MICAH CIIAMPION TIE OP-
PRaSSED—Micah, Chapters 2, 3,
6 and 7:1-6
GOLpEN TEXT—He Male showed
thee, 01man, what is good: and what
cloth 3 ehovah require of thee, bet to
justly, and to love kindness, and to
walk humbly with thy God? --Mie,
The Ieesson in Its Setting,
Time:—Micah prophesied during
the reigns of Jotham, Allaz, and
Hezekiah, kings of 'Judah, 13. Ce,754
to perhaps ene.
Place: --Micah lived in 1VIoresheth
of Gath, about: twelve miles west of
Bethlehem.
Woe to them that devise iniquity
and work evil upon their ,bedsi. The
wicked oppressors of Micah's day
are represented as using the quiet
hours of the night; when honest men
are resting or communing with God,
in fixing upon sone evil scheme, and
planning ways of working it out.
When the morning is light they prac-
tise it. Wicked men are said to
"13ve darkness' rather than light, be-
cause their work are evil"; but those
are deeds of violence or theft, ac-
complish,ed when honest men are
asleep. Because it is the power of
their hand. 'Might makes right"
is their motto. Whatever oppressive
deed, they can do they will do. They
argue that if a man is too weak or
stupid to hold on to his possessions,
he deserves to lose them.
. And they covet fields, and seize
them; add hbuses, and , take them
away. Covetousness, forbidden in
the tenth Commandment, the Com-
mandment that pierces so deep into
the human heart, il a sin of the
spirit; but it is- 'certain, if we yield
to it for a time, to find issue in sin
ful 'deeds. The 'Jews held to their
lands most tenaciously. And they
opPress a man and his house, even
a man and his hertiage. "His house"
includes the man's descendants,
those who would inherit his, prop-
erty, and these vultures take away
their heritage.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah.
Micah, like all • the prophets, has
yieldedhire so completely to the
will of GOd -that he is confident he
is speaking Gods weak's. Behold,
against this. family *do I devise an
evil. These evil doers ("this fam-
ily") have been devising evil on their
beds; the. Almighty will now devise
their punishment. From which ye
shall not 7remove your necks, neither
shall ye walk haughtily. Their pun-
ishment takes the form of a yoke, the
yoke of subjecttion to a foreign pow-
er, which turned out ,to be Assyria.
ror it is an evil time. The rich op-
pressors may think themselves and
the nation to be prosperous and hap-
py; the prophett looks beneath the
surface appearances, the fine houses
and fine clothes and luxury and plea-
sure, and sees sin and misery fester-
ing there.
Woe to False Leaders!
Chapter 3 of the Book of Micah
begins with a still inore• savage pic-
ture of the iniquities of the ruling
classes of the prophet's' day. The
description has been compared to the
bitterest passages in Dante's "Infer-
no." These wicked men hate the
good and love the evil. They rend
the skin from their.victims, they tear
their flesh from their bones, they'
break their bones as if they would
toss them into a kettle to boil. The
time will come when these villains
will cry for mercy to Jehovah, but He
will not answer them, Be will hide
his face from them in His fierce anger
Wherever' there is an unjust ruler, he
shouki be made to read this stern
prophecy of Micah.
God's' Three Requirements.
Hear ye now what Jehovah saith.
Micah begins a number of his pro-
phecies with the earnest call,. 'Sear
ye." This great utterance has been
called "the most important in the
prophetic literature"; it closes with
a definition of religion which „is "the
greatest saying of the Old Testa-
ment." Arise, contend thou before
the mountains, and let the hills hear
thy voiee. Jehovah is speaking to
His prophet', and bidding his enter
the vast and majestic court of the
'mountains and bear witness there for
God and against the wicked nation,
Hear, 0 ye mountains, Jehovah's
controversy. The prophet now is
speaking; he is opening' the case for
the prosecutioh. And ye enduring
foundation of the earth. Men are
transitory; the great hills have seen
generation after generation pass away ,
in their folly and evickedness, but
they themselnes have enrittred, rot
Jehovah hath a contrOversy with His
people, and He will contend with
Israel. Israel is at eternity with Je-
hovah, and still is called "His peo-
ple." How loving and gracious is
the Teorcl, even in his controversieel
0 my people, what have I done
tiergeri,1:',,,-'7;,se; ;nee ti.elerenee'""ntenie'reereee'enenen,
WING/IAM ADVANCE -TIMES
unto thee? and wherein, have I
wearied thee? The Lord is now
speaking; the Kinof binge has d4'-
sc:ended from, the throne of the uni-
verse and deigns Himself to speak
tho court of the hills of the Garth.
