His high hopes and prospects for the
cause of Jehovah were blasted. From
the mountain tops of victory he pitch
ed to the valleys of defeat. Because
things did not come out according to
his plans. he gave up all hope, fed to
the wilderness and asked to die. God
was not unmindful of him. however
and as he slept the first night out I'M

ed by an angel and bid to eat well OF
food as the journey ahead of him was
long and tiresome. Thus refreshed
he pressed out into the wilderness for
ty days and nights to Mount Horeb, a
great mountain called in the scripture
as the Mount Of God" Arriving there
Elijah had one of the most remarkable
Experiences ever vouchsafed mortal
man.
Elijah made his resting place a
cave on Mt. Horeb. Here there came
a voice to him asking, what dOest
thou here. Elijah?" The prophet made
answer that Gods cause was lost in
the kindom of Israel. His affairs We're
broken down. His prophets slain and
only he, Elijah remained, and his life
was oouSII AitCl. ''C was WI" w
stand forth on the mountain and then
there took place a scene which words
cannot describe. The bible record
tells of a wind which rent the rocks Of
the mountain. earthquake, fire, but
says God was not in these. Later there
came a still small voice" which re-
peated the question as to why he was
there, and he made the same answer
as TO the desperate condition of Gods
cause in Israel. Then came positive
instructions for his conduct. He was
told that there We're many in Israel
who were still faithful and that he
should return to his prophetic work,
amounting one HaZael to be king over
Syria, one John king over Israel and
one Elisha to be prophet after him.
Elijah began at once this new God Civ
Ell task. Elisha was found blowing
with oxen and recognizing the call Of
fered sacrifice and followed after the
prophet. John and Hazael We're an
nointed and after some time came to
the positions named by the voice in
the wilderness that day.
This bible record was made that You

us better people. The problem now
comes to find out what great truths
are to be gained. One might well be.
that an attempt to force the lsraelites
to be Cody by killing the prophets OF
Baal could only result in arOusing an
tasonism which would be asking the
life of Elijah. Propagation OF the re-
ligion of the bible by force has never
gained for it permanent place. Force
begets force, and true religion does
not advance during such struggles

right. The experience OF EliJah
should forewarn us of all these things
and give courage under seeming al
verse conditions. Although Elijah was
fleeing from his work discouraged.
God did not abandon him. There was
succor in the way of food and then
words of cheer and promise or great
things to come. This is another help-

Sept. 12-Elijah's Flight and Return

/ Sept. 12-Elijah's Flight and Return
]. Kings 10.
We have for our lesson today most
remarkable part of the history of the
great prophet Elijah. His career as
told in the two previous lessons
showed him man of most valiant
courage. He was ready to go before
the powerful king. Ahab, and hurl al
him the declaration that there should
be no rain until he said; he was
ready to again stand before that king
and denounce him as the one who was
troubling Israel by his desertion OF
the cause of the true God. Elijah had
the faith to suggest physical test
before all the people to show the su
premacy of the God he represented
over the false one, Baal With nc
signs of rain he declared that soon
there would be some, and continued
in prayer until after his servant had
reported six times there was yet no
prospect OF a cloud from which the
showers could fall. In the book of
James it is recorded that Elijah was
a man of like passions as the rest OF
men. yet rain ceased and came again,
by his prayers. He was indeed a
great prophet of God and his courage
cannot be impugned although it did
seem to fail in the lesson of today.
1t will be remembered that our last
lesson told of the great triumph OF
Elijah in showing to the people who
was the true God. They had cried out
"The Lord, He is God" Rain came
when Elijah prayed. Humanity speak.
ing the prophet had reason to think
that after this showing of truth. and
the killing of the false prophets OF
Baal, there would be a great turning
to the true God. In our day it might
be said "All is over but the shouting"
The hopes of the prophet were high
and he had little doubt that the God
Of such power as Jehovah would see
to it that idolatry was destroyed root
and branch He had much to learn.
however as to the, ways of God and
the persistency of evil. The wicked
queen Jezebel was furious when she
heard Of the death of the prophets of
Baal. and sent word to Elijah that by
the next day his life would be taken
as part recompense for what he had
done.
Confronted by the wrath of the
queen Jezebel, Elijah fed the country.
