for sin, but TO proclaim the glory of Je-
hovah to the nation. While he beheld

Do we not leave the task which We
avoid to be done by others? And are We
not uniting ourselves for any thorough
workmanship by thus Sinking present
duty? Spiritual completeness consists in
learning the lessons God would have US
learn: doing the tasks, pleasant and
otherwise. that present themselves as
part OF His service; contributing as lib
orally as we can, of time of goods, OF
gifts, to aid His cause. doing il all with
sanity and system and for love OF Him.
All the gold We leave behind
When turn 10 dust again.
Though our avarice may blind us.
We have boarded quite In vain
Since neither can direct IN.
BY the winds of fortune tossed,
Nor in other worlds expect it
What we've boarded we have lost.
But each merciful ation.
Seed of pity, wisely sown.
What We gave. in self-negation
We may safely call our own,
For the treasure freely given
Is the treasure that we hoard;
Since the angels keep In heaven
What is lent unto the Lord.

In one respect the call of Ezekiel diff
fers from that of all the prophets. His
| message is to be based upon the truths OF
the Scriptures He was not to speak as
the Spirit moved him, but was to be the
eXpositor of the word OF God jeremiah
was directed to preach the truths found
in the recently discovered book Of Deu-
teronOmy. but Ezekiel is commanded to
eat the roll containing the message that
he would preach. He was to master the
book before he tried prophecy. The false
prophets preac he'd half truths. Ezekiel
must receive the word from God and de-
liver an unabridged message. His minis
try was one with jeremiah, calling upon
the people to repent, that God might exalf
them. Calvin truly says: God made Jere-
miah and Ezekiel the instruments of ar
raigning the Jews guilty, and holding
up before them the sentence of condem-
nation.
The early portion or his prophecy refer
red peculiarly to the peris and punish.

the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves

task. The condemnation of judah WAS
not vindication of hearhenism- EZe-

The Prophets Call.

Ezekiel tells in a simple and eloquent
statement in the opening verses of his
prophecy the circumstances of his call to
the prophetic office. Now it came to
pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth
month, in the fifth day Of the month. as
/ was among the captives by the river
Chebar. that the heavens were opened.
and l saw visions of God" The NTH day
of July 592 B. G., was the eventful hour
in the life of the priest who five years
before had been taken from the temple
service into a strange land, where ne
was compelled to secure living. In the
hour of sacrifice, suffering and sorrow
work of a prophet. His heart beat in
sympathy with jeremiah, whose mes
sages had stirred his soul. Many con-
ference was probably held by the pa
triotic exiles who wept as they recalled
Jerusalem, and could foresee the coming
catastrophe that would blot Judah from
the ranks of nations. There were false
prophets that kept up hopes of saving
Jerusalem and of an early return to the
sacred city
1t was to oppose this popular and base
less hope that God called Ezekiel five
years after he had been carried cap
tive into Babylon. The young priest $
memories of the tempe worship and
his zeal on behalf of righteousness. re-
ligion and reform had united him with
the party of jeremiah, that hoped that
the nation would heed the call TO repent
and return to the worship of Jehovah.
The huge figures that guarded the royal
palace and pagan temples of Babylon APP
pealed to the young priest. and in the
vision he beholds their spiritual signifi-
cance-the power. majesty and glory of
Jehovah ruling over all nations and peo-
Pile In the darkness, despair and de-
preston of the exile, the truth that God
was not limited to any nation or TO the
temple was revealed
