( get close to people, and succeed quite
I iii proportion as they do so. There
is no Fielding folks at a distance, do
haughty exclusiveness, in true ion, "And he repaired, the altar of
Je-
hovah
that was thrown down," There
had been an altar to the true God
on top, of Carmel in the old . days,
when pious Israelites, wishing to wor-
ship at home as well as in Jerusalem,
reared 'altars to Jehovah at,. various.
places in Palestine.
"Arid Elijah took twelve stones, ac
cording to the number of the tribes
of the sorts of Jacob.' Unto whom the
word of Jehovah cane, saying, Israel
shall be thy name." Elijah reminded'.
the people, probably, by a brief ad-
dress, that their .very name, "Israel-
ites," "God prevailers," rebuked their.
neglect of God's altars and of the na-
tional 'religion, and their turning to
heathen idols which had never done
anything for them. •*)
"And with the stones he built an
altar in the name of Jehovah. He de-
dicated the altar to Jehovah, calling
upon the divine name as he erected
it, and` solemnly announcing to the
people that this was an altar to the
one true God. "And he made a trench
about the altar, as' great as would
contain two measures' of seed." A
two-seah measure, two seahs being
equal to twenty-one quarts. Hie`made,
a. trench as deep as a two-seah meas-
ure was high.
"And he put the woad in order."
He arranged the light kindling wood
first on the altar, and on top of it
placed the heavier piecesthat were
to burn the sacrificial initial. "And
cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it
on the wood... The bullock was to
represent the people's possessions
and their very Hearts; which they
should offer up to God in sorrow for
their sins. "And he said, Fill four
jars with water." The land had been
parched for months with a terrible
drought, but Mount Carmel was still
able to furnish water. "And pour 'it
on the burnt -offering, . and on the
wood" Elijah's object was ,to make
the miracle which he was expecting
manifestly a miracle. Ilis faith ex-
tended into the impossible, for he
knew that what is impossible to a
man is possible, with God.
"And he said, Do it the second
time; and they did it the second time."
It was not enough for Elijah to make
sure that what was to happen . would
be a miracle, he must make it evi-
dentto all the spectators that it was
a miracle. "And he said, Do it a third
time; and, they did it the third time."
God likes to be tested with inipossi-
bilities, if only the testis along the
line of His known will.
"And the water ran around about Mrs. William Baldwin is home for
the altar; and he filled the trench also a few days from Stratford where' she er judging competitions to be held

roundings of it as well.
"And it came to pass at the time
of the offering of the evening obla-
tion." The daily evening sacrifice re-
quired by Mosaic law consisted of a
burnt -offering and a meal offering.
"That Elijah the prophet came near.
He had withdrawn by himself for
earnest prayer, though probably the
spectators had, him in distant view,
so as to realize what he was doing
and remain in :eager expectancy.
"And said,.0 Jehovah, the God of Ab
sahani, of Isaac, and of Israel." This
formula, so familiar to us, was un-
familiar
nfamiliar to those idol -besotted listen-
ers. "Let it be known this day that
thou art God in Israel." This was the
object of the miracle, to prove the
power, authority, and supreme glory
of Jehovah. ` It was for that purpose
that Elijah dared "to ask the miracle.
"And that I am thy servant, and that
I have done all these things at thy
word." The same miracle that proved
Jehovah to be' the true God would
authenticate the prophet who had
spoken in His name, and had foretold
the drought.
"Hear me, ,Jehovah, hear nie, that
this people may know that thou, Je-
hovah, art God." Elijah had no doubt
that God.was hearing him. When we
beg God to hear us ; we are merely
pleading our earnestness, but quos
tiorling His attention to our prayer,
"And that thou hast turned their
heart back again." The perfect tense
is used to signify that the repentance
of .the people is as certain as if it
had already taken place.
"Then the fire of ;Jehovah.. fell." A:.
sudden flash of lightning darted from
the : sky, clearly miraculous as the
sky was cloudless. Often through
Scripture history, in the New Testa -
meat as well as the Old, Jehovah
manifests :Himself in fire "And con-
sumed the burnt -offering, and the
wood, and the stones, and the dust,
and licked tip the water that was in
the trench." A more complebe and
marvellous answer to prayer could
not be imagined.,
"And when all the people saw it,
they fell on their faces,' As Saul and
his companions ; fell oil their faces be-
fore the great light that flashed out
g
ori the Damascus road at noonday, a
light *ht above thc'brightness of the Pal-
est ,e sun, "And they said, Jehovah;
in
He is God) Jehovah, He is God."
