period styled the Reformation. The
Revelation pictures the Church as

corresponds in the type to Elijah hid

prophets of Baal-in the world, but
not of H. AS Elijah was fed in the

was spiritually fed during the twelve
hundred and sixty years of famine
for spiritual food.-Amos Sill. -.
After emerging from the wilderness
condition, the Elijah class did a very
courageous work. Spiritual refresh
ment came abundantly. For q time
II looked as though Queen Jezebel
had been vanquished. as though the
Staying Of her prophets with the
Sword Of Truth had demonstrated
their errors and put Gods Truth and
its servant, the true Church. into a
commanding position. However, the
Elijah class again were compelled to
flee from Jezebel.
Why, Deprived Of Rain.
Many express surprise that in re-
sponse to earnest study Gods Word
is telling a beautiful Message of
Divine Wisdom Justice, Love and
Power-a Message very contrary to
the teachings of the past. How"
they say, "is II possible to have so
much more light on Gods Word today
than was found by equally jealous
Bible students of former genera
tions?"
The twelve hundred and sixty years
of spiritual drought are the explana-

etc. are of equal authority with the
Twelve Apostles The Bible is to the
contrary-that the Twelve Apostles
selected by Jesus (St Paul taking
the place of Judas) were TO be the
only foundations of the Christian
Church their teachings fully parallel
ing those Of the Lord Jesus-they be-
ing His special mouthpieces to the
Church Jesus prophesied the falling
away in which some would falsely
claim to be Apostles. See Revelation
+ 2:2. Compare 2 Peter 2:1; Acts
/ 20:30.
/ This gradual exaltation of the
bishops was given great force by the
Emperor Constantine's action in call

1926 A. d. The Council under the
Emperor's guidance, produced the

Our lesson is interesting as simply
recoided in the Bible; but the inter
est OF Bible students increases from
the time they learn that the Prophet
Elijah was a type of the Church. The
Revelation pictures Queen Jezehel as
representing a great religious system
Of this Gospel Age. which did vio-

2:2O-25; 1910 King Ahab repre-

Queen Jezebel typihed a false Church

her purity as the virgin Church of

on by the bishops. The Endorsement
of these oreeds implied that the
bishops who made them had the right,
the authority the Divine revelation
for the work. The people gradually
indorsing the creeds really indorsed
at the same time tthe doctrine of
Apostolic Succession, subsequently
made a feature of the creeds.
For over twelve centuries after the
PRONUNCIATION of the Nicene creed
there was practically no more Bible
study; for the Apostolic Bishops had
formulated the creeds as proper state
ments of the faith. To study the
Bible would have meant to study how
to fight against the Emperor and the
teachings of the bishops.
Revival of Bible Study.
Twelve centuries after the first ex-
preston by the so-called Apostolic
Bishops bring us to 1926, when print
ing had become common. In that
year Professor Tyndale published his
translation of the New Testament in
Germany, because of the opposition
of the English clergy, and imported
IL into London, where the people be-
gan to purchase it, Meantime the
Germans we're learning something of
the New Testament teachings from
Luther and his associates.
! But the English bishops bought up
! the entire edition of Tyndale's New
Testament, and burned the books in
front of st. Paul's Cathedral London.
/ They knew that the Ecumenical
/ Councils had declared to be true
Christian faith many things not
! taught in the Bible, and had omitted
many things taught therein. They
! feared that the people, becoming
Bible students, would know Of these
things, and that thus would be upset
I the general belief, based upon the
creeds-not upon the Bible. Tyndale
and others suffered martyrdom.
Several other translations were
subsequently brought out. Finally
the bishops concluded 10 give the
people the Bible, but warned them
against any construction different
from the teachings of the creeds-
threatening them with eternal torture
Later, the Roman Catholics produced
the Douay Bible-still in vogue. This
also was given to the people with the
suggestion that any one interpreting
it differently from the creeds would
pass straight to eternal torment. The
conflict proceeded until 1899. wher
the Bible came into great prominence
nearly all our great Bible Societies
having been organized within ffteer
i years Of that date. The foretold perioc
of spiritual drought having ended, a
great spiritual shower came to tn,
world Nevertheless. as our next les
son will show, Ahab and Jezebel wer,
unchanged. Again Elijah fed to tn,
, wilderness.

MOVED TO WEBSTER

Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. M. Bartlett,
who have been, living in Beling-
ton for about fifteen years have
moved to Webster where they
expect to make their future
home. They left here Monday
their goods were loaded Satur-
day. While here they have made
many friends who are sorry to
see them go, but as the distance
is not far away, they will be in
touch with those friends from
time to time it is hoped. Miss
Ola, their daughter, is teaching
at Webster and it was more con-
venient for them to move espe-
cially a this time. These good
people will be missed, but Bel
ington's loss is Webster's gain.
Success to them in their new To-
cation.
