Golden‘ Text— slteth a nation. ba _ to any people-Psi: 14:84.

NOTES BY REVLC. RISEB

in every one of our lessons. during the quarter, we have had some great prominent truth brought before us. ln our first lesson we have the consa~ qnences of sin. seen in the reading of the kingdom in the days ot Behohosm. Bin divides, sin separates. ' Our ﬁrst thought is. The sin of Division. Mark the‘ which cause divisions. (Rom. 1d: 17.)~When Joseph seat his brethren fro Egypt to bring down their fath-

,’ e said to them, See that ye fall

gout by the way. Solomon sowed theisceds of division when he went sttdr the gods oi his heathen wives and? built high places for the worship fhemosh and Moiock. God said l wl _rend the kingdom from the. This division Rehoboam brought to s cli- max by his foolishness. Henceforth the’ ten tribes. which followed Jere- hosm. followed idolatry: Wllivii 911d?" in ly in the destruction of both Is éi and Judah.

2. Lesson Central thought: Decision. Elijah stood by the Altar of Jehovah God and said, How long halt ye he- twsen two opinions‘! if Jehovah he (lod, follow Him; but if Baal. then follow him. There comes s time in mqfs lives when they have to decide. No ‘man can serve two masters. At which altar will you worship? ln which temple will you burn incense‘! Wrote all called upon to coniess Jesus Christ. Who will make his Dec- ision? _

ykThc Resurrection oi Jesus Christ fr the dead sets before us the great Power of Almighty God. “Now hath Christ been raised from the dead and become the ﬁrst fruits of them that are asleep.“ The Supreme liirncle is the llcssvirrcction of Jesus Christ from

the dead. 4. Amos the prophet teaches us the lesson of l-‘earlessness.

them uttered in the kingdom of

“While we pray and while we plead. Fhile you feel your soul's deepened."

‘lire fearless note and the persuasive note. l-‘.ach prophet, according to their tempI-rament. used by tho Spirit.

h. Sin drives men into Exile. Banish- Irent is the word in this lesson. Cain's wailing cry was. "l shall be a luilltive shd a vagahond in the earth. Israel's captives among the hills and valleys oi Assyria were banished from the land of their fathers" Bin always divides a man from God. The ﬁnally inlpcnii-

t must hear the sentence oi the Fion

man on the throne of His glory. Depart from liie. And these shall go sway. (ilatt. 25.)

d. The great doctrine or thought in this lesson lsthat of inﬂuence. if you read the story of Jehoida care- fully you will see that he was s man of tremendous inﬂuence. The power behind the throne. Athaliah was queen snd had idol temples and Baal wor- ship._but Jehoida stood for the tem- ple'of Jehovah. He had great inﬂuence over the captains nml the army. and when the time came they gathered to him in the temple snd crowned the young Jossh king. His inﬂuence is seen over the king all his life. He was hurled in the sspulchra ot the kings. Every man has an inﬂuence.‘ No man livelh to himself. (Rom. 14: 7.) “Make straight paths for your feet lest that which is lame be turned out of the way."

7. Lesson. Here we have the great truth of the Deliverance which comes through Prayer. lsaiah the prophet prayed and Hesakiah the king prayed Also lsaiah the prophet, the son of Amos, prayed and crlcd to heaven. (2 (‘lrrorn 32:20.) This was all1hcy could do. The army oi Assyria was on the march and before it Hezekiah was helpless: Jerusalem was doomed un» less help came from heaven. Deliver- sncc came:

The false rievv of other nations and men held by the Kaiser and the teaching of Nietsche. about tha—Ger- man superman, led up to the gloat war. it brought death. agony and suf- fering to millions. a ' preached Righteousness as s sure way of main- taining the existence of the kingdom. We know this is the only true way. We with our great light from Jesus Christ know that God so loved the World . -. . That Jesus Christ is God's Son, the only begotten Son; and that He is the propltiation for our sins and not ior ours only but for ths sins oi the Whole World. it was Paul the Christian Jew who stood upon .\iars Hill. la Athens. and declared that God had made oi one every no: 10a of men to dwell on the face oi the ~arth. Love your country, your own -ountrymen. Be a Patriot in the high- -st sense. if you have to ask, And who is my neighbor! you have failed to grasp the True idea of a Patriot.

The kings of the earth and sll the inhabitants oi the world would not have bellowed that the nd~ versnry and the enemy would have en- tered into the gates oi Jerusalem. 11mm. 4: 12.)

harps hung upon the willow trees. growing on the hanks of the rivers of Babylon. Yes. and also God's prophet Ezekiel in the Spirit of Jehovah was there. Seeing visions snd hearing words of comfort for the sorrowful ones. The word. the central thought. is l-aaouragement. Look at some of his great messages of Comfort. God said to Enekiei. declare sll that thou seest to the house of lsrael. And he did so. Restoration was written large. 1.

l1. in this lesson we have a proph- -cy of Restoration in a great historic event. Zcrubhabel and the liixlles re- turned and rebuilded the Temple. Final Restitution is surely before us. The time will come when He shall sit up- on llis throne and sy. "Behold l make all things new." The Golden day will surclycome. He must reign until He hath put all things under His feet. ils will ilnlsh the work and cut it short in n’ hteousness.

Lesson 12. We must keep our ieet upon the earth. Life is real .iife is earnest. The temple was rebuilt and the wall ofthe city; all this was Res- toration work. Yeruhbabel. Esra. Neh- emiah. all fought hard in the work. Greater than these temporal buildings and walls was the Reformation in the people's hearts snd lives. The grand- est. temples and most magniﬁcent cit- ies are deiiled by sinners. God's liab- bath must be restored to its real state. Marriage must he kept pure and sac- red. The temples of men's hearts must
