THE INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON.
Fourth Quarter. Lesson IX. Isaiah xxviii, 1-13
November 27th, 1904.
WORLD'S TEMPERANCE LESSON.
Ephraim occupied a fertile territory,
stretching across the heart of Palestine
from the Mediterranean to the Jordan.
In the midst stood Samaria, the capital, on
a commanding eminence. The tropical
luxuriance of the valleys hung about it
like the bacchanalian garland on the brow
of the banqueter. And its exuberance was
as evanescent; for its glorious beauty was
a fading fiower. Destruction was at hand.
The capital, court, and people were en-
slaved to drink. Under its subtle delu-
sion they were in perfect ease. With the
proverbial stupidity of the drunkard, they
felt perfectly safe, trusting in the moun-
tain fastness of Samaria. With sense of
justice blunted by the use of intoxicants,
and their basest passions inflamed, they
oppressed the poor and crushed the needy.
With the insatiable thirst which the use
of alcoholic liquors always begets, they
kept crying, ‘Bring, and let us drink’”’—
the Samaritan equivalent td our modern
bacchanal, ‘‘Here’s a health to you.”
(Amos vi, 1.)
Bunt the judgments of God are abroad.
The irresistible Assyrian, Shalmaneser,
| mighty and strong, is God’s instrument of
wrath, He looks upon Samaria like a
peculiarly tempting morsel; like a fig ripe
in June, so rare and succulent that one
| swallows it as soon as it is in his hand;
| does not even think of laying it aside to
| preserve it or eat it at his leisure. His
coming will be like a tempest of bail, a
destroying storm, a flood of water; figures
peculiarly impressive in tbat latitude,
wherein an hour the dryess water-course
becomes an awful torrent. This prophecy
bad its literal fulfillment 721 B. C., in the
ninth year of Hoshea, king of Israel. The
country was ravaged by the Assyrians
under Shalmaneser, and Israel deported
into the cities of Assyria and Media. (2
Kings xviii, 9-12.)
The prophet now turns from Israel to
Judah. He contrasts the imperishable
crown and diadem, glorious and beautiful,
rewards of piety, on the brow of Judah,
the righteous and faithful residue, with
the fading garland of voluptuous pleasure
on the brow of drunken Epbraim. God
shall help Judah’s judges on the bench
and ber warriors at the gate. This has
been aptly called a Messianic pendant to
the foregoing picture of Samaria’s fall.
But Judah, too, is not free from this de-
grading sin. Even her priests and prophets
are infected with it. And the people
will not endure the prophet’s rebukes.
Listen to: their drunken scoffing: ‘‘Does
Isaiah presume to instruct us? Does he
take us to be just weaned, that he adopts
such a childish way? Here and there, with
no set order, and conning his words over,
as if we were still in our primers.
“Tzav lat-zav, tzav lat-zav
Quav laguv, guv laguv.”’
Ewald says: ‘‘We must conceive the
abrupt, intentionally short, reiterated,
and almost childish words of verse ten, as
spoken in mimicry, with a mocking mo-
tion of the head, and in a childish, stam-
mering tone.”’
The prophet rejoins: ‘‘Ah! if you will
not let me teach you, then the Assyrians
and Babylonians shall, and their foreign
accent will seem more like stammering
and twaddle than my instructions.” If
they bad only hearkened to the prophet’s
voice, they might have found rest from
warlike preparations, and that more
blessed rest which comes from obedience
to the Divine precepts.
But the Lord’s word was offensive to
them from its very simplicity. They
rejected lt: so, like a drunken man, the
nation tottered and stumbled to its ruin.
THE TEACHERS’ LANTERN.
The Prophet Isaiah appears ina new
role. He is par excellence the temperance
reformer of his age. He is the model for
every age. He is not intemperate in his
attack upon intemperance. Yet for moral
earnestness he is not surpassed.
* * * * *
Drunkenness is usually insolent. It
was ribald and abusive toward the
prophet. But this did not deter him. He
warded off the sneer with a terrible de-
nonciation.
Canaan was the bridge between Syria
and Egypt. The world-powers of that
age coveted it. Possession of it wasa
strategic necessity. It could be used
either as a thoroughfare or a buffer. But
the Israelites might have held the country
against all comers. Its mountainous
character was a national defense. Horses
and chariots (the artillery of the ancients)
could not be used there.
* * * * *
But drunkenness was the real foe
both to the northern and southern
kingdoms. It led to their overthrow.
