Mr. George Hubbard made a very capable chairman. After deliv- ering a very appropriate speech, he called upon Joseph P. Wood to read the following address: De,{r Wilfred:' We have gathered here tonight to spend' a social evening with you. We wish you a very happy and prosper- ous married life. ` God has given you a wonderful musical talent which will be greatly missed in our commun- ity. When asked to entertain, you have always responded, cheerfully. No doubt our loss will be someone else's gain. Ars a token of esteem in Which your honor is held, we ask you to accept these chairs. Signed on behalf of the friends and neighbors, • i EPdoii Rever, John Denman. Mr. Arthurs made a very fitting re- ply. A hearty vote of thanks was thenextended to Mr. and Mrs. Doug- las for the hospitality of their home. The remainder of the evening was spentcars and dancing. in d g• A PLEASANT' SURPRISE On Tuesday evening of last week a large number of friends and neigh - boss" d atherohomeTr. and at theoflV a d Mrs, George Walker to express their regret that Mr. and Mrs; .

WINGHAM .ADVANCE -TI SUNDAY AFTERNOON October 23rd THE CALL OF THE PROPHET. T Kings x9:x9, 20; Antos 7:xo-x5; Isaiah 64-3, Golden Text—And I heard, the ;voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall,I send, and who will go for us?" . Then I said, Here am I; send me.-- Isa. e.—Isa. `6:8. The Lesson in, its Setting, Time—The call of Elisha; B,C. 9o9; that of Amos, about B,C, 793; that of Isaiah, B,C, 755• Place—The call' of Elisha, at Abel- mehola)f, northwest of Samaria; that of Ainos, at Tekoa, south of Beth,le- hem; that of Isaiah, at Jerusalem. The Call of Elisha. "So he departed thence.” Elijah, as we have already learned in Lesson II of this quarter, was on Mount Sinai, fleeing from the wrath of Jezebel. There God revealed himself to him in the "still small voice," bidding him anoint Razed as king of Syria, Jehu as, king of Israel, and Elisha aspro- phet in his own place, "And found El- isha the son of Shaphat." We are not told that Elijah knew Elisha before this, and it is probable that he did not, judging from the fact that Jehovah told him where this Elisha was to be found. Elijah was willing to accept God's appointment of a successor. "Who was plowing." Christ called some of His disciples while they were fishing, another while he was collect- ing taxes. He himself was called be- ing a carpenter, and Paul being a tent- maker. "With twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth." The possession of so many valuable. animals, with servants to drive; them, marked Elisha as a. rich man. "And Elijah passed over unto him, and cast his mantle upon him." It was a sheep- skin coat sothoroughly characteristic of the famous prophet that . Elisha knew at once the meaning of the act, nar-iely', that -with Elijah's garmeai: he was to assume Elijah's work, "And he left the:.oxen, and ran af- ter Elijah." Thus the young man made clear his understanding of the pro- phet's act and hisirentire willingness to take up Elijah's work in spite of the danger and hardships involved. "And said, Let lire, I pray thee, kiss my father and my. mother." 'That is, bid them farewell before I go. "And then I willfollow thee." A man once made this request of Jesus, promising to follow Him, after he had bidden farewell to his '=family, but our Lord, reading his heart, 'and doubtless per- ceiving that the man was insincere, and that it was a mere excuse, an- swered, "no man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom. of God." Elisha; however, honestly intended to follow Elijah, as his whole life showed. "And he said unto him, Go back again: for what'<have I clone to thee?" These Words can only mean, "I have not wanted to put any. constraint upon thee, but leave it to thy free will to decide in favor of the prophetic call- ing." The Call of Amos. "Then answered Amos, and said tb Amaziah." Amos was only a poor farmer and he was in the presence of one of the great men of the na- tion, who was fiercely angry with him; nevertheless the Spirit of God gave him courage and put strong words in his month, and thus he al- ways, at their time of need, aids those who are ready and willing to speak for Ilini. "I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son." The "sons of the prophets" were the members'. of theological schools such as those which Elijah and Elisha conducted, "sons" meaning spiritual offspring, pupils. "But I was a herdsman." From Amos 1:i we learn that Amos yeas a keeper of a certain kind of sheep, small,,,stunted in growth, with short legs and poorly shaped faces, but bearing especially choice and valuable wool. "And a dresser of sycamore - .trees." The sycamore or fig -mulberry is to be distinguished from our syca- more which isverydifferent r v a d (fere i t ec, "And Jehovah took me from follow- ing ollowing the flock," That is, from tending it, caring for it; not literally following, it, for