A few. years ago a Washington
office building boasted an office that
excited .the awe and admiration of
all who saw it. It was ornate, elogant,
tasteful, decorative and all ,
that sort of thing?in one' word, nifty.
. It had a reputation; every ,
other office in the building 'was com- ;
pared with it, and few reached a
rating as high as 50 per cent.

was closed.- The glory of tluS-particulur
building had departed, until,
recently, another sumptuous,
luxurious and pontme de terre establishment
blossomed out therein
Naturally, of efivrse,. old timers
in the building began comparing it",
with the one that had excited so
much comment in the past. It was
about 50-50. Some.thought it was
even more elaborate; others Thought
it was equally so, and some thought
it wasn't so much. ?
And who knows how long the debate
might have gone on, bootlessly
and futilcly, had not the .discovery
Suddenly been made that the two
offices bad the identical furniture, |

?The Duty ot Warning Other*.
I. Ezekiel't Call (vv,l, 2).
1. Commanded t.o Stand Up (v. 1).
Ezekiel was -given a vision of the Almighty
Go& on His* thtone of glory
(ph. 1).. Before the vision the prophet
fell prostrate upon his faqp. The essential
equipment of a minister for the
discharge ot his fcask Is u vision of the
Almighty. ' ^
2. Filled With the Spirit (v. 2). By
the Spirit flie illvlhe energy entered
lilm and enabled him. to execute the
commission given to him.
, J). Ezeklel'e Commission (w. 3-S).
1: The Moral Condition of the People
(vv. 3. 4). (1) A rebellious nation
(\\ 3). This rebellloygness perhaps referred
to their heathen Idolatrous practices
(2) Impudent children (v. 4).
-'Tmrrodent"; literally means "hard of
face."'. It means the grossest perversity
which caused them to stand up In
the presence of. the prophets of God
without a sense of guilt or compunction
of'conscience.
2. The Charge (v. 4).?tte-was-to-deliver
the message of God. He was to
declare, "Thus saith the Lord God."
8. The Difficulty of His Task (vv. 5S).
IIc^WBs to deliver the message of
God whether they would hear or forebear.

message..
l: Eating the Book (2:9-3:0). This
book coutalned God's woes upon the
stiff-necked and rebellious people (t.
10). In order to speak God's threatenings
effectively to others we must Uiwardly
digest and appropriate thera
ourselves.. The eating of the book was
in hls> mouth as hoqey.for sweetness.
Though his ministry was difficult' and
the judgment severe, the prophet was

In order to strengthen Ezeklel fqr -his

brought' to-hls attention, assuring him

Two tilings were required of him:

was God's Word. So today the minister
is to get his niejsage from God.

the minister today. Cases 1?) point for
his guidance (vv. 18-21):
(1). When GqU says to the wicked

the watflrnian fulls to "urn" him, the
wicked man shull die in his iniquity.

(2) If the watchman warn the wick

seeming righteousness will be of . no
avail, hut Ida blood will be required at
the hand of the watchman if he fall to
