Hundreds of volumes have been written on the subjt-t and many ex planations have been advanced as to the probable fate of the people who severed their alliance with the tribes of I'.enjamln and Judah, the latter remaining in southern Palestine and establishing Jerusalem as their capital. The Israelites who seceded went northward. Some Into Samaria and others Into the country which lay outside the narrow stretch of land which then made up the known world. As to the fate of those who populated Samaria some little Is known, for, bout eight centuries before Christ, Snrgon, king of Assyria, swept down upon Samaria and carried many thou sands of Its population Into captivity, replacing them with IJabylonlan and Syrian colonists and scattering the former residents throughout the king dom so that their Identity as a nation was completely lost. With their captivity, the remaining members of the ten tribes disappeared as completely as If they had been swallowed tip by the earth and no definite trace of thera has ever been discovered. The descendants of the two remaining tribes were also con quered at a later period and while they, too, were finally driven away, they possessed so strong a person ality and a rnelul cohesion that they aave endured, despite the bitter op pression to which they have been sub jected, throughout the centuries seirjdng Intact their religion, their his tory and their customs. This being the case, It Is doubly remarkable that the other ten tribes, numerically grenter than the tribes of Juda and ISenJnmin, should have ranlshed so completely. They could oot all have been slain or perished In rnptlvity, leaving no descendants and ! It Is to be presumed that they mi- 1 rrated somewhere but where? This is the question which has puzzled 1 trcbeologlsts and historians for cen- ! tures. Some w riters are of the j opinion that the "lost trilies" long ifterwards appeared as the lawless, ( j gallant Amilo Saxons, a race whose orlk'ln Is still more or less obscure. I ' Other European nations have also ' been 'traced'' to the missing Israel ' Ites. while a few commentators believe 1 that they became merged Into the na- I ' tlonnlltles of other conquerors and ! those of the peoples among whom they 1 . settled. j j Of special Interest to Americans Is j the opinion of a number of writers 1 that the lost tribes In some way probably by means of the vast over land "bridge" which later sunk below the surface of the I'nclflc found their way to this country and became what wtre luter known as "Indians' and . "Aitecs." Among those nho most firmly believed this were the early Spanish priests who settled In Amer ica, as also did Roger Williams. Cot ton Mather and many later theologians and scientists who found Indian dia lects which had words and phrases singularly suggestive of Hebraic origin, j In ITrtf Charles IVatty. a mission ary, wrote that he was certain that be hud found traces of the "lost tribes" among the Pelnware Indians, d.'c'ur Ing that he had seen nn ancient Scroll that contained portions of the , otldnnl Hebrew law. T.iit. despite nil the theorizing and ' guessing as to the "ten lost tribes," no really authentic discoveries h:iv i been made with resptvt to their fate. There are ninny sections of the globe where they could have settled nnd flourished ns an Independent nation, yet the archives of no known people describe such a settlement and bar ring the as yet unexplained origin o such races as the Indians, the Ha wnlliins nnd the Aztecs no trace Is to be found anywhere of the missing Israelites.
