| If the people had repented at the COM
mand of the Lord, would the kingdom Of
Judah have been preserved?
Why can there be no escape for sinners,

unless they repent?
Verses 7-lO-How do you account for it
that the priests and the prophets wanted
to kill jeremiah for delivering the mes
sage that God had given him?
If a professional priest, or preacher, is

vah that they make their life good by
genuine reform, through repentance of sin
and return to Gods true prophets for
guidance. He exposed the hypocrisy of
the priests and false prophets as we'll as
the false basis of hope in formal worship
and sacrifices. Formal service would not
be accepted. If they did not as a people
live up to the true religion then the tenn
pie would become like Shiloh. once the

jeremiah is the central figure. He had
supported, in response to the call Of God,
the work of Josiah. but he did not be-
come the great religious force and leader
OF Judah until the evil days of Josiah 8

would not hear his were.
The fire in his bones could not be ex-
tngushed. The divine impulse to speak

performs his duty will inevitably arouse
luminosity among men. He cannot please
God and the world. The successful bust
ness man pleases his customers. but the
standard for the prophet priest and
but God The church of God cannot be
run along the lines OF modern business
1t was inevitable that jeremiah by his
plain speaking would arouse bitter antag-
onsm. During the larger part of his life
the prophet was prosecuted by both
lessons for the next four Sundays through
some of these perilous days, when. con-
tinuaily in danger of losing his life. he led
fcrlorn hope. pointing out the dangers
that threa tened the nation and the rath-

- HE tragic death of Josiah marks
III the closing epoch OF Judah's his
tory. The reformation which he
inaugurated and carried out with such
drastic power did not reach the heart OF
the nation and failed to remove the cause
of Judah's sin. No nation or state can
ever be saved by law. You cannot COM
pei men to be righteous. The reforms
startod by JOSIAH did not penetrate into
the real life OF the nation. The changes
were of an outward religious nature.
The heart of the people remained uncon-
verted so that the reforms died with
josiah. The secret sins then became
open. The radical progressive prophetic
party Of righteousness, religion and re-
form was defeated. The reactionaries
gained control. The forces of disinte-
grafton soon revealed themselves in the
moral, reiisious. commercial and political
life of the people.