Testify against me. The Lord will
not stand on the divine dignity, He
will allow man to make any come
plaiet and bring any charge against
Him,
Fer I brought thee up out qf the
land of Egypt, and redeemed thee
out of the house of bondage. God
pauses for the charge, but none is
brought, for' norie can be brought
And I sent before thee Moses, Aaron,
and Miriam. It was a marvellous
trio of leaders, two brothers and a
sister: lawgiver, high priest, and
prophetess,
0 tny people, remember now what
Balak king of Moab devised. Balak
sought to destroy the Israelites with
the curse of the prophet 13aalam as
they approached Canaan; read the
stirring story in Num. 22-24. And
what Balaam the son of Beor ans,
wered.him. He was moved by warn-
ings from Jehovah, and not only re..
fused to curse Israel, but blessed the
peeple and that repeated/y. Remem-
ber from Shittim unto Gilgal. The
last station of the Israelites in their
wilderness wanderings was Shittiin,
and their first station in Canaan was
Gaga', netween the two. was the
wonderful providential crossing of
the Jordan and that is what Jehovah
would have His people remember..
That ye may know the righteous
acts of Jehovah. The people had not
been able to charge Jehovah with any
4
unrighteous acts; on 'the contrary,
they have all these loving deeds of
their God to bear in mihd.,
Wherewith shall I come before
Jehovah, and bow myielf before the
high God? Israel, the nation, is now
speaking. As if struck with convic-
tion of his ingratitude, he asks what
gift he can bring to Jehovah that will
show his thankfulness for what the
Lord has done for him. Shall I come
before Him with burnt -offerings
with calves a year old? Burnt -offer-
ings, entirely consumed on the altar,
represented the entire Consecration
of the worshipper. Year-old calves
were regarded as the choicest.
Will Jehovah be pieased with
thousands of rams, or with ten thou-
sands of riyers of oil? Solomon, at
the dedication of the temple, offered
twenty-two thousand oxen and one
hundred and twenty thousand sheep.
Shall I give my first-born for my
trangessions, the fruit of my body
'for the sin ,of my 'soul? The story
of Jephthah's daughter shows this
cruel superstition far back in the days
of the Judges.
_He hath showed thee, 0 man, what
is good. The prophet again speaks
for, Jehovah, addressing a single
Israelite,. thus individualizing the na-
tion and coming at close grips with
them. And what do Jehovah re-
quire of theebut to do justly, and,
to love kindness, and to walk humb-
ly with God? Micah now adds the
fundamental requirement of a lowly
heart, submitted in profound obedi-
ence to the will of God. The Israelites
of the prophet's day were grasping,
greedy, unjust, and cruel in their deal-
ings with the poor. They were, oppres-
sive, 'and showed no mercy toward
those whom they had within their
power. They were haughty and proud
deeming' themselves alone worthy of
honor or wealth or station. All of this
Micah tells them, is in absolute oppo-
sition to God's requirements.
The voice of Jehovah mieth into
the city. The speaker is now not the
prophet, but the Lord, and he is talk-
ing no longer to the representative
Israelites, but to the central city of
the nation, Jerusalem. And the man
of wisdom will me thy ilia; Hear
ye the. rod, and who hath appointed
it "The rod" is the coming punish-
ment of the nation, the avenging
hosts of the Assyrians will drag the
people away into captivity. "
Are there yet treasures of wicked-
ness in the houae of the wicked? Has
the wicked man still in his house
treasures which he has obtained by
his wickedness? Is he keeping up his
evil deeds and continuing to heap up
his ill -got gains?
And a scant measure that is abone-
inable? The "measure" is named, viz.,
the ephah, a measure equivalent to
about three pecks.
Shall I be pure with wicked bal-
ances, and with a bag of deceitful
weights? If "I" is retained in the
translation, the people must be
speaking, breaking into Jehovah's
speech, their consciences being Arm's -
For the rich inen thereof are full
of violence. "Thereof" goes back to
"the city" of verse g, that is, Jeru-
salem. The rich men of the capital
got their wealth not only by trickery
but by highehanded violence, by ban-
ditry and robbery, itt person or by
hired accomplices, And the inhabi-
teats thereof have spoken lies, and
their tongue is deceitful in their
mouths, Mica has condemned the
acted lies of false balances and short
weights; but those who practicae eueli
knavery will not stop with it, brit will
goon to worded deceit, to lying about
their goods, to untrue representations
to 7eXaggerated advertisements, and to
lawsuits bolstered up by false witnes-
ses and feeged papers.
Therefore I also have smitten thee
with a grievou$ wound, "Also" sig-
nifies "in my turn", Israel. by his *ins
had been wounding, the loving heart
of God; stow God ,would be obliged
to wound Israel, I have made thee
desolate because of thy sins. Israel,
now so proud, surrounded by flatter-
ers and hangers-on, would 'be aband-
oned by them all when his punish-
ment should fall. In,his captivity and
exile he would be lonely indeed, and
would often deern himself to be for-
gotten.
WHY NOT THE BEST?
When a, Very seperior article can lee
had at the same price as in inferior
article one has no hesitation in taking
the better one, That is human nature.
In the Canadian newspaper field
thera is one "best," and that fact is
admitted by all. The ,FaanilY Herald,
and Weekly Star of Ivionireal is in a
class entirely by itself, asid Canada is
proud of it, It is a wonderful combin-
ation of three poblications, a great

You should have yotir own local pap-
