Nations as well as people come to
crossroads In their history, and tak
ing the wrong road then means fu
ture disaster. Solomon had built up
great national prosperity, but at the
expense of heavy taxes. He had for
gotten God, and was succeeded by
a son who followed in his footsteps.
' Offered an opportunity to ease the.
burden of the people (I tings 12:
14), Rehoboam in his folly made it
greater, and the nation was divided.
The ten northern tribes, which were
henceforth to be known as Israel,
followed Jarobuam, and the two
southern tribes under Keheboam be
came the kindom of Judah.
Jeroboam started with God's fa
vor, and might have led his people
right, but instead he became the
king whose name stood for wicked
ness (see II Kings 15:18). The story
of that downfall is a sad picture of
unbelief and failure.
Through varied experiences and
under different kings, Israel had
gone down, down, down in its his
tory of sin and departure from God.
I. Doomed by Sin (II Kings 17:
5-12, 22, 23).
The hour had struck when God's
heavy hand of judgment had to fall
on them. Verso 6 relates their car
rying away into captivity to As
syria," and verses 7-9 tell us the
reason for th.il jjdinneril.
Ingratitude for God's blessing
(v. 7) led te t'le worship a'. ''hej
gods (v. 8). They knew God's hatred
for the sin oi tit latry. and his j idg
ment upon those who walked in that
way, but they :nt rhrhi on.
Note in verse 9 that t!iese things
were done ''secretly. "he same
thing is true today of many who
psofess to be i..l people ii God. The
line of demarcation between the
church and the world is not clearly
drawn. We do well to note carefully
the outcome of this course of pro
cedure on Israel's pi.rt (vv. 6, 18).
The fact that L.ael did these things
secretly did not hide them from the
eyes of Jehovah (Ps. 139:1, 2; Heb.
4:13)" (John W. Bradbury).
The statement in verse 23 is a
striking one. The prophets had re-

' For three years, the Bureau of
Human Nutrition and Home Econo
mics f the U. S. Department of
Agriculture has been making an
intensive study of home canning
low-acid vegetables and meats.
Given below in recipe form are
the Bureau's new directions for
home canning asparagus and green
peas. ,
They stress the necessity of US'
ing a steam pressure canner for
low-acid foods since this is the only
practical method to guard against
botulinus - serious food poisoning
from these canned products. They
also stress importance of following
directions completely, since these
process times may not be adequate
for food prepared and packed by
some other method .
Asparagus: Wash asparagus: trim
off scales and tough ends and wash
again. Cut into 1-inch pieces. Cov
er with boiling water. Boil two or
three minutes. Tack hot asparagus
to 1-2 inch of top of glass Jars.
Cover with hot cooking liquid; or,
if liquid contains grit, use boiling
water. Leave 1-2 inch space at top
of jar. Add 1-2 teaspoon salt to
pints; one teaspoon to quarts. Ad
just jar lids. Process in pressure
canner at 10 pounds pressure (240
degrees F.) - jWnt jars, 25 minutes;
quart jars. Ha minutes. As soon as
jars are ic moved from canner, com

type.
Green Peas: Shell and wash peas,
Cover with boiling water. Bring to
boil. Pack "hot peas to 1 inch of top
of glass jars. Cover with boiling
water, leaving 1 inch space at top
of jar. Add 1-2 teaspoon salt to
pints; 1 teaspoon to quarts. Adjust
jar lids. Process in pressure canner
at 10 pounds pressure (240 degrees)

no longer stand to look upon their
sin, and in a sense put them "out of
his sight" That does not mean that
they had been forgotten or that God
was not watching over them in
mercy and love, but that he had to
judge them for their sins, and for a
time bring them into judgment
leading to repentance.
There is always a reason for a
nation's deterioration, and with Is
rael there were manyreasuns. Out
standing among them is the one for
which they were rebuked by Isaiah
in the verses of our lesson, namely,
drunkenness.
U. Deceived by Drink (Isa. 28:
1-4).
The picture here is a graphic one.
The leaders of Inrael (here called
Ephraim) lingered long ovor their
bowls of wine, and in their drunken
stupor gloried in the fact that Sa
maria, their capital city, was1 se
situated at the head of a valley that
it was not only beautiful but prac
tically Bafe from attack by the
enemy.
The drunkards spoke with prid.'
of their nation and of Samaria its
"crown." The description was apt
for it was he.-.utlfullv siuai.d on a
hill surrounded by a u-i ,iie .vii'c:..
hillside.. But their boasting was
vain, for after a bitter three years'
Siege, the city eventually fell to Sar
gon II of Assyria.
All this has a familiar sound. We
think of the nations that have gone
down to oblivion even while the peo
ple engaged in f.a "i?h levity, and in
the awful stupefying arid degrading
use of alcohol.
'Remember the fall of France In
the recent World War when its
own leaders said that ''ie defeat
could be largely .11, ; j ;d to the
tremendous incn .wv in the use of
alcoholic liquor.
What about .-ur jun United
States? With an .11: liquor bill
of about eight bill do'lars. sa-i
loons on almost every corner, liquor
Mowing freely In hotels and restau
rants, bottles and cases of it baing
brought into the home, booze the
common medium of not only social
but business relations, our insane
asylums so crowded with alcoholics
that the poor inmates have no real
care but why go on? It is a oicture
mo appalling and so utterly distress-
itPf that every sensible person is
tfiocked by it.
DO we think that God can long
withhold his judgment upon a peo-
pw Dieisea oy an his many boun
tits, and yet using them for destruc
tion of body and soul? Can a people
continue to oe strong which Is de
termined to undermine itself by the
use of alcoholT
raise vegetables in that basement
dirt."
"If the soil's so poor, he says,
"how do you think th' farmers got
more than nine million bushels of
potatoes to grow last year? by
setting them out with a pneumatic
drill? And besides, it takes 100
years to add one inch of top soil
on one acre. Don't get in any hur
ry!' ,
Then he cited figures right and
left 1 ill bushels and tons of beans
and other vegetables swam before
