DEEP SNOWS COVER STATE WATERSHED Interesting Summary of Conditions Issued by the State Water Supply Commission Streams of the State are generally Ice bound and the Susquehanna and Allegheny watersheds are covered with snow from one to twelve inches in depth, according to a survey of the stream conditions of the State at the end of October, just issued by the State Water Supply Commission. It is stated that the streams became ice bound at a much earlier date than usual and while they were at extremely low stages. Regarding the streams the report says: "Except in its lower reaches, the main Susquehanna is frozen, while tho tributaries in this basin are cov ered with ice varying from six to six teen inches in thickness. This water shed is under snow cover ranging from one to twelve inches in depth and the low temperature has furnished excep tionally fine sleighing In some locali ties. Tho Allegheny and Monongahela watersheds are covered with snow ranging from one to eleven Inches in depth, while tho Allegheny and Youghlogheny rivers are frozen at nearly all points, with the other west ern streams generally ice bound. "The navigation pools of the Schuyl kill and Lehigh rivers and the upper reaches of the Delaware are Ice cov ered. although the amount of accumu lated snow in the eastern part of the State is generally small, with none in the southeastern districts. It Is ex pected that the storm and thaw con ditions now prevailing over tho State will raise the present low condition of the streams." STUDY LIFE HISTORY IN OLD TESTAMENT Second-hand Religion Caused the Downf&ll of Jews; Forgot Fathers in Heathendom The International Sunday School Lies son for January 3 la "God's Pa tience With Israel,"' Judges 2:7-19. By William T. Ellis If, just for thlß one New Year Sun day, Mr. Average Man could discard his shallow sophistication and his American "smartness" and acquire for a few hours the spirit of sound wis dom, he would surely go apart for a time and take counsel with his grand fathers and with his grandchildren. This is a critical time; the most critical in all the history of the world. There never has been a New Year's season so solemnizing as the present. To meet the call of our great day suc cessfully we must look backward and forward; listen to the past and to the future; weigh our responsibilities to those who have gone before and to those who will come after us. Opportunely, the millions who base their serious thinking largely on the International Sunday School lessons will find a stimulus for the present occasion in the new course of lessons in Old Testament History which begin to-day The opening study is of a people who had gone back on their grandfathers. They were the third generation. Direct contact with the great personalities of the earlier day had been lost. Like the rest of us, they were so built that the.v needed great leader ship. Hut these Hebrews had to face fresh and difficult problems alone. They were called upon to stand on their own feet, and to prove by them selves their fidelity to their past and to their future. A searching question I concerning them—as concerning us— I Is. Were they of the sort to whom i grandchildren could look back in pride? The answer Is tersely told by the Scripture: "And also all that gen eration were gathered unto their fathers; and there arose another gen eration after them, that knew not Je hovah. nor yet the work which he had wrought for Israel. And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and served the Baalim; and they forsook Jehovah, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, gods of the peo ples that were round about them, and bowod themselves down unto them: and they provoked Jehovah to anger." After Joshua. What? The city of Philadelphia has of re cent days come under the spell of a powerful personality. "Billy" Sunday begins on the day of this lesson an evangelistic campaign in this city of a million and a half of people. On many counts it is the most significant re ligious enterprise attempted in an American municipality within the memory of the present generation. A stir of hope and a thrill of ex altation has been in the hearts of anxious observers as they have heheld the way in which the conservative old Quaker city has arisen to the ap proach of this religious Jeader. Hun dreds of thousands of men and women have gathered in biweekly preparatory prayer meetings. The ministers have assembled from time to time in the largest clerical gatherings the city has known for a generation. Tens of thou sands of men have already been added to Bible classes. The daily news papers are full of news of every phase of preparation for the campaign. The churches are athriil with expectation, so that observers say "The revival had already come." All of which is a modern com mentary on the need for Joshua. The Church's cry to-day is for great lead ers who can rally her forces for con quests commensurate with her might and her obligations. The momentum of Joshua and his associates had carried the Israelites into the third generation of life in Caanan. The pioneers had set them going, and they had continued under this impetus. Joshua and Caleb alone of all who entered the Promised Land had carried with them personal mem ories of marvelous providences that had accompanied the deliverance from Egypt. After the death of Joshua there remained the elders who had seen the mighty works of God in the first overcoming of the land. These men had possessed a first-halid, ex perimental knowledge of what Jehovah could do. When the \ew Generation Forgets Now the third generation was trying the dangerous experiment of living on second-hand religion. They had failed to acquire a fresh, vital, personal knowledge of the ways of God. The pressure of the peoples and the cus toms about them had steadily and in sidiously counteracted the forces of heredity. The tug and pull of heathen dom at times proved greater than the personality and memory of the fathers. There had been failure to root out the idolatry and the evils of the land—a failure which is a temptation that