LESSON FOR NOV. 23
WORLD'S TEMPERANCE LESSON.
Isa., xxvlli:l-12.
Societal y of Amcilcan Society of Ile
llglous Kducation.
INTnODffTION.-After thu death of
Solomon, thiongh the follv of bis son (t
Kings xll.lL'-'), the Jewish people were
divided into two parts. Two tilbes ad
hered to liehoboam and sought to per
petuate llic nionaichy of David, retaining
Jentsilom in their capital. The ten
noithein tubes rebelled and sot up a gov
ernment nt Samaria, with the title ot Is
rael. God claimed both nations as his
people and eat to them prophets who
condemned their sins and called to light
pousness. Notwithstanding all fhese gia
clotis mhiMiies, the two kingdoms rapid
ly declined in all those irtues that make
for stability (Prov. xl :2I), falling ulti
mately under the powci of neighboring
nations. The history is highly iustructhe
for all after nations. Today we shall
study a small section In which the faith
ful seivico of Isaiah Is piesented. Ills
words aie pieiJIetlvp and didactic he
taught because he foieo.iw.
WARNING. (Verses 1 and 2.) nphraim
was IK leading tilbe of the northern
kingdom, and as such most Influential In
all its affalts. Sam.ula, the most beau
tiful city In L'phiaim, is called the
"frown of Pride." Sltunted In tho mo-t
ft i tile allev, called beio "the fat valley,"
It deihed thence those products which
inlnlstcied to comfort and to wealth. Its
Inhabitants abused Its pii lieges, enter
ed Into iumiiIous living, and became nn
toilous diunknrds. It the height of its
giiuv, oi.r piophet iales a w.unhig volee.
This beauty, like a fading flower, should
) is awav, under the iudgment of the
Almlghlv, who had a mighty nation to
be n-ed in ehastl-ement. Like a tempest
nl hall, like a destioyb'g stoini, like a
flood of wnteis (Kzek.. n11I:21, nil Invad
ing ariav would come upon Samaria. Re
ference 1 hole madf to the Assyrians,
who, a lew cais later, enptmeii the city
aim eat lied away the people captives. Tn
view of these calamities, Tsaiah cilef out,
"Woo to the drunkard of nphraim."
Di:STniTCTION.(Verspi3anil l.i There
N -i sinuige Inliituatioii by whleli tho
ungoillv hope to escape tho evil eonsp
ciuenees nf their own deeds. They seem
ta be Incllu'eient to the nperatlon of the
unerring law of rotiibution, partly, be
cause the ilulileous sentence ! delaved
fKccl,, ill.'.; It was on this account that
the lsraelitlsh people- gave so little heed
to the warnings .and admonitions of holy
men. Isnlnh, theiefote. went beyond the
mere pirdletlcm of an Invading aimv, and
declaieil the total destruction of the na
tion. Iln employed highly ImpressUe
woids for that purpose. The city would
be "Hodden under feet. Ignobly deso
ci.itcd and demolished. It would be "llko
summer fiult." which, ripened, Is eagerly
helzcct and quickly devalued. Thus Sa
m.ula, now boasting In Its wealth and
living In animal giatltlcailon, will be
tieated with contempt, left desolate, un
ablo to recover Itself from the uilns.
ADVANl'nMLNT. (Verses fi and fi)
The piophet iuit turns his attention to
tho kingdom of Judnh, tho two southern
tilbes, whom he calls "the residue of tho
people." lie promises them God's favors
and dechnes they should be under his
guidance and protection, when the beauty
of Kphralm should bo trodden down nnd
eaten up. In that day when Israel Is
lnnded by the Assyilans the men of the
south might think themselves In dnnger.
Hut not so. It was not tho puiposo of tho
Almighty to ovei throw both kingdoms nt
once ho intended to keep n lenmnut,
Upon them be will put due honor anil
distinction. For llipm ho will appear In
de.fenso and they shall dwell In security.
This promise was made because at that
time good king llpzcklah uded in Judah,
Tho ilcsti notion of tho northern and tho
prespivntlon of the southern was but an
expression of God's hntied of sin nnd
his love of holiness ni ippieented in the
life of tho ruleis of tlio two kingdoms.
Pi:srniPTION.(Veises 7 nnd S,) The
promise matin to Judah might lime led
somo to suppose that the southern king,
dom was altogether acceptable to God,
That was not the i-ase, Though the gen
eral tono was superior to that of Inael,
seeming the nietey of God, there were
yet many vices, These Isulali expose,
He complains nf tho corruptions found
there. The people nf Judah havo also
erred through wine. Theie, uie drunkards
at Jerusalem, as theie were In Hamniln.
