Third Quarter. Lesson XI. 2 Kings ii, 1-11 Sunday, September 11th, 1904. ELIJAH TAKEN UP INTO HEAVEN. To the few isolated events of Elijah’s surpass them all, even in their surprising scenic effects. He who had set the Lord’s house in order with such a masterfal hand found it a comparatively small mat- ter to put his own in readiness. He was intent upon conserving the reform which he had inaugurated. This could be best done by confirming the faith of the young men preparing for the prophetic office. They were the hope of national godliness. So Elijah undertakes a last visitation of the prophet-communities at Bethel, Gilgal and Jericho. With heroic purpose he sought to rivet these sons of the prophets to the law and to the testimony. There is something touching in the firm adbesion of Elisha to Elijah in this closing scene. It reminds us of Rath’s ‘‘Entreat me not to leave thee.” If, as has been suggested, Elijah was putting his successor to a final test, his tenacity must have very reassur- ing. He saw that he was ‘‘steadfastly minded.” of which shall be enhanced by the circum- stances under which it is bestowed, so Elijah said, ‘‘Ask what I shall do for thee before I be taken away from thee.” Elisha’s wise choice reminds us of Solo: mon’s. He gives the prophet another as- suring token of his fitness to be hig sue- cessor. He asks for what pertains solely career one was to be added which should | It is an instinctive impulse on the part of the dying to bestow a last gift, the value portion of Elijah’s spirit. Not twice as much as Elijah had. That wounld be in- congruous. Not an evangelical spirit which would be twice as good as the legal spirit. Subsequent events do not sustain such a contrast. Bat it is as if Elisha had said, ‘If you wish to bestow a parting gift, which shall serve at once asa me- me in my career, recognize me as your eldest son by giving me the double pro- tion which falls to the eldest by law ; give me for exampie, twice as much of the pro- phetic spirit as comes on any one of the fitty of your younger sons on yonder hill- top.” Elijah answered: . ‘You have done bard in asking, for the matter is not one of ex- plicit revelation to me. However, we will put it into the Lord’s hands in this way : I do not know how I am to quit the earth, whether visibly or invisibly. If in the former manner, so that you see me when I am taken from you, take it as the Lord’s own token that your request is granted, and that a double portion of prophetic spirit is vours.”’ Any attempt at minute description of Elijab’s translation leads to exaggerated rhetoric. Human language ean not depict the scene. Tt was a theopbhany. The Tord’s minister on this occasion, as on so many others, was a flaming fire—‘‘a chariot of fire and horses of fire and parted them both asunder : and Elijah went up bya whirlwind into heaven.’ “My father ! my father! (thou) chariot of Israel and (thou) horseman thereof !” —an epitaph without a tombstone! Com- mitted to the immortal custody of the sacred Scriptures, it has survived many a panegyric ‘sculptured in the rock or grav- en with an iron stylus on a sheet of lead forever.”” The first exclamation is expres- sive of that tender relationship subsisting between the prophet in the air and the prophet on the earth. It isas if Elisha bad said : ‘‘Ah! I seethee! Thou art then my father and I the eldest of thy prophetic sons. By the Lord’s own token mineis now the double portion of the eldest son.” Oriental picturesqueness what the Tishbite was to Israel. The chariot was the strong- est arm of Eastern military service, corre- sponding to our. modern artillery. It was usually built of oak, covered sometimes with metal. As many as three poles and as many spans of horses were hitched abreast ; from the hubs hooked blades ex- tended. Imagine such a deadly engine, driven at full speed into the ranks of an enemy! No wonder in ancient times “some trusted in chariots.” Such a chariot was Elijah. With irresis- tible power he had hurled himself into the ranks of idolatry. The merciless blades of his wheels dyed the Kishon wiih the blood . of four hundred hestial priests. The track of this awful chariot left no trace of two blasphemous captaius and their fifties. Yet, more throngh that immaterial some- thing called the ‘‘spirit of the times,’’ he rode without fear or favor. The timorous | guards at the doors of the ivory palace at Jezreel lowered their weapons as this chariot of wrath swept into the very throne-room to announce to guilty royalty God's righteous judgements. On Carmel’s | top. in Naboth’s vineyard, in Ahaziah’s | sick<chamber—every where and always— { Elijah was the dread, implacable Nemesis | of idolatry. THE TEACHER'S LANTERN. “Footfalls on the Boundary of Another | World” was the winning title of a book which appeared thirty years: ago. It to hie sucess in his holy aalling—a double The remainder af the epitaph tells with | morial of your affection and be helpful to| proved a somewhat deft