r yOU hive never read the story
at Elijah and the prophets of
'bail, you have missed one of the
most dramatic stories of the
world's literature. And yet how
ever you take it you may be left
with the feeling that this tale does
not belong in the twentieth cen
tury. Nobody believes in Baal any
more, and miracles like fire tram
heaven that will In
one instant burn
up animals, wood,
stones and deep
trenchea full of
water?such mir
acles Just don't
happen any more.
Bur this is more
than a wonder
tale out of the far
past Like all of
the Bible, it has something to
say to us today as to man of all
times and places.

When Evils Are Idols
Every age has its Baals. Idols
are not always made of stone or
wood. They may not be in any
physical shape at all, an idol may
be an idea, a "spirit of the times."
It can be a desire or a dream. AD
idols are bad because they are
always in place of the true God:
but the worst idols are evils which
are so popular that they are taken
(or granted. The Baal against
whom Elijah fought bis brave bat
tle single-handed was the god of
the royal family; end It was so
nearly the god of aU the nation
that Elijah had the impression that
he and he alone could see the hol
lowness of this cruel god. The
truth was that the worship of Baal
was not a theological heresy; Baal
was not simply a wrong name for
God. Baalism involved crimes hi
Baal's name; no true worshipper
of Be el could be pure or kind of
heart Baalism was worst a
national religion; It waa a nation
al cancer an^ the end of it would
be national ieath. Elijah knew
It: but nobody alee knew it; and se
when he attacked Baal the au
' tboriUe* marked him down as a
bad character. So. far from thank
ing him (or chaiiangtnj a great
evlL ha was run out of tha coun

Why Reformers Am Hated
You can divide aO citizens Into
two kinds. One (whether realizing
it or not) takes (or its motto
"Whatever la. Is right." The other
kind sees that some thing. that
are. ought not to be. And a tew
of this other kind begin to agitate
and talk about changes that must
be made. They are sometimes
called reformers; but they are
usually called worse names. One
hundred years ago end more, there
was a book written by a man
named Helper, which pointed out
in detail the bad economic effects
of slavery in the states that prac
tised and legalized it The book
was not answered; it was banned.
In at least one state it 4af a legal
! offense to own a copy iff it Helper
himself was attacked In news
papers and in pulpits. For he had
dared to challenge the Baal of
In those days, in tha
north as well as in the south, to
be an "abolitionist" was to be
Joyr-raled Ma crack-pot or a liar,
or worse. Nowadays, two of our
Baals are war and the liquor
traffic. What happens to parsons
who say a word againat that great
temple of the Pentagon? What hap
pens to people who come out with
the truth about the effects of liquor
and propose even to limit liquor
advertisingT Hp-.- too are called
crackpots, liars and worse,
