THE- PROPHET Amos, the only man of that name mentioned In the Old Testament, was a herdsman, owrning and raising his own peculiar breed of sheep that were noted for their fine wool. He; like John the Baptist, lived far from men. but to sell his wool, he had to travel to the cities, and having a fine, alert mind, he acquired knowledge of ,what was going on in the whole country and other countries too. Amos lived during the reign of Uzziah, king of Judah, and Jero boam IT. king of Israel, writing between 765 and 750 B. C. It was a time of peace and prosperity in Israel. The people fe!t secure, and as so often in times like this, they fell Into Immoral ways of living. Only In adversity did they remain true to Jehovah whom .they always seemed to think would come to their aid if trouble ,came. Worship of Baal and the ,calf was general, the whole of Canaan, from Dan to Beersheba, being studded with local shrines to these heathen gods". Amos tells of the Lord's mes sage coming to him when he was following his flock of sheep. "I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herds man, and a gatherer of sycamore fruit: And the Lord took me as I followed the flock, and the Lord said unto me. Go, prophesy unto My people Israel. Now therefore hear thou the word of the Lord." The Lord showed him a basket of summer fruit, asking, "Amos, what seest thou?" Amos an swered, "A basket of summer fruit," and the Lord said, "The id is come upon My people Israel; I will not again pass by Jthem any more. "And the songs of the temple hall be. bowlings In that day. aalth the Lord God: there shall b many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence." Amos Warns His People r With such a threat hanging over his people, and with his knowledge of all the wickedness In the land, what could Amos do but obey the lord and try to warn of what would surely come If the people continued in their wickedness? Hear ye this word that the lord hath spoken against you, O children of Israel. The virgin of i Distributed by King restarts IbiUcsU..Xsa, Israel Is fallen; she shall no more rise; she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up." "For thus saith the Lord God, the city that went out by a thou sand shall leave a hundred, and that which went forth by a hun dred shall leave 10. to the house of Israel. "For thus saith the Lord unto the house of Israel. Seek ye Me, and ye shall live." "Hate the evil, and love the good, an.i establish judgment in the gate: It may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph." If they turned not from their evil ways, Amos told them. "Wailing shall be in the streets; and they shall say In all the high ways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourn ing, and such as are skillful in lamentation in wailing." The idolatrous ways of the peo ple and their useless sacrifices unaccompanied by right living, were rebuked thus: "I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn as semblies. Though ye offer Me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts. "Take thou away from Me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols. But let judgment run down an waters, and righteousness as mighty stream. Have ye offered unto Me sacrifices and offering in the wilderness 40 years. O house of Israel ? "But ye have borne the taber nacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. "Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damas cus, saith the Lord, whose name Is the God of Hosts." Now Amaziath, the priest, went to the king to complain about this man, Amos, telling Jeroboam that Amos had foretold that he. the king, should die by the sword, and "Israel shall sure ly be led away captive out of their own land." It is not known what Jeroboam answered Amaziah. but the priest told Amos. "O thou seer, go. flee, thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there: "But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it Is the king's chapel, and It is the king's court." But Amos continued tm prophesy, and his predictions finally cam to pass.- : penditures may not bear this out. We spent twice as much for tobacco as we gave the Church, three times as much for movies and recreation, and seven times us much fur alco holic beverages. One wonders where this un bridled thirst for alcoholic bever ages is going to lead the two great Christian nations of the world. Ac cording to the Associated Press the British people spend annually on drink almost three times the total of their yearly fuel and light bill. What the figure is compared to their giving to the Church, we do not know. Great Britain and the United States are two of the out standing "so-called" Christian na tions of the world. Along with this comes the report from the three leading agencies which are working on alcoholism, that we now have an estimated three million alcoholics in the Uni ted States and the number is in creasing. Still, we call for more liquor. Apparently we are determined to disregard the teachings proven ""n SI', '"A ,V " otsrisn rniHtrn ii'V El Prophets Ames, Nthum, Eiekiel and Daniel, "Seek eod, end not evH, that ye may liv."-Amoi 3, through the ages in the history of many previous civilizations, that righteousness exalts the nation, but sin and debauchery are a reproach unto the people and mark the be ginning of the end of that civiliza tion. We do not legislate morals into people, nor legislate sin out of them. Apparently now, we are more interested in what alcohol stands for than what the Church stands for. The spiritual attitude of the na tion is going to determine its fu ture, not the laws we put on our books. The Bible says, "where the man's treasure is there will his heart be also." If we judge the na tion by its spending, we can see where our interest lies. Truly, we stand in need of a spiritual revival!
