He wa- a stern, un­ compromising, fiery messenger of God, and he dared to face one of Israel’s most powerful ‘kings, Ahab, with fearless words of warning and condemnation for his flagrant sins. Well would it -be foi* nations today if such prophets were willing to -de­ clare the whole coun'sel of God to rulers proving unfaithful to their trust. Another courageous- prophet was Micaiah. When all the other pro­ phets in Israel were flattering King Ahab, and assuring him falsely that •he would -have success in a -certain military campaign, Micaiah had the courage an'd devotio-n to God to tell Ahab the truth, and to warn him not to attempt the battle he was contemplating. Micaiah’s words did not prevail; Israel was -defeated and the king lost his life. -So teacher and class can study to­ gether the other -outstanding charac­ ters in these historical lessons, and find the eternally unchanging prin­ ciples of right and wrong, righteous­ ness and sin, obedience to God and- rebellion against God, with the con­ sequences of success1 or failure that inevitably follows. But God is not merely an imper­ sonal Judge. He is a God of love an'd mercy as well as of righteous­ ness and justice. (The Prophet Ho­ sea told the nation -of God’s inex­ haustible love, and of His1 sure pur­ pose to 'bring Israel back to Himself in spite of her persistent failures. And Isaiah, the greatest of the writing prophets,’sets forth the two sides of God’s character with inspir­ ed clearness and convincing power God must judge sin. But God has provided a way of saving the sinner. The sumstitutionary and- redemptive work of the Son of God, Israel’s ■Messiah and Saviour of the world, is declared by Isaiah with the spirit­ ual depth and beauty of the Apostle John in the Fourth Gospel. Not only ’to Israel, but to all nations, and to al,l men, come Isaiah’s divinely in­ spired words concerning the Messiah and Saviour, who was to enter into human flesh seven centuries after Isaiah lived: “He was1 wounded for our tronsgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.

At Lucan Mondays and Thursdays Sunday School Lesson REVIEW: GOD IN HEBREW HIS­ TORY. Sunday, Sept. 30 Golden Text: Thy Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom. (Psalm 14l5:'13) As we take up the review of three months' lessons, and study God in Hebrew history, let us be careful to remember that Hebrew history is different from any and all other na­ tional history since the world began. There are, of course, fundamental principles of national and moral and religious- life that apply to all nations alike. We can find in the history of the Hebrew nation lessons of vital importance to every nation today. On the other hand, we find as clearly set forth in the Scriptures that' God has predetermined- pur­ poses for the Hebrew nation. He raised up Israel for a distinct and unique place in the history of man­ kind. He tells in the Old Testament and the New what that unique Miss-_ ion of Israel is. He tells of Israel’s lamentable and tragic failure to hold faithful to His- purpose. He tells us of the suffering and misery that have come to Israel in. conse­ quence. And he tells us that His purpose for Israel is, nevertheless, undefeatable, and shall yet be glori­ ously consumihated. All this should be kept in mind- if we woud study their review lesson intelligently. God is in Hebrew his­ tory as in no other history. To the founder of n-o other nation has God ever spoken the words’that He spoke to Abraham: “I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee, and in thee shall all families of the earth be Messed” (Gen. 12:1). The descen­ dants- of Abraham, 'commonly call­ ed Jews today, are still .God’s people in a unique way. God -has never re­ voked His covenant with Abraham, nor will He ever do so—the Bible is inescapably plain on this. Antisemi­ tism, therefore, is dangerous busi­ ness—more dangerous to those who d-o the persecuting than to those who are persecuting, a Jew-hating nations have learned to their sorrow It is obviously a unique and great honor for Israel to have been chosen as the nation to whom and through whom the Son of God was to come as Israel’s Messiah and the Sa-viour of the world. “All the families of the earth” are yet going to be bless­ ed because of Jesus Christ, who af­ ter the flesh was- a Hebrew, the Greater Son of Abraham and ’of Da­ vid. Kings, prophets, and (people are the characters who come before us in our three months’ lesson. We have been studying the lives and national policies of kings who set themselves against God, and kings who reverently worshipped God a-nd did His will. Invariably disaster followed the turning away from God, and invariably blessing follow­ ed‘obedience to God’s known will. God could not be a righteous God- and have it any other way. He is not an absentee God; One is deeply concerned in the fortunes of those whom -He has created and whom He longs to 'bless. After Israel a nation had come to her highest point of prosperity and splendor, under David and Solomon one of the many downhill grades be­ gan. Solomon himself started- it, iby his many marriage -alliances' with women of heathen and unbelieving nations, who “turned away his heart after other gods.” After his death his son Rehoboam foolishly angered his1 people by harsh and arbitrary despotism, and ten of his twelve tribes- revolted, following Jeroboam as their king and leaving Rehoboam only the southern tribes. Hence­ forth the divided kingdom was known as Israel and- Judah. Asa wae one of the kings1 of Ju­ dah who turned humbly back to God When a prophet of God brought him a courageous exhortation to worship and serve God, we read that As& “took courage, and put away the abominable idols1 of all the land.” He gathered his people together and- “the Lord his God was witli him.” A nation-wide revival followed, war* ceased for many years, and there was national blessing and prosper­ ity. _ ¥Several great prophets of •od, true and courageous men, furnish interesting character studies during these lessons, Elijah was perhaps her night out.

He smiled to him­ self an swung quickly toward the stairs. Barry let himself in quietly. An­ ne was not there. He turned toward the door, blindly! There was the slight sound of its opening. Anne stood there staring at him. “Oh—Barry.” She said it breath­ lessly. “You startled me.” His eyes swept -over her swiftly, suspiciously, and dropped to the slim perfection of her flippers. On the side of one of them, marring its delicate sheen, was a long earth i sttain. The blood sang in his ears again, so that he scarcely heard his voice. “Anne, where have bean?” Before that hard note she ped short. “Why, Barry, what is the ter?” “Where have you been at hour of the night?” “At this hour? Why, it isn’t “I’ve been in the garden.

Barry’s mother must have seen her and icarried the -story to him in bitter triumph. Who else hated, her enough to do that? She wanted to tell him the while hateful .story, but she must not. “Somebody must have been will­ ing to carry tales about me to have hurried the news to you as quickly as that.” She saw him flush, but she went on bitterly. “And whether I was there -or not, I won’t talk ■that insolent' about it.

I believe we’re going to see the clandestine meeting. How i exciting!” Down the shadowed path -a girl’s figure moved quickly. She skirted the far end of the garden an-d went with slower steps towards the -hedge The hedge was lower at that end of the garden. -On the other side of it -a. man nodded slightly and saun­ tered -along toward the rear gate. Cleo was on her feet, breathing apologies. “Oh, Mrs; Duane, please forgive me. I didn’t dream—I didn’t mean to intrude like this. I’ll never for­ give myself . . . I’ll go now.” “My dear Cleo, you have not in­ truded in the least. I shall speak to Bertha, of course.” Grey-faced in the darkness. Mrs. Duane held her head high. No one, not' even Cleo Pendleton', should be allowed -to discuss this shameful thing jvith her. Cleo grimaced slightly, unseen. The lights flashed on. But after Cleo -had gone she plunged the room into darkness again and stood rigid­ ly unyielding. “My son’s wife!” Her face white in the darkness.
