THE INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON. »
Third Quarter. Lesson IX. 1 Kings XIX. 1-8
Sunday, August 28th, 1904.
ELIJAH DISCOURAGED.
Elijah is one of the towering, pictur-
esqae, and ever-living characters of Hebrew
history. His peership to Moses is indicat-
ed by the fact that with him he was per-
mitted to view our Savior’s transfigura-
tion. His imminence in Jewish thought
bad a singular illustration when Jesus was
crucified. The people thought the sufferer
on the cross called Elijah, and said, ‘‘Let
us see if Elijah will not come.’”” To this
very day in orthodox Hebrew homes there
is one occasion when a vacant chair is set
for the prophet, and he is the honored,
though invisible, guest. Elijah is more
frequently mentioned in the New Testa-
ment than any other prophet. The very
abruptness with which he enters the
annals of his times seems appropriate.
The descent and parentage of other proph-
ets is given with minute partioularity—
that of Elijah is omitted. Like the fabled
Melchezedech, he is without father or
mother, beginning or end of days. Some
one says he bursts into Hebrew history in
a storm, and makes his exit in a whirl-
wind.
Attention is directed again to this unique
character. He is not, however, in this in-
stance, seen riding the crest of a popular
reformation—its idolized hero—bat ig-
nominiously stranded upon the shore, where
the receding tide has left him. The picture
may not be as pleasing and exhilarating,
but it may be quite as profitable, or even
more 80, than the other. How to deport
serviceable in the evolution of character—
that is the prime lesson for the universal
human heart. And that lessdn God teach-
es us in His dealings with His servant in
the wilderness and in Mt. Horeb.
The dry bed of the brook Kishon at the
foot of Carmel runs red with blood of 450
priests of Baal. The king sits down at
command of the prophet toa sacred and
sacrificial banquet on the top of the same
mountain. But the prophet does not feast.
He prays. He unlocks the windows of
heaven with the key of faith. At first
token of approaching storm he bids the
king hasten his return to his palace lest
the gushing water courses impede the
progress of his chariot.
Ope of the most significant acts of
Elijah’s life is related in single verse.
‘‘He ran before Abab to the entrance of
Jezreel.”” He had rebuked the king,but now
he throws the full weight of his peronal
and official character on hisside by acting
as his herald. The queen, from her lattice,
saw the chariot coming, and Elijah run-
ning before. Though she knew what tbat
generous and patriotic deed signified, it
failed to soften her heart. Jezebel gave
Elijah his choice of exile or death. It
dawned upon the prophet’s mind that
a race can not be reformed in a day. The
scene on Carmel had been grand, bat it
was an incident merely in the reforma-
tion. The trend of three generations of
idolatry could not be changed simply by
the people vociferating, ‘‘The Lord, he is
God!” Savonarola had to learn the same
lesson twenty-five centuries later in Flor-
ence. It was human for Elijah to be
shocked by the incomplete character of
of his reformation. The cowardly thing
for him to have done, however, would
have been to have remained and died.
He did the courageous thing when he put
himself beyond the reach of the murder-
ous queen.
At length, Elijah stood where Moses had
stood six centuries before, and, like him,
witnessed in the mount of God the ma-
jesty of Jehovah. Nature, in her various
features, forces, and moods, is both nurse
and medicine for the mind distressed. In
the tumult of the storm Elijah regained
his equilibrinm. But these phenomena
were not a sedative merely. They were
an allegory also. Wind, earthquake. and
fire are after all, not the best symbols of
God. Professor Moulton has well said:
‘“The exquisite rendering of the margin re-
minds us that no voice was vet heard.
The servant knew, by long communion,
when his Lord passed by. He waited,
and he learned that force such as seemed
triumphant in apostate Israel was doomed
to fail for it was not of God. And in the
whisper, whose vivid coutrast typified the
seeming impotence of right in the strife
with might, he knew that his God was
near.”” By this allegory Elijah was taught
that his further work was to be gradual.
After that fiery manifestation which made
Carmel the rival of Sinai, there was to be
a silent, continuous, and powerful opera-
tion, the final and aggregate results of
which would be greater and more endur-
ing than those of any moral cataclysm.
THE TEACHER'S LANTERN.
History doesnot yield a finer instance
of patriotism than Elijah ruoning before
Ahab’s chariots. The prophet honored of
God—the reformer of Israel—the exe-
outioner of false prophets—utterly ob-
livious of self, in full view of court and
people, takes his place asthe herald of
his sovereign, and as he runs he cries,
‘‘Prepare ye the way of the king.’