al ways besets good people. In conse quence, the Children of Israel were left environed by a seductive phi losophy of creed and conduct which threatened the very existence of their religion and mission. There came a great slump in the life of the Jews. A prevalent American notion Is that when on Broadway one should follow Broadway's fashions. The bright lights of the "Great AVhite Way" of the me tropolis are as the light of life to mul titudes of thoughtless persons. The standards which are almost wholly sensual, and which place outward seeming above Inward being, are ac cepted as prevalent and mandatory. Most of the men and women who pa rade Broadway in the neighborhood of Forty-secor.d street would be ashamed to be seen walking there with their old-fashioned parents. (Never mind what the parents would think: that Is another story.) The biography of a myriad of young people to-day is written In the words of the lesson. "They forsook the Lord j God of their fathers • • * om i f o ]_ lowed the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them and provoked the Lord to anger." Hie Lure of Immorality In passing the fact should be re called that the reason the Jews fell back so easily into idolatry was be cause of the appeal which the prac tices associated with idolatry have | always made to the senses. The Bible speaks In general terms of the Im morality associated with idol wor ship. Those of us who have traveled In idol-worshiping lands know that this characteristic still persists. Lln brldled license to indulge all imagin able and unimaginable sensual ex cesses Is literally a part of the Idolatry of the whole world. The monotheism laid down by Abra ham and Moses required a strict moral life; and every generation that has ever lived has found It a strain to adhere to a high code of morality. Especially great was the temptation to abandon this in the case of the Chil dren of Tsrael. because on every hand were seductive lures of fashionable idolatrous Immorality. War News from an Old Book The old proverb, "Like priest, like people," has many illustrations in this book of the Judges. When they had strong leadership the Jews did well; but there seemed to be little staying power in the mass of the people them selves. This Is called the Book of the Judges, but that word "Judges" does not mean administrators of the law. The Judges were the deliverers, the defenders, the champions, the rules, the heroes. There was little of the Judicial quality; for instance, in Sam son, yet he was one of the Judges. These rugged pioneers were history making men. The time they covered between the death of Joshua and the crowning of Saul is still a question of discussion among scholars, for it is not easy to tell how many of the events described were simultaneously and how many were successive'. The period of time is given as from one hundred and fifty to three hundred years by various authorities. This old Book, concerning whose 1 writer or compiler we know nothing, links up vividly to the present day becauso of the war in the near East. Familiarity with the Book of the Judges gives a better understanding of the present conflict along the eastern coast of the Mediterranean than the cablegrams in the dally newspapers. Here we find Jerusalem and Hebron and Gaza emerging in history. The new battles that impend are compre hensible in the light of these old con icts. The student of the Bible In these days has a groat advantage over his unversed neighbor when the talk turns to the most romantic phpse of the present war. Wanted—A Man Because it is so crowded with tales of personality, the Book of Judges Is one of the world's storehouses of ro mance. Here are dramatic episodes heaped up with lavish hand —stories, alas, they are mostly unfamiliar to the average company. Every one of them preaches the old, old homily of every day's need of a strong man. They hold aloft the banner, "Wanted—A Man." In the coming year's lessons from the formative history of the ancient people who are newly attracting the world's attention, followers of the In ternational series should find great messages for present-day living, both as Individuals and as a nation. BRITISH BATTLESHIP IS SUI IN CHAIEL [Continued From First Pago] was 430 feet long and carried a com plement of 750 men. She was heavily armored, and carried four 12-inch guns, twelve 6-inch guns and sixteen 12 pounders. She was provided also with four submerged torpedo tubes. The Formidable was launched in IR»S, and was a sister ship to the Ir resistible and Implacable. The Formidable bad assigned to her, according to the British navy list for December, various fleet officers, and consequently she undoubtedly was act ing as a flagship at the time of hey destruction. Her captain was Arthur N. Loxley and her commander Ciarlcs F. Ballard. Captain John C. was in command of the marines on ooavd. while the fleet surgeon was Godfrey Taylor and the fleet paymaster P. ,i. Ling. The chaplain is given as the Rev. George K. Robinson. On board the Formidable wore also sixteen midship men. BATTLES MURK NEW YEAR'S BEGIHIDG [Continued From First Page] able reception in Italy.

Ihe Germans found another British vic tim this morning and robbed the Brit ish navy of the sixteen-year-old but still useful battleship Formidable, of the same class as the battleship Bul wark which was blown up a few weeks ago off Sherncss. Loss of Life Heavy Apparently the loss of life on board the Formidable has been very very heavy, as only 71 members of her crew are known to have been saved. The officials, however, hold out hope that others may have hen picked up. The exact locality of this disaster has not been revealed.hut the fact that it occurred In the British Channel re calls the circumstance that British ships have been engaged in bombard ing the German positions on the Bel gian coast anil that German subma rines on several occasions In the past have attempted to torpedo them. As in previous disasters to British ships, the casualty list in this case in cludes many midshipmen, no fewer than 16 having been on board the Formidable.
