Message of Amos
Is Needed
Today
By Rev. Henry A. Stimson, D. D.,
Pastor of Manhattan Congrega-
tional Church, New York.

II was in the days of King Amazlah
of judah and of Jerobam H. in Sa
maria. These were both long and
prosperous reigns in the middle of the
eighth century before Christ. They
were times of great luxury connected
with the rapid growth of the two cap
ital cities-Jerusalem and Samaria.
The old religious habits had been
largely set aside by the incoming of
foreigners. The displacing of religion
in the court had made wOrdliness
fashionable, and with entire light
! heartedness the people had given
themselves up to the pursuit of plea
ure and of wealth
Amos was a herdsman of small des-
ert sheep on the hills of Judah, some
dozen miles to the south of Jerusalem.
He describes himself as a ''pincher OF
wild figs" which evidently he gather
ed from time to time to supplement
by their sale the small earnings of his
poor flock. His home in the little
village of Tekoa was on a ridge some
5000 feet above the Mediterranean.
Alone with his flock he had before
his eyes many a reminder of the God
of his fathers who had brought them
out of Egypt and, delivering them
from the wilderness. had led them
across the Jordan and had given them
the promise of this land as their abid-
ing inheritance. And now God was
forgotten, and his people had fallen
into the ways of the heather. q
AS from time to time he went down
to the town to sell his fieeces or his
figs he was overwhelmed with what
he saw.
Communing alone with God, the
message of prophecy was given to
him. 1t consists of three short adj
dresses. The first pronounced the
Judgment of Jehovah upon the ma
tons, the second his Judgment upon
his own people. warning them that be-
cause he had known them and loved
them, therefore he would visit them
in chastisement In the third, con-
tanning our text, he warns them of
their danger exhorts them to return
to Jehovah and recalls his vision of
the blessedness that is awaiting them
in the distant future.
Bring your offerings" he says.
Keep your fasts, be followers of Je-
hovah in name. God is not deceived
by hypocrisy. Religion is character;
he sees through your shams; he
knows the perversion of your hearts
They that lie in beds of ivory and
stretch themselves on beds and couch
es; that eat lambs out of the flock
and sing idle songs to the sound of
| the viol that drink wine in bowls
| and anoint themselves with chief oils
and are not grieVed with the affection
of Joseph, they. shall go into captiv-
| ty, their revelreS shall pass away,
| for the Lord abhors the excellency Of
Jacob and their houses shall be smit-
ten"
In his distress over the people he
| cries unto the Lord: oh Lord Je-
| he has a vision of the turning away
| of the divine judgment. Then comes
the text. The Lord stands with the
plumb line in his hand and the plumb
| line becomes the graphic figure of the
| final word of God to his people.
So the plumb line was given to the
prophet as the message to his people.
We rejoice as we apply this test to
the Christianity of today. Let us see
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1912-03-17
what its woro is to us.

W0aL lJS WOTQ is 10 us.
Let us look first to the gospel that
we have to preach. That never was
more distinctive than it is now as the
gospel of Jesus Christ. We have gone
through the period in which under the
influence of the wonderful discoveries
of science. rationalistic unbelief has
swept over the land and turned many
away from Jesus Christ. But that
day was long passed and has been
followed by another. in which men
have been trying to find an acceptable
substitute for Jesus Christ.
They have been running here and
there after any form of religion. or of
worship that claimed to be new: new
thought. or new philosophy. or new
revelations, whether coming in the
name of some mystery of Persia or
India, or some device masking as re-
ligion or science from Boston. But
men already have found not only that
they cannot live without religion. but
that today no religion will satisfy a
man other than that which reveals
God.
We have come back to the religion
of the supernatural, of the miracles.
and of the resurrection; in short, TO
the religion of the crucified and risen
Christ. We must have a religion that
fits the facts of human existence
The Christian church also, however
much it may have erred in the past.
is aiming to produce the image of
Christ in men. 1t accepts the cha]-
lenge to be a promoter of human vel
fare, and in a very social way. but
that is not its ultimate aim; it's aim
always is to make better men, and it
never was true, what has been so
often charged against it. that it is so
busy saving souls that it has not time
TO save men. Rather by means Of
saving souls it has been sure that it
was saving men. and everywhere to-
day the world is awakening to see
that it is the gospel rather than com
merce or education, or the refinement
of cultured society, which is changing
the world

In one of Victor Hugos letters to
Baudelaire, he dwells on his passion
for perfect punctuation. AS an in
stance of this, Hugo mentions that he
made his printers furnish him with II
