THE INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON.
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.

| World” was the winning title of a book
which appeared thirty years: ago. It

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.
