PUBLIC AUCTION
Monday, Sept. 24, at 10 a.in.
We are not dependent upon the Bible alone for
the story of this invasion. Scientists in their probings
into ancient records have found the account w ritten by
Sennacherib, the Assyrian king, himself, and his own con-
frno.on th at the expedition failed to capture Jerusalem .
While Isaiah denounced both Assyria and Egypt, and
urged Jerusalem to avoid entangling alliances with either
of them , he had a conception of international relations
which is amazingly modern in the best sense of the word.
I d that day shall there he a highway out of Egypt to
Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come Into Egypt, and the
Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the
Assyrians.
In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and
with Assyria, even a blessing In the midst of the lan d :
Whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying. Blessed be Egypt
my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine
inheritance.
Thig ig precisely as If, while we were still at w ar with
Germany, having Great Brittain as our nearest ally, we
had said: “Some day the war will be over and the Divine
plan will include and need us all. The United S tates is to
be one of three powers in the future glory of the world,
and the other two are to be Great Britain and Germany.
Isaiah had to be a pessimist as to the immediate
future, but his superb optimism is shown all through his
work, and comes to its worthiest expression In the poem
with which his own hook of serm ons ends:
Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble
knees.
Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear
not: behold, your God will come. , . .
Then the eyes of the blind shall he opened, and the
eaers of the deaf shall he unstopped:
Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue
of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break
out. and streams in the desert.
And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the
tklrsty land springs of water. . . .
