church is not garrison to hold a fort
here and there, but victorious legion,
sweeping on to the conquest of the
world. The Book says: The wicked
flee when no man pursueth. But as
said by Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst,
They make better time when the
righteous are after them
Zone man whose life is belted on
the Omnipotent is able to start a re-
vOlution or inaugurate a reformation
that will change the very course OF
human history. This enc thing do
said Paul, and he started mighty
movement before which thrones have
toppled over, sceptres have fallen,
crowns have crumbled, hoary with age,
and colossal in grandeur and extent,
have been completely overthrow.
1.-The man in the pulpit must voice
the truth of God and make straight
the way of his Lord. Lastly, we invite
your attention to the inevitable and
IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT
to which this meeting of Ahab and
Elijah led All Israel was gathered
together upon Mount Carmel. This
description of the place is given by the
Bible Commentary: No spot could
have been better adapted for the thous-
ands of Israel to have stood, drawn up
on the gentle slopes, the rock shoots
up in an almost perpendicular wall OF
more than 200 feet in height on the
side of the Vale Of Esdraelon. This
wall is visible from all of the surround
ing heights The conspicuous summit
over 800 feet above the sea, on which
the affairs were placed, presents an
esplanade spacious enough for the
King and Priests of Baal to stand on
one side and Elijah on the other"
There is an abundance of stone OF
which to build the altar. There, not
far away, is a perennial spring, fS-o----l
which Elijah could obtain the copiouo
supplies of water which he used. The
summit is 1000 feet above the Kis,hon,
which noiselessly runs so near the base
of the mountain, so that the priests
of Baal could in few minutes be TAX
en- to the brook and slain there. Or.
Milliken says: 1.-THE memories of this
scene were not less remarkable than
the location itself. Elijah could recall
the fact that in past times of gloom,
God had there saved his people, not so
much by many as by few. There IN
that famous valley woman was raised
I'D to be delivered of Israel in one OF
it's darkest hours; and the song OF De-
borah, the grandest of national tri-
umphaI odes, had celebrated the VIC
tory over Jabin and his hosts. There
Gideon had made the plain echo with
his thrilling, inspiring war-cry, and
with his little band of 300 had routed
the vast hordes of the Midionites. Even
in later ages this has never failed to be
a great eastern battlefield of the ma
tions, and when the seer i. the Apoca-
lypse describes the first issue OF the
struggle between the Conquering Re-
deemer and the embattled powers OF
the whole world, he gathers them to-
gether in the place which is called in
Hebrew Hor- Magedon, or the noun
tain of Megeddon.
