Modern Lessons from the Rechabftes
Jer. IS; Ia Is. IN.

One OF the most dramatic In Hebrew
history is the rebuke which jeremiah admins
tered 10 his nation by the acted parable Of the
Rechabites. Taking the leaders of this family
into room Of the temple he placed wine before
them and solemny bade them drink. But they
stanchly and steadily refused. saying that Jona-
dab. their ancestor. had commanded them to
live a hardy shepherd life in tents and never to
touch strong drink; they proposed to obey him.
Whereupon jeremiah made proclamation: Be
hold. my people. what obedience these Rechabites
render TO mere human father. and take shame
for your disobedisnce. by your evil lives TO your
Father in heavenr'

given US warnings against strong drink as earnest
