But jeremiah calmly faces all
this seething mass of misunder-

anything but alone. His God was
with him, of course, as we have
seen, inspiring him with quiet
confidence. But the princes are
on his side, and they pronounce
a verdict of acquittal upon him;
people acknowledged, too. that
here is a true man. The elders
support him and rank him with
the great Micah. Even as a
prophet he is not so lonely as he
seems to be, for Uriah was equal
ly plainspoken and courageous.
But most delightful of all is 1t
to see the support accorded to
jeremiah by the great nobleman
Ahikam. He was a member OF
very distinguished family-a
family which, so far as We can
trace its history, was always pos
itively identified with good caus-

men. even in moments of danger
when such friendship counted for
much.
There is a sorrowful signifi-
canoe in the fact that the pro-

the priests and the prophets, were
bitterly opposed to Jeremiah. but

was supported largely by the
