Lesion Passage Isaiah 2;2-4
BY fEV. M. r. HODGES
Thia word wis brought to the
prophet to a vision. Whet he law.
was that relating to the laet day*,,
that is to the days of the coming Mes
siah, when His kingdom should be set
up to the world at the, end of the
Mosaic economy. In the last days
of the earthly Jerusalem the heaven
4 ly Jerusalem should be established
These days were long in coming,
? gnat while waited }pr hp, ^
Old Testament saints but Anally they
came as had been foretold by more
than one of the phophets.
We are not to look for any other
dispensation of Divine grace except
tv-t ?f the Goepel which we now
bare. What greater could we wish
fort Nothing greater could be done
for the race than has been done. The
prophet hen fontells.
1. The setting up of the Christian
Church and the planting of the Chris
tian religion in the world. Christ
ianity shall be" the mountain of the
Lord's house," when that is profess
ed and possessed God will at all times
?rant His presence and nceive the
homage of His people. Christianity
shall be openly professed 'in the
tops of the mountains," that is, in
the view and hearing of all. * 0
longer WiH God's voice and presence
be within closed walls and behind
curtains and sounded in obsure lan
guage; but will be open and free to
all. What has been done by the im
mldiate followers of the meek and
lowly Nasarene and by those who
follow Him now has been and will
continue to be a beacon to a lost
world and not hid in a corner. It
shall be firmly fixed and rooted, it
"shall be established in the tops of
the mountains," that is, built upon a
solid rock and the gates of hell shall
not prevail against it. "And |W1 I
be exalted above the hills?will tower
above all competitors, wUl outshine
all the wisdom, philosophy and poli
tics of the world.
2. The bringing to of the Gentiles,
the nations shall be Drought in. The
middle wall of partition shall be
broken down. "All nations shall flow
unto it."
They shall have liberty, liberty which
can be enjoyed only by those who
are made free by the Gospel. Mul
titudes shall embrace the Christian
religion. There will be no means of
force used but those who accept it
will do willingly. Every false re
ligion has some way by which Its ad
herents are forced to accept the
principles of the same. Not so with
the religion of Jesus Christ
3. There will be mutual helpful
ness. Those who seek Nmmmuipon
and fellowship with Christ should be
anxious to bring others to this knowl
edge. "He will teach us His ways."
God's ways are to be learned in His
church, by the proper use of ito or
dinances and communion and fellow
ship one with another. It is well
worth all the time and pains of a life
time to seek this means of grace.
How anxious men should be to go up
to the sanctuary and there be taught
of the great teacher; there to learn
of His will concerning and us how to
I do His will.
, ..A .. - a ? a 1
4. wui oi r.ion snail go iorcn me
)*w." This refers to the New Testa
ment law?the law of Christ; it is the
law of faith, faith that worketh by
love; it is the word of God and should
therefore receive our very best atten
tion. Christ began his work in Gali
ilee. When the Apostles were com
missioned they began .at Jerusalem.
This honor was allowed even after
Chist had been curicified. because of
what it had been. ?
6. "He shall judge among the na
tions." He shall judge among the
souls of men and rule in them if
permitted to do so. He shall in jus
tice and order rule the affairs of the
world for the advancement of His
j^hurch. Whether we believe it or
not the Church will finally triumph
over all its enemies.
6. "They shall beat their swords
Into ploughshare." Instruments of
war shall become implements of hus
bandry. "Nation shall not lift up
sword against nation." "Neither
shall,they learn war any more." This
-does'not mean that in the days of the
Messiah there shall be no wars. The
Jews urge this against the .Christians
that Messiah has not eome; that the
promise has not been fulfilled. This
wet in part fulfilled when Christ was
born?note the taxing as recorded in
Luke 2:1-2. The design of the Gos
pel is to make peace and. slsv all
enmity and hatred and lusts of men
that breed war. Nothing is said as
to how long this period spoken shall
last. It is evident that we are
living in the Gospel dispensa
tion, the time spoken of in this prop
hecy. We might reasonably expect
the litearl fulfillment of this proph
ecy had it not been for the things
that are the enemies of the Gospel
of Christ. "Thy kingdom come. Thy
will be done." W? brav
and than do tmt ttttfe to Mag II to
MM Thia condition mutt oxiat in
our hearts. Millioaa of earth's popu
lation today art ready and anxious
to hear the Goapel of the Son of God
while we are at home are^eareleas and
indifferent to the claims of the Goe
peL Let ua begin in our own hearts
and in the community of which we
are part, and in the Church we claim
to love to establish the principle# of
Jesus Christ as laid .down in the law
of the New Testament. Agencies are
at work in the world today for the
converting implements of wa* into
things for peace and usefulness.
When will these agencies succedd?
When may up expect them Wlhater
avaH something
when the nations of the earth recog
nise Jesus Christ as Prince of peace,
own God as our father and ruler of
all things. God help us work for this
new and better day.

and exclaimed; Hot another lump of
coal_ will you get until you give me
more heat' The poor fellow frose to

Herein is a lesson for advertisers.
Some men put a little ad in the paper,
and if it doesn't immediately bring
<4* results he expdC-. .' -"^21
"I won't, advertise again until the

If you want still further proofs of
this, look up statistics and compare
the figures of failures among adver
tisers with the figures of failures of
