ELISHA SUCCEEDS ELIJAH.
There is a moral grandeur in the close
of Elijah’s career, which can not fail of
recognition.
ting. Thecoming event casts no shadow,
but a ray of glory before, which even the
sons of the prophets could recognize. The
prophet made a stately promenade from
Gilgal to Bethel, from Bethel to Jericho,
to the point beyond Jordan, whe.e he was
to make connections with the chariot of
fire. Perhaps Elijah entertained some
misgiving as to the legitimacy of Elisha’s
sucoessorship. If so, it arose from the op-
posite temperament and method of the
latter. It is eo hard for us to learn that
God may have other ways than the ove in
which we may have been called to work.
But Elisha proves the might and persever-
ance of his gentleness, in his thrice-repeat-
ed asseveration, ‘‘I will not leave Thee.’’
successorship settled,
Elijah, who to the worldly view had noth-
ing but his mantle to bequeath, asked
his companion to designate what portion
of his estate be would select. Eiisha
again gives new evidence that he is in the
line hy the choice he makes. It is that he
may have an elder son’s portion of the
Spirit which moved Elijah. Not that he
may resemble his spiritual father in per-
sonal appearance, temperament, or deed,
hut that the same Spirit that operated in
Elijah may work in him also, and twice
as powerfully as in any other son of the
prophets. The thing asked was ‘‘hard,”’
The end is unique and fit-
because it was beyond the prophet’s
jurisdiction. He could only say thas if,
in the hour and article of his translation,
now so imminent, Elisha could with eye of
seer penetrate to and behold his entrance.
to the spins world, then he would be of
such character as to receive the same Spirit
that had illuminated Elijah himself.
Nostudied phrase could have been so
appropriate as Elisha’s unpremeditated
ascription to the ascending prophet. The
chariot with its horsemen was the moss
formidable pars of an Oriental army, cor-
responding to artillery in modern times,
The very weight of the machine, its wheels
armed with hooked blades, the archer
standing within it like a tower of brass,
the horses driven four or six abreast. Noth-
ing could stand before such a terrible en-
gine. So when an army los: a chariot, it
was a real calamity. It was irreparable,
and the force was correspondingly weak-
ened. That is the meaning of Eiisha's
ery as he stands in the swelling of Jordan,
“My father! chariot and horseman of
Israel!” Itsignified that he was greater
than any chariot which even heaven itself
could afford him, and, in addition, thas
be was both chariot and charioteer, the
pation’s strongest defense. Elisha him-
self had no such exit from the world as
Elijah. It was in his quiet home in
Samaria that Elisha fell sick of his sickness
whereof he died, as the account quaintly
says. Jordan only parted at the begin-
ning of his career to let him come back to
his native land and toil for God and his
fellows. There was no miraculous divis-
sion of the river, no chariot, or whirlwind.
His death was natural and bis burial ac-
cording to the custom of the country.
Bus in spite of this contrast, it is worthy
of note that his epitaph is identical with
that of the Tisbbhite. When Joash, the
king of Israel, came down to visit the dy-
ing prophet in the touching language of
the narrative, he wept over his face, and
cried, ‘‘O, my father, my father, thon
chariot of Israel and horseman thereof!”
So this prophet of benignity was the strong-
est armament of Israel. His gentleness
made his nation great. For sixty-five
years this holy man of God continually
passed by, mainly on his errands of mercy
aod healing, and to those sacred services
which he conducted on Sabbaths and new
moons, and to his professor’s chair in the
various schools of the prophets, which he
had founded. His career of henediction
was just as efficacious for Israel as Elijah’s
career of malediction. Both were woven
into the plan of Providence, and were as
indispensable as wrap or woof. So there
are yes diversities of gifts, but the same
spirit, differences of administration, but
the same Lord, and there are diversities of
operation, hut it is the same God.
However, the chronological order in
which these dissimilar prophets appeared
must be remembered. Elijah, the iron
flail of Jehovab, came firsts and beat down
a path through the foul idolism of Israel
along which Elisha, the almoner of God’s
mercy could walk. It has been so in the
Church from the beginning. Controver-
sialists and reformers have opened a way
for the patient toilers of the kingdom to
follow. The one class is ar indispensable
as the other,
THE TEACHER’S LANTERN.
Two pictorial incidents are recorded on
the threshold of Elisha’s propbetical ca-
reer. Whether they are idealized or liter-
al is of comparatively small moment.
