Lord. sitting upon a throne, high
and lifted up; and His train filled
the temple" In lofty language
Isaiah continues to tell what he be-
held, and his own abashed cry,
Woe is me! For am undone, be-
cause I am a man of unclean lips
for mine eyes have seen the
King, Jehovah of Hosts"
Then follows the tale of the
seraphs touching the prophets lips
with a live coal from off the altar,
to cleanse his lips, and then Isaiah's
call, to which he answered, Here
am 1; send me-"
An awareness of God does things
to a human spirit. Nothing that
material fortune can do to a man is
as important as that transaction
which takes place within the hidden
depths Of his own soul when he ar
rlVes at a realization of God. In
spacious terms. Jesus expressed this
profoundest of truths, This Is life
eternal, to know Thee, the only true
God. and Him whom Thou didst
send, even Jesus Christ" In that
supreme knowledge is born purpose
and power and peace. The birthday
OF 1saiahs greatness was when he
had a vision of the Eternal.
Two sure consequences flow from
an acquaintanceship with God. The
first Is sense of ones own sinful
ness and unworthiness, in the light
OF that pure presence. Isaiah was
overwhelmed by consciousness of
his own sinfulness. Yet the vision of
the holy Lord is the way to elimi-
nate sin. 1t has been said that ito
gaze steadily upon the face of God
is the one perfect way to noble
character"
Out of his vision and cleansing
came 1saiah's matchless mission.
Here am I; send me-" That per-
sonal response to divine call Is
the one way to fulfill life's largest
meaning. The way to get into pro-
phetic succession to Isaiah is to
learn how to say, Here am I; send
me-"
The Sunday school lesson for
September is, Isaiah: A Life
Dedicated to God. Isaiah vi.l-l3.
