Religion, Minus Morality, A Peril To The People Trumpet Voice Os Amos, First Os The Writing Proprets, Echoes Throughout The Land Today — A Common Man’s Great Message.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS In this timely Lesson we meet the most crlbbed-from writer of ancient 'times, a lonely figure whose message is today being echoed by thousands of preachers, professor*, reformers and sociaj workers. His little book, written about the end of the eighth century R C. is as contemporary as though ft were one of the new volumes on social problems at present pouring from the presses. Amos sounds the word for our times, the great truth of social justice. His was a fresh, original voice. No professional he. When entrenched ecclesiaaticism tried to silence him, he spurned the implication that he was one of the trained and complaisant prophets, who lived by the bounty of the king and the people. “I am not prophet, neither am I of the sons of the prophets; but I am a herdsman, and a dresser of sycomore trees.” Better Than A College Here was an ordinary poor man, a workingmagi, one of the plain people. He had none of the benefit of the schools and he was no parroter of precedents and formulas. His only diploma was the weight of his words. But he had been 'trained in a better school. Lonely days and nigljts -!n the desert had matured his faculties. He had the closest powers of observation which come to the solitary toiler who must depend upon himself. The soft, silent, velvet nights of the wilderness, with their stars of splendor had spoken to him. Life on the heights (Tekoa, his home, on the edge of the Dead Sea depression, six miles below Bethlehem, is 2790 feet above sea level, and more than twice 'tbat distance above the valley into which he daily looked) had given sweep and horizon to his vision. History spoke to him from the neighboring uplands of Moab, of Jerusalem, Mizpah and Hebron, as well as from the vocal marts of the near cities to which he wandered afoot. All of his thinking was of clear, uncomplicated kind which marks the man of Jowly calling. George Adams Smith effectively applies the Amos example to the rest of us: ‘ He was one of those recruits from common life, by whom religion and the state, have at all 'times been reformed. Springing from the laity; and very often from among the working classes, their freedom from dogmas and routine, as well »*»•»•* * The International Sunday School Lesson for July 28 is; “Ahos: Prophet of Social Justice.”—Amos 7:7-17. **»»«*»

as from the compromising interests of wealth, rajik and party, renders them experts in life to a degree that almost no professional priest statesman or Journalist, however, honest or eympathetic, c .n dope forival. In to politics they bring facts, . but into religion they bring vision. "To see the truth and tell it, to be accurate and brave about the moraj facts of our day—to 'this extent the Vision and the Voice are possible for every one of us.” A Workman Who Could Write Our day is seeing many authors and artists, without any formal education, springing to the forefront k of public attention. Amos, first of the writing prophets of Israel, was one such. To the nabobs of his day he was a despised nobody, a mere workingman. poorly clad, covered by an abeyah, or cloak, that smelled of his sheep and bore traces of the ground on which he often slept beneath the stars. He was a sort of "handy-man” in earning his meagre livelihood. Sometimes he tended sheep in the Wildnerness of Tekoa; sometimes he pinched syk comore figs (the tree is not to be confused wKh our sycamore), to , hasten their ripening and fertilization, for they were an important item in the poor people’s diet; , sometimes he travelled afoot to Jerusalem and 'the Bethlehem, selling his wool or seeking a job. We may scarcely the ordinariness of the man Amos. He had no official standing whatever as a religious teacher. It was easy for Amaziah to order such an uncouth figure out of Bethel. This unconventional .feurless f rthrigfrt speaker of the stern and unpalatable truths was not the . first of Israel's prophets; heroic > figures, like Moses, Samuel, Elijah [ and Elisha, had proceeded him. But i he ie the first to leave his meseage in writing. Untike the professionals of his time, he did not depend upon estatic sloberings and ; ravings and transports for his credentials. His utterances could bear . the cold and calculating examination of the written word. No literary style is so effective as plain, straightforward use of common words, which nobody can fail to understand. Many modern writers are too smart; they search the dictionaries for unusual words; ■ they cultivate from more than subi stance. The whole art of writing is to be able to say it clearly and : comprehensibly. Nobody could misi take the meaning of Amos. And his natural adornments of his mess- ' age were the figures that would ' readily occuy to a workingman. and to a dweller amidst the vast spaces of the open air. His was the salty speech that one hears in work shops and country stores. It had ' the heights and the horizons, the ' stars and the seas, of his own ex-

