They still express for the world,

But these prophetic voices to

even deeper than world concern.
They bring us into the realm OF the

into the very heart Of human eX-

BY WILLIAM E GILROY, D. d.

Editor of The Congregaticnaiist
IT VERY student of history is
L. aware of great eras in which
some vital interest in the souls of
men came to powerful and unusual
expression. One speaks, for in
stance, Of the Renaissance, Of the
Augustan age, of the age of Peri
Giles, and in various other ways
unusual in epocfs in human life and
expression are marked off with dis
tinctiOn.
Among the greatest of such epOchS
was the prophetic era in the life of
Israel, and that era attained its
height in the period that we have
been studying in the course Of these
lessons. 1t was a period in which
the interest and message Of the
prophet conceded with world events
and particularly with these events
as they affected the life of the lit
tie community in Palestine of which
the prophets were a part,
Only a Small Group
1t is constantly necessary to re-
mind ourselves that Israel and
Judah occupied a relatively small
part Of the earthS surface, and a
comparatively small space in the
history Of the world so far as sec
ular history is concerned. These
people of Palestine were numerical
ly a small group, in a small cOun-
try, which was a sort of buffer state
between great empires. On the
north and on the south. on the east
and on the west, these empires con-
tended through successive ages for
world rivalry and power. The mes
sageS of the prophets took on a
larger and more important world
aspect because these messages were
given under circumstances in which
all these rivalrieS and empires were
centered.
Hence it is that the prophets deal
not only with episodes in the life of
a small people, but that their
! prophecies strike at the very root of
human ambition and tragedy.
If the imperial leaders and rivals
or that ancient day thought at all
about these prophets, or even knew
OF their message, they must have
held them in contempt One can
imagine the scornful attitude of the
ambitious ruler or military leader
confident in the power Of his vast
armies, as he contemplated a dream
er or preacher whose chief belief
was the still, small voice Of proph-
ecy. Yet, as one views that ancient
world now, it is to behold the wreck
of great and mighty empires. The
1 age that knew these empires is re-
membered chiefly today because OF
the living voices Of these prophets
Of Israel and Judah, despised ii
their own time.
Here is a vast and glorious ideal
