ishness puffed up with the pride and
delusions of sin. Do we, then, by our
own inactivity Incidence and lack of
faith classify ourselves with them,
even though we have done nothing to
positively place us in that number?
The fifth woe was spoken against the
idolatry of the Chaldeans, and we read
in the preceding chapter that his mite
is his God and he sacrifices to the in
struments of his success. Have we
really, after all, gotten away from just
those fundamental principles of lido
latry? We believe in the living and
the true God, but are We willing to or
der our lives in compliance with every
principle that he has declared? Hon
esty is the best policy Do we believe
it? Are we glad Of it? We must not
be deluded by the present dividends,
though there can be no question as to
what is the most profitable even for
the present; but there is to be a final
demonstration of principles in accord
ance with Gods eternal principle that
honesty is the best policy, and no other
can stand.
Do We find comfort, inspiration and
hope in this text. which is both a prin-
eiple and a prophecy? For the earth
shall be filled with the knowledge of
the glory of the Lord, as the waters