collection of popu- laly known conditions. The Bible hetter deserves that title. Among the many incidents it contains, perhaps there is not one which leads us closer to the boundary of another world than the translation of Elijah. It bas been described as the most glorious, significant, joyful event which the world before the time of Christ had seen. * * -* * : How often the dying, out of considera- tion for their loving watchers, entreat them to leave them a while for the sake of rest, and as often do the watchers respond in terms like Elisha’s strong salvation, ‘As the Lord liveth and as thy sonl liveth I will nos leave thee,”” and to the very boundary of another world the living go with the dving. * * * * The human heart craves certain evidence of a world beyond this fitful existence. It is quick to detect the analogies of nature. Bat these are insufficient on the death of friends or one’s own approachitg dissolu- tion. Cicero reasoned well of immortality, but his reasoning was powerless to assuage his grief when his loved daughter Tullia died. ‘‘Mournfal marbles!” is the natur- al exclamation after one has walked the length of the gallery of inscription in the Vatican, looking only at the side upon which the Roman sepulchral inscriptions are set up. It isan authentic reproduc- tion of the blank despair of the human mind without revelation. * * * * * The ascension of Elijah breaks in upon this natural, impenetrable gloom, superin- duced by the greatest mystery and sorrow of human experience—a vivid, irresistible argument for the existence of another world. * * * * * * This ascension accentuates the value of the human body. The modern tendency to depreciate the physical frame is germane to that figment of ancient philosophy which asserts that evil inheres in material sub- stances. The inference is that the spirit’s separation from the body is emancipation. The tendency now is to assert the immedi- ate reclothing of the spirit with a body suited to its new sphere. * * * * * Over against the morbid deprecation of the human body which marked an earlier theology, there is a late and healthful tendency to assert the wholeness of man, and to appreciate the body as an integral part of that wholeness. The reciprocal in- fluence of mind upon body and body upon mind is better understood. Physical cul- ture, Delsarte, calisthenics, dietetics, sani- ty in ventilation, sleep, and recreation. The tahooing disease and kindred matters as subjects of conversation, the refusal to morbidly consider symptoms and petty ail- ments—all this tends to the reductions of disease and the promotion of longevity and happiness. The Bible, when it pictures Moses, Elijah and Jesus entering heaven in their bodies gives us the apotheosis of the human body. : Use for a Blackboard. On the wall of our kitchen, says a house keeper, is a small blackboard. As chil- dren we used to think it great fun to play there while mother was at work, and later we grew to appreciate the value of the lit- tle corner chalked off and reserved for orders for the ‘‘butcher and baker and candlestick maker.”’ It was so much more convenient than the easily mislaid pevcil and paper. The Rest Cure. ; Fretfulness is the certain indication of the need of rest. It is the cry of the nerves for repose. Doctors have recognized the need by establishing rest cures where one may gain from silence aud repose the strength which can be gained in no other way. Life to-day is strenuous even for those who most crave peace. We live in an atmospiere of noise and bustle and it leaves its impress upon our minds and bod- jeseven when we are unconscious of is. The strain upon us is never ending, and men, women and children show the tension in irritable speech and gesture. Rest sani- tariums, with their attendant expenses,are out of the question for many of us who have duties at home and work that must be done, bas it is possible for each of us to have our own rest cure. ‘There is no home go poor that within is is no nook where one may go for an hour and drop the cares that are ‘“‘as heavy as the weight of dreams pressing on us everywhere.”’ The greater the rush the greater the need of the resting |’ time, and the resulting vigor with which one will attack the tasks which were drop- ped for a time. In the so-called idle minutes one pulls one’s self together, and can start again al most as fresh as if the day were just begin- ning. Woman's way of resting, by tarn- ing from one task to another, from baking to darning stockings or to doing faney work, is no rest at all. Every thought, every motion, however trifling, uses up a. certain amount of force. Change of work simply taxes another set of nerves and muscles, whereas rest allows all nerves and muscles to relax, thereby gaining tone. The rest cure should be part of the system of living. For the woman who is trying to hold back her fleeting youth there is no such aid in this effort as rest. Rest is wis- dom; it strengthens the worker and it sweetens life.