Though he has had occasion to rebuke the
one’s self in defeat; how to make defeat | monarch, on his repentance and reforma-

tiou, Elijah throws the full weight of his
personal and official character on Ahab’s
side.
x * * * *
From this page three thousand years
old there comes a lesson for our own day.
In the spirit of Elijah oce may ran before
the chief magisuate of his nation. Not
truculently, but in the sense of casting the
full weight of his moral influence in =up-
port of the office and officer.
* * * *
It is psychologically true that a nation
can not be reformed in a day. Savonarola
and many others have learned that truth
to their sorrow. Things are ever doing,
pever done. Life is flax, not crystal.
Men are only contributors to the flow—
some good, some evil, some larger, some
smaller. The best one can do is to cast
thie largest possiblesaline influence into
the stream. So did Elijab.
* * * * *
covery that his reformation was thus in-
complete, we should be inclined to accept
the Jewish legend that he really was an
angel and nota man. His despondency
proves his humanity. He was a man of
nature as St. James says. As Shakespeare
once thought himself no poet, and Raphael
thought himself no painter, so now Elijah
thought himeelf no prophet; and in the
bitterness of his grief cried, ‘‘I am not bet-
ter than my fathers.”
* * * * *
It would have been cowardly for Elijah
to have staid and died at the hand of
Jezebel. It is cowardly to putdown the
extingnisher upon the lamp of life to feel
‘‘the last grand rush of darkness on the
| gpirit.
* * * * *
It has been said that only smch a man
as Elijah can measure the colossal de-
spondency of Elijah’s hears.
* * * * *
This incident is a foregleam of the
Messianic way of dealing with minds dis-
tressed. The broom-tree, most welcome
bush of the desert, was the prophet’s
shelter. The two angel-served meals with
the nap intervening, was the preparation
for this ordeal. SoJesus Himself made
men comfortable in their bodies first.
That is the approved current method.
* * * * *
There are times when looking up a
Colorado canon is more religions than go-
ing toa prayer-meeting. Byron under-
stood the sanitary influence of nature when
he said.
“There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society where none intrudes *
By the deep sea and music in its roar.”
About His Wife in Heaven,
Bishop Talbot, according to the New
York Tribune, tells a story of a man he had
met while Bishop of Idaho, who wanted
the bishop’s opinion on the probability of
his wife’s going to Heaven. The bishop
said he told this Missourian that he was
pretty sure his wife would reach there,
and suggested that he be confirmed, too, in
order to take the same path. ‘‘No,”’ said
the hishop’s friend, ‘‘I’'m not good enough:
but if my wife gets there, and the gates
are shut so I can’t get in, she'll raise
h—1.”
—— “Did ne fall in love at first sight?’’
‘Yes. First sight of her bank accouns.’’
It Elijab had stood the shock of dis- |
Physical Exercise Makes Brain Power,
Professor Mosso, of Turin, in a recent
lecture delivered in that country, said that
physical education and gymnastics develop
the brain as well as the muscles. As much
time should be devoted to muscular ex-
ercixe as to intellectnal exercise. Children,
he thinks, should not be taught to read
and wire till they are at least nine years
old. Following up his comparison of
mu~cular with intellectual action, be says
that the nerve cells show, on an average,
a tendency to rest every ten seconds, and
that muscnlar fatigue exhibits phenomena
identical with those of intellectual fatigue.
It is prohable that the various parts of the
brain relieve each other; that only one
pars is active at a time. He states, asa
principle, that the more mobile any ani-
mals extremities are, the more intelligent
the animal is, other things being equal.
——Little 5-year-old Edith was taken to
a dentist, who removed an aching tooth.
That evening at pravers her mother was
surprised to hear her say: ‘‘Forgive us
our debts as we forgive our dentists.”’
PLAIN TALK.—Mr. F. P. Green makes
it as plain as he pan. A great many peo-
ple cannot understand how Vin-te-na can
cure catarrh when located in the head,
where it is first noticed; but whether in
the head, throat or stomach, Vin-te-na
destroys the disease and makes you well.
Catarrh is an inflamed condition of the
mucus surface and is the same wherever
fonnd. Local treatment may give relief—
Vin-te-na brings the cure. Mr, Green gives
his personal guarantee with every bottle of
Vin-te-na, and if you are not satisfied with
the results he will return your money. Get
a bottle to-day.
How She Found the Sabbath.
An old Chinese woman had become a
Christian, and wished to keep the seventh
day holy, but could never remember when
itcame. So after much difficulty she hit
apon her own plan. Six chop-sticks were
laid on a shelf, and each morning when
she arose she took one away. The day
when the shelf was bare was the Sabbath
and work was stopped. On Monday all
six sticks went back again, and so the
fourth commandment was kept.— Ew.
