Amos urns a herdsman called of
God to be n prophet A prophet Is
one who speaks forth the message of
God. He convicts the people of their
sins, pleads for them to get right with
? God. The only effective way to correct
wrong socinl usage Is to bring the
people into right relationship with
God.
I. Tho Call of Amos (LI).
He was a herdsman and gatherer of
J sycamore fruit (7:14). He was not a
prophet by succession, neither was ho
trained In the prophetic schools.
II. To Whom Amol Was Sent (1:1).
Though he wns from Judah, his ministry
was to be primarily to Israel.
III. Amos' Message.
L Sins liPTinnnfftfi ro.no. a . *
- .? , ua-y/.
a. Avaricious greed (2:C-8).
(1) Sold the righteous for silver (v.
6). The Judge, for a bribe of silver,
declared the Innocent to be gul'ty.
(2) Sold the poor for u pair of shoes
(v. 6). It doubtless referred to the
practice of selling Into slavery the
debtor who could uot pay for a pair
,i of shoes which he had been sold on
credit
(3) I'ants after the dust of the earth
(v. 7). So avaricious had these men
become that they even grasped after I
tbc enrth which the downtrodden poor I
cast upon their head In their mourn- !
Ing because of their misery.
(4) Turned aside the way of the
meek (v. 7). These grasping rich uicu .
. turned aside the meek, that Is. those
who did nut stand up for tl.eir rights.
(5) Licentiousness (v. 7). So notorious
were the immoralities practiced
that they were even guilty of
Incestuous prostitution. How adequately
this pictures the licentiousness
f of our present age.
I V b. Reckless security t0:l-3>. They j
' closed their eyes to the approaching :
Judgment predicted by the prophet.
c. Luxury (0:4-G). Tlictr luxury expressed
Itself In:
(1) Extravagant furniture. They
?hnd beds of Ivory, which means,
doubtless, wood InlaUl with* Ivory.
(2) Laziness (v. 4). Many stretched
themselves on their conches, thus living
lives of Indolence.
(8) Feasted on delicacies (v. 4).
They bought what they desired, regardless
of Its cost.
(4) Adorned their feasts with music j
ft v. o>. niey sani; Kile snugs, even In- |
venting musical instruments for tills |
jS pnrpusc.
(5) They drank wine (s. C). They
drank from bowls. Indicating excessive
drinking.
d. They fuileu to grieve foi Joseph.
Many are today Indulging In luxury,
entirely indilTercnt lo the crying needs
of others.
2. The remedy proposed (5:4-0).
The prophet called upoD them to rcW
turn to God. The time to repent Is
while divine judgment Is stayed. In
their turning to God they were to renounce:
a. Idolatry (w. 5, 0). They were
to turn nwny from the places of Idol~i
airy?Bethel, Gllgal, and Beer-sheba.
H * b. Seeking to pervert judgment (v.
7). Turning Judgment to wormwood
fmnltpg flip hltt^rnoss nf nnrverslon
of judgment to the Injured.
c. Seeking to dethrone righteousness
(v. 7). "leaving off righteousness"
Is thought to mean that unrighteousncss
wns allowed to take its place.
IV. Intercedes for the People (7 :l-9).
The prophet stands here not merely
as the proclnlmer of judgment, but as
the Intercessor for the people.
V. Opposed by Amazlah the Priest
(7:10-17).
1. Message sent to Jeroboam (vv. 10,
11). The priest sought to hinder the
v; , piopliet by Informing the king of the
judgment which Amos proclaimed.
2. He attempted to silence the
pi-ophet (vv. 12, 13).
3. The prophet's bold reply (vv. 1417).
a. He declared that he had received
his commission from God directly (w.
14, 15). The one who has heard the
" call of God must be faithful In the
declaration of his message even though
opposed by ecclesiastical and political
lenders.

A SUMMER FROCK i
PATTERN 8440?If you want an
ideal frock for the warm days you :
could not do better than to make a
little wash frock from the pattern
ohnivn in the. sketch. It is another
version of the popular skirtwaisl
frock, which bids fair to be a uni- d
form for woman, except that there tl
are so many variations from the si
standard type. >'
The front closing of the waist is "
finished with large buttons and a s'
flattering bow. The little tucks at the 11
shoulders make it easy and comfort- s'
able. The shoulders themselves continue
into short sleeves. Cl
A smooth-fitting skirt is made with ?
center scam in front ending in an in- u
verted pleat. Decorative pockets add w
their bit to the chic effect and darts el
fit the skirt at the back.
This design could be made of 'r
striped silk shirting, pastel linen or vwhite
crepe. is

A TRAINING SCHOOL |
When we iook out over i.?= maiij j
isappointments that cover our travel j ]
trough life, we come to the conclu- |
ion that this world is only a train-1,
lg school for us. The years are pass- ,
lg faster than they used, the mile- ,
tones seem to recur more often. We |
ravel, many of us, in the evening ,
tiadows; we look out on life and sec ,
. softer in outline, more mellow in ,
oloring, than of old. We are tired ]
[ten now, when we used to never be ,
'eary; (he rest seems as though it ,
'ould be sweeter when we reach tho j
ad. j
We are less eager about the pass- ]
ig things on the wayside than we ,
ere. But ever growing in our hearts ;
i the abiding sense that though we
ic much around us to dishearten
nd to make us sad, though we can .
3C no visible means to right the (
'i-ong, no immediate help for much .
rat has made life's journey inexpres:bly
sorrowful. God will not fail. The ventful
triumph of right is as ecrrin
as that the light which falls up- j
a us today had its being in the sun.
fe dimly begin to see that this inint
school of a world is but the trainlg
ground. We are passing on to see
le unfolding of God's purposes, not
ie finality. Our very failures are
ke the child's tottering steps. The
ill does not mean that the little one
ill never walk erect; but only the
ui tunc uaii ( ('.ti n Liie lessons
F gravitation. We need not despair
ecause good seems as yet to be held
own by evil. God can make no failre,
but our lives must be in the cur;nt
of His will, for then only we can
evelop and help forward His plans
id learn Uie lessons that He will
:ach us here. It is this sense of the
(uivmg process of life tl"at can alone
ring us courage?the absolute, blind
elief that, though we see it not, God
i carrying out His plans and purDses
not only for the individual, but
>r the great mass of toiling, sufffcrig,
struggling humanity. May we,
hen we are called to pass to the
ext standard, look lovingly Into the j
ices of our fellow-man and feel we j
ave helped to make their lives eas-;
jr. as we go out to learn more of the
ill and mind of God.

FA KM QUESTION
My bean vines are being destroyed
)V beetles. How can i' comhat. them?
Answer: Dust with magnesium arsenate.
Mexican bean beetles have
appeared in large numbers this season
and will be very destructive to
late snap beans unless control measures
are used. The insect3 may be
controlled with a magnesium arsenite
dust or spray or by using the new
Etotcnone dust. This latter is being
recommended quite generally now because
it is r.on-poisor.ous to humans
jut it is more expensive than the
[lcagnesium arsenate. If you have only
i few rows of beana in the garden,
/cry good results may be secured by
licking the adult beetles each day.
The production of horses and mules
s steadily on the increase in Stany

acks are available for service.
