Parish Registers. The origin of parish registers dates back to 1538, when Cromwell, Henry VlH'a general, Issued an Injunction to the clergy to keep a record ot births, marriages and deaths. And the explanation of the gaps In ancient parish registers lies In the fact that during William Ill s war with France they were used to assist on the collec tion of a tax on births and marriages, which was frustrated by the parish clerks, for, as one of them naively notes In his register: "No entries were made tor some years to avoid tho U ." ELIJAH TAKEN UP INTO HEAVEN. LESSON TKXT-II King 2:l-i;a. GOI.DKN TEXT In thy presence ! fullness of Joy; at lliy right hand then are plirusures forever more. I's. 10:1L This chapter Is In type the Chris tian's chapter. There are two chief divisions: (1) Translation vv. 1-12; , (2) reception and use of power vv. 12 25. Tho event occurred probably 89'J H. C. This is a wonderful lesson for youth as It emphasizes that the way to heaven is the way to the best of life. I. Ellsha's Testing, vv. 1-8. Since Carmel, Elijah had largely been work ing according to the "still small voice." Ho hud revived the schools of Samuel, but now In soma way notice was sent from God that the time of his departure was at hand. How Kit sha learned this fact the record does not suggest, but he had had a great object lesson In Klljah's faithful, stcp-by-step obedience to Jehovah's word and doubtless was listening keenly for Klljah's words and for the voice of Jehovah. This explains Klisha'a tenacity. Gilgal (v. 1) means "wheel" our reproacli rolled away, and Is a picture of our salvation (I. Peter 6:7; Ps. 55:22). Elijah had already learned the lesson of being supplanted by a younger man and so ho gracefully al lows Elisha to follow him. "Bethel" the house of God, was a good place to tarry but not for Elisha at this time. Now (v. S) fifty "sons" pupils of the prophet seek to dissuade Elisha. Knowing something was about to happen, they "stood to view afar off." but were not willing to draw nigh, to follow like Elisha. They thereby failed to reap a rich reward (John 12:26). Jericho (v. 4) means "fra grance." It Is the place of tempta tion (I. Cor. 10:13). This was 14 miles farther and contained a settle ment of prophets. Again Elijah and Elisha passsed on, the one to glory, the other to the fullness of the Holy Spirit. At Jericho (v. 6) the "sons of the prophet" evidenced greater In terest than those at Bethel, but In reply to their challenge Elisha com manded silence. The last difficulty to confront them was Jordan (death), but they do not hesitate, for God had provided even for that contingency. Neither are we to hesitate but wil lingly "die unto self." Here the aged prophet exercised his supernatural power and they "went over on dry ground" (t. 8). Though this Journey seems to have been- revealed only stago by stage, yet it was direct to the final goal, and at each stage, though they saw not the end. they knew where to go next. This loyalty of Elisha to Elijah Is a great lesson for us to follow lu our service of Christ our privilege of loyalty to his cause and the blessing which will re sult thereby. II. Elijah's Translation, vv. 9-1 2a. Even as In the first section we see In type the plan of salvation so in this section we are taught the resultant facts and the experiments which come to us when the blessing Is received. Elisha Is now oncouraged to "ask." yet we have a like promise from a greater than Elijah which we too often neglect (John 14:13. 15:17). Elijah was such a mighty man of prayer (James 5:17, 18) that he was on intl mate terms with God and could there fore make such an offer to Elisha (see Acts 8:15. 17). Notice that the "fifty sons of the prophets" who "stood afar oft" were not on the right side of the river to receive a like promise or en ter Into the same fellowship. In a senso this was Ellsha's final test What he would ask would prove what he was fitted for. Elisha had been sufficiently tested so that It was per fectly safe to grant him his requests. Christ is likewise safe in granting requests to all who "abide In him" and In whom his "word abides" (John 15:7). What he asked was not twice that possessed by Elijah but rather the portion belonging to the eldest son (Deut. 21:11, the one who was to be successor and head of the house hold. Elisha asked for fitness for the work rather than position In the work. Elijah reminds him that the request made was a "hard thing," for ot all hard things to Impart to another the hardest is to transfer spiritual gifts. Again Elijah may not have known the plan of God that a man so unlike him self was to take tho place of leader ship. Elijah said, however, "If thou see me when I am taken from thee," if God gives you spiritual vision to use and to understand, then he will accept you as my successor. There must bo persistence to the end and spiritual vision. "As they still went on" Elijah went up, not In a chariot but attended by chariots and by a "whirlwind Into heaven." (See alsi Ezek. 1:4; II Kings 6:17). Elijah, the man of tempestuous fire and sword, who In his hour of weakness prayed to die, Is swept out of sight amid a display of God's power in and through nature. Note the simplicity of the record one verso as though such power were a simple and a common thing for Je hovah. The translation ot Jesus was quite different and properly so (Acts 1:9; Luke 24:51). "And he saw It." Ellsha's eyes were open and he saw his departing chief, therefore he bo came his successor according to the promise. "As a visible proof of his new ap pointment Elijah lot his well-knftwn mantle fall, as he ascended, and Eli sha took it and Is recognized as Ell 1ah's successor. What Is heaven? Read the last chap ters ot Revelation. Do we live after death? Elijah and Moses on the Mount of Transfigura tion, and the resurrected Christ prove that death Is but the transference to mother field of activity.
