Amend your ways and your dOings,
and obey the voice of Jehovah your
GOd.-Jer. 26:1.
THE GOD-SENT BOY.
''The greatest of the prophets" in the
words of DR.. Rogers, was born in a
little villagean hours walk from Jeru-
salem-Anathoth- home of Abb
athar and others of the house of Levi.
Perhaps his ancestry ran back to good
old Eli, but certainly he was of fine
stock and listened to religious think
ers thru all his boyish days. They
were degenerate days with Judah
nearing the close of her history. Hez-
ekiah had left his people subject to
Assyria and Manassah Nilsson foundit
the best Of policies to shape his course
in fawning subserviency to the great
empire that had it's officials even in
the palace. All things Assyrian were
to be copied, so star worship and idol
atrous practices Of every sort were in
PRODUCED, even into the temple where
were stabbed the horses of the sun
chariot. Isaiah probably gave his life
in the executions that sent the pro-
phetic party to cover, but they used
their silence and their obscurity to
write much of the old storied history
of Israels past. Anon was as bad as
his father, but was soon murdered,
and the boy Josiah took up the rule
at the age of 8. Priest and prophet
gained control and changes growing
out of the finding of the Book of the
Law, our Deuteronomy pretty GER
tainly, started the greatest reform in
Judah's life. 1t was sworn to by king
and people and made law Of the land
and happy years followed until in the
struggle between Ninevah and Baby
Ion, Egypt took the field and the
young king, loyal to his over-lord and
trusting in the aiding Jehovah, flung
his pitifully little force across the
path of the hordes marching toward
the Euphrates. His death left the
states in the hands of Egypt and left
the reform discredited. Chaldea
emerged the great power of the times,
Egypt was defeated and Judah be-
came a tiny subject spot in a far
flung empire under the rule of the
most Indifferent Judean royalty.
About $50 8. c., jeremiah was
born and caught the devotion Of Hill

the little town where each person
knew all the others as is the fashion
of such places. 1t was a watch tower
from which could be seen the pagean-
try of the world, and the boy learned
to know life, to know history and to
know God. Then came the call to
carry that Gods message into the
desperate and hopeless situation into
which the nation was -trifting. APP
palled at the prospect he was reas-
sured by the touch of an unseen hand
upon his lips, a caress that was never
forgotten, and that is the only con-
tact that is sufficient for the men of
today. The almond branch with its
blossoms against the drear landscape
of passing winter and the word of
ing eyes on the most desperate, most
lonely venture Of the Book with the
exception of Him who walked Geth-
SEINE and climbed Calvary.
THE CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR
Judah raised the standard of revolt
and jeremiah protested against the
crazy notion of the impossibility of
Jerusalem being taken. His life was
threatened, his roll of sermons burn
ed, but the city was taken and the
king carried to Babylon with all the
prominent people, princes and crafts
men whose company was the youth
Ezekiel destined to be heard from in
our next lesson. A strange situation
followed for men had sold their bust
ness for a song or had disposed of
vineyards and olive gardens for any
offer-they must march tomorrow
and must take what could be gotten
These left-overs-"bad figs" in the
biting phrase of eremiah-found
themselves suddenly rich and in office
forwhich they hadha preparation.
God had punished the wicked rulers
and exalted them and an almost in
sane confidence in their goodness and
in Jehovah's intention to interpOse in
their behalf possessed the entire city.
Zedekiah was a wish-washy ruler,
swayed by the last counsellor and he
declared war against Babylon. Jere-
miah opposed it and stood alene in
the city was besieged, and one can re-
call the feelings against the pro-Ger-
man and the conscientious objector in
1917 clearly enough to know his posi-
ton in that fanatical crowd then
running Jerusalem That he was I'M
stond, with his head still on his Shout

and Of commanding character that
beggars words to describe, but thrills

to speak against the temple, saying,

jeremiah saved the nations soul.
Religion was the passion of the jew
the temple was the pride and Jerusa-
lem the city of Jehovah. But he had
divorced that religion from righte-
BUSINESS and if the ritual was kept he
could rob his way into riches with a

become mere fetishs, contact with
which spelled safety. What was to

rifices, Il commanded not sacrifices,
but obey my voice in the day | brot
you out of Egypt" (Chap. 7:1-28).
That aligned the priests of pseudo
prophets against him as well as rous-
ing the fanaticism of the crowd.
THE TRIAL.
Recall the scenes when Paul was
rescued in this same area from the
mob melted by the priestly leaders.
and one can find correspondence to
this earlier tumult. The city author
tiles took the case out of the hands
Of the mad crowd, recognizing the
peril that accompanies Unbiased pas
sion, peril that demands attention
in our own land. Hailed into court
with the judges sitting upon the stone
benches under the shelter of the gate
way with the clamoring push of tur-
baned men, excited and gesticulating
priests, snug prophets of professional
religion. with the many-hued gar
ments coiOring the whole scene. one
lone figure in calm confidence lifts an
uncovered face shining as Stephens
and as set as Pauls and declares, "Je-
hovah sent me" And Gods man al
ways dominates the canvass. He
speaks to the ages and time grows
silent in his presence. Character is
always king. He swayed the court
and stirred the crowd that day so that
the judges gave swift verdict which
the presidents of Micah and Uriiah
showed was in their power to do. And
once more a prophet felt himself I'M
der the shadow of the Almighty and
turned to his task with his old Wig
or. Presently the walls of the city
were breeched and the king and his
counsellors in flight, and out IF count
less perils Jeremiah begged the priv
ilege of facing still more desperate
ones among the very people who re-
fused to follow his advice and who
later dragged him to Egypt and pre-
sumably killed him there. o Prophet!
Great is thy love, surpassed only by
Another who later died at the hands
Of those for. whom He had given His
life.
