Amon he despair —Tennyson I mig THE INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON. Third Quarter. Lesson XII. Amos V, 4-15 Sunday, September 18th, 1904. ISRAEL REPROVED., Itis to be regretted that the words minor, or less, have been used to designate the twelve prophets with whose writings the Old Testament closes. These minify- ing terms, certainly not given by inspira- tion, may perhaps in part account for the too general neglect of this portion of the sacred Scriptures. Reference is, of course, not to the contents, but only to the com- parative brevity of the books. From a literary, doctrinal, or spiritual standpoint the writings are to be admired. Of Joel, for example, it has been said: ‘‘His style is clear and elegant;’’ of Hosea, ‘‘He is pathetic, animated, sublime; ‘‘Micah has the poetic beauty of Isaiah and the vigor of Hosea;’ ‘Nahum is surpassed by none in sablimity of deserption—his book consists of a single poem which opens with a solemn description of the attributes and operations of Jehovah.” Malachi’s lan- guage is vigorous, pure and beautiful. His reasoning is concise and cogent. Amos, to whose book our ‘attention is attracted, is the peer of any in the college of prophets. He was of lowly origin. He has been called the ‘‘peasant prophet.’ He lived among the rough hills of Judea, near the edge of the great desert. He was Satraised in the schools. He says of him- sell: “No prophet I, No prophet’s disciple 1.” He calls himself one of the herdsman of Tekoa. Part of bis rustic occupation was | i -of the people. to gather the fruit of the sycamore. To find the market for bis fruit and flocke he must needs go into the kingdom of Israel. "There he observed the degeneracy On his return, and in the solitude of the wilderness, he had oppor- tunity to meditate upon what he had seen. His heart was stiired. He must needs rebuke the people. It was woe to him if he did not. In his own strong language he said, ‘‘The Lord took me as I follow- ed the flock, and the Lord said unto me, Go prophesy untc My people Israel.” It is the surprise of the critic that from such an unlikely source such an elahorated and exalted work should come. Professor Cheyne does not hesitate te compare Amos to Dante, and say that the freshness and appropriateness of his imagery entitles him to as high a place in the history of litera- ture as in that of theistic religion. Carl Friedrich Keil points admiringiy to the rhetorical power of Amos—bis wealth and depth of thought, vivacity and vigor, his bold antithesis, his poetical roll rising in- to actual rhythm. Some one has pictures- quely and appropriately described Amos’s prophecy as a thunder-storm, rolling over all the surrounding kingdoms, touching Judah and finally settling down upon Israel. Some one has called this particular period in the history of the kingdom of Israel its “Indian summer,”’ because of its glory, and also the nearness of the winter of its desolation. The ancient limits of the kingdom and all its splendor lest under former kings were regained under Jeroboam II. Great wealth was suddenly poured into the coffers of the princes and nobles. It was the wealth of conquest, the spoils of war, not the rewards of the peaceful arts of commerce and agriculture. With riches gained in such manner came the temptation, to oppression, and luxury. The poor were oppressed (viii, 4), and idleness, luxury, and extravagance were general (iii, 15)- “You will search in vain the whole range of literature for a more graphic description of a self-indulgent people than Amos gives. They enthrone violence immediately, but cousider the day of reckoning as indefinitely postponed. They recline upon ivory divans. They stretch themselves upon their coushes be- side their banquet-tables, laden with every delicacy. They use for an ignoble purpose the instruments which David invented for the worship of God. Ordinary wine-cups do not suffice ; they drink from capacious bowls. They use the finest of oil in their boudoirs. How could such sensualisty preceive, much less be grieved, for the moral havoc made of their country! ‘“They are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.” Now the prophet speaks their doom. The banquet before which they lounge shall suddenly be swept away before they can partake of it. Are they first in luxury —thoy shall retain their rank—and still be first in captivity. The cup of Israel’s iniquity is full to its brim, so the ILord says by the lipsof his prophet’ “I abhor the excellency of Jacob and hate hie palaces. Therefore will T deliver up the city with all that is therein,”’ THE TEACHER'S LANTERN. Amos is thought to have been the first to reduce his prophecies to writing. In the solitnde of Tekoa he addressed him- self to the task. Here he probably com- posed the ‘‘grand Messianic epilogue.’’ Traces of the original, oral delivery, how- ever,show themselves in spite of the elabor- ate literary finish. Chief among them are the abrupt, short clauses. * * CLO . One of Webster's hiothers once said, Jestingly. *‘They had to send Daniel to school to make him as smart as the rest of us were vaturally.’’ Amos did not need even the school of the prophets. Natnre and humanity were his university. He was a master of arts in both. * * * * * A popular magazine, in a recent irsue. bad a sympesinm on *'If Lincoln had Gone 60 School ?”’ It was suggested thar he might have been less melancholy if he bad opportunities of recreation and diversion in the fields which a liberal education would bave opened to him. But the con- sensus was that there might also have been a dangerous abatement of native force and originality. Amos and Lincoln, how- ever, are the exceptions which prove the rule thas school is the best place for the average boy. * * Twenty-six hundred years bave passed since Amos reduced his sayings to writing. * * * But the principles which underlie his | splendid book are philospohie and funda- meatal. They are universally aud pre- petually applicable. Among them aie these: Oppression and luxury will destroy any people. Righteousness only will ex- alt. * * * * * Amos showed that the overflowing ma- terial wealth of Israel was only the phos- phorescence on decay. Its doom was a scant sixty years away. They thought they stood at the very instant of falling. * * * * The accepted idea of a prophet is too mechanical. We have been accustomed to think of one called to this office as so possessed by the Divine Spirit thas his personal will and judgement are practical- ly sopplanted. 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.”’ So every prophet in and out of his special functicn is a perfectly normal character. No prophet must be taken out of the category of the normal. St. James affirms that the prophet’s feelings and emotions are just such as ours would he under gimilar circumstances. AFTER VACATION.—Just as it is barder to set a ball in motion than to keep it in motion, it is harder to take up any line of work again, after the summer vacation, than to keep on with it. The effects of the strain are seen in the changed looks, diminished appetite and broken sleep. Now is a time when many—olerks, book- keepers, teachers, pupile and others—should take a tonic,and we think the best is Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which acts on the whole sys- tem, builds it up, and wards off sick- ness. } A Boy’s WiLp RIDE FOR LIFE.—~With the family around expecting him to die,and a son riding for life, 18 miles, to get Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, W. H. Brown, of Lees- ville, Ind., endured death’s agonies from asthma; but this wonderful medicine gave instant relief and soon cured him. He writes : ‘‘I now sleepsoundly every night.’ Like marveloas cures of Consumption, Pneumonia, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds and Grip prove its matciless merit for all Throat and Lung troubles.

Nothing can do more for the harmony, | good-will and unity of the community | than the cordial expression of good-will by | the general attendance of the members of all religious denominations and all will be | heartily welcomed by the Grange associa- tion. At this writing the out-look for the en- campment is more encouraging than it has been any year in the past. There will be the largest display of agricultural products ever offered to the public’; some Granges taking entire space for themselves, and the farmers, generally, are offering exhibits iberally so that there is no doubt of the display along this line. Exhibito’rs names will be entered on every article and per- mission be given to take orders for sale. The State College will enlarge its exhibit over former years. Ahout fifty tents have already been en- gaged and new orders are being sent in al- most daily so that the camp will be well fiiled up with tent holders. Parties desir- ing to camp should send in their orders eaily so as to enable the committee to make satisfactory arrangements for all who desire to camp.
