TOMORROW'S SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Isaiah lD@n@ulInGgS
Corruption
BY REV. EDWARD TARER
BY REV. EDWARD TABER

duced few greater figures than
Isaiah. Prophets of the genius
of Amos and Hosea are not to
be found often in any nations
history. But these men were,
of course, most exceptional.
While the prophets sounded their
lofty note of spirituality and
religion the great masses of the
people were stepped in ignor-
ance, superstition and want.
The great prophets rebelleJ at
the gross injustices of their day.
They saw the few wealthy, the
many in direst poverty. They
saw the vast majority Of people
being preyed upon by unscrup-
ulous leaders who emphasized
only the ritual of religion to the
exclusion of spirituality.
Isaiah, in one of his most
effective passages, illustrated
the care of God in what has been
called the parable of the vine
yard. The vineyard is used to
represent the Jewish nation.
God speaks to the people and
asks what more He could Go for
them that He has not already
done.
Isaiah emphasizes in powerful
and striking language the indif-
ference of the people to the care
of Jehovah. They disregard His
laws and are unmindful of His
goodness. They "rise up early
in the morning that they may
consume strong drink-they con-
tinue until night, that wine may
inflame them"
Isaiah condemned the attire
of the women of his day, thus
giving added proof that there is
no new thing under the sun.
The world has advanced far
from the days of Isaiah, but it
still needs his ringing command
to "wash you, make you clean;
cease to do evil, learn to do
WE'LL"
