The prominent position assigned to the priests as judges was in â€" accordâ€" ance with Deut. xvii. 9, xix. 1}.".. Cam. Bib.

The Levites were to be counsclors and officers to assist. i A very solemn and necessary caution, The case seems hopeless when the jJudge is corrupt. Is with you. Seq R. YV. "The judges in deciding cases against the rich and powerful were to strengthen themselves with the thought ‘God is with us‘"â€"W. E. Barnes. 7. Wherefore now. "Probably Jehoâ€"haphat discovered irregularities and wrongs in the administration of justice, such as showing respect of persons and the taking of bribes, and he according undertook an exâ€" tensive reform in the matter. His work no doubt consisted largely in removing evil judges and confirming the good in their office." III. A supreme court est Â¥8. Sâ€"11. II. Judges appointed.â€"vs. t7. 4. Again. This refers to his previous reâ€" forms described in chapter 17. Beerâ€" sheba. This was the southern exâ€" tremity of Judah. Mount Ephraim. The kingdom of Judah was boundeg gna the north by the mountains of Ephraim. Jehosaphat traveled the whole length of his kingdom and exâ€" amined everything himselft "to see that judgment and justice were porpâ€" erly administered among the people." Brought them back. Many probably had gone Into idolatry when they saw their king to intimate with idolâ€" aters, therefore he put forth every effort possible to rescue them and bring them back to the true religion. Those who truly repent of sin do all in their power to repair the damage ‘ they may have done to others. 5.. Set judges. The king appointed local magistrates in all the principal citâ€" les, according to the directions of the law (Deut, xvi., 1820), so that justice might be administered with ease and convenience. 6.

George wolden. busiâ€" ness agent of the union. set all doubts at rest, at a meeting of the teamsters‘ joint council. by announcing that the teamsters would remain at work as long as there was work for them to do. | Trying to Arbitrate. { New York, July 18.â€"The leaders of officers of the Amalgamated Meat Cutâ€" ters‘ and Butchers‘ UTnion of America, five thousand of whose members went out on strike toâ€"day. are in conference at , the local union headquarters: It is reâ€" ported that a plan for the arbitration of the wage difference, which caused the strike, is under discussion. Requests for police protection from many of the meat packere were received about the hour for work to begin at the establishments. No trouble had threatened, but the requests were a presautionary measure. At ons Forty thousand persons, approximateâ€" Iy, find employment in the big packing houses in Chicago, and this number alâ€" ready has been reduced oneâ€"half. _ The effect of the strike upon the mechanical and other departments, it is declared. will increase this army of unemployed in Chicago before the ena of the week to nearly 35,000. Arbitration is looked upon as the only means to avert a proâ€" longed strike. The strikers declare that they will be willing to consider any reaâ€" sonable proposition submitted from the ather side. Chicago, July 18.â€"With no sizgn of weakening on either side, the only ray of hope in the butchers‘ strike situation toâ€"day was the possibility that arbitraâ€" tion may intervene to »revent a labor war fraught with suffering and privation to the strikers and heavy loss to the packers. Nor is the effect of the strike confined to the employees and prickers, nor to the nine cities where the fight will be contested. The consuming public will bear a large share of the burden in higher prices for meats. Reports already have come from yarious cities that prices of the product have been raised. This advance was said to be but a forerunner of others if the conflict continued long. In addition to the 50,000 employees alâ€" ready on strike, upwards of 30,000 more are involved indirectly, and most â€" of| them probably will be made idle before toâ€"nignu. In addition to the tying up of the slaughtering departments of all the plants, the strike affects branch inâ€" dustrics, in which such articles as butâ€" terine, soaps, buttons, combs, are manuâ€" factured. _ The canning departments, where beans, soups, and all kinds of imeats are put up, are also hit hard. the union employese having gone out in a bodv.
