TOMORROW'S SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
The Call of the
Prophet
BY REV. EDWARD TABER

The Old Testament prophets
were men of fire and power.
Often they were cruel; often
they were over stern in their
dealings with the opponents of
the worship of Jehova. Many Of
them placed too great an en-
phasis on the certain punishment
of evil and not emphasis enough
on the kindness and forgiveness
of God.
Allowing for all this, the
prophet yet remains one Of the
most remarkable types of men in
history. He was fearless. He
often defied those in high author
ity. He spurned material re-
ward. He worked with great
zeal and energy. He was the
conscience of the age. He was
the stern apostle of righteous
ness.
OF the early leaders Of Israel,
the prophet, rather than the king
or priest, wa typical of the ma
ton at its best. There were, of
course, worthy kings, such as
David. But ON the whole the
men who occupied the thrones of
Israel and Judah were not adj
mirable in character. Often the
rule was tyrannical. Often the
crown was seized through blood
shed. The kings of the nation
were not frequently genuine
statesmen. Warfare, and the
idleness and dissipation of court
life, occupied their attention
rather than constructive states
manship.
The priests were the vested
religious leaders of the nation.
They had very real privileges
and endowments. The people as
a whole held them in consider
able awe. They established an
elaborate ritual that was sup
posed to be essential to the true
worship of Jehova.

But the priests were often
guilty of adhering to the letter
of the law and forgetting the
spirit. They placed too much
emphasis on ceremonialism. They
were Journalists.
The prophet often protested
against both priest and king.
Repeatedly his voice was raised
against the tendency to forget
the need for right conduct and
penitence for sin. He was the
foe, generally speaking, of an
elaborate ritual. When others
refused to rebuke royal blunders
and sins, the prophet did so.
Three of the greatest of these
prophets were Elisha, Amos and
Isaiah. Elisha was the successor
of Elijah, and was like him in
many respects. Not quite as
stern as his great master, he yet
was an ardent champion of the
worship of Jehova.
Amos can, without exaggera-
ton, be called one of the great
characters of history. His writ
ings as they have come down to
us are one of the oldest of all
the books Of the Bible. There is
little or no doubt but that the
book of Amos in its present form
is substantially as it was written
by the herdsman that was called
to prophesy.
Isaiah, in many respects the
greatest of the prophets, was a
man of high social station. He
was a statesman as we'll as a
prophet.
The Old Testament prophets
were recruited from many walks
of life. But one thing was COM
mon to them all: they heard the
voice of Jehova. They spoke
with the voice of authority. When
they spoke, it was not they
alone, but-"Thus saith the
Lord"
