ing, Whine shall I send, and who will

the errand on whieb His nresseegcr
iS to -,go or where he is to go; it is
enough that it is God's errand, God's
messenger :and message. "Then I
said; Here an 'I; send me." --This is

ficult service by every courageous,
consecrated soul.
ISAIAH'S SIGN,
"In the year that Tai;tan (title of
tlie. Assyrian commanding general)
came unto Ashdod (one of the chief
'cities of the Philistines, between Ju-
dab and the Mediterranean), when
Sargon the king of Assyria sent him.
--Sargon was the Assyrian king who
721 had deptured Samaria
and so. .overthrown' tie Northern
Kingdom. "And he; fought against
Ashdod and took it." --Ashdod had
expected the aid of 'Ethiopia, then in
control of Egypte and had formed
against Assyria . a league' of neigh•-
boring countries, which Judah udder
King Hezekiah had foolishly .joined...
"At that time Jehovah spake by
Isaiah the son of, Ainoz, ' satyitg, Go
and loose the sackcloth from off thy
loins, and put thy shoe from off thy
foot."—The sackcloth was' a coarse,
hairy garment worn as a' distinguish-
ing sign by the prophets and as a
sign of inourring. "And he did so,.
walking ' naked,. and barefoot."—He.
=went dressed .ire the garb of a slave,
and that, in a person of Isaiah's
rank and prominence, 'would occa-
sion snitch. comnent, aiid -lead to ex-
planations which the • prophet and
his .friends were glad to give, for it
wasdone to advertise Isaiah's ideas
end teachings.
t ISAIAH'S CONSOLATION
In those. days."—In the days of
Hezelciah, some time before the the
vatic event described in the preced-
ing chapter. "\Vas Hezckiah'sick un-
to death."—Verse 21 has fed many.
commentators to think that "the
king's malady Was. the plague, a
terrible and swiftly fatal seizure.
"And' Isaiah the prophet the son of
Ainoz caste to hint,"-1rVe see the
familiar' relation in which the pro-
phet stood to the monarch.. "And
said unto hiin, Thus saith Jehovah."
—.Isaiah lived so close to God, and
was so conscious of his indwelling,
that he . could utter his Words • as a
divine message. "Set thy house in
order; for thou shalt die, and not
live."—A sovereign has many import-
ant duties to perform as death draws
near, that -the kingdom ' may pass
without jar to his successor; but ev-
ery one should have his affairs so
ordered at all times that his death
may not cause confusion and dismay.
"Then .Hezekiah turned his face to
the wall."—"The 'royal couch- was in
the corner, as . the Eastern place of
honer, the face turned to it, as seek-
ing privacy and avoiding the gaze of -
men,. "And prayed unto Jehovah."—
This king's faith -filled reliance on
prayer is a marked feature' of his -
biography.
"And said, Remember now, 0 Je-
hovah, I beseech thee."—God does
not forget, as mere might, and yet He
is not displeased when we .approach
I-Iim as We would approach an earth
ty father. "How I have walked be-
fore the in truth and with a per
feet heart, and haw e 'done that which
is good in thy Sight;"—Hezekiah, had
reader been a good king, and had
earnestly sought to do God's will-
verse 17 shows that lie dict not really
regard himself as sinless. "And Hc .-
ekiah wept sore;" -He was still . a
young Matt,. sed had no son and suc-
csesor, "In the East feelings are -but

laughter and shouting, grief in tears

"Then cane the word. of Jehovah
to Isaiah."—'.Che prophet had gone
Out, but his footsteps were arrested
before he reached the middle court of
the: palace, and he went back in 'res-
Ponse to the king's prayer.
"Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus
saith Jehovah, the God of David thy
fattier."-l'tezek'iah's great ancestor,
David, has often-beee rescued tied ,up-
held by Jehovah, and his experience
would be a cotnfnrt to Hezekiah. "1

ISAIAH'S CALL. '
"In the year that King Ilzzieh died,
-7=his great king of Judah hada bril
liant reign of -about half a centruy,
"1 saw the Lord."—When the great
earthly: monarch passed away, the
prophet '.sa.w •the Lord. "Sitting upoii,.

ly of human form, the Messengers of

the divine glory, so resplendent as to
be blinding. "And with twain -he cov-
ered his feet,'—This was in modesty,
"the feet" implying all the lower part
of the body: - "And with twain he did
fly."—Reverence, humility, and swift
obedience fare symbolized by the
wings.
"And one cried unto another."--•
The form of the Hebrew verb implies
a repeated call; perhaps it 'was res-
poesive, one seraph crying, "Holy,
holy, holy, is Jehovah of hosts," and
another seraph answering with "The
whole earth is -full. of leis glory." The
thrice -repeated "Holy" has been held
to be an illusion to. the Holy Trinity.
God's glory is the outward manifesta-
tion of His holiness. "Jehovah of
hosts," "the Lord' of the Sabbath,"
means "the sovereign of all the pow-
ers of the universe," "the Almighty."
"And the foundations of the thres-
holds (of the temple) shook at the
voice of hint that cried."—As if the
solid earth trembled in fear and awe.
"And the house , (the sanctuary of the

Children of Celebrated Men Criticize
Their Writings.
The youngest daughter of R. H.
Dana, author of "Two Years Before
the Mast," Mrs. Henrietta Dana Skin-
ner (in "An Echo from Parnassus")
recalls that as a child Lungfcllow's
house a;; Cambridge, Mass., was "al-
most a second home to me." The two
families were neighbors and intimate.
friends, and the children or both
studied and played together.
The Longfellow "kiddies," it
seems, sonietiiues made jekc s about
poetry in which their hither aided
and abc,ted them.
"A favorite breakfast dish of the
family was battereakes baked in cups
Which puffed out lit the baking till
they were mostly crust and little in-
side," Mys. Skinner says. "These, were
known as 'popovers,' but ;ht' Long-
fellow children called them 'poetry"
cakes,' because they explainedwith
great gusto, 'there's nothing ing in
them!' and this joke their father re-
lished hugely."
Which recalls a story Ian elaelOren
-,author of that. :phenomenal best

nie Briar Bush" —used to tell.
