"Say- ing, Whine shall I send, and who will go for us?"—The Lord does not state 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 the answer ta'the call of God for di'f- 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 itself ]n sho v restrained: o � 1 11 is It�� laughter and shouting, grief in tears and, slit ill tries." "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.

"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."

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.
