By, OR. KENNETH I. FOREMAN - SCRIPTURE: Amos 5:218:6; 7:10-17; Mlcah 4:1-5; 5:2-4; 6:6-8. DEVOTIONAL READING: Isalab 55. Voices of God Lesson for November 11, 1048 T17UAT became of our lost W mules?" That is the kind of question which prophets once upon time were expected to answer (I Samuel 9:1-10). Some people still have this notion about prophets In the Bible, as if they had been gypsy fortune-tellers, tea-leaf readers or astrologers. They were nothing of the sort. It is not possible to open the Bible to the books of the prophets and read Or. Foreman hlstorj'-ln-ad-vance,- finding out when the next war is coming and when the end of the world is scheduled. If we could really use the prophets of the Bible in this way, then any reader of these books could write history accurately in advance; but no one has done this yet Hired Man and Aristocrat THE genuine prophets, whose writings make up so much of the Bible, are something far loftier than mere fortune-tellers. They are authentic voices of God. Because of the way they spoke, the timeless truth of what they- said, they are God's spokesmen to our own times as well as to their own, and to all times. The Bible prophets were not "professionals." They bad no " churches to support them. No regular meetings were arranged for them. You never would have read In the Jerusalem Journal, If there bad been such a newspaper, that the Rev. Dr. Isaiah "would preach at the temple at 11 a. m. and there would be special music. . Few ever knew when or where a prophet might speak. ,. No one knew beforehand where a prophet might come from. Amos, for example, was a hired man from a sheep-ranch. Micah was a smalltown preacher. Isaiah was a highly cultured citizen of the capital, in timate with all the important people. Ezekiel was a trained priest, loving ritual and pageantry. Jeremiah was a lonely, hunted man, living often in jails. Daniel was a member of a king's council, wealthy and famous. They were all kinds of men, these prophets, but one and all, they were God's voices, pleading, warning, teaching all who would hear. Their Times and Ours HUMAN nature Is always much the same. One man alone, or one man with another man, or a man with a woman, or a man in a crowd in the Eighth century before Christ when Amos preached, or now in the 20th century after Christ, .the same sort of situation brings out the same temptations, the same sins. The prophets often sound quite modern, but that is only because the human race is so old-fashioned. The prophets looked about . them and saw a world much like our own. They saw people spending more than they could afford; they saw wealthy women dressing in competition with one another while poorer women starved; they saw crowds of business men attending religious services on Sabbath mornings " and spending the rest of the Sabbath figuring out how to - cheat their customers on Mon- " day The prophets lived in evil times and they brought the Judgment of God to such times then, now and always. ' -Sins of Society IN AN American town there was a lynching one Saturday night. The next morning there were four sermons in the tour little churches of the town; but not one of the preach--ers had a word to say about that "lynching or any lynching or about the causes that produce such crimes. . ; The prophets never would have missed an opportunity like that. They were not afraid to speak out, reven when they had the whole cqpimunity against them. What Does God Require? IT IS easier to say "Don't" than "Do." It is easier to criticize than to construct. But the prophets did not stop with warnings. They , have given us a pattern for living. which Micah summed P to those tnnfnhlacc IneniPArl nrArriC' "What doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" Everything that Is good, in public life or in private, is Included In those 12 words. (Copyright bf tb latoraitioail Council of. Religious Education on behxll of 40 Protestant (nomination j.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "Mortals and Immortals" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, November 14. The Golden Text is: "If ye live ' after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye ! through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live" (Romans 8:13). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we i should be called the sons of God" (I John 3:1). "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that , we are the children of God: And if , children, then heirs; heirs of God, i and joint-heirs with Christ" (Ro1 mans 8:14, 16, 17). 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: "In Science man is the offspring of Spirit The beautiful,' good, and pure constitute his ancestry. His origin is not, like that of mortals, in brute instinct, nor does he pass through material conditions prior to reaching intelligence, bpirit is his primitive and ultimate source of being; God is his Father, and Life is the law of his being".
