THE STORY.

Jezebel with rising infection and add

indicated the astonishment, fndfgna.
tion, scorn and contempt which surged
over her. King Ahab in confusion
struggled to make answer, but he had
only spoken few falterfng words
when Jezebel broke out again:
Here thou hast been seeking for
thy enemy and the enemy OF thy peo-
pie for the past three years, and when
the gods give him into thy hands thou
lettest him get quite away again!"
"But 1t was not the gods that gave
him into my hands," Ahab protested,
'for he came boldly to meet me, say
ing his God had sent him."
His God!" scornfully repeated Jez-
ebel. What god is there beside the
god Baal whom we Worship"
And he has asked that all the
prophets Of Baal and the prophets of
the groves who eat at thy table shall
meet him on Mount Carmel" Ahab
continued. without answering Jeze-
bells question.
Thou fool!" shrieked Jezebel, let.
ting hor passion quite get the better
of her and so distorting her face that
she seemed more demon than woman.
"Thinkest thou that he will meot
them there? Surely, he seeketh only
to put thee to further confusion and
shame. The dirty dog, the vile hypo-
critic, dare. not show his face before
the prophets OF Baal."
But obadiah declareth that there
is no doubt but that Elijah will
be on Mount Carmel at the ap-
pointed time," protested Ahab.
"And what reason hath obadiah for
supposing anything?" contemptuous-
ly demanded Jezebef verify, I be.
lieve sometimes that 1t is he who
has kept Elijah hidden from my
wrath during all these years.
Thou speakest unJustly," protested
Ahab. "foi the king hath no more

taking lessons from an artist In tur-
key-calling, and by means OF scraping
a small cedar box on the barrels OF
his gun, after having previously rub
bed a quantity Of common chalk on
the barrels, he had managed to learn

seRMoNETTe.

"The God that answereth by
fire, let him be 0od."-Fire was
the element over which the god
BaaI was supposed to have spe-
cIaI power, and when Elijah pro-
posed his test Il appeared
In every way reasonable to the
people and the prophets Of BaaI.
The fire should be a sign to the
people az to which was the true
God. The result Of the test we
know.
Fire was the symbol Of Gods
presence, and II was the fire
which God had kIndled and
which. the priests were to keep
constantly burning by which the
fire on the altar Of sacrifice was
to be klndIed. Long since be-
cause Of the apostasy Of Israel
had this fire been quenched, and
now II the altar fire was re-
kindIed II must be from God.
Thus was Elijah choosing a
token which would at once test
the strongest claim Of Baai and
at the same time bring the peo-
pie together In the divlneIy-or-
dered form Of worship, and make
possible the revelation Of Gods
presence and power.
The child Of God need never
fear the test which involves the
true elements Of worship and
seeks the revelation Of Gods
presence and power. But we
must remember that Elijah was
three years getting ready for
this task on Mount Carmel.
Three years Of waiting. Three
years of prayer. Three years
Of Fellowship with God. Three
years Of simple, chiIdlike de-
pendence upon his care and
protection. And then came the
call from God and the opportu-
nifty for service. ~
II was the testimony Of Moody
as under his leadership the fires
Of revival were kindled wherever
he went, that II was the result
Of the Ions-continued prayers
and the patient waiting Of some
saint or group of saints. II is
prayer and faith which brings
down from heaven the manifest
power and presence Of God to
the defeat and the obstruction
of the evil.
Fire typifies a two-foId proc
ess Of manifestation Of God.
That Of purifying and cleansing
and that Of Judgment.
Gods children are purified and
cieansed by the operation Of his
word. "Now, ye are clean
through the word which ! have
spoken unto you," said Christ.
Just az the impurities are
burned out and the pure gold
left, so by the processes which
God is carrying out In his chill
dren he is burning out the dross
In order that the pure gold %
Righteousness and truth may be
made manifest.
