ELIJAH HEARS GOD'S VOICE Sunday, July 2'2—I, Kings 19; 9-21. Golden Te ct: Speak, Lord; for Thy Servant he told the Lord again how jealous he had been for the Lord God of hosts, and all the rest of it. Now the Lord had some new and surprising Coenn]ssions for Elrjah, He was to go hundreds of miles to the Mirth,' to Damascus, and anoint' a man' named Itazael to be king over Syria —that enemy -nation of Israel. ' jehu, an Israelite, Was to be anointed King over Israel, And --this must have startled Elijah—a Man named Elisha: was to be anointed "prophet in thy room." Another man could actually carry on Elijah's world Elijah had thought 'he was indis- pensable to God's cause. To be sure he had asked God to take his life— but very few people really mean that when they say it, And God had saved still ane more surprise for his overwrought and very >� ar self-conscious prophet.

The dancing sounds came from the pret- -field:. There were hours sun's rays were slanting from the _ warmth and , she and Barry Duane had travelled on his life within twenty-four hours, their first ride together. Elijah turned and fled, For over an hour she rode slowly. He went alone into the wilderness, Then she reined in and dismounted. and yielded to a physical and spiritual reaction from the high tension under which he had been living. God sent 'an angel to take care of him in the matter of food and drink, and then Elijah found that God was working another miracle for him, for he "went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God." This was far south in the Sinaitic Peninsula. There follows the account of an am- azing interview between God and this man—amazing in its simplicity, its directness, its unexpected lessons— not only for Elijah, but for us today. The prophet had taken refuge in a cave in the mountain ,and there "the a sudden series of thumps, like dance 'Things were shaping up. Indoors and sag hoofs on hard ground_ °:cut.

Then He told God how reprehen- sible the people of Israel had been. They "have forsaken the covenant, thrown down Thine altars, and slain Thy prophets with the sword." Elijah and the Israelites were set over against eachother in sharp and shining contrast by Elijah's little speech, and the contrast was not un- favorable to Elijah. And now chimes the dismal ending of Elijah's oration: "And I, even I' only, am left; and they seek my life' to take it away."

BENEFITS OF A SOIL ACIDITY TEST The promiscuous use of lime to sweeten the soil may be a wasteful practice, depending on what crops are to be grown and the acidity of the soil. On the other hand, some soils to the trail and make her long way rail, and that man was Elijah. 'And home. what did he get for it? Nothing but The trail? The thought startled persecution and threatened death, and her. She made a turn, blankly strange, and came suddenly on a wall of rock. It rose sheer, two hundred feet or more, directly in her path.

The Lord seems to ignore all that Elijah has said, and he tells the pro- phet to "go forth and stand upon the mount before the Lord." A dramatic picture is painted for us, "And, behold, the Lord passed by,. and a great and strong wind rent the wall of cliff, and ahead and on both mountains, and brake in pieces the sides stretched an endless reiteration of trees and undergrowth and rocks in bewildering confusion.

Probably the old rascal had invited himself to saipper at Trail's End. Barry was thinking of a shabby lit- tle ranch house in a small valley, where a girl was gallantly tackling a man's job.

There was one more event to fol- low the tempest, the earthquake and the fire, in none of which was the Lord, "Andafter the fire a still, small, voice," Wheat Elijah heard this voice he recognized it as God's. He covered his face with his mantle, went out and stood in the entrance of the cave, Again came God's voice with the same question :+"What doest thou here, Elijah?" Did Elijah now have an entirely different reply to make to the repeat- ed questibn? We might expect so. H. W. COLBO'RNE, M.D. PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON Medical Representative D. S. C. R. Phone 54.
