ONE FISH IS SOLD FOR $329
Return of Sturgeon to Delaware River
Surprising as It Was Thought to
Have Been Exterminated.
Sturgeon fishing in the Delaware
river and bay has showed a surprising
improvement over past years In the
number of catches and size of the fish,
the Philadelphia Record states. Old
river men are mystified by the return
of the sturgeon, as It was thought these
big fish had been about exterminated.
Recently a number of exceptionally big
fish were caught, some averaging well
above 200 pounds and a few 300 pound
sturcreon have also been caught.
The cow sturgeon are just now filled
with roe and some of the big ones yield
from 90 to 100 pounds, selling at $2.75
a pound at the wharves. One fisher
man who brought In a 300-pound stur
geon last week was paid 303 fpr the
roe and $24 for the fish, his catch net
ting him $329.
Harry A. Dalbow of Pennsgrove,
who has been buying caviar here for
many years, says that this is one of
the best sturgeon seasons in the bay
he has seen for a long time. There
Is a big demand for the roe this year,
as Importations of caviar from Russia,
where sturgeon are caught extensively,
have been cut off by the war.

Lesson
(By E. O. SELLERS. Acting Director of
the Sunday School Course in the Moody
Bible Institute of Chicago.)
(Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.)
LESSON FOR JULY 22
SENNACHERIB IN DAYS
JUDAH.
OF
LESSON TEXT II Kings 19:20-22, 28-37.
GOLDEN TEXT God Is our refuge and
strength, a very present help In trouble.
Psa. 46:1.
Last week's lesson was a great pic
ture of the reform of the nation. To
day we have another picture which
needs to be carefully put before the
children. It is a national picture of a
ruler and the Invasion of his country.
In reality it reveals the principles
which are the same today, and which
affect the lives of boys and girls as
well as men ; the dangers, temptations,
the need of prayer, the need of a life
of faith in God, the care of a heavenly
father, deliverance and victory. It is
a great thing for any nation or any
Individual to have such a marvelous
experience of God's salvation. It oc
curred probably B. C. 701, the latter
part of Hezekiah's reign. Assyria on
the north was enlarging Its borders
and seeking to overcome Judea. Read
parallel accounts in II Kings 18; II
Chron. 32 and Isa. 36 :37. We have on
the Taylor cylinder an account by Sen
nacherib of the victory over Hezekiah,
found in Nineveh in 1830 and now in
the British museum.
I. The Situation. When the great
Sargon died at Nineveh, the Syrian
governments sought to assert their in
dependence. It was a good time for
Hezekiah also to assert his independ
ence. Accordingly they refused to pay
the customary tribute to Assyria. For
a time Sennacherib was too busy at
tending to other portions of the em
pire to pay much attention to the city
of Jerusalem. Later, however, he sub
dued the cities on the coast and threat
ened Egypt itself.
II. The Supplication (vv. 20-22).
God does things because we pray.
There was more power In Hezekiah's
prayer than there was in his army.
Through his prayers he laid 185,000
of his enemies in the grave. Hezekiah's
God saved his people out of the hand
of Sennacherib (v. 19), God did it. One
great reason why he heard Hezekiah's
prayer was because It was for God's
own glory that nezeklah asked (v. 19).
One great reason why so many of our
prayers are not answered Is because
they are selfish seeking our own
gratification and not God's honor
(James 4:3 R. V.). Rending his
clothes and putting on sackcloth, He
zekiah went to the house of God while
his messengers sought out the prophet
Isaiah. From II Chron. 32 :20 we find
that Isaiah joined with Hezekiah In
his earnest prayer (Matt. 18:19, 20),
thus the king and prophet worked as
well as prayed. They showed their
faith by their work (James 2:17, 18).
At the same time they waited upon
God for an answer, not because God
was unwilling to bestow good things
or must be importuned, but that his
gifts may bring the greater benefit.
He sometimes delays his answer,
thereby fitting us to receive them be
cause of the Intensity of our desire
and to appreciate the things he has
to bestow. God is as ready to say to
us as to Hezekiah, "Thy prayer is
heard," If we will not meet the condi
tions of prevailing prayer (I John
3:22; I John 5 :14 ; Rom. 8 :20.27).
III. God's Glorious Deliverance (w.
23-37). God permitted the Assyrians
to attack and they thus imagined they
were having their own will and could
do as they pleased, but when his "rod"
had done Its work, they found the dif
ference. The God against whem they
raved guided them as with a "bridle"
and turned them back to Assyria. Sen
nacherib considered himself more than
a match for God (Ch. 18:23-25) but
had to return like a conquered beast
of burden with God's "hook" in his
nose and bridle on his lips. God al
lows the enemies of his people to go a
certain length in order that his people
may be humbled and seek him. Then
he puts forth his hand and says, "This
far and no further." Jehovah gives us
the same promise he gave Hezekiah,
"I will defend this city." Is not the
city of Jerusalem that God defends
more safe than a city defended by an
army? (Psa. 46:5, 6; 27:1). God had
promised David that his kingdom
should not perish, for in it lay the
hope of the world and his plans for
the redemption of mankind. Not be
cause of the people did God defend the
city, but because of his oath. This is
a most dramatic picture, the mys
terious destruction of the Assyrian
army (vv. 35, 36). The Lord sent his
angel, literally his "messenger," who
applied his own plan for the accom
plishment of his purpose.
There is a sort of a grim Irony in
the ending of Sennacherib's career. He
who had so defiantly asked, "Who are
they among all the gods of the country
that have delivered their country out
of mine hand," is led back to the house
of his own god whom he imagines to
be so potent to worship and in that
very presence Is slain by the hands of
one of his o.vn sons. The Importance
of this event Is shown by the fact that
It Is referred to in three books of the
Bible and probably referred to anoth
er, occupying seven or eight chapters,
besides being recorded on the great
cylinder to which reference is made.

