TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY
STORIES.

And every story a good one They
are entertaining, but that is not all
you can say about them. You know
there is hardly a periodical published
that is not full of time-wasting stor-
les, but not a single story in The
Youths Companion is a time waster.
Take the stories of C. A. Stephens. 1t
would be hard to pick out one from
which you cannot learn something
useful and yet entertaining.
Some of The Companion stories re-
fresh your knowledge of geography;
some tell you the mysteries of chem
istry, some reveal the secrets of for
estry and of general farming. They
cover a wide range. They are chosen
with an eye to the possible likings of
every member of a Companion family
stories of vigorous action and stir
ring adventure for boys, stories of
college life and domestic vicissitudes
for girls, stories that range all the
way from sheer drollery to deep ser
iousness for men and ONE There
are no stories quite like those in The
Companion.
If you are not familiar with The
Companion as it is to-day, let US send
you sample copies and the Forecast
for 1916.
New subscribers who send $500 for
1916 will receive a free copy of The

be against them. E" mos
Then we may be
sure that there was great indignation.
This denunciation Of Israel occurs
chiefly in chapters 3-6 and chapter
1911. When the Prophet openly fore
told the fall of the reigning dynasty.
Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, inter
fered, bidding Amos to return to his
own country. But under the special
power of the Holy Spirit, using him
to deliver a particular message, the
Prophet refused to return home until
he had accomplished his errand. He
also added to the retribution of Israel
some prophecies respecting the priests
own household.
mot All That Say, Lord, Lord"
Today's lesson is a part of the
Prophets pleading with the ~Israelites
to return to harmony with God and
thus to avert the impending calamities.
History shows that the time was a
very prosperous period, not only for
Judah, but also for Israel. The pros
perity was of an earthly kind. Riches
were accumulated. But these were in
the hands of the great.
The Prophet then warns the rich that
the poor were being unjustly dealt
with. He intimates that from this
source trouble would ultimately come,
and that the only terms upon which
they could hope to live as a nation
would be by seeking the Lord. 1t
would be vain for them to seek help
at Bethel, Gilgal or Beersheba, the cen
tiers of their religious institutions,
which were corrupt; for these would
all go down in the predicted trouble.
God Himself must be sought with an
honest heart; also He would cause de-
struction to break out like a fire and
destroy the House of Joseph. The ten
tribe kingdom is here called the House
of Joseph, because of the preponderat-
ing influence of the tribes of Ephraim
and Manasseh, which had sprung from
Joseph. Hence a fire breaking out In
the House Of Joseph means the de-
struction which would come upon the
ten-tribe kingdom unless they repented
of their evil course.
The Prophet then particulariZes some
of the wrongs of his day. Justice was
not rendered in their courts. The poor
who appealed to the courts got worm
wood-bitterness, disappointment. He
declares that righteousness vas cast
down to the earth; that equity was
not a matter of primary consideration;
that bribery was rife; that wealth,
power and influence could accomplish
almost anything. There must be a
turning from this condition; and relief
could come only from turning to the
Lord.
God Careth For the Poor and Needy.
In Verse 8 the Prophet intimates that
Gods power would be with the poor
and oppressed for their d~eliverance;
and that this would mean destruction
against the strong and powerful,
against those who hate reproof and OPP
pose the upright.
Verses II and II particularize b ma
ture of the injustice which should be
discontinued. Verse 10 implies that
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1915-11-27


ed no good results. But the Prophet
was especially commissioned of the
Lord to give this very reproof, and
must therefore speak his message
boldly.
The lesson closes with an exhortation
that the Prophets hearers make a thor
ough reformation-that they seek good
and not evil, love righteousness and
hate sin. Then indeed they might ap-
ply to themselves Gods promises, as
they were already disposed to do. Such
claims would be appropriate enough If
they conformed to the Divine require
ments. but not otherwise. If they as
a people would come into line with
Gods requirements, He would be gra-
cious to them. Otherwise they must
expect chastisements.

only a few week ends during the season the
cheaper rod answers all requirements. In ex-
aiming a rod for purchase be sure the ferrues

stronger and cleaner than nickel. The hand
grasp should be Of solid cork and as the rod IS
