The Syrian nation was a military nation, with all elute the word im- plies, and Captain Naaman was the - comenander-inechief of all its armies, I the headquarters of which were to be found In the Damascus capital. But Nauman wielded a higher influence " than that which belongs even to the greatest soldier of a ruilitare' king- dom, The phrase used by the inspir- ed historian, "a great man, with his master, and honorable," implies that he held a position more powerful in the kingdoin than the head . of the priyy council, the pierne minister or the secretary Of state or secretary of the treasury, and he may have held, through the prestige of his military sticeesses, some or•all, of these offices in his own person, as great pashas often do in Oriental lands. He oceu- pied practically the sarne position in • the Damascus capital that the Duke of Wellington occupied after the battle of Waterloo. The Duke of Wel- liegton, by the overthrow of the Na- poleonic dynasty, not only became the prime minister of England, but her 'awhile the most influential states- man in 411 Europe.

The child was doomed. He was 4 . leper! But, though leprosy may come in a seemingly harmless way, the disease for four, flve, ten, even fifteen years Will keep on steadily spreading.

They are !blinded to their sins and seofX at the warning that their own fate MaY yet be that of the multitudes who, in the palaces of the rich and the great, have perish- ed from the same indifference. Reckless and indifierent was the of ihe people ot. London dur- ing the great plague about two cen- turies ago. Ainsworth, the histoie Ian, tells, us filet during those har- rowing and gruesome months the, London stores were nearly all closed, The doors of the private homes were nearly all barred anti bolted save alun they were • op*.d at the ap- proech of a bell ringer who was seat- ed upon it pile of sstenchful corpses because -he was out -driving the dead tart and collecting the different bod- ies of the dead. Yet at that time in London there woke men. and women who whistled ands laughed and danc- ed and sang and blasphemed under the very shedow .of these horrors, • The noted wine cellars of -the aristoe errata homes were broken into and rifled. The c-hurches and the cathed - eats were robbed of their pews. and pulpits, and turned into.tlance There the- young .men • and the young women would carouse during the long hours of the night and day as though this awful London plague would nev- er strike them. - They would dance and sing and bletepheme even while the driver of the dead cart wee weed- ing his -way through the depertesci street ringing the bell and. crying : "Bring out, bring. outs your dead!" They .would laugh and sing and blas- pheme even when one of • the dancers would drop at their feet with the eat - al meek of 4:/eath on his brow. They. would laugh 40 sing and blaspheme even While they were throwing the 'dead bodies of their -late companions out of the open: ehuieth windows" whore they would fall into the gutter and lie there poisoning :the air 'until the dead. cart made Another round. So there are -men ane women spirit - 1141 lepers living in thehomes of the rich and poor' alike sho ere as ut- terly indifferent to the approach , of . oteinat death caused by sin as were some of .the inhabitants of England during- the wholesale -slaughter of hue Mail life in the great London • plague -of about two centuries' ago.

Hforesaw that they would wander from Him and be scattered among °VI-, er nations, and He here instructs them what to de in such a case and what Me would, flo when they returned to Iltni with the, whole heart, In theee opening verses of our lesson He tell them that the means of their restore, tion did not have to be sought in,heav.., en nor at the ends oe the earth, but was ,always nigh. them, God ghost) them to be a righteous, people,'He Him- self being their righteousness. If they wandered fromia11):1 into unrighteous, nese, there was no way for them but to return to aim from whom they wandered. An unanointelf eye would not see the death and resurrection of Christ in these words, but that is what Paul by the Spleit saw here when he quoted these words in Rom. -34, 6-8, When he was setting forth that Oiliest Is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. When we stand with God and see -from 411ia. standpoint, we see His way of right- eousness set forth everywhere front Gen, Ill, 15, 21; on to Rev. v, 9, 10, and onward, and it is always His own work, and His own work alone, by which He' brings people near to Him or restore, them when they wander away from Him. .

'Thus also did Joshua before he left them, urging them to fear theLord and serve Him, and yet telling them to make their choice (Josh. xxiv, 14, 15), , and encouragittg them to a right deci- sion bytelling them how he had de- cided, Whatever they might do. The righteousness which is required. is to love the Lord :Our God with allour heart and soul and strength and' our ' neighbor as ourself (Luke x, 27, 28), and .untli this -is done either by mi. or for us by 'another' we are unrighteous and .cannot inherit the kingdom (1 Cor. `vi; 9•,11), but tee grace of God takes .such unrighteous Mies and makes them ',righteous with Ills own 'righteousness. 17, 18.
