The morning sermon, suggested by Palm
Sunday, was upon 1" Christ as King of the
World" The children's sermon was upon
a. Procrastiua ton" In the evening the ser
mon was upon Ahab and Jezebel." Dir.
Cruzan said In Faust" Goethe makes the
hero sell himself to the devil. The idea is
not only biblical, but it is an everyday
danger. This is the charge which God
brings against Ahab that g he had sold him
self to do evil" What was it that Ahab de-
sired so much2 a kitchen garden. It
seems strange that Ahab should set SO much
by so small matter. And yet II is IN little
things that character is tested. He had set
his heart upon having that one piece Of land.
Have it he would. The devil waited lie
knew there was no hurry. Just when land
was highest in Samaria, using his emisssry
Jezebel as a go-between, the devil bid for
Ahab's soul. There was little chaffering,
hut The result was certain-Ahab sold him
self This old story is for us. Every man
who chooses sinful life sells himself. We
can permanently part with character. We
can sell conscience and the will. We can
put out of our possession the divine posi-
bilities of life. We can become, through
acts seemingly unimportant, SO mortgaged
and bankrupted in sim that a critical times
of temptation certain to come, the last valu-
able thing, the sacred and inalienable pos
session, is staked and lost-the man bar
gains himself away! Aud this we all are in
danger of doing. Have You been trading
with the devil e? You have priceless posses
sious of purity truth, honor, tenderness Of
conscience, integrity of will, character, and
above ALL the source of all, an immortal
soul Now for these what does the devil
bid -? Money? Pleasure? Temporary sue
cess Sensual qualification? Ahab got
more substantial price in his bit of real
estate out Of which to make kitchen
garden.
There is a final act to every tragedy. 1t
gives the final adjustm Ahab came to
take possession of bit of ground for which
he had shed innocent blood, and paid so
high price. AS he looks over the coveted
vineyard, suddenly Elijah, tall. dark, awful
as fate itself, stands before him and delivers
his message: Hast thou killed and also
taken possession? Thus saith the Lord, in
the place where the dogs licked the blood of
Naboth, shall dogs lick thy blood, even
thiner The day- of retributiou comes.
