The puppet-king Zedeklah had asked the Egyptians to pull his strings , . . that was the end of I|y| and anybody that ■ ® " was anybody was Dr. Foreman either killed or deported. Jeremiah, the city’s most lamous citizen, wss offered a chance to go to Babylonia as a free man; but he declined. He preferred to stay with his own people, he said, and hi* own land. But they were a sorry lot, the drega of the populace for the moat part Vm, Good ill 111 They were glad enough to have Jeremiah with them. They seemed to recognize him at last as a true prophet He had told them so often Just what would happen and It did. So they began to look up to him cmi come to him with their problems. One day they cams up with a very Important decision they wanted hfan to help them make. Should they go to Egypt or nott This was not as If they were going down there like tourists Into Florida. This was tor keeps, a fullscale A sort of Exodus in reverse, with Jeremiah the new Moses to lead them back Into Egypt (Why they wanted to go can be read In detail. In /era* miah.) They put this up to hlmi Find out what God wants Rg to do. You are a prophet and you should know. "Whether it to good or ervfl. we will obey the voice of tha Lord God," they solemnly promised. But they did not mean tt. Theto ■nfn/ia were made up to go. When Jeremiah after ton days knew Bit fee Lord did not want them to to to Egypt, be told the people a* But they paid no attention; on tha arnitrnrr they bundled him to *to took him along, an unwilling prta(ocr on-their forbidden road- Bo they broke their good vow. Some - time later down in Egypt they bragged to Jeremiah that they were keeping their promises now. They had vowed to make sacrifice* to the star-gods and goddesses—and sacrifice they did, to the “Queen of heaven” and a lot more. HYou Kntw God’s Will • • • Before condemning those people too quickly, let the reader translate the story into the 20th century. Don’t we all pray, “Thy will be done?" Have we not all asked God more than once to show us what to do? When we pray “Thy will be done” we are making an implied promise, that we will cooperate. What we mean to. of course, not “Thy will be done 4n spite of everything I do to stop it,” but “Thy will be done, and let me know if 1 can help.” This raises two questions. One is: How can we know God’s will? Can we know God’s will without a guaranteed prophet to help us out? Well we have the Gospels, we have the Word of God. We surely can know a great deal about God’s will We at least know this much, that any scheme, plan or Intention which is out of line with the great teachings of the Bible Is out of line with God, and doomed to final failure. Woald Yob D*ltl The other question raised by that prayer-vow, Thy will be done, is this: If you knew the will of God, would you do it? Those ancient men of Judah scorned God’s will and scorned his prophet, although they had been pleading for light and direction. We had better be sure we are without sin before we cast at them the first stone. We often feel that God does not give us enough light We pray earnestly for. his will to be made known to us, and we are inclined to grumble at the silence of God. The trouble is we do not follow the light he has given us. A great American preacher called attention to Saul’s request of the Witch of Endor, “Bring me up SamueL" The thing to—he had had For a long time Samutl had been telling Saul where he was wrong, but the king had paid no attention. A man who will not listen to Samuel living will not listen to hto ghost So with us. “Thy win be done” suggests sadly many a broken vow. How can be hope to persuade God that we win follow his will if be will show it to us, when we have not followed hto w3l when he did show it to us? We might make a humbler vow: O God, help me to go back and pick up some of tha promises X have broken!

Do We Cheat The Church? Rev. J. R. Meadows There are too many people willing to accept the blessings of the church but unwilling to give God enough of their mon'ey and leiaure time. 1 If the church is to be the Living Body of Christ, If it Is to make any kind of Impact on the world today, with all of Us social, moral, econiAni<' v abd political problems, it mustbe composed of members who are ready to live a Christ-edu-cated and Christ-consecrated life in word and deed. When the American people, last year spent almost 19 times as much for taxes. 10 times as much for luxuries and put away almost eight times as much in savings as they gave for the church and , charities, they pointed the way for a change. Church members shrink with horror and are deeply offended at the thought they are guilty of robbing God. As the Lord himself asks through the prophet Malachi ‘■Wlli a Man Rob*God?” they hasten to answer with a loud and emphatic "No.” And yet the answer of God comes to them “Yet ye have robbed me.*’ Men who would not take from another that which belongs to him will, nevertheless, withhold from God that which ia due unto Him. Be in your church next Sunday. THIB WEEK’S Blßt.£ VERSE “Bring ye all the tithes Into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine bouse, and prove me now' herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, If I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you but a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.’’— Malachi 3:10.
