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 di-
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 Bethelite who had
overtaken him, but he was ready TO lis
ten to lying voice, and willing to be-
lieve that God had changed His mind
and had sent him 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 reason
ing which your subtle and wayward
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 new message
which is directly counter to 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 un-
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, lOrging for the forbid
den things. listening to a voice other
than that of God, led TO failure. And so
il will you and me, dear Christian work.
er How often we are turned aside, just
as the prophet of old. ''Ye were run
ming well; who hindered you that We
should not obey the truth? This per- |
suasion came not of Him that calleth |
you" Take heedi Learn the lesson of |
the prophet of old. BE constant Be |

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

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

when Mr.. Moody had finished all the Lord
had given him to do, he quietly, and un-
observed, slipped out Of the rear door
and went to his room. And later, in
explaining his apparent discourtesy, he
said that he feared to tarry for the
