Roy Grettum of Baker, guest- speaker. Babylonia. Babylon itself was shortly to have a conqueror, who establish ed a new dynasty, befriended the Jewish exiles, and made possible the return of many to build again their ravaged country, and to re establish '.he Holy City. With that return the next lesson will deal; but if one wishes a vivid picture of what the exile meant, he will find it in the 137th Psalm, with its sad lament of those who could not "sing the Lord's song in a strange land," and its bitter recrimination against their Baby lonian captors and' oppressors. "O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be that' rewardeth thee as thou has served us. Hap'py shall he be that- takcth and dasheth thy little ones against the stones." Terrible words! Not in the spir it, of-the New Testariient.'but un derstandable at a tirhe when we have seen modern peoples car ried off into exile' and slavery. Yet this period of the exile has produced the loftiest arid most beautiful of all the Hebrew Scrip tures. In their sufferings the people learned to value the things that they had lost, and prophets arose among theni to turn their hearts and minds to' the worship of the true God, and away from the idolatry that had helped to bring them to disaster. The outstanding prophets of the southern kingdom were Zech ariah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekicl, and minor prophets', Micah, Nahum, Joel, Habakkuk, Zephaniah and Obodiah prophe sied during the latter part of the kingdom enough prophets to have saved any people who had heeded their warnings and ex hortations. These prophecies with their warnings against entangling alli ances, have been used 'by some in recent years to urge an isola tionist policy for the U. S. A., but there is little to warrant the suggested similarity of that an cient situation to our own. The true analogy is that we should listen to wise arid sound voices, and avoid alliance with evil, but the American patriot of1 today might well say with the ancient patriot of Zion: "For Zion' sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake will I not rest, until the righteousness thereof go ferth as brightness, and the sal vation thereof as a lamp that burnetii." (Isainh 62:1.)