They were ‘overcome of wine’ literally,
wine-smitten. They were hit as with a
bammer, stricken to earth. Israel never
rose again, and Judah a mere shadow of
former grandeur.
mm.
* #* * * *
The luxurious refinement of the king-
dom of Israel and its crimson-clothed
nobles as described by Amos, makes one
think of the palaces and villas of Pompeii
as they have been brought to light by
extensive excavations—‘‘summer and win-
ter houses, ivory palaces, gardens, vine-
yards, fig-orchards, olive-yards, melody
of viols, beds of ivory, fragrant ointments,
and wine by the bowlful”’ is the prophet’s
inventory. This cultivation of mathetic
effects for eye and ear and palate is not in
itself reprehensible. But a halt must be
called when the beneficent Giver is for-
gotten in the greedy enjoyment of the
gift. And the proportion of life must be
maintained. To lose that proportion,
even in perfeetly innocent things, is to be
intemperate. Intemperance of any kind
tends to lower the moral tone. Intem-
perance persisted in ends in total
loss of moral tone. The Man becomes a
Thing. This is in a sense the unforgiv-
able sin. For the human is the temple
of the Divine, and when the temple is
ruined the Divine must make His exit.
* * * * *
In our day, as in Isaiah’s, some priests
and prophets err in vision through drink
or other forms of intemperance. Bus
discrimination must be made between the
genuine and the professional priests and
prophets. There is a spurious officialism
which counts for nothing in the cure of
souls,
* * * * *
There are ninety texts in the Old Testa-
ment which refer to the sin of drunkenness,
and many more in the New Testament.
The Bible is a red lantern swung across
the path of yoath.
* * * * *
Every one is under the highest moral
obligation to cast the full weight of his
inflaence everywhere aud always against
this evil.
Olive O11 to the Rescue.
A tablespoonful of olive oil a day, taken
internally, will help liver trouble and in”
digestion.
It is also healing for throat or stomach
catarrhb.
Serve it frequently in salid dressings,
where if will be both appetizer and medi-
cine. .
For severe internal disorders or emaciated
and run-down condition of the body, rub
the patient every morning for twenty min-
utes with the oil, then with a bath towel;
at night rub the spine for ten minutes, and
in two months you will see a great im-
provement.
Mixed with quinine, then rubbed on the
chest and back, it prevents cold; mixed
with camphor, then applied to the throat,
it cures soreness; mixed with kerosene and
turpentine, then used on the throat and
chest, it relieves the most obstinate cough.
Japanese Love of Parents.
We are told, saya the New York: Press,
that the Chinese and Japanese 1everence
old ave, and are not surpassed even by the
Jews in devotion to parents. In Mecoo
three sous, unable by their united efforts
to maintain their widowed mother, formed
a singular resolution. The Cubo offered a
large reward for the capture of a robber,
and the boys agreed that one of them
shonld feign to be the criminal and allow
himself to be delivered over to justice by
the other two, who would claim the reward
and haod it to their mother. The lot fell
to the youngest, who accordingly was cast
into prison for execution, while the reward
was duly paid to his alleged captors. At
parting the three brothers embraced each
other affectionately, accidentally observing
which the Judge, amazed ordered a detec-
tive to follow the holders of the reward.
The poor mother, when she heard that
her youngest boy was to be executed refus-
ed to touch the reward but said : ‘Go, my
affectionate children, but unnatural broth-
ers, take back the money and restore my
son, if he be alive. If he is dead, think no
more of maintaining me, but provide a
coffin, for I will starve myself to death.’
The detective hastened to the Judge with
an account of what he had just heard, and
by threats forced the prisoner to tell him
the whole truth. A report of the affair was
made to the Cabo :who was so affected by
it that he sent for the three brothers, prais-
ed them for their filial affection and gave
to the youngest a pension of $500 and to
each of his brothers one of $100.
Humans Who Live in Nests.
Travelers who bave returned from the
heart of Africa and the Australian conti-
nent tell wonderful stories of nest-build-
ing people who inhabit the wilds of those
countries.
The bushmen of Australia are perhaps
the lowest order of men known. They are
80 primitive that they do not know enough
to build even the simplest form of hut for
shelter. The nearest they can approach it,
says the Chicago Journal, is to gathera lot
of twigs and grass, and, taking them into a
thicket or jungle, build a nest for a home.
The nest is built large enough for the
family, and if the latter is very numerous
then the nests are of large size. Sometimes
the foilage above will form a natural cov-
ering, but there is never any attempt at
constructing a protection from storms.
