GOD TAKING CARE OF ELIJAH.
"I'he camel of idolatry first got his head
into the tent of Israel, and then in the
shortest tine possible he was all in, hump
hoof, and tail. At first there was no
notion of supplanting the worship of Je-
hovah. The golden calves were only set
up as substitutes for the awe-inspiring
furniture of the temple to which for polit-
ical reasons the people were no longer to
resort. ‘‘These represent thy God,”’ was
the language in which they dedicated.
They broke the second commandment in
an effort to keep the first, making a graven
image to remind them that they must have
no other God but Jehovah. Thus idolatry
began in the mildest form possible. But
it was a starton a down-grade. Velocity
augmented. A few decades, and the whole
kingdom landed in total apostasy.
Priests of God were in exile, and his
prophets shut in caves. Under patronage
of Jezebel, her ancestral worship was made
the State religion. The cruel and lasciv-
ious worship of Baal and Astarte were
substituted for the pure and elevating
theism of the Old Convenant. On the
very spot where Abraham. had worshiped
| the invisible and Holy One, were now
"altars for human sacrifice and groves for
the goddess of love. Such disease as this
needed heroic treatment. The case brook-
ed nodelay. Elijah was a physician after
the Lord's own heart. He was not lack-

ing in nerve or skill. He consulted with
the Lord only.
The accepted idea of a prophet is too
mechanical. We have been accustomed to
imagine one called to this office as so pos-
sessed by the Divine Spirit that his person-
al will and judgment are practically sup-
planted. He is moved like an automaton.
A verse in St. James’s epistle turns a
strong light upon the prophetic office, and
corrects our misapprehension. ‘‘Elijah
was a man of like nature as we are,’ In
and out of his special function, he was a
perfectly normal character. Over in Tish-
be of Gilead he contemplated the disgrace
and impending ruin of his country. His
heart was stirred with patriotic feelings,
as ours are by events now transpiring.
Do not take Elijah ont of the category of
perfectly normal human life. St. James
says his feelings and emotions were jost
such as ours would be under similar cir-
cumstances. In his distress he communed
with God., Is the evil remediless? Can
not the people be chastened? Will not
drought and famine bring them to repen-
tance? He believes so. He prays that it
may not rain. Can he aspire to be Je-
hovah’s ambassador to the Court of Ahab?
It 80 he places himself unreservedly at the
disposal of the Almighty. So, of his own
will, with use of his own judgment, in
normal manner he becomes Israel’s reform-
er. Some scholars have been annoyed at
she ahraptness of Elijah’s appearance in
the narrative. The Jerusalem Talmud
fills in the apparent hiatus with an imagin-
ary conversation between Elijah and
Ahab. It 1s gratuitous. Abruptness isin
appearance only. From St. James we
know how a season of prayer prepared the
prophet for his mission. The people
would recognize him as Jehovah’s messen-
ger Conscience would tell them why the
scourge was sent.
Next this'portrait of the prophet hangs
that of the widow of Zarephath. Plague
of famine has fallen upon her. She is
gathering fuel to bake the last cake. A
footstep! She looks up. A stranger: a
Hebrew; a prophes. Possibly the prophet
whose word has brought the famine.
However, she recognizes in the alien a fel-
low-sufferer. He, to, is famine-stricken.
Her benevolence rises to subdue her racial
prejudice, and even the stronger passion,
her religious prejudice. The prophet
makes as great a requisition as was ever
made upon himself. She honors it. So
this heathen woman, whose faith excelled
that of any woman of Israel, received a
prophet, and with a prophet’s reward. It
was no accident that Elijab was sent to her.
She was worthy. Now she stands forever
incensed with the Savior’s commeudation
and ballowed with His praise.
|
THE TEACHER'S LANTERN. |
The prophet needed uo introduction. !
His very name. Elijah, ‘‘ Jehovah is my |
God,’’ is a rebuke to the current idolatry.
To have given the pedigree of Elijah,
would be merely to satisfy curiosity. It
could not add to his worth. He could
smile at the claims of long descent. Well
does Tennyson sing:
‘““Howe’er it be, it seems to me
’T is only noble to be good;
Kind hearts are more than coronets.
And simple faith than Norman blood.’
* * * Sie *
Aud Elijah had a kind heart spite of ap-
parent severity. He burst through hounds
of personal interest, stood alone in peril,
all for the rescue of his fellow-countrymen.
He was severe to the few, that he might be
merciful to the many.
* * *
* *
said
History does not afford a sunblimer ex-
ample of faith than in man who, single-
banded, repaired the desecrated altar on
Carmel, and in presence of an apostate king
and people competed with our hundred
and fifty priests, deliberately giving them
every advantage. Well may Mendelssohn’s
immortal oratorio reace its most realistic
and thrilling strain when it points the
frenzy of the priests and the calm assurance
of the prophet!
* * * * *
‘‘He repaired the altar of the Lord that
was broken down.’”’ The act was Elijah’s
whole work in epitome. No Scripture
more graphically shows the completeness
with which a divine religion is put under
control of human will. The altar, in
spite of the fact that it was the J.ord’s, was
yet broken down, and that by human
hands. A consecrated human hand was
also privileged to restore it. The same is
true to this day in the Church.
* x * * *
The Lord has his prophets yet. Who see
the evil. Whose hearts are stirred. Who
put themselves at disposal of heaven for
reformation of the evil.
* * * * *
Two portraits appear upon the same
page. Women, contemporaries, same race,
worshipers of same gods. Here resem-
blance ceases. One is a queen, ambitions,
cruel, intolerant, licentions. Other a
widow, on whom and her dying son the
plague has fallen with all its weight. Her
benevolence and faith outshine the queen’s
jewels.
* * * * *
No accident these two portraite appear
together. Bible seachers by example.
Each character stands for an opposite prin-
ciple of life. In Jezebel it was love of self.
In the widow it was love of others.
* * * * *
Outcome of the two lives ‘was what
might have been expected. Jezebel dies a
violent death at hands of traitorous me-
nials. Whether it be true or not that the
widow’s son became the Prophet Jonah,
at any rate she received commendation of
the Prophet of prophets.
Hotter than Death Valley.
“Death valley, in Southern California,
is usually referred to as the hottest spot on
earth, but it isn’t quite tbat,”’ Ralph Erling
elle me. ‘This rather unpleasant distinc-
tion belongs to a portion of the shore of
the Persian gulf at and in the vicinity of
Bahrin.
“Statistics prove that the mean annual
temperature of the Persian gulf furnace is
11 degrees higher than that of Death val.
ley,and the aridness of both places is about
on a par, though I am inclined to helieve,
if my recollection of the records is not
blunted, that a little brackish water has
been found in a few isolated springs on the
alkali surface of Death valley, whereas
there is no water at all to be found on the
shore of the gulf anywhere within a radius
of nearly 200 miles.
“Yet, while Death valley is inhabited
by practically none and permanent life
there is deemed well nigh impossible,
Babrin has a population of several thou-
sand people and has had an existence asa
village for many centuries, Of course the
people are stunted mentally and to a slight-
ly less extent physically, a fact due to the
fearful conditions under which they live;
but they do live there and are probably
the nearest approach to salamanders in the
human family. What do they do for water

