far and near, would be drawn to its brilliance. Unthinkable! Gentiles have their own gods. Then, too, It was told he would be a man of sorrows before his glory could be known.

It Is hard to calculate the meanings. About Isaiah's time, there was another younger prophet, Mlcah, a vigorous country man from Morsheth. And yes, he pointed to this very town these tongues are waggling about: "But thou Bethlehem, though thou be little. yet out of thee shall He come forth that Is to. be Ruler Whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

And He shall stand in the majesty of the name of the Lord great unto the ends of the earth. And this Man shall be Peace A man? A God? From everlasting? What do they speak of? It was the Prophet Zechariah, who added these perplexing words about 500 years ago: "Behold, thy King cometh unto thee; He. is just and having salvation; lowly and riding upon an His dominion shall be from sea even to sea, from the river even unto the ends of the earth." Most nnsetmly a "lowly king! How could our JewKh people raise up a king of any kind, with a million of us in Egypt, more In Syria, ethers in Rome, and less than 100,000 left In Jerusalem, now overrun by aliens and their ways? Yet, that gentle, wise and rapler-tongued prophet, Jeremiah, who endured prisons and floggings for his piercing wisdom, also insisted that such a one would come that BIG CHRISTMAS PARTY Pittsburgh Metallurgical annual Christmas party Saturday at Calvert City was attended by by 750 children of employes, including left to right, Rosemary Wood3, Linda Jean Herrington and Jimmy Dale Davis.

the Paducah Christmas meet, despite the fact the Lions are in the tough top bracket. Coach Sonny Hubbs' Graves Countians face a real toughie in Ballard Memorial, which owns a 6-1 record for the season. The Bombers' lone loss was to Lone Oak In an overtime. Livingston County has a veteran club on hand, but has faced little opposition so far this year. Tilghman, afUr bowing to Ballard In their season opener, has bumped off Fulton, Memphis Treadwell and Win-go, in winning Its last three outings.

The lower bracket rates as a toss-up. North Marshall (7-1) suffered lis lone loss to Its first round opponent Wlngo, but has been impressive in other outings. Wlngo has lost to Tilghman and Sedalia while winning seven games. Lone Oak, although rather unimpressive; has rolled up a S-2 slate and walked off with the McCracken County Basket- ball Tournament title last week. Murray has played only four games, winning three and losing one.

Bill Knight of Lone Oak and Tot Walden of Bandana named tournament officials in other action at Sunday's meeting here. Tournament admission price was set at 50 cents for students and 75 cents for adults. Reserved seats will be put on sale here early next week. The Mayfleld Tournament doesn't have a solid favorite, although South Marshall and Fulton are generally regarded as the teams most likely to meet In the finals. The Rebels, 6-2 for the season, meet district rival New Concord (9-2) In its first round game.

Hickman bested Cunningham 74-63 In their regular Season meeting, Fulton, with a 5-1 record, meets a Klrksey club headed by high-scoring Rob Darnel, in Its first test. Mayfleld squares off against a Lynn Grove team that features one of the top performers in the area guard Tommy McNeeley. Earl Metcalfe and Mel Sanders will officiate the Mayficld meet.
