The Ear-Ticklers.
jeremiah had blistering words for
the popular" preachers of his day,
who proclaimed only what the peo-
pie wanted to hear. They were the
-ticklers of his day, as of ours;
who listened for the peoples ap-
plause rather than for Gods ap-
proval. Ministers of this type, who
usually gravitate to the cities, are
more interested in press notices
than in conversion rolls. These are
the men who speak of their hearers
as audiences rather than as con
gregations" They would rather
please people than change them.
Jeremiah's time was cursed with
this type of "stand-patter" prophets,
who, in the face of impending ma
tional disaster from without, and
gangrenous moral corruption within,
cried, Peace! Peace!" when there
was no peace. With their dreams
and unwarranted optimism, they
tulled the people into false sense
of security. They left the idolatrous,
corrupt and imperiled nation with a
spirit of complacency which disre-
garded the clear counsel of God.
Such preachers were the vogue in
Jeremiah's day. Then, as now, many
prophets followed fashions. We are
witnessing a wave of the same sort
in our own time: ministers as mass
swept up into cults of pacifism,
social gospel preaching; sentimen-
tai radicalism and Bible-denying
modernism. The strange phenome-
non of today's pulpit is that many
shepherds have become sheep-fol-
lowers of an arid intellectualism
rather than God-led leaders of a
flock. Their "ear is to the ground. u
rather than turned toward heaven.
Some of these false prophets are
heard on the radio, preaching intol-
erance, class and race hatred, and
even open sedition. Their power
points the need for the rise of true
prophet, after the order of jeremiah,
and Of the other great Hebrew seers,
who will command a national hear
ing for the clear commands of God
The radio is Gods new trumpet,
whereby the whole world may hear
at once the message of Gods man
for the hour, when he appears. No
longer need he be a voice crying in
the wilderness: or lonely perse-
cuted, imprisoned prophet like Jere-
miah. He may set the ether vibrat-
ing with the explicit counsels of
eternity. That ideal seems distant in
a day when the most popular figure
on the radio is a wooden cummyI
