d SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
History of Israel's Downfall Holds
Warning for the Citizenry of Today
'Scripture: Exodus (especially chapters 18-20); Numbers; Acts 7: 17-44
By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D.
If the extensive Scriptures in
dicated for this lesson the books
of Exodus and Number prove
too much. I suggest concentration
on the passage in Acts 7. Here
in Paul's defense before the high
priest and the council in Jerusa
lem, he summarized in a brief but
masterly way the history of the
founding and course of the Jew
ish nation, and its spiritual sig
nificance. No one was better fitted to do
that than Paul, for the great
Chrstian apostle was not only
thorouehlv vprspd in that his
tory, but he had a deep love for
his people, and Christianity was
.for him not the denial, but the
fulfillment of his Jewish faith
and teaching.
Why throughout the ages, and
in our own time, has there been
such persistent and intense inter
est in the life of a people, never
numerous in comparison with
vast other populations, and occu
pying a very small portion of
territory among the great em
pires of the ancient world? Why
should these records of things
that happened many centuries
ago, among a people who long be
fore the Christian era had ceased
to exist as a nation, be of such
vital moment, not only for Jews
of today who are seeking to re
gain that homeland ahd again
attain national life, but also for
the entire Christian world?
I think that it is because the
records so strikingly set forth,
and Illustrate by example, the
principles upon which true na
. tional life and welfare are found
ed; and also,' that the records
emphasize the WLrnings of dan
ger when the principles of the
good life, for individuals and na
tions, are disregarded or spurned.

"All Things Work Together for
Good to Them that Love God."
Israel was sounded the solemn
warning in a day of national
crisis: "Be sure your sin will
; find you out." Despite the ap
! peals and warnings of the proph
ets, an din spite of the glorious
development of the nation, at
taining its climax in the reign of
Solomon, the people turned again
and again to idolatry, both rulers
and people doing what was
wrong in the sight ot God. Strife
and division soon succeeded to
the unity established under Da
vid, and the glory that the king
dom attained under Solomon.
Incidentally that glory was at
tained through much a'pparen.t
oppression and the placing of
heavy burdens upon the people,
for Solomon was no more than
dead when the people complained
of these burdens, and appealed
to Rehoboam, his successor, 10
lighten their burdens. The re
sult is well known. Rehoboam
was one of the many fools of his
tory who have managed to sit n
thrones. He would show them
and 10 tribes revolted under
Jeroboam, himself a rascal, to set
up their own kingdom.
Tragedy followed division; but
it took about four centuries for
the mills of God to grind out the
tragedy of the nation that
couldn't stay united, and couldn't
stay devoted to righteousness,
and justice, and the common
good.
Four centuriies for downfall!
And our American life, four cen
turies old, displaying already so
many of the symptoms of the
evil and social weaknesses that
brought about the downfall o(
Israel as a nation! We, on this
American continent, in nations
that are young hive every rea
son to study, and study carefully,
the history of Israel for in
struction and guidance, nd for
warning.

"Let us humbly and devoutly
pray that this conference may be

let us pray that with the- over

Classics and Music in Modern
Idiom on Violinist's Program
Oregon born violinist, Louis Kaufman, whose artistry is recog
nized internationally, has arranged a program for his concert in the
La Grande high school Monday evening that should cover almost the
entire range of musical. tastes. '
, This concert, one of BO he will present while on leave from his
duties in the movie studios of Hollywood, will be .the final event of
the local civic music season,
; Kaufman has been featured as
soloist in numerous motion pic
tures, and his recordings are
widely popular, but despite his
busy schedule he has continued
cp the concert stage.
Some of the more prominent
movies in which his violin solos
hove been heard are Wake Is
land, Cabin in the Sky, Road to
Morocco, Major and the Minor
and Suspicion. ' ,
Cesar Franck's Sonata in A
Major, in four movements, is the
opening number on Monday eve
ning's program. It is the only
composition by this composer for
piano and violin, and is consid
ered one of the outstanding
pieces of musical literature of
this type.
The Concerto in E Minor, opus
64, of Felix Mendelssohn also
holds a high place in the world's
music, and like the Fi-anck so
nata is the single violin concerto
to be written by the composer.
The Havanaise of Camille
Saint-Saens reflects the compos
er's impressions of Cuba.
Kreisler's arrangement of the
scherzo from Tschaikowsky's
chamber music quartet of opus
H is the fourth number on Kauf
man's program. It is taken from
the same quartet as the more
widely known and very popular
Andante Cantabile.
The musician's mastery of his
instrument will be displayed to
best 'advantage, perhaps, in his
rendition of a Kreisler arrange
ment of the twentieth of Niccolo
Paganini's two dozen Caprices.
Paganini wrote some of the
world's finest yiolin compositions
in his caprices, and some of them
ore a part of every violinist s
repertoire. -
With this array of selections
from the world of classics, Kauf
man will delve into the world of
contemporary composition for
the remainder of his program,
presenting first Aaron's Cop
land's "Ukelele Serenade."
Two movements from Robert
Russell Bennett's Hexapoda
suite are described by the com
poser as jitterbug music, not as
torrid, probably, as the addicts of
rug-cutting might like it, but
music that the composer calls
"good music and good sport."
The violinist will present his
own arrangment of a "Blues"
number by William Grant Still,
composer of numerous works on
racial themes, and he will con
clude his concert with a samba
by Harold Triggs titled "Danza
Braziliana." It is described as
a typical example of the dance
music popular in Brazil.
Maverieks Plan for
Annual Barn Dance
The Mavericks club members