them in hoats and sold in exchange for
fertilizer they dig from the desert, and the
latter they have in fairly zood abundance
near them. You thought I said there was
no water within several hundred miles of
the place. Well, so I did—on the land—
bus there are a number of fresh water
springs on the bed of the saline gulf with-
in a few hundred yards from the shore.
“It 13 probably the only place on earth
where fresh drinking water is secured
from the salty sea. The water gushes up
in considerable volume from these springs
and is secured by divers. The gulf is only
about 30 feet deep at this point. The
divers plunge to the bottom with. empty
goatskins and place the orifice of the skin
bag directly over the mouth of the spring;
it fills in a few seconds, and the diver
closes the orifice and is pulled back to the
boat by arope. That is the way the water
supply for the community on shore is
procured. The springs are supposed to he
due to underground streams which have
their origin in the green hills of Osman,
over 500 miles inland.”’—8%. Louis Globe-

The Cost of War.
The London Daily News sags: ‘‘The
world looks on and applauds forgetful of
the fact that a battleship costs £1,000,000,
that £1,000,000 make 10,000,000 yen, that
10,000,000 yen make 1,000,000,000
sen, and that a Japanese male
adult operative earns in a year
about 8000 sen, or £8. The wages for a
whole year of 125,000 male adult opera-
tives are sunk in a single Japanese battle-
ship.”