Faith Necessary

TEXT To him give all the prophets

This text forms the close of feter's
6ermon to Cornelius. Surely here If
anywhere we have
the way of salva
tion because In
Acts 11 we are
told that Peter
was sent" to Cor
nelius to "tell
him the ' words
whereby he and
all his house
should be saved."

fry A yf' i .
tion, he has spoken of the resur.
rectlon of Christ which Insures sal
vation, and then he says that "who
soever belleveth on him shall receive
remission of sins."
Faith in Christ Necessary.
Cornelius was a very sincere man,
doing the very best he knew how but
his sincerity was not sufficient. He
was something like Paul, who says
"that if any njan had whereof he might
trust In the flesh, he more." In the
second place Cornelius was a very re
ligious man for he had conviction of
sin which led him to sorrow for his
sin. A reading of the tenth chapter of
Acts would show he had a great desire
to know the way of salvation, ne was
also, we are told, a man of great piety,
which showed Itself In great reverence
and much liberality In the way of
alms giving. To crown it all he was
a man given to much prayer. But his
piety, reverence, prayer or even his
repentance was not sufficient to give
him salvation. Sincerity of purpose
and Christianity are not synonymous;
religion and Christianity are not
synonymous. None of these things
which are so much thought of as be
ing necessary for salvation can ever
take the place of simple faith In Jesus
Christ. The Bible does not say "who
soever repenteth and Is reverent and
prays and has a desire to be saved, or
Is sincere, shall find remission of sins."
It does say most distinctly that "who
soever belleveth In him shall receive
remission of sins."
Faith In Chrl6t Sufficient for Salvation.
The thief upon the cross could not
get down and undo what he had done,
nor make restitution of any kind, nor
could he come down from the cross
and live a good life, but he could ex
ercise faith in Christ, and this was suf
ficient for his salvation. Nicodemus
had everything which would recom
mend him as worthy of salvation, but
his morality and rectitude of character
left him dead in trespasses and In sins
until he exercised simple faith in
Christ. When Paul speaks to the
brutal Roman jailer of Philippl he says
nothlitg of reformation of life, but tells
him simply to "believe cn the Lord
Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved."
When Philip finds Nathaniel engaging
In prayer, he does not tell him to pray
harder or longer, but brings him to
Christ. The noly Spirit declares ' in
Romans 4 :5, "but to him that worketh
not, but belleveth on him that Justl
fieth the ungodly, his faith is counted
for righteousness." The Gospel of
John has been written "that we might
believe that Jesus Is the Christ, the
Son of God, and that believing we
might have life in his name." While
faith In Christ Is absolutely neces
sary for salvation, It is entirely suffi
cient. Faith In Christ Open to All.
Our text does not pick out any par
ticular class which may have faith in
Christ, but it uses the widest word
possible and says, "whosoever bellev
eth In him shall receive remission of
sins." This wide word is used
throughout all of Scripture. Isaiah
says, 'TTo, every one that thlrsteih."
John 3 :16 declares, "That God so loved
the world that he gave his only be
gotten Son, that whosoever believeth
In him should not perish, but have ever
lasting life." Romans 1:16 declares
that the Gospel of Christ "is the power
of God unto salvation to everyone that
believeth." And the Bible closes with
the broad invitation for whosoever will
to come. No one Is shut out. Faith In
Christ is the simplest thing In the
world. It is absolutely necessary, but
wholly sufficient for salvation.
