DIR. ABBOTT'S SKETCH OF ELIJAH,
A Move to Encourage Bible Study in the
Original Language.
GLEAyINGS FROM CHURCH FIELDS
Lyman Abbott on Elijah.


The Sunday school lesson for to-morrow's
study is "Elijah at Horeb." Lyman
Abbott takes different view OF the lesson
than that of scripture e1positors generally.
Here is a part of what he has to say on the
lesson, and will no doubt be startling to
many Sunday school teachers:
Elijah was man of Puritan mold, an
Ironsides before the time of Cromwell's
Ironsides. He looked upon Baal and Baal.
worship with an enmity only family re.
f1ected in the hatred which Cromwell and
his soldiers entertained toward the Roman
Catholics of ireland. He might have said,
in the words of the later Hebrew psalmist,
II hate them with a perfect hatred" When,
therefore: at Mount Carmel the fire answered
his prayer, and his sacrifice was consumed,
and the whole populace, with one of those
sudden revulsions of feeling common to
democracies, proclaimed Jehovah alone to
be God, Elijah thought that his
time had come to extirpate idolatry
by one sudden and sharp blow. Without
authority either from the law of the land,
which, though it condemned idoiatry as a
capital offense, conferred no authority upon
any prophet to execute capital punishment
without judicial proceedings; without au-
thority from God, who had not commits
stoned him to be the executant of divine
wrath-which, indeed, man is never compe-
tent to execute, since man comprehends not
that lntermi1gling of pity and wrath which
constitutes mercy-without, therefore, au-
thority either from God or man, Elijah
called upon the people to put to death the
4OO priests of Baal, who had come hither,
not to be tried and executed, and who were,
indeed, under a kind of implied safe con-
duct from the King. The populace followed
the prophets demands. The waters of the
brook kishon ran red with the blood of
priests, some of whom may have been i'm
posters, many of whom undoubtedly were
themselves the victims of imposture. The
wind and the rain followed. The drought
was broken and the land refreshed. and
Elijah thought that the kingdom of Baal
had come to an end and the kingdom of God
was Immediately to be established.
Instead, he received from JezebeI, the
masculine Lady Macbeth of the weak and
wicked Ahab, who let 81 dare not wait upon
would, a message that his own life should
on the morrow pay fer the lives of her
prophets slain at his command. The popu-
lar enthusiasm expired as suddenly as it
had burst into action. He was without a
defender, so far as he knew almost without
a sympathizer or friend. Nowhere in the
land had he a refuge left for him. He fees
into the wilderness. and, in the discourage
ment which comes over him. deserted by
man and reproved by his own conscience Tor
his zeal without knowledge, conlesses his
fault. II am not better than nv fathers, 4"
he cries, and prays that he may die.
