A ND having tarried by the roadside.
n and given the wicked prophet time
to overtake him, the man of God was
ready to take the next step in the d.
rection of positive disobedience to his
Lords commands. The prophet was
not willing to disobey God. oh. no! He
knew what Gods command was. and he
repeated it to the Betheilte who had
overtaken him, but he was ready to lis
ten to a lying voice, and willing to be-
lieve that God had changed His mind
and had sent him a message by some
one else. This reveals to the Christian
one of his greatest perils. Not willing
to deliberately transgress the command
of his Lord, and knowing what that COM
mand is, there come lying tongues within
and without to make him believe that
God had changed His mind in his par
ticular case. and that he may return
to Bethel and eat and drink and have
a good social time. AnalyZe the easOn
ing which your subtle and Maynard
heart has used when you have turned
aside from the path of duty. and you will
find that you led yourself, or were led
by some false prophet. to believe that
God did not mean what He said. The
devil knows that there are many, many
Christians whom he cannot get to do
wrong unless he can make them believe
that for some reason or other God has
not meant what He said, and in the guise
of an angel he brings a new message
which is directly counter 20 Gods COM
mand. The prophet believed this lying
Bethelite, because he wanted to. He
wanted to go back to Bethel. He wanted
to partake of the good things which were
to be had during that festival occasion.
All the time he had been sitting I'M
der that oak he had been lusting for
the forbidden food, and wondering why
God had been so cruel as to deny him
thus, when he had>served Him SO faith
fully. And so when Mr.. Lying Prophet
came up he was glad to hear and receive
his message and return with him.
Turned aside! What a sad spectacle.
Such splendid service, so well on the way
back to the place where God could COM
mend and bless. But lettering under the
shade of self-ease., longing for the forbid
den things, listening to q voice other
than that of God, led to failure. And so
it will you and me, dear Christian work
err. How often we are turned aside, just
as the prophet of old. Eye were rum
ming we'll; who hindered you hat We
should not obey the truth? This per-
suasion came not of Him that calleth
YOU" Take heed! Learn the lesson OF
the prophet of old. Be constant be

1t was only doing what this prophet Of

your way back to judah, there to meet
your Lord, there to receive at His hands

.FTHE man Of God had not loitered on
l the way, he never would have been
overtaken by the wicked prophet of
Bethel. All kinds of temptation come
to n when thus delaying on the path
way Of duty. The man Of Sod was in
viting disaster just the moment he light
ed from his ass and stretched his weary
body on the green sward under that en-
ticing shade, and you and l invite similar
danger and defeat when we delay in our
Christian service. We run we'll for a
time, and then failure comes. Why so
often we ask ourselves. We point to
the service behind and think that it Ia
strange that we could have so %grievous-
ly fallen, when we were serving so 10y
ally and faithfully. But the secret OF
our failure, the reason we nave turned
aside, is because we have stopped doing,
and have allowed the false prophet Of
temptation. to overtake us and lead us
astray. Many a temptation would fail
to overtake the Christian if he were
faithfully going forward on the pathway
of duty which led back to Judah, the
place from whence you had started at
Gods command, and the place to which
you must again come before eating and
drinking and taking your ease. In the
quiet communion Of your closet you re-
ceive your commission for service. God
speaks to you. He tells you of service
to render, of a message to deliver, and
you go forth to obey the command. But

side and temptation comes and turns you
aside. Mr.. Moody, when holding meet
ings at st. Louis at one time, was ap-
preached after the service by one of his
ushers who told him that there was a
group of the most influential men and
women of the city who wished to be in
troduced to him. This was very flatter-
ing attention, surely. Mr.. Moody had
just delivered one of his most powerful
and effective sermons. and was busy here
and there with the inquirers, while this
company Of distinguished people wait
ed to meet the great evangelist. But
when Mr.. Moody had finished all the Lord
had given him to do, he quietly, and I'M
observed, slipped oct OF the rear door
and went to his room. And later, in
explaining his apparent d%iscourtesy, he
said that he feared to tarry for the
words of adulation and flattery; he must
get back to his DON and report first
to his Lord Who had sent him forth.
Oh. that we were all more obedient and
faithful.
