l. The vision ". I2). Lesson II Of the
! third quarter should now be reviewed. II:
Elisha saw it" That is, the ascension OF
| Elijah. Elisha saw this, however, not with
/ his natural eyes, Tor it was scene belong,
| ing to the spiritual world, and to behold
! it he must, like Tie young man mentioned
| IN chapter 6:l7, have bis inner senses I'M
! yelled. This sight was a special divine Ia
/ vor and was made by Elijah the condi-
| tional sign of Elisha obtaining a double
| portion of his spirit ~. 100. Ny father.
! This title OF affection was given by the
| younger prophets TO an cider. Elijah had
| been a father TO him IN his care and train
! ing, in love and legacy. These words
should be understood as an exclamation OF
wonder and amazemeut. Elisha sees his
spiritual father depart, and he sees the
chariot and the celestial steeds, and he
| calls after them all. Some think that
Elisha desired to convey the impression
that Elijah was more to Israel by his c0un-
sells, reproois and prayers than chariots
and horses. Rent them" This was a
common mode of expressing grief. Elisha
looked upon ElJah's departure as a per-
sonal bereavement. He had lost the guide
Of his youth; loneliness came over
him and he acted like heartbroEen
mourner

The mantle. This was the same mantle
with which he had been called by Elijah to
the prophetic Office, and by which Elijah
divided Jordan, Having the mantle was a
proof that he was invested with the au-
thority Of his master. STOOD by the
bank" He was the same man aud yet not
the same; like many another who has
gone to the gate of heaven with a depart
ing saint. He could no more lean on Eli
jah, but he found that he had received as
the prophets dying legacy, !. Ehiah's
mantle 2. Ehjah's God. 3, Eiijah's
spirit. 4. Elijah's office.
H. "Smote.' Elisha's first miracle was
identical with Elijah's last one. He acts
upon the faith that he would receive from
God the power which he had desired
Where is, etc. This question does not
imply doubt of Gods presence, but is an
entreaty for His power to show itself, and
give foretaste Of the spirit of Elijah
which had been promised
III. Searching for Elijah Tvs 15.l9) IL
Sons OF the prophets. The fifty who had
gone to a height to watch Elijah and
Elisha as they went across the Jordan w.
y, and were waiting for his return. They
said, etc When they saw the miracle
wrought by Elisha they were confirmed in
the belief that he was the diyinely APP
pointed successor Of Elijah Bowed
Themselves" Thus showing that they ac-
knowledged him as their head These
men were trained up in the schools Of the
prophets.
