Ezekiel 1:13; 3; 11; 3:17-21. 4:14 tor Sunday; April I This lesson deals with the great hearted pan tor, who aheperded the Hebrews in the land of Babylon after they were carried off inttY captivity. V.l. "Now it came to pans in the thirtieth year, in the foot th fhonth, in tin- fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and ! saw visions ot God." The hour of the greatest need fa the hour of dhlne presence and divine strength. V',2. "la the fifth day of the month which was the fiffh year of king Jehciachlns Captivity." Dis- , <>!>edience to God and his Word ends in captivity and death. V. 3. "The word of the I-ord came nxpeeely unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi. in the land of the Chaldeans, by the river Chebar; and the hand of the bird was there upon him " The word of God was present to show what to do and the hand of God was present to enable him to do it. If we obey the word we will feet God's hand. V.ll. "And go. and get thee to them of the rapfivlty. unto the children of tfry people, and speak snto them and tell them. Thus salth the Lord God, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear." The duty of the prophet is Is speak in the name of the Xmrd, whether the pesple will heed er not." Thus saith the Lord" needs to ring out over the life of every generation. The only true authority is divine authority V. 17, "Son of man. I have made thqe a watchman unto the house of Israel, therefore hear ths word of my mouth, and give them warning from me." A particular function of the prophet is to serve as a watchman or sentinel, who stands i on the watch to Observe, and to warn others in case of danger. Mlt> ktef* are God's- mouth pieces to the children of men. V.lB. "When 1 way uato the wicked. Thou shalt surely die; and thou give* him not warning nor to 1 warn the wicked from his wick-* ed way. to save pis life; the same ni< ked man shall die I" his inlqui-

Ow? Right relation* with each other and with God is most important. Right relations in the home main ! twining the tie of love, matched with the right relation to God maintaining the lie of divjpe iove, knit* souls together with each other and with God that mdkie perpetual and eternal lives here on earth. 0 Book Review 4.(r 53 More Sunday Talks to Child-1 ren by Jpesph A.

ty; but his blood will ' require ;Q thine hand " Our responsibility is not that men should do right, but that we ourselves should do right by warning them against evif and encouraging them tu righteousness. At gome lime or some area of human activity we are assigned as watchman, commissioned by God to speak In behalf of truth and against evil. , V 19. "Vet If thou warn tba wicked. and he turn not from his wickedness nor frefn his wicked way, he shall die in his inqlqulty; but ’ thou hast delftered thy soul.” It Is not enough for a man turn to 1 turn from his wicked wayby an outward reformation, but he must turn from his wickedness, from the love of it and the inclination to it, by an Inward regeneration. V. 20. "Again, when a righteous man tuifr from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbllagbiock before him, he shall die; because thou hast not -given him warning, he shall die in his sin. and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered, but his blood will I require at thine hand." It must be made clear God fa nowhere represented as causing nations or men to do evil acts which they are also represented as doing of their own accord and with evil intent; and Mod is nowhere represented as the author of sin in stich sense that : he causes an Innocent mind to sin. There fa need of much watching and praying for it Is possible for a godly man to go wrong. A’ 21. '’Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man. that the right-1 eous sia not. and he doth not sin I because he is warned: also thou hast delivered thy «nul " Here Is one place where a child of God must be qt his |>est namely in giv-i ing clear warnings, of the consequence* of evil; only far doing this is a mso who knows the truth himself saved. V.l. "Thou also son of man. take! thee a tHe. and lay it bef<re thee, | and portray on it the etty, even Jerusalem." This is a symbol by which the siege and destruction ot Jerusalem was portrayed. V. 2. “And lay siege against it. .Mid build a fort wgainot. it; set the camp also against it. ami set battering rams against round about."
