Tp THE ffiLLOW WITH THE
DINNER PAIL
I do not hate the rich folks who
Live in , pomp and ease;
It's their affair and they say do
In life just as they please;
But when I meet up with a man
Who's going forth to labor
With his dinner bucket in his hand
He seems to me just like a neigh
bor.
No matter if his home he owns.
Or if he only rents;
His daily wage may be five bones,
Or one and fifty cents;
(Yet, when I see him pass along
i With a dinner bucket in his hand
It somehow fills my heart with song
He's like a neighbor, understand?
Sometimes his clothes are torn and
old
And patched in many places.
But yet he with a courage bold
This world of changes faces
He is not sorrowful and sad
But life for him seems happy.
Although the weather's some times
bad,
And the boss is ill and snappy.
He works from morn till six o'clock,
With sweat upon his brow;
Handling lumber, steel 9r rock,
Or following the plow,
He keeps the world agoing on.
Without him work would fail,
So, let us cheer the man along
Who "Totes" the dinner pail.

1. Isaiah's vision of the Lon' (vv.
1-4). l
(1) He saw the Lord on Ois throne
(v. 1). The supreme need of a serv
ant of God is to have a vision of Him.
(2.) He saw the seraphim above
(w. 2, 3). Their position indicated
that they were in readiness to do His
bidding. The six wings showed their
"ability to execute the divine will. One
pair veiled the head from the divine
glory, one veiled the feet which had
been soiled in contact with the world,
while the third was held i? readiness
to depart on the divine errand. Their
continued cry was. "Holy, holy, holy."
(3) He saw manifestations of maj
esty (v. 4).
As the seraphim cried, the very
door posts moved and the temple was
filled with smoke. Smoke symbolizes
the divine presence in anger (Exod.
10 :S ; 29:18). This indicated that the
selfishness, idolatry and wickedness of
Israel had provoked God's 'wrath.
2. Isaiah's conviction of sin (v. 6).
When he saw the vision of the Holy
God, he was smitten with a sense of
sin. The reason men think well of
themselves is that they have never
seen God. Face to face with the Lord,
Isaiah saw himself as wholly vile.
3. Isaiah cleansed from sin (vv.
G, 7). ?
Having been convicted of sin and
made confession, a burning coal sent
from the alter purged away his guilt.
4. Isaiah's call (v. 8).
His call from God did not come un
til after his cleausing. The purged
soul is ready for the Lord's service.
5. Isaiah's dedication (v. 8).
As soon as he was cleansed he re
sponded to the call for service. He
did not Inquire as to the issue, but
freely gave himself to that service.
6. Isaiah's commission (vv. 9-13).
Because of the unpromising outlook,
Isaiah shrank from his responsibility.
The Lord assured him that the peo
ple's blindness and sin would not en
dure forever. They would continue In
sin, be taken Into captivity, and the
land left desolate. Their life, how
ever, would be as the oak which
sheds Its leaves and is for a time
apparently lifeless, but still retains Its
substance.
II. Isaiah's Prophecy Concerning
Assayrla and Egypt (Isa. 20:1-6).
The increasing power of Assyria
alarmed the Jews who were inclined
to turn to Egypt and Ethiopia for
help. Isaiah severely rebuked them
for turning away from God to Egypt
(31 :l-6).
1. The prophet's action (vv. 1, 2).
He removed his outer garments and
walked about Jerusalem as a beggar
In order to make a deep Impression
upon the people.
2. The significance of the sign (vv
3-;o.
For three years he went about In
the dress of a beggar. As he had
wandered about naked and barefoot,
so would Egypt be led away in shame
by the Assyrians.
3. The warning (v. 0).
The people are made to say, "Such
Is our expectation, whither we flee for
help to be delivered from the king of
Assyria: how shall we escape?"
III. Isaiah's Message to Hezekiah
(Isa. 38:1-8).
Hezekiah had Inclined somewhat
toward seeking help from Egypt
1. Hezeki ah's sickness (v. 1).
For this disloyalty God sent sick
ness as a means of chastisement
2. Isaiah's first message (v. 1).
"Set thine house in order for thou
Shalt die and not live." This doubt
less is to be understood as a prophetic
warning rather thtin a positive pre
diction.
3. Her.ekiah's prayer (vv. 2, 3).
He plead with God for considera
tion on the basis of his faithfulness.
4. Isaiah's second message (vv. 4-6).
God sent Isaiah to tell Hezekiah
that his prayer had been heard, his
fife would be prolonged by fifteen
years, and that Jerusalem would be
delivered out of the hand of the king
of Assyria.
5. The sign given (vv. 7, 8).
The sign was the going back of the
shadow of the sundial fen degrees.
