troubles by proposing a committee of
arbitration, and for a time it looked
as if he would succeed, but the typo
graphers got dissatisfied with the pro-
posed settlement and renewed the
strike. AS a consequence of the strike.

THE STORY.

THE consciousness of a work to be
done is the first condition of a
call to that work. God never calls
man into his ministry who is not SEN
sitive to the great need Of the world
for the gospel message. This is the
promise upon which we base this
story of the great Isaiah, the man
who could see visions and dream of
the marvellous grace and mercy of
God, the man who was richly endowed
with the grace of speech and wealth
Of imagination of the poet and the
strength and force of character of one
whose sole basis of action was the
Interchangeable law of God.
Richly endowed of God he early
consecrated his abilities to God and
came to know the joy of doing right
because it was right. In the day in
which he lived there were great temp
tations to impure, unholy living, for
about had crept Pm upon the kingdom
of Judah. leading many astray and low

moral standards of the people.
The kings of Judah, worldly ambi-
tious, and DESTROYS Of alliances which
would strengthen their hands against
enemies which rose up against the
nation from time to time, set the ex
ample which the people were only too
willing to follow. The road away from
Cod is broad and smooth, and for the
time being seems wonderfully attrac-
five. and so it was in the days in which
the events Of our story center.
It was popular in that day as it is
very often to-day to be so broad
minded as to be ready to be on COM
mon terms of intimacy with the world
ly prosperous, and to be so liberal as

les. but to be whatever circumstances
and conditions seem to require TO
gain the greatest amount OF comfort
and pleasure for the time being.
Such was the general status OF
public and private life in the days
when Isaiah was young man, and be-
cuse he held himself Loyalty to the
support Of Gods law, and would not
