GUS worship: but if in her despair and
misery she yet turns with a %penitent
heart to Jehovah. the prophet assures
her of his readiness to receive her.
I'm the fact of personal danger the
. prophet pursued his mission of a
Waterman, warning the nation of the
evil bound to come; and when op-
posed and prosecuted he became con
scious that Jehovah had set hin like
"a fortified city, and an iron pillar
and brazen walls against the whole
land"
THE men Of his native home con-
spired 70 kill him; and in consequence
of an address that jeremiah had made
in the temple court to the effect that
the temple would not save them from
destruction unless they lived righteous
lives. he again just escaped being exc
cuted. In all. his warnings were
treated with utter contempt, even by
the king.
$50 the condition hat existed in the
day of Jeremiah and The ,onditi N that
exists today are about parallel so far
as Christian sincerity is 10 be cen
sidered in the average. What cured
the poisoned condition of that Jay VIII
cure the poisoned condition Of to-day.
Just think Of it. the pardon of Jerusa-
lem from the wrath of Jehovah rested
on the finding of a just man who
sought the word of truth. Indifferent
would not describe this case; they were
Goddess. There was not this type in
all Jerusalem.
Jerusalem was full Of males II
years old. but being Of age did not
make them men after Jehovah's pat
tern. There were among them high
officers, and those who swore by the
temple. but mons them there was not
the man whose character rating. whose
Christian integrity. could save the day.
Strange to say. In all that massive
population there was not a man after
Gods own heart.
"The world today is looking for a
man. In the first place 1t seeks a
man that cannot be led by every WIND
that blows nor deceived by any eVll
example. II seeks q man who knows
God. d%enounces the devil, calls SIN by
its name and dares TO do right even in
the face of death. Then this is the day
Of the man with a heart. The old
love way win ever be the best way. No
one who has ever used love to gain the
end of right can say that they nave
failed. 1t is Gods way. Though 1t
sometimes leads through the valley.
sometimes through fire. sometimes
through darkness. sometimes through
encouragement; however, if it be the
love of God in the heart it leads up by
way of faith. by way Of prayer, by way
of tears. by way of song to the throne
Of God. 1t takes a man with a heart
to love like Christ.
Again we look for a man that is ca
pable of using his own mind to do Gods
will. In this day as in that day we are
losing the opportunity of our lives
when we sell out our will 10 others just
for a little popularity or a few paltry
dollars. More men and women are go
ing to hell over this route than any
other route known today. Good Christ |

worldly makeshifts, all because the man
whom God seeks is bending his will to
the pleasures of men and not to God.
Gods way of revealing the man
leads over most peculiar roads and into |
many peculiar conditions. For Booker
Washington it lead from n cabin on a
plantation in Virginia in the role of a
slave to a mine and from thence to
Hampton Institute, and from there toll
and labor in interest of the bows and
girls Of his race that they might have
q place in the field of education. II
