The Ministry
of Isaiah
BY the Rev. Edward Taber

Isaiah was the greatest of the
line of Jewish prophets. Himself
~ noble blood, Isaiah lived up
to the very traditions of his
high calling.
For, as a class, the prophets
were more sincere, more capa-
bic, than any of the other
great men the Jewish nation
produced. Such names as Amos,
Hosea and jeremiah, as well Is
the incompatible IsaIah, loom
large in the history of religion.
The record of the call of the
prophet is given in the sixth
chapter of the book of Isaiah.
ia the year that King Uzzjah
died. the vision of the Lord
came to the prophet.
The glory of the scene so i'm
pressed Isaiah that he cried:
"Woe is me, for am undone,
for | am a man Of unclean lips.
and | dwell in the midst of a
people of unclean lips; for NINE
eyes have seen the King, the
Lord of Hosts"
The vision continuing, sera-
phlm, with a live coal, cleansed
the lips of the prophet, who then
volunteered for what was to be
his life work.
Isaiah was a man of tremen-
dous influence. He was a states
man as we'll as religious
