they suffer SO much that their

Promised to Youth.

Joels prophecy promised this great
gift of prophesying to youth: Your
sons and daughters shall prophesy-
your young men shall see visions"
This idea may have been suggested by
the need of Israel in Joefs day. Prob
ably the older men, on whom rested
the responsibilities of guiding the ma
ton, We're discouraged by the scourges
of locusts and warns and the optimism
of youth was needed to tide the people
over to the coming era of prosperity.
And Joel may have had deeper rea
son for promising the gift of prophecy
to youth-he may have had keen in
sight into the psychology of human af-
fairs, and realized that the hope of the
progress of nations and of the world
lies in the youth-the rising genera
tions-the young men and young wom-
en- of vision. Perhaps Joel remem-
bered that the IsrAelites wandered
about in the wilderness until the gen.

in Egypt had all passed away, and 1t

life in the wilderness. that went in and
possessed the promised land. Certain
il seems that when Joel promised the
gift of prophecy to youth he had in
mind not merely the power to predict
the future, but the ability clearly to
see and understand present conditions
and to act vigorously for their inn

EPWORTH LEAGUE DISCUSSION.
A PROPHETS GREAT PROMISE TO YOUTH.
By ROBERT D. BURBANK,

though this prospect of the immediate
future seemed to suggest greater
things, he caught a glimpse down the
vista of the ages and foresaw the out
pouring of Gods spirit upon all flesh,
the awakening of all people, great and
low1y, young and old, to the conscious
ness of His presence and the opening
of their spiritual eyes.
On the day of Pentecost, when the
multitude was amazed that the unedu-
Gated Galileans had spoken in the
native tongues of all the people in the
crowd, Peter arose and cried out: This
is that which was spoken by the
Prophet Joel" and quoted the prophecy
found in our reference.
Prophesying is commonly supposed to
mean telling beforehand what is
going to happen in the future. 1t does
mean that; and in Hebrew prophecy
prediction was an important feature:
but the word has also a richer and
more spiritual meaning than that. A
prophet was a seer-that is, he was
man who had the power not only to
see into the future but into the secret
of conditions as they actually existed
at the time, and he possessed the di-
vine spark of courage to
Stand up, speak out, and boldly
In Gods name"
