He indicted six natlona Damascus, Tyrus, Edom, Moab, Ammon and Phinstia. Many of his prophecies have been fulfilled, vnt thn fin aaalnet Isrsel In the irtith chanter la an Indictment agalnat the present age. In thla he prophesies a famine, but not a fam ine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: And they shall wander from sea to u. n,4 rmm the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, ana enaji not find It. . "Obedlah waa the earliest of the prophets and la the shortest book In the Old Testament. He prophesies agstnat Edom and condemns It for Its elation over the fall of Jerusalem and the captivity of the whole na tion of Israel. Mlcah prophesies against Samaria, against the p'rtnoea and rulers of Israel for their hatred of Judgment, and aays, "The hesda thereof Judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money." He also ahows that national sins lead to na tional downfall. Mlcah prophaslea many of the details of the birth of Christ and of hla rejection, as well as of the future Messianic kingdom.

SUGGESTS REPLAY By John Reddy Members of southern Oregon's newest independent basketball five, the Drops cat Athletic club, appear unconcerned over charges made in a signed article In this paper, that their wrlteup of the game between the club quintet and the St. Mary's All -Stars contained Inaccuracies. They casually counter-charged that the game report was as nearly accu rate aa It was possible to make It under the conaitions, wun no u-1 thorlzed scorekeeper, timekeeper or ; HfM tsnrt that, their version of 1 the outcome could be as reliably ac-, cepted as that of their opponents. i The acore claimed by St. Mary's.' the DropseaU alleged, was purely aa arbitrarily named as thelr's was said to have been, and they suggest a replay aa Vie only logical settlement. Aside from the point that they held no strict accuracy was obtain able, the club players treated the matter facetiously. Jack Boyl, storm center of charges as widely varying as having been the hero of the game, and again of not having even been there, seemed bored by the whole af fair and referred to the matter as "Juvenile to say the least." He went even further in his resentment with what he termed "association with their silly little game." The club players responsible for the disputed report conceded them selves hasty In claiming a win that reflected so little credit even were It possible to authenticate, and, with that reportorlal misstep to guide them, pointed out inaccuracies in the statement of the charges against them. The members of the club team admittedly were more amused than concerned by such statements an the All-Stars' self nomination as "Medford's leading basketball team" despite a trouncing from Medford high school's fourth string, and by the startling finale to the charges, which stated that In the second half "St. Mary's academy entered the con test."
