Eor a history of the nation ic this time sec IT Kings, chapters 15 to HO. Isaiah's visions present the redemptive purpose of God through t lie consummation of Messiah's kingdom. Chapter 1 is the title to tiie whole book. It contains the great arraignment of the people for their sins. I. The Moral State of the People (VV. 2-41. 1. Filial ingratitude (v. 2). The universe is summoned to hear the Lord's complaint against Judah and Israel for their base ingratitude. 2. Brutal stupidity (v. 3). The ox and the ass are proverbially stupid, but Israel's stupidity exceeded theirs. Israel would not recognize His right as sovereign, nor author of mereiest 3. Habitual evil doers (v. 4). They were not sinners in set merely, but in nature aud heart were laden with Iniquity. By heredity they passed their vices from generation to generation. 1!. Their Consequent Miseries (vv. 6-0). 3. Their perplexity (v. 5). Chastisement only hardened them. > Their afflictions were followed by deeper and more heinous sins. 2. Their awful confusion (v. 6). The calamity which befell litem extended to all classes. No one was able to minister to their comfort 0. wesuiuuuus in UlC country \vv. 7, 8). Hevolts from within and invasions from without left their country desolate. Physical ruin always follows moral and spiritual decadence. 4. A saved remnant assured (v. 9). God's purposes cannot fail. A remnant was saved In Israel?a remnanl shall be saved in the church. Hill. Formal Worship Rebuked (vv. Their awful calamities were not due to the neglect of religious rites and ceremonies. Tbcy punctiliously observed the forms of religion while indulging in iniquitous practices. 1. God does not need sacrifices (v. 11). Worship and service are not for God's benefit, but for that of the worshipers themselves. 2. God's attitude toward formal worship (vv. 12-14). The very rites and ceremonies which God ordained for the purpose of helpw inn men to anDroach Him become dis gusting and irksome to Him. ft God's refusal (v. 15). Every act of worship while the heart and life are steeped with Iniquity only incites the anger of the Holy One. IV. An Amended Life God's Requirement (vv. 16-20). Though the nation had so grievously sinned, their case was not hopeless. In order to enjoy that mercy there must be: 1. A cleansing. "Wash you, make you clean." The washing by water symbolized the cleansing by the blood of the Son oi God. 2. "Put away the evil of your doings." There could be no cleansing while continuing in sin. 8. "Cease to do evil." 4. "Eenrn to do well" (v. 17). One can only cease to do evil bj learning to do welL 5. "Seek Judgment." One must not only be upright him self but should protest against the wrongdoing of others. Burden! should be removed from the op i pressed. Justice should be done t( the fatherless and the widows sboulc be befriended. 6. Encouragement to come to Go< (v. 18). Though tlielr guilt was great anc the judgment which befell them wa - awful. God's pardoning and cleansinj CTOrtA WOWA OVlffijtlAWf (yi avc auuiuvuu 7. Conditional promise (v. 19). This means that they conld only en joy good on God's terms. SL Solemn training (v. 20). Rebellion against God brings roln.

U Watklnaon, r ?-?-~y"i Miss Flo's Corner A Question Box for the Ladies By MISS FLO i; ! THAT YOUTHFUL ROMANTIC 1 HANGOVER j Dear Xhss Flo: Before I married my husband I was 211 love with a much younger and) * ntucn more attractive man. We werej engaged, but we quarreled, and we! 1 drifted apart. He never married. I have been married fifteen years, ? but somehow I can't seem to forget : the first man. T unconsciously keep ' comparing him to my husband and my husband suffers by the com- 1 par'son. Recently I received a let- : ter from him asking if he might see 1 me again to talk over old times. I was very glad to hear from him. but ' when 1 told mv husband about it he ! was very much upset. Don't you ; j think he is unreasonable??Mary j How would you like your husband | to open up a friendship with one of his old sweethearts?one to whom in i his mind you suffered by compari-! s o n ? ' 1 Perhaps he feels intuitively thatj ( vh iiurvn i. uucti iK'iv V,Vf CIllUClv iUI - | get your first, love affair, and that it ! might result disastrously and might j break up his home. Prospects of that sort would rather upset him? especially ifhe happens to love you. Personally, I beiicw the dangerj j of such mishap is slight. I think you , '.are suffering from a youthful, ro! mantle hang-over?and in your ! comparison you are picturing your, : former sweetheart as a perfect being | J with none of the faults possessed by j | the man you married?and naturally you imagine yourself perfectly hap- j py had you married your first love. I. Part of the trouble is that while! you are well aware of the shortcomings of the man you did marry ?you aren't aware of those of the man you didn't marry. Fifteen years cast a glow of illusion over your early romance. Cheer up, Mary Louise, you aren't t suffering from a broken heart, you are suffering from romantic imagination. There isn't any man without nerves and temper and irritating ways ru?r who is always thouyhtfu! and unselfish. 1 The best cure possible, in my > I opinion, would be for you to see thej | once beloved one. No cure could be s so effectual?or so disillusioning?! i than to see the Prince. Charming of | youv dreams?the man for whom i you have been pining and grieving. What! Can this he the wonderful) youth I have been regretting for fif- j teen years. Can this unromantic fat man whose only topic of conversation is business, and who is fussy ahtmt hie fond and can't wit in rlvaftc ?can this be the man to whom 1 have unfavorably been comparing my own good husband all these years? Ridiculous, you say, and your cure will be complete. You'll thank your lucky stars he is the man you didn't marry, and you'll be glad to make the best of your husbantk ASHE GIRL ENDS LIFE Miss Kate Vannoy committed suicide by taking poison at the hohte of her father, Jesse Vannoy, near Nathan's Creek, Sunday night. She left a note in which she stated that sue was tired of living. No reason for her act is known to her family and friends.
