— By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Over the radio and in print one nowaday, hear, with increasing frequency this note: "The solution of all problem, rest, finally in the character of the individual." Last (night a United State, Senator, whom I heard over air in our log cabin in the Canad i a 11 woods, wound up hi, dissertation upon the economic crisis yith this thought. President Roosevelt has recently spoken to the game effect. Those preacher, who had become sheep instead of shepherds, and were running in flocks after mags panaceas are finding again their voice and real message. No scheme, political, social or economic, will make things right until men and women, one by one. are right. Our basic ailment is in the character of individuals. We shall never have a good world until we have good men and women. Selfish, greedy, cowardly, idle, pleasure-loving people will wreck the most Utopian plan. Every ship that has ever set sail tor the port of a perfect society has been wrecked on the rocks of human nature. That i, why some of us, who give our days and nights to a study of this unhappy world, are convinced, with the encouragement of much collateral evidence, that mankind is being driven to the supreme remedy, which is personal religion. The Bible's old fashioned teachings of personal righteousness are bound to become the vogue. A realization of God. whose will for mankind is clear, will accomplish what reformers have failed to effect. When every man woman and child, each in his own place, strives to live according to the perfect Divine Law,' we shall have peace and prosperity and universal happiness. And not before. Old Voices For New Times There is nothing new or sensational in this simple truth. It is as old-fashioned as sunlight. In all its rugged and inexorable simplicity it was (troclalmed, thousands of years ago, by the Old Testament prophets. When their message was disregarded, their nation fell tipon disaster and dissolution. One dares to say that pretentious modern Zionism with all its wealth and cleverness and sophisticatier will come to a like end until it ac- «»«•••» ♦ The International Sunday School Lesson for October 6 it: "Isaiah Portrays The Suffering Servant.” —Isaiah 52: 13—53:12. »»»»•»«

' ' ' cepts the Jews' real national heritage, which is a body of clear truth, i the inspired revelation of God. Those old prophets were no fool. They were not sequested, unworld- i ly hermits, interested only in per- < sonal piety. Their vision was su- ; premely statesmanlike, and dealt definitely with the affairs of nations There is more solid state- i craft to be read in the Books of the Prophets in the Old Testament : . than in year's issues of THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD. They saw more clearly than kings or officials the international situation of the day; and they fearlessly proclaimed the remedy. Their words ring clear and true today as if spoken expressly for this year 1935. No modern prophet has so clear an understanding of contemporary life as these whose; bones have been dust for ages. They saw events, and men and women, in relation to the living God, whose will is human right-’ j eousness. A Trumpet Voice Greatest of all these seers of | God was Isaiah, who lived and | wrote in the eighth century before ' the Christian era. Four kings heard his voied during the forty years ot his ministry—L'zziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah. He has been call-, ed the St. Paul of the Old Testa ' ment. and his book “the masterpiece of Hebrew literature.” Tnir- ' I teen times he is mentioned by | name in the New Testament, and 1 quoted more than two hundred times. Philologists point out the, richness of hi, vocabulary—2,lß6 different Hebrew words, more than , are found in the entire Psalter. It | was a well equipped mind that God : used in Isaiah's prophecy. An earthquaking personal expel ience gave this brilliant man his i call. He tells about it in the sixth : chapter of his book. In the temple ! —how many life-changing experiences come to human spirits in the house of God! —Isaiah saw God Himself, in all His Glory. That, vision of of the pure and holy Almighty, and of his own unworthiness. made Isaiah a prophet, crying "Here am I: send me.” Thenceforth, as an ambassador plenipotentiary of the Most High, he thundered forth in trumpet tones to the nations, directly addressing the surrounding kingdoms, as well as Israel. Forth-Teller and Foreteller i As Maltbie D. Babcock once ' pointed out. prophets* are forth-etll-ers as well as foretellers: the former is the larger prophetic function. To tell forth the will of God is a higher expression oTThe prophetic office than the prediction of future ■ events. Isaiah did both. His “Thus 1 saith the Lord” has thundered

down the centuries a, a summons I to righteousness for nations and for individuals. To Isaiah, above all others of the Old Testament era, it was given to see and to say that man's i need could be met only by a Sav-' iour. He is the premier Messianic I prophet. And his message climax- 1 es in that moving and beautiful passage which I, today's Lesson., The fifty-third chapter of Isaiah—which really begins at the thirteenth verse of the preceding chapter —is the high-water mark of Old Testament literature. In this sublime passage, written seven centuries before the birth of' Jesus, we have a portrait of the suffering Saviour so complete that one has to turn to the Gospels for any counterpart of it. That is w’ay the International Lesson Committee has assigned John 19: 17-37, as a companion study portion, that both the prophecy and it, fulfillment may be read together. The Suffering Servant With melting eyes, sensitive spirits read these eloquent lines from Isaiah's pen:— "He is despised and rejected of men: a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not. Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was 1 wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our itfiquiI ties; the chastisement of our i peace was upon Him; and with : His stripes we are healed. .Yet I it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief: when thou shait make His soul j an offering for sin, He shall see I his seed. He shall prolong His | days, and the pleasure of the I Lord shall prosper in His hand. : He shall see the travail ot His j soul, and shall be satisfied: by i His knowledge shall my right- , eons servant justify many; for He shall bear their iniquities.” With more than human wisdom, the prophet portrays the truth that I only a suffering Saviour could i claim the hearts of humanity. Most of us, suffering and misunderstood, need above all else a Redeemer who has shared our lot, and can stand in our place in fullest sympathy. Jesus Christ founded the whole gamut of human experiences. that He might be qualified as I the world's Redeemer. It is redemption that the world needs fundamentally. There is high talk in political circles as to whether reform or recovery should come first. Really, both are subsequent to the changed minds, and changed lives, of individuals. The path to peace—personal, political, social I peace—runs over the old road that leads to Calvary, where Isaiah's great vision was fulfilled in the crucifixion of Christ for the world s salvation.
