as you that the good Queen Semiramis built them over a hundred years ago.Never have they been broken through. Go back and tell your mother and littlebrother and the baby that the walls of Babylon will protect them and theyneed have no fear."Day after day old Banzar stood at his post and watched the reinforcementsfile up the passageway, there to stay and fight until wounded or dead theycame down once more. Around him, unceasingly crowded the throngs offrightened citizens eagerly seeking to learn if the walls would hold.To all he gave his answer with the fine dignity of an old soldier, "The walls ofBabylon will protect you."For three weeks and five days the attack waged with scarcely ceasingviolence. Harder and grimmer set the jaw of Banzar as the passage behind,wet with the blood of the many wounded, was churned into mud by the neverceasing streams of men passing up and staggering down. Each day theslaughtered attackers piled up in heaps before the wall. Each night they werecarried back and buried by their comrades. Upon the fifth night of the fourthweek the clamor without diminished. The first streaks of daylight,illuminating the plains, disclosed great clouds of dust raised by the retreatingarmies.A mighty shout went up from the defenders. There was no mistaking itsmeaning. It was repeated by the waiting troops behind the walls. It wasechoed by the citizens upon the streets. It swept over the city with theviolence of a storm.People rushed from the houses. The streets were jammed with a throbbingmob. The pent-up fear of weeks found an outlet in the wild chorus of joy.From the top of the high tower of the Temple of Bel burst forth the flames ofvictory. Skyward floated the column of blue smoke to carry the message farand wide.The walls of Babylon had once again repulsed a mighty and viscous foedetermined to loot her rich treasures and to ravish and enslave her citizens.Babylon endured century after century because it was fully protected. Itcould not afford to be otherwise.86Brought To You Byhttp://TheDiamondsMine.com
The walls of Babylon were an outstanding example of man's need and desirefor protection.This desire is inherent in the human race. It is just as strong today as it everwas, but we have developed broader and better plans to accomplish the samepurpose.In this day, behind the impregnable walls of insurance, savings accounts anddependable investments, we can guard ourselves against the unexpectedtragedies that may enter any door and seat themselves before any fireside.WE CANNOT AFFORD TO BE WITHOUT ADEQUATE PROTECTION87Brought To You Byhttp://TheDiamondsMine.com
