THE BROKEN COVENANT.

IDOLATR0Us WORSHIP .-When Moses
and Joshua were descending the mountain
with the two tables upon which were engraved
the commandments, the writing of which
had been done by Divine direction, they
heard the sound of revelry made by the idol
atrous worshipers in the camp of Israel,
which Joshua thought might be the noise of
war. ocoasioned by an attack upon the camp
by the tribes inhabiting the wilderness of
Sinai. But Moses declared that it was not
the usual sound of battle,-of conquerors or
conquered-which they heard, but the sound
of antiphonal songs which were employed in
worship. When they entered the riotous
camp they saw the dancing and the image
which was the occasion or instrument, if not
the object, of their ceremonies of worship,
and in the heat of his righteous indignation
at 80 fragrant violation of the covenant
into which they had so solemnly entered, he
dashed the stables of the covenant" to
pieces at the foot of the mountain. The
breaking of the tablets containing the COM
mandments may have been a symbolic act,
declaring that Israel had broken the cove
nant which GoD had made with his people to
obedience and faithfulness. To show his
contempt for the image and it's worthless
ness as an object or instrument of Divine de-
pendence, and also, it may be, as a sign of
their punishment-that they should drink the
cup of their iniquity-he caused the golden
image to be burned and ground to dust,
which was strewn upon the waters of which
the Israelites drank. The image was proba-
bly, carved in wood, which was plated with
engraved gold. The powdered charcoal and
gold dust were cast into the fountain or
stream of water which supplied the camp of
Israel.
CUNNING IN PLACE OF COURAGE
When the calf was destroyed Moses called
Aaron to account, and by implication, ac-
cording to the record, charged the RESPONSE
bility of the sin which had been committed
upon him, whom he had appointed TO hear
and answer the complaints of the people
during his absence. [Hur is never again
mentioned in Biblical history. There is an
cient tradition that he was slain for resisting
the demands of the people at this time.l Aaron
relates to Moses the story of the proceed
ings, and declares in effect that he did not
intend to do such thing. He required their
costly ornaments, a sacrifice which he may
have thought they would not be willing to
make, and when they brought them he gave
them to the artisans who produced the calf,
the occasion of the idolatrous worship. But
standing in the place of Moses, their Divine
ly appointed leader, Aaron should have cour-
sgeously resisted the demands of the people,
and endeavored to encourage their faith in
the Unseen One, whose power had 30 fire.
quently aud recently been msrvelously man
ifested in their behalf, and whose symbol of
fire and smoke, which had been their guide
hitherto, then rested upon the mountain
which Moses had assembled to commune with
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1888-06-30

i'm, their true GoD, who had promised with
an oath, or covenant, to prosper and bless
them on the condition of their faithfulness.
This he would have done had he been worthy
of the position he occupied, even at the cost
of his life. He appears to have lacked the
courage which qualities for successful moral
leadership, and resorted to cunning expe-
dent to defeat the object he dare not op-
pose. wise cunning may be useful expe-
dent of administration when it succeeds;
but when it fails, as it often does, it is most
disastrous. Competent. moral leaders do
not temporize with forms of evil, especially
in great emergencies, or when fundamental
principles are involved. Moral courage,
rather than political craftiness qualities for
successful moral leadership.
AN INsURRECTION.-Fro the whole
account of the transaction it appears that
there was an insurrection in the camp of
Israel. Aaron declared to Moses that the
people were "set on mischief or evil;' and
it is further declared that ''they were broken
loose" (not naked, as in the Common YER
sion) that is, they were in an unrestrained
COQulblOn Oh lAWl6s5uebSs AdTOu uhu ldiiou
to successfully govern them, and they were
in open rebellion. Idolatry was itself trea-
son, and all involved in it were in rebellion
against JEHOVAH, the King of Israel. Insur-
reotion and anarchy in the camp of the Isra-
elites would incur the contempt of the tribes
inhabiting the country in which they were,
and make them an easy prey for their enc
mice, the Amalekites xvii. 8-18), and per-
haps others. When Moses saw the situation,
he determined to Immediately suppress the
rebellion. He must have either done this or
given up the work he had undertaken to do
with his people. He appears to have called
upon the loyal to volunteer their help:
"Whoso is on the LORDS side let him come
unto me-" The gate of the camp was the
place of public assembly, where public bust
ness was transacted. What follows the Les
son describes the suppression of the rebel
lion and the punishment of the rebels and
whether by military force or judicial proceed
ings, in the light of all human history the
end justifes the means: mo sane critic will
censure the subjugation of the mob"

An ugly complexion made Nellie fright,
Her face was all pimply and red;
Though her features were good and her blue
eyes were bright,
"What plain girl is Nelliep' they said.
But now, as by magic, plain Nellie has grown
As fair as an artists bright dream;
Her face is as sweet as flower new-blown,
Her cheeks are like peaches and cream.
As Nellie walks out in the fair morning light,
Her beauty attracts every eye,
And as for the people who called her fright,
"Why, Nellie is handsome;" they cry.
And the reason of the change is that Mel

covery, which regulated her liver, cleared her
complexion, made her blood pure. her breath
sweet. her face fair and rosy, and removed
the defects that had obscured her beauty.

THE BEsETTING SIN OF IsRAEL.-Dur-
Babylon, the besetting sin of Israel was
manifested in that tendency to adopt idola-
trous forms of worship. The people were
constantly allured to worship after the man.
ner of the idolatrous tribes and nations with
whom they came in friendly contact. Baal
worship and the worship of Moloch, prac-
ticed by the Canaanitish tribes, was an al
Turing temptation to which the Israelites fire.
quently yielded. Solomon, as one of the
evil effects of his liberal foreign policy, and
specially influenced by his Pagan wives,
established idolatrous worship in the very
presence of the Temple, if not, indeed, in
the royal palace and holy city. His son Re-
hoboam, who led the revolt of ten tribes
erected golden calves at Bethel and Dan,
and appointed these as places of popular
worship for the new Kingdom of Israel"
The burden of the denunciations of the
Hebrew prophets were against the sin of
idolatry.
OUR ID0Ls-We do not make images
and serve them as gods, or use them as sym
bols of GoD, as did the Israelites. And yet
the injunction of the apostle John, which we
have for the Golden Text of the Lesson, is
applicable to US: "My little children, guard
yourselves from idols." The employment of
forms and ceremonies of worship that do not
truthfully represent a genuine worshipful
spirit, may be idolatrous. If we do not wor-
ship "golden calf" we may be tempted, in
various forms to worship Mammon, the per-
sonifcation of wealth. To set the supreme
affection of the heart upon any object or at
tainment, other than GoD and his truth and
righteousness, is a form of idolatry. And
many are the substitutions which men make
in their hearts for him who is the Ruler of
the universe and the Father of spirits
Wealth, Pleasure, Beauty, knowledge, and
many other things, have their worshipers.
The chief idolatry is that of Self. 1t is an
offense against the rightful Governor of all
things when we place on his throne anything,
whether material or ideal, which sways US
from our allegiance to everlasting truth and
Righteousness and Love. We can find prog
ress, permanent peace and Joy in the worship
and obedience of COP alone; never in yield
ing without restraint to our animal propensi-
ties and passions, or in thoughts of Self as
our sole care, object of love and source of
satisfaction. If we serve COP, we truly live
and enjoy; if we serve Self alone, we are
spiritually dead, and need arousing to new
ness of life."-Reu. G.. L. Demarest, d. d.

Whate'er that idol be,
