CONCLUSION.-In the last para
graph we have the optimistic view that
runs all through the sacred writings
Never was there any portrayal of mans
degeneracy hut there was given the
promise and hope of a brighter future.
It was so when Adam sinned (Gen.
iii15), when the antediluvian world had
become corrupt Gen. Vi.1S, when
Israel was rebellious in the wilderness
(Numb xiv:3D. In each case after
the recital of iniquity, that after gen.
eratiOns might take warning, the eye
is turned to the coming time when God
shall lead men into the ways of right
eousness and truth. The sad story Of
Israel, chosen of God, settled i'm the
land of promise, divided In twain,
carried into captivity, restored again.
yet finally lacking in true piety, is TO
be followed by that other story when
Jesus shall gather the new Israel from
| among the Gentiles and they shall
glorify God and fill the earth with His
| DraiSeS

escape from deserved censure. So the
priests, on hearing the accusation made
against them, are represented as sur
prised, anxious to know wherein they
had offended The Lord answers.
Their disposition was shown in the
manner in which they performed the
duties Of their office. The law with
great eXplicitness required that animals
offered in sacrifice should be without
blemsh Uev. Xii:19-20), thereby incul-
eating the principle of holiness. But
these priests had polluted the altar by
burning thereon the refuse of the focks
and herds, the animals which were
blind or lame and sick This conduct
was considered to be an evidence OF
contempt for the ordinances of religion,
an utter disregard Of the will of God
as expressed in His own law, and a
consequent perversion and abuse of
sacred things The perfunctory per-
formances were only evil in the sight
of God. Qsa. HID.
DISPLEASURE Verse S).-But sup
pose imperfect animals were sacrificed
why should God be displeased? Might
not this be the best use to make of the
blind, the lame, and the sick? They
are unfit for any other use. AS they
are to be burned why regard the blem-
ish? These thoughts passed through
the minds of the priests as they heard
the words of condemnation pronounced
! upon them. SO every transgressor
! seeks some apology for his deeds,
! framing new standard to suit his
| own notions, and toning down the
! Divine law by which he is unwilling
! to be governed. The prophet, as the
| piece of God, replies to these
| questions before they are put in words.
| He bids the priests to make similar
| offerings to the civil governor. 1t was
| required that the people should furnish
the table of the king with food. If
| blind and lame animals were brought
to him would he be satisfied? Would
he regard with favor any subject in all
the land who would do this? And if an
earthly magistrate would be dspleased
how much more ought the Almighty?
REPENTANCE (verse N.-This
argument must have silenced the ex-
cusing priests. At least the prophet
appears to consider that they have no
ground for justification of their con-
duct, and he promptly calls upon them
to repent and to seek the Lord that
they may find mercy. He also calls
their attention to the fact that the ma
ton was suffering some inflictiOn as n
judgment because of the sins of the
priests. They We're not only offensive,
but they were the occasion of Calami-
ties visited upon the people. This
must have been to them an oppressive
reflection. 1t is bad enough to suffer
for wrong doing,-it is greatly worse
to involve others in those sufferings
But in thus turning to God the prizes;
must humble themselves as offenders
They may not come as ministers of
religion, inasmuch as in that capacity
they are no longer acceptable. But, as
penitent sinners, they may first FIND
pardon, and afterward they may min
lister acceptably.

PREDICTION (verse 1D.-Still to
humble these priests and incline them
to the repentance that had been urged
God presents a most wonderful pro-
diction. He would soon terminate that
dispensatiOn, and the priesthood which
had been profaned, and deprave the
nation of their idolized privileges, but
He would cause His name to be
adored by the Gentiles all over the
earth. In every place their spiritual
worship should ascend as incense and
a peace offering into His presence,
through the great High Priest whom
He had appointed and the new coven-
ant which He would ordain. So that,
whilst the Jews, especially the priests,
had despised and would more and
more desplse, His name, it should be
rendered great and honored among the
heather in all parts of the earth. Thus
it was shown that the purpose of God
We're not centered in the chosen people,
neither were they conditioned upon any
| faithfulness on their part. He could
| work out His sovereign designs al
! though men were unfathful to trusts
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-12-09

DISHONOR Verse 6).--The Lord
complains of Il lack of reverence on the
part of the priests, and declares that
they despise His name. To exhibit
The gravity of tE!s Ccnse He contrasts
ii with those affections which We're
commonly displayed among men
Throughout the oriental world the son
was taught to honor his father. The
commandment bearing on that subject
was the first in the second table of the
decalogue. (lIX XX:l2) and the keeping
of it was held to be a condition of long
life while disrespect to parents was
considered a serious crime, deserving
severe punishment prov. XXX:1O. In
like manner the servant in those times
was expected to show honor to his
master How surprising that people,
schooled for centuries in these funda-
mental doctrines of their own domestic
and social system, should fail to rever-
ence the Almighty, who was both
father and ruler of their nation! How
| culpabe those ministers of religion
who disregarded the very things which
they We're appointed to teach and pro-
| mote.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-12-09

point needed to be enforced. 1t Is
difficult for an official of religion to
forget his official standing and pre-
rogative and to sue for mercy like any
other Tecreant, by the same methods
and upon the same conditions. But
the Jewish priests must do this, and
as Il motive prompting them thereto,
they must be made to know how ut
terly unworthy they We're. \ new
charge, that of selhshness, is therefore
urged against them. They would not
open the doors of the sanctuary,
neither would they kinde the fire upon
the altar, except for reward. They
were entitled to certain perqusites q
Cor. iX:13) but these had become to
them the chief motives to service.
They We're all miserable hirelings
whom Jesus had in mind (John KID.
Accordingly God did not any longer
regard them as His ministers, and no
service which they might render as
such would be acceptable to Him
They were thus placed on the basis OF
common humanity required to take a
sinners place and make a sinners
! plea.

TOPIC,-The international commit
tee has assigned very Inappropriate
subject, Lessons in Giving" TO the
passage set for our present study. Any
reader the most superficial even, must
see that i'm these six verses the in
spred writer is exposing and con-
demnng the irreligion prevalent in his
time. In verses and the Lord is rep
resented as speaking. In verses and
9 the prophet speaks In verses 10 ana
II the Lord speaks again. Each part
may be subdivided under two heads,
thus giving six themes, all bearing
upon the general topic, "lrreligion
Condemned" This order will be OBJ
served in this exposition. AS we pro-
ceed it will be seen that by a very di-
rect and logical line of thought the au-
thor steadily advances through the
subordinate items to the end reaching
most impressible conclusion, which
really forms the burden of the entire
book.