Eastern shepherds do not drive their flocks before them, but them- selves gp before their flocks, the sheep following them. "And Jehovah said unto me, Go. Prophesy unto my people Israel." Israel, the North- ern Kingdom, was God's people as well as Judah, the Southern Kingdom. It had strayed farther from God than Judah, and therefore was the first to fall. It needed the ministry of God's set:vatit especially, : ' The Call of Isaiah, Isaiah was the son of Amoz (not Amos), and prophesied in Judah dur- ing the four reigns of Uxzlali; Joth- am, Allay and Ilezekrah, "le the year that king Uzziah died." While Jeroboam II hi the Northern Kingdom was extending the boundar- ies of Israel almost to the reach of David's realm, Xing Uzziali in Judah Was nearly as prosperous. Conquest had enlarged the domain of the South- ern Kingdom, its commerce was greatly increased, and its riches be- came enormous. "I saw the Lord sit- ting upon a throne, high and lifted up The throne was a lofty one;.: as befitted the majesty of Him who sat thereon, Isaiah' had been wondering who could' take theplace of the pcw- erful sovereign whose death had filled the land with mourning, "And his train filled the temple."" The robe`- of the Almighty was so wide -spreading that it filler), all the space in the,tein- ple, Through this regal vesture, as through a shining cloud, Isaiah caught glimpses of an, exalted throne, and of the, glorious Occupant on whom he did not dare to gaze. "Above Him stood the seraphim," While the Lord was seated, the ser- aphim stood in the attitude of serv- ants. Nowhere else in Scripture are the seraphim described, as angelic be- ings. "Each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain .he covered his feet,and with twain he did fly." "And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is Jehovah of hosts." This rhythmical call of the seraphim, repeated over and overr as the tense pf the verb implies, is the Trisagion or the Thrice Holy. "Holy" is repeated three times, perhaps in allusion to the•threefold nature of the Godhead. "The whole earth is full of his glory." Holiness is the inward 'na- . ture of the Deity, glory is its out- ward manifestation in the universe which He has created. "And the foundations' of the thresh- olds shook at the voice of him that cried." As each seraph in turn sound- ed .forth the majestic paean, so pow- erful were the organ -like vibrations that they shook the very earth, till the massive stone foundations, of the tem- ple rocked as in an earthquake. "And the house : was filled with smoke." Smoke is a symbol of the divine an- ger, aroused by human sin. God's holiness shining forth as God's glory, is veiled from men's eyes because' of. Vtheir sinfulness. • "Then' said I, Woe is me! for I am undone." Isaiah knew at once, and in- stinctively, the meaning of the smoke that filled the house. "Because I am a man of unclean lips." Isaiah does not speak of :unclean eyes, though the vision of Jehovah 'was obscured be- fore him; but he had essayed to join in the pure worship of the seraphim, and he felt' that his lips were not clean enough. "And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips." Isaiah knew that the moral pollution of the nation must have influenced hirn, fight as he might against it. "For mine eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of hosts. This clause goes back to Isaiah's exclama- tion "I am undone," arid gives a sec- ond reason for it; he had beheld the. pure and overpowering image of Je- hovah, the Lord of hosts, and it was the belief.o£ ancient times that no one could look upon God and live. "Then flew one of the seraphim unto roe, having a dive coal ill his hand, which he had taken with the tongs front off the altar;" The tongs, were one of the sacred instruments of the temple, used bythe priests in the offering of sacrifices. "And he touched my moth with it, and said, Lo, this. hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin forgiven." "Thy sin aton- ed for," the verb being the one used in speakingof expiation through sac- rifice. ",,And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?". The purified Isaiah is now fitted to hear the words of Jehovah, which before this he could not hear or understand. The change of the pronoun from "1" to "us" may be understood as the plural of majes- ty, or as an indication of the Holy Trinity, or, as most commentators. interpret it, as including the seraphim in the question. Whoever should be sent would go as a representative of the Deity and also of all the heaven- ly hosts attendant upon him. "Then I said, Here am ,I ;; send me." "Woe is mel" cried Isaiah, conscious of his site "Here am II" he fairly shouted su his exuberant joy over sins forgiven and purity restored. He had been weighed down with a sense; of nation- al wickedness; in his new 'strength he rejoices to be sent with Gods mes- sage to those same wicked people.