perience. Whsn A Nation Goe* "Soft" Both the northern and sou'ihern kingdoms of the Jews had come upon a period of peace and prosperity The wealthy and the eminent had gone “soft,” Luxury, sensuality and all self-indulgence were their main interests. As has been the case I with their class (n all ages, they felt that because they were rich and safe they would always be so. Their selfishness inevitably found expression in exploitation of the ' poor. In the corruption of business, in bribery, oppression and immor-1 ality. Their desires were the only law they heeded. Engrossed in 'their own carnal pursuits, the leadj ers of the people gave no heed to k the ominous cloud that was gathering to the north and the east, ' i soon to break upon them as the Assyrian invasion. I I't has always been "respectable" to be religious; so these decadent and enervated Jews gave outward allegiance to the observance of worship. But it was all an empty formality. They held, along with countless moderns, tbait perfunctory ob- ;' servance of the ritual and rites of j religion had no real relation to I I character and conduct. Enter The Prophet I Into this relaxed and corrupted , life of the Jews came this disconiCertlng peasant from the southern ' ( mountains, speaking in the name 1 1 of Jehovah —because he had been ’'spoken to by Jehovah —and pro--11 claiming doom upon nations. Dwell*,ing near a cross-roads of his world, Amos had observed, with quiet, discerning eyes, the course of the ' countries that impinged upon Isra- ' el. He understood that Jehovah is | a great God, who holds niftions as . well as individuals to account. He ' dared affirm that political and nat- - 11 ural events have a spiritual signi- ’ i ficance. In what was happening a!l bout him, he saw the judgments of '' an offended Deity. And he was not ‘Ion? of the hireling iprophets of t'he ‘'existing order, who cry "Peace! i Peace! when there is no peace.’’ As his message developed. Amos put bis finger upon the rotten spots ’ in 'the life of the people. To him. as i to his Lord, personal unrighteous- * I ness as an accompaniment of pro- ' ■ fessionaJ piety, was a stinking sin. ' So, in burning words that have fir- ‘ I ed many a prophet since, he cried ' o(ut against the sins of the rich rtnd the sufferings of the poor. He ' | stripped bare the odious evils of 1 his complacent time. In one of his 'I fine figures there is compressed r the message which should today ' ring in every legislative hall, every educational gathering, every ; newspaper ajid every church: “Let ' justice roll down as waters, and 1 righteousness as an over-flowing 1 stream.” i■ ■ - SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS 1 The best preparation for the fu--1 ture is the present well seen to.— George MacDonald. i» • • Patriotism is God’s way of train--1 ing individuals for common action 1 for unselfish ends— Wm.

BOOK NOTES By Ruth Winnes

“BEAUTY’S DAUGHTER” By Kathleen Norrl* Can a wife who is a capable housekeeper, a pleasant companion, a good mother held her husband when lovely women attract his attention? Vicky Herrendeen thoughts she could. Her own beautiful mother’s affairs had disgusted her with emotional love. So when she consented to marry Dr. Quentin Hardisty, it was on a matter-of-fact basis: she would be his houskeeper, the mother of tfis children, but she would have none of love's more passionate side. And Vicky believed her way of marriage was the right way until the day, seven I years later, when exquisite Serena Morrison set out to win Quentin for herself. In Beauty’s Daughter, Mrs. Norris has treated a universal problem with all the rare wisdom and understanding that are hers. 4 *STAR SIG N ALSI by OC T A V I N E For persons who believe that hu. man destiny Is guided y the planets the daily horoscope Is outlined by a noted astrologer.
