1. The cause of Israel's downfall.
Doubtless there were various converg-
ing causes, but the Main one was the
elimination of the truly religious ex-
perience from leaders and people. We
know from the prophet Hosea,. and
also from the narrative of the lessen
passage, that there was a loud ap-
pearance of religion (vs. 8-12), but
the reality was missing. The ritual
was a mixture of foreign customs, and
the conduct of the people was' frivol-'
ous and irresponsible. No man spared
his brother. No nation can endure
with sucb a sandy foundation.
2. The great responsibility of the
leaders. Hoshea had some redeeming
features of character (v. 2), but he
did not keep the -treaty wrbh the king
of Assyria.' He thought that he could
b • eak the covenant • with impunity—
and he paid the consequences of his
breach of faith.
Itis • said that. the German Chancel-
lor sneered at the idea, of Britain ad-
hering to her treaty with Belgium. It
was only a "scrap -of paper," and the
consequences of loyaty to it would be
dreadful. The British ambassador ro-
'plied that where honor was concerned,
Britain diet itot count' tha; cost. It
was a 'noble eoply; and one 'would like ,
to feel that the nation's ruilere al-
wayselived tip :te it. as Coerageously
as tliey did in 191 4.
