TOMORROW'S SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
lsaiaIl-GreatgSG
of Prophets
BY REV. EDWARD TABER

Isaiah was the greatest of
the prophets.
His influence was thrown on
the side of those things which
he believed to be for the best
interests of his people. An
aristocrat by birth and train
ing, a man of wealth, influence
and culture, he possessed in
rare measure a perception of
the meaning of true religion.
Essentially spiritually-minded,
Isaiah was yet practical enough
to be a leader in craftsmanship
as well as religion.
The great denunciation, writ
ten by Isaiah in the first chap
ter of the book that bears his
name, is probably the greatest
example of denunciatory litera-
ture extant.
Probably more merciless in
his language than the bitter
est diatribes of Demosthencs
against Philip of Macedon, the
great prophet denounced the
corruption and iniquity of his
day.
His message came to the
guilty nation with words that
must have burned into the
hearts and minds Of the peo-
pie. judah and Israel had for
gotten their Lord. Their reli-
gion was a mere chanting of
vain and empty words. God
had lost all patience with His
people.
Jewish tradition had long re-
garded the cities of Sodom and
Gomorrah as symbolic of iniq-
uity and depravity. With re-
lentless language Isaiah quotes
the word of the Lord to the
people as addressed to Sodom-
to people that could be regarded
as no better than those that
lived in the old cities that were
destroyed by fire.
1t is easy to say that Isaiah
INDUCES in exaggeration in his
description of the sins of the
people. And yet the prophet
The Washington times., 1927-11-26

has never moved with the eau
ton of the scientist. The mes
sage that comes from an inner
conviction is quite apt to be
couched in dogmatic and as
sertive language.
Hear the voice of the Lord"
cries the prophet. He does not
attempt to prove his case by
mathematical formula. He does
not appeal primarily to the in
tellect. He speaks to the con-
science. and spiritual nature of
man.
1t is doubtful If the greatest
truths are capable of scientific
demonstration. The existence
of God, the doctrine of inn
mortality, the ultimate justice
of the universal scheme-none of
these things can be scientifically
proved. And yet men have be-
lieved in them with persistence
throughout history.
Isaiah taught that God was
not to be appeascd with "vain
oblations." The empty rituals
of their new moons and Sab.
baths" meant nothing to him.
They must make themselves
clean, they must cease to do
evil, learn to do we'll.
The book of Isaiah has been
the subject of extended critical
dispute by Biblical scholars.
The majority of critics assert
that the latter part of the book
was written by the "Second
Isaiah" This writer, whose
identity is not known, is The
supposed author of about the
last third of the book. How
ever, that may be, there can
be no reasonable doubt of the
fast that Isaiah lived and
taught, that he was the greatest
of all the prophets in influence,
and that he was a master of
literary expression.
Isaiah. had he written moth.
ing more than the immortal
first chapter of his book, would
deserve to rank with the mas
! tiers of literature.
