WHY NATIONS PERISH

1 LESSON TEXT II Kings 17:5-12. 22, 23; Isaiah 28:1-4. MEMORY SELECTION For the Lord fcnoweth the way of the righteous: but the way ol the ungodly shall perish. Psalm 1:6. !. Nations as well as people come to crossroads in their history, and taking the wrong road then means future disaster. Solomon had built up great national prosperity, but at the expense of heavy taxes. He had forgotten God, and was succeeded by a son who followed in his footsteps. Offered an opportunity to ease the fcurden of the people (I Kings 12: 14), Eehoboam in his folly made it greater, and the nation was divided. ,The ten northern tribes, which were henceforth to be known as Israel, followed Jeroboam, and the two southern tribes under Rehoboam became the kindom of Judah. Jeroboam started with God's fa-1 Vor, and might have led his people right, but instead he became the king whose name stood for wickedness (see II Kings 15:18). The story . of that downfall is a sad picture of , unbelief and failure. Through varied experiences and under different, kings, Israel had-, gone down, down, down in its history of sin and departure from God. 1 I. Doomed by Sin (II Kings 17:

5-12, 22, 23). The hour had struck when God's heavy hand of judgment had to fall on them. Verse 6 relates their car-

syria, and verses 7-9 tell us the ' leason for that judgment. I

Ingratitude for God's blessing 1

;v. 7) led to the worship of other I PILGRIM

gods (v. 8). They knew God's hatred

for the sin of idolatry, and his judgment upon those who walked in that way, but they went right on.

Note in verse 9 that these things were done "secretly." "The same thing is true today of many who profess to be the people of God. The line of demarcation between the church and the world is not clearly drawn. We do well to note carefully the outcome of this course of pro

cedure on Israel's part (w. 6, 18). The fact that Israel did these biaM secretly did not hide them from br

1 "Soul and Body" is the subject of the Lesson - Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, May 25. The Golden Text is: "Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within roe 1 hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God" (Psalms 42:11). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you,

wai ye snoum not obey the truth, , before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath I been evidently, set forth, crucified ! among you ? This only would I learn I of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of iaith? Are ye so foolish? having j

Degun in me spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh" (Galatians 3:1-3). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "Man is not a material habitation

for Soul; he is himself spiritual, service.

. divine iieutc biiuws Jl to D6 impossible that a material body, though -interwoven with matter's highest stratum, misnamed mind, should be, man, the genuine and perfect man, the immortal idea of being, indestructible and eternal" (P. 477).

about things. He knows what to do!

II. The Lord's Answer (19:7, 32-37).

God has only to blow on the 'mighty, blustering monarchs of this

world and they come to their end, definitely and conclusively. The

"blast" of the Lord (v. 7) is enough

to care for that! And remember, he is still ready to act on behalf of his

people! - , On the plains of Philistia the mighty host of Assyria met the angel of the Lord, and they never awoke from their sleep. The loss or 185,000 men sent Sennacherib honip to Nineveh broken and fearful. nd there he met his own violent d;:th. How much we need the en-.'uur-agement of such an event as this in our own day when the mighty of this earth seem to speak so boldly and confidently against the name of

the Lord. His children must often hear the blasphemous threats of unbelievers and bear the burden ol their scorn. Let us remember that we do serve a God who can with a glance of his eyes throw into confusion all the enemies of his mighty name. Let us be strong to fight the victorious battle in his name! Hezekiah knew the sweetness of victory as he trusted in the Lord. If we could only rest the matter there. But the weakness of the flesh comes to the fore as we see IH. The King's, Folly (20:12-17). Babylon, one of the great Gentile enemies of Assyria, wanted to cultivate the friendship of Hezekiah, so an embassy was sent to express joy at his recovery from a serious illness. It was the Lord who had healed him (see 20:1-11) in' a miraculous way, but now Hezekiah did the foolish thing of trying to cultivate the help of men. To impress these possible allies from Babylon, he showed them all his wealth. He evidently wanted them to return to their ruler with a story of the might and glory of Judah.

Poor Hezekiah! He only made a I fool of himself, prepared the way ' for the ultimate taking of his pos- I sessions and his people by the Baby-

lomans. The lesson to be learned here is

Dream of the home and famijy that 'yrM be yours ... of the happiness the years so richly promise, " ' But wait! Are day-dreams enough! They merely give us visions of things Hope'd for as yet unseen. Lik'e the sculptor, who brings from rough-hewn rock the graceful lines of his once-untried dreams, we must shape and mold the.charade';which wiU

measure up to ours.

And even this is not enough! : To find the tools and skills with" VHicH to fasHion tHe fullness of our, dreams we must sit at the feet of the Master Sculptor; and learn from Him : the art of fashioning life. . - The Church reveals these priceless truths of God.
