THE PROPHET AS A
STATESMAN is THEME

The last lecture of the series of
four by the Hazlett lecturer, Dr. F.
c. Eiselen, was delivered last Tues
day evening, April q, in the Normal
School auditorium. His subject was
THE Prophet as Statesman
There were two considerations
which let the prophets into active pol
itics of their day: first, conviction
that God was interested; second, that
people needed guidance in affairs po-
litical.
These men had the qualifications
necessary for expert politicians-real
experts in the principles of govern
ment First, they were tactful,
shrewd, and showed vast skill. To
prove this statement the speaker gave
numerous illustrations of political
sagacity from the lives of these men.
Secondly, these prophets We're all men
of phenomenal moral strength. They
had strength of character, they were
possessed of deep convictions, and
they were dominated by unselfsh mo-
tives. Again, the prophets were men
who had ideals Of an extraordinary
type. a consciousness of the presence
of God.
Some of their activities in regard
to politics were illustrated by their in
terest in the internal and the exter-
nal problems Of government. In ev-
cry important step in the history of
the political life of Israel the prophets
took the lead. In closing, the lectur-
er specifically named the work of in
dividual prophets. Throughout the
whole lecture lessons were drawn from
their lives and application made to
present-day political problems and
standards

PROPHETS HELD AS
SOCIAL REFORMERS

For several years we have been for
tunate in having each year some goot
lecturer come to the State Norma
school. This is made possible by the
gift of Mr.. and Mrs. 7. l.. HaZlett
former residents Of Valley City, ir
what is called the Hazlett lecture ser
les.
Dean f. G.. Eiselen of Garrett Bibli,
cal Institute, Evanston, Illinois, was
the speaker Tuesday morning. His
theme WAS, The Prophet as a Social
Erformer.' Prophets are not dream
ers. To many people the history of
the Hebrew race was apparently only
an inglorious exile Though their
country was not as large as North
Dakota and though they endured
hardships innumerable they were the
religious and political teachers Of the
human race. The reason is found in
the fact that generation after genera
ton they were a laboring people or
prophets. They taught chiefly about
religion, for in their lives all other
things were subordinated to- this
phase of life. Because of this they
had a keen interest in the social at
fairs Of their nation. To be sure the
other nations Of antiquity made their
contribution to the social welfare but
for the real germ we must look to the
Hebrews.
Mr.. Eiselen gave several illustra-
lions from the Bible, to make the
thoughts he expressed more evident.
He then explained how the methods of
fraud mentioned in the Bible did not
differ widely from the methods of the
profteers of modern times. The poor,
then, as now, were not considered to
a great extent. Legislative bodies in
making the laws may bear in mind
their own selfish gains rather than
the common good.
Next were given the five fundanen-
tai principles underlying social ac-
tivities. First, The fatherhood of
God The thought made dominant
was the protection of God as loving
father. Second, The brotherhood of
men The term then was used in
narrower sense than we now speak of
it, though we do only speak of it. It
then included only the people of
Israel. A man might do any form of
evil to one not being an 1sraelite.
Third. The Father is righteous faith
err AS Jehovah was kind and good
to them so must they be to their fell
lowmen. Fourth, The Transformation
Of man. There must not be only the
external and visible transformation
but also that of the inner soul as we'll,
if the act was to have any permanent
effect. Fifth, permanent existing in
situations in which every individual
must work slowly and without ceasing
for the common good.
Our Christian country must learn
from men of old the name Of God and
the social reforms based on the prin-
ciples Of eternity. L. c.
