The book of Malachi consists
|of four short chapters, and it is
the last voice in a long and dis
tinguished line of prophets. It;
was written probably about the
middle of the fifth century B. C.
and represented the last prophetic
utterance prior to the coming of
Christ.
We do not know anything
about the writer, nor are we
certain of his home. The name of
[the book in Hebrew means, "ray
({messenger," and it is not exactly
certain whether or not this is the
|name of the author or whether
the book was named thus because

ship, following the return of the
exiles from Babylon. The writer
does not hesitate to condemn the
practice nt offering unworthy
sacrifices to Jehovah. Nor does
he fail to severely criticize the
priests for their neglect in fail
ing to follow the law of truth and
genuinely represent Jehovah.
Whereas, "the priest's lips should
keep knowledge." Malachi tells
those of his day that "ye have
caused many to stumble." Mala
chi aleo, was unsparing in his
criticisms of the people for their
social sina, charging them especi
ally with robbing God in the
matter of offerings and of shat
tering their homes by their in
fidelity to the old martiage cus
toms of their race.
There are germs of great
teachings in this short book, how
ever. For example, he urges that
they offer God "offerings in
righteousness" rather than the
formal offerings of an insincere
ceremony, reminding the Jews
that in ancient years such cere
monial pretenses did not exist.
In another passage, showing an
advanced conception of Jehovah
is the confident and daring pro
phecy; "From the rising of the
sun even unto the going down of
the same, my name shall be great
among the Gentiles." Malachi al
so recognize the common father
hood of God, asking why should
we deal treachously against a
brother.
The Jews were subject to a
very definite and strict rule in
regard to tithes, but one of the
evils which Malachi denounced
was the hypocrisy and deceit
practiced in this matter. Speak
ing for God, he indicts his fel
low citizens for robbing God by
failing to offer the proper tithe
and called upon them to prove
God by accounting honestly in
this matter of free will offerings.
Malachi tried to show that if
the people wished to advance
materially, they must first set
themselves right spiritually. The
four chapters in his book is per
haps the greatest passage in the
Bible on the relation of national
spirituality to national prosperity.
One of God's greatest promises
to his people is made in this book
and he challenges his people to
try his plan for prosperity. The
only condition for the successful
working of the plan is that the
people prove their honesty tow
ard God in the matter of tithes
I
and offering*.
Some Christians try to excuse
themselves from giving a tenth
of their income bjt arguing that
tithing is a requirement of the
Old Testament and that Chris
tians are not obliged to tithe.
Surely, a Christian owes far more
to God because of the atonement
of Christ than a Jew did because
[o f a commandment of the law.
When we realize the tremondous
price which Jesus paid for our
redemption and the obligation we
assume when we accept that re
demption from our sins, then a
tenth is not too high a standard.
Not only will the money we
give willingly be a blessing to
us, but this money will be used
<to further the interests of the
^kingdom of God. Consecrated
wealth has built hospitals, schools,
missions, churches, and has re
lieved suffering all over the
world. Surely, every one who
loves God wants to have a part
in such worthy causes!
Rhodendron In
Bloom On Roan
Bakersville ? One of the heav
iest crimson rhorodendron bloom
ing seasons in years is being pre
dicted by visitors to the 6,313, ft.
summit of Roan mountaip near
here. The predictions are based
on the unusually large number
of buds in evidence on the bushes
that cover several on the moun
tain.
Last season the number of
blooms was somewhat smaller
than usual and experience has
been that a light blooming sea
son is nearly always followed
by one with a very heavy crop
of blossoms.
Crimson rhododendron at most
places in Western North Carolina
with altitudes of 3.000 to 3,500
feet are now approaching their
height, and should continue in
their full glory for perhaps two
weeks longer. However, at high
er altitudes the buds have not yet
begun to show color, and it is too
early to determine just when the
blossoms on Roan mountain will
be at their height. The time varies
as much as three weeks from
year to year, depending on
weather conditions. Persons
throughout familiar with Roan
mountain say it may be another
three weeks before it will be pos