Voluptlous living In each capital const),
tilted a seilous offense iigulust the nit?
tlon nnd against God. liven the priests
who nilnlsteicd nt the holy ultuis und
the prophets who were Die teachers of
religion weiu out of the way thiotiKh
strong di Ink "they err In vision, ami
they stumble In Judgment." This horrid
custom of di Inlilng Intoxicants had de
based many of those whose business It
was to lead tho people In the light way.
'I lie di Inking habits had made the tables
loathsome. Isaiah s veiy bold in giving
these descriptions of practices among hU
own people.
MOCKURY.-tVerses 0 and 10.) Refer
ence is nc:;t made to the efforts to re
claim the people from their evil ways nnd
the results of these effort)'. This was by
tho ono method of teaching. Good and
faithful men had Instructed In the law.
fjnd would hdvo thoughtful und volun
tary followers of that which to good. He
would deposit tho truths of religion In
tho mind, gain the nffcotlons nnd bring
the will into conformity. But this
method hud failed. Tho people continued
as they were their mistakes wero not
reclined, their hearts wero not renewed,
their lives wero not reformed. They de
spised their tcucheis, nnd even mocked
them. Remembering the law concerning
tho Instruction of children (Dent., Vli7),
lliey" required with contempt If tho pub
lic teachers of religion proposed to trpal
men as little onei nnd give them lino
upon Hue, precept upon precept. The ori
ginal of the ninth verse Indicates that It
was common to tnke up the very lan
guage nf a prophet nnd repeat It after
hltn with ridicule.
OI!STINACY.-(Verses 11 and 12.) The
nation would not hcniken. It obstinately
refused tho message of Hie men sent
from God, prefeirlng tho Indulgences of
the carnal life to the ways of holiness.
Tho seeuilty offeiecl against eiiomlo. tho
vuy nf peace and Joy portrayed by innny
Inspired men. was utterly dlsiegnrded.
fjpiisunl delights wpro eagerly sought ns
alone desltable. And so, as tho mouth
piece of God, the prophet declines that
another kind or Instruction should bo
Impaited. It would be stammering lips
und In another tongue. -Ho lefers to tho
lessons which should bo glen by foi
elgnors whoso binguuge would not bo
understood. When the nation wns car
ried Into captivity under the adversities
and afflictions to be incted out to them,
lesons would be leained to which thus
far deaf cms hud been turned. In tho
school of oppiPslon they would lecelvp
whnt tliev might hne acquired In their
own hind wisdom to live lightly and to
solve and honor God.
PltlVILKGn.fVcrsp VI.) The long-suf-feilng
God continues his giaclou.s efforts
for men, even though the'v obstinately
tin n away from hhn. Howe. or llttlo tho
teaching Is legnided, It continues to bo
offered, "pteccpt upon precept," repeti
tions of Divine truths, day after day and
vear after year this Is the pihllcge of
all men. whether they will hear or for
bear. They who go to ruin can never ac
cuse God of neglect. The path of life l
made very pUiln, ns thnt no ono need bo
ignorant of It, and entreaties to enter It
n ro so cordial and constant that thPle Is
always a stiong motive that ought to be
operative. Rut what makes tho case ex
ceedingly Interesting thov who sin under
such clicumstnnceii do so against gtcnt
light and merit all the moio tho con
demnation meted out to them. It wns so
with Isiael. It Is so with all men In all
blstoiy, Pi l lieges create obligations,
nnd these neglected measnie tho punish
ment that Is due.
rONCLTTSION. This passage may bo
propel ly used, as was Intended bv tho In
ternational committee, in the Interest of
tenipeiunce, In either or both of two
wnvs. It may be shown that tho drink
habit had led to natlonul (legem acy,
causing men to reject the tiutb and ex
posing them to all the peills of a foreign
war. Or, it mnv be shown that tho drink
habit Is only ono of the pi oofs of sen
suality, contracted aa a people decline
from God, hastening afterward to decay
and desti notion, a mark in the down
ward movement from lighteousness to
sin. In the first case, it becomes tho
cause of Innumerable misfortunes, and In
the other. It is Hie consequence of a
long train of spiritual Ii regularities nnd
defect. Rut In cither way ot handling
the subject, the cry of Isaiah. "Woe to
tho drunkaid," ought to be heeded by
men everywhere. "Stiong drink is rag
ing, and whoso is deceived thereby is not
wise."
