TOMORROW'S SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Amos Pleads
for Justice
BY REV. EDWARD TABER

Amos, prophet Of Israel, was
one of the earliest characters of
history to properly emphasize
the righteousness of God.
Many had spoken of the need
of proper ritual. Many had en-
phasized the care of Jehovah for
His chosen people, Many had
told of the duty of observing the
solemn feast and fast days.
But Amos taught that ritual
without righteousness was of no
avail. The form and ceremony
of the law constituted but the
letter of religion. The spirit of
faith and true religion was to
be found in a life that exempli-
fled the best traditions of the
race.
1t was all very well, said
Amos, to regard Jehovah as the
guardian of the destinies of the
Jewish race. He had been with
Abraham and Isaac and Jacob
and would not desert His people.
True enough, the Jews were the
chosen of God. But if they dis.
regard all His commandments
they will not escape punishment.
In a writing that must have
astonished the self-satisfied Jews
of the time, Amos declared that
"For three transgressions of
Judah and for four" Jehovah
would not turn away the punish
ment. Israel and Judah would
be visited with the same pun
ishment for national corruption
as the other nations of the Tina.
Jehovah was the God of all ma
tions, and all would suffer the
inevitable penalty for national
sins and evils.
The solemn religious holidays
became but a mockery, Amos
taught, when they were used as

excuses for dissipation and vice.
Let the people not think that by
simply observing certain his
toric religious occasions, they
could escape the impending na-
tional doom.
Amos was farsighted enough
to see that the glory of the reign
Of the second Jeroboam was but
a passing phase. The nation
was not economically sound
enough to continue the gaudy
splendor of the court and upper
classes. The rich were growing
richer and the poor poorer. The
middle class, the backbone of
any nation, had all but disap-
peared.
Amos was a master of denun-
citation. He was probably an
orator of great power. In his
writings vivid and graphic de-
scriptions of the conditions Of
the wealthy and the miserable
poor are given. Amos tells us
that the corrupt leaders of the
day would "sell the righteous for
silver and the poor for pair Of
shoes"
With great power and daring
imagination he pictures God as
saying to the guilty nation: II
hate, l despise your feast days,
and l will not smell in your
solemn assemblies"
The courts of the day we're
corrupt. The wealthy chanted to
the sound of the VOL while the
poor were starving.
The plea of Amos was for a
return to the Lord. Israel must
repent, said the great prophet,
or she will hurry to her doom,
despite the splendor and display
of the age. The decay and SUD-
sequent captivity of the nation
indicated his words,