They at cass symbolized, the one the be-
ginning the other the effect of his minis-
try. The opening of the river by the
stroke of Elijah’s mantle in the hands of
Elisha proved the legitimacy of the latter's
sacces~orship, and indicated that he was
to have his way through the stream of
events then transpiring. No wonder it
was said, ‘The Spirit of Elijah doth rest
upon Elisha.”” He was at once saluted as
the translated prophet,
* * * *
The sweetening of the spring as Jericho
indicates the effect of Elisha’s ministry.
He was to heal hi» nation and his times.
His was to be a saline and quieting iuflu-
ence in the bitter and turbulent stream of
individual and collective life. The wom-
en of Shunem spoke of him as the ‘‘holy
man of God, which passeth by us continu-
ally.”” For sixty vears he continued faith-
fully to discharge the duties of his high
office.
* * * * *
Elijah was the ‘‘chariotry’’ of Israel.
Good men in high office are worth more
than a park of artillery. Good men in or
out of office are the real standing army of
the nation.
* * * * *
Elijah wasas different from Elisha as
Mount Sinai from she Mount of Beatitudes.
Eight out of nive of Elisha’s reputed mira-
cles are heneficent. The exception proves
the rule,
* * *
The same Spirit may operate through
men of unlike temperament, without de-
stroyirg their individual dissimilarity. It
is the ~awe steam that operates the dif-
ferent machines in the factory. That fact,
bowever, does not make a lathe a saw, or
vice versa. Each does its oan work. So
of men. :
* * * * *
The young men of Bethel failed to ap-
prebend this truth. They thought Elisha
uo prophet, because he did not look and
act like Elijah; because, in fact, he wore
his hair short. Paul asserts that while
there are diversities, the Spirit may be the
same.
* *
* #* * &*
Education was one of the silent but
mighty forces in the reformation of Israel
! pow in progress. There were several well-
| attended theological semiparies in exis-
| tence.
i
i * * * * *
{ Itis welleaid that Elijab’s last duty
, (the dividing of Jordan) was a test of his
' gpiritual strength. He was to build for
| himself, bv an act of faith, the path to
; his glorious end, and so impress indelibly
i upon the hearts of his followers that no
other way than faith in God’s promises
| leads to the inheritance of light.
* *
Now follows a loose coliection of acts
covering twelve chapters. They are the
credentials of Elisha’s prophetical calling.
Some tradition of them was probably pre-
served in the schools of the prophets later
committed to writing, and finally incor-
porated in the Book of Kings. They are
evidently fragmentary, unchrounological,
and pieced.
* * * * *
‘Never to change’’—that is the conceit
of a little mind. Elisha said, ‘‘No,” to
his donbting scholais when they insisted
that the search should be made for the
hody of Elijab. But he put himself aside,
‘“Yes,”” when he realized that if the con-
cession was not made to their weakness
they wonld probably always barbor a
doubt of the translation of Elijah. Mathe-
son says well, ‘“That saying ‘Yes’ after
having saving said ‘No’ at first, is one of
the finest things.”’ :
* * * * *
There is an Eastern story of a mythical
fountain, each drop of which, cass upon
the ground, caused a new fountain to spring
up. Elisha was such a fountain. Each
word, each deed of his, like the fabled
drops, caused new fountains to spring by
the wayside of his long career.
Lingerie of Paper.
Mrs. John J. Carter, of London, arrived
at St. Louis a few days ago for the pur-
pose of secaring a location to exhibit a new
invention for which she is responsible in
the way of paper underclothing for women.
It the lady is successful in introducing
this innovation the sewing machine will be
put out of business to a very large extent
and the laundress will have to go. One
article to be placed on show is a night robe,
seemingly of soft white china silk, edged
with filmy lace and ‘run through’ with
ribbons of baby blue. It is dainty enough
for the finest baby in the land and looks
as if it costa small fortune. Itis worth at
retail market price just 15 cents. Other
underwear juss as delicate bus less elaborate
was marked from five cents up. All were
made from exquisitely fine paper, and
woven instead of sewed.
Mrs. Carter thinks that when her cloth-
ing is properly advertised women will pre-
fer it to the badly washed cotton and
cambric that now form the average ward-
robe. The garments are so cheap that it
will pay women to huy them, and they are
so beautiful that it will be a pleasure to
wear nothing else. She is also carrying to
the fair samples of beautifully-tinted,fleecy
stuffs thas look like eiderdown, which will
make warm wrappers and baby blankets,
and about five cents a yard and last as
long as they can be kept fresh---which is
all that can be said of woolens of the same
color.
