THE WORlO 5 MOST WIDELY USED DEVOTIONAL CUIDE
Christ's Victory over Death
FRIDAY. APRIL 14
"The last enemy that shall be
destroyed is death." (I Corin
thians 15:26.) Read 1 Corinthi
ans 15.1B-2ti.
The nations wallow in despair
and lie limp in the bonds of fat
alism The message for them is
not just .?n urging to be better and
to try harder. This is precisely
what they cannot do We have
heard it said that just the art
of beinp kind is all the sad world
needs Hut this is just the art
we ean.not learn. This is our fail
ure There must be given in all
earnestness a message of the re
demption r.{ life by One who can
brim: us into the light of eternity. J
We want to come home a^aiii alter
the long v ;ms of wandering in the
wasteland of humanism. We want
God.
No argument will avail in this1
present hour and words hardly
succeed in cleansing of fear the
people's of the world. Men must
see the eternal light breaking
through into their darkness. That
means that it must come out of
the lives and actions of Christ
like men.
Christ has the victory over death.
God now expects us to let the
light of our risen Lord shine
through us so that they who walk
in darkness may see the light.
I'KAYEK
Our Father, we praise Thee for
Thy power over death. We
thank Thee for permitting us to
share through faith in Christ's
victory over Heath. Help us, O
( >od, to live as eternal creatures.
In the Master's name. Amen.
thought for THE DAY
Through faith in Christ 1 can
have life eternal.

The Prophet Arnos Discredited j
STI DV I OK APRIL Hi, 1950
H> W 1 1 1 1 h in Southern, jr.
One of tin; earliest, if not the
earlie . of tiie recorded Old
Testament prophetic utterances,
is entitled "Amos" The prophet
met the late ot those who predict
calamity, was discredited by both
religious and political authorities
and told to go home and prophesy
to his own people Mr carried his
own credentials and solemnly av
erred that the Lord had told him
what to say and where to say it
Hi. favorite introduction was,
"Amos. \Vh.i? Seest Thou?" Then
he ti>Id ot In- talks with God. re
peated what, Jehovah had told him
to say His tune was from 76 'o to
750, B. C.
M tin time there were two
Jewish . Kingdoms. Israel, the
Northern Kingdom, much the
strongest organized at the death
of King Solomon, and taking ten
of the twelve tribes, .tciobomi II.
was King of the Northern King
dom and Uzziah of the Judah
Kingdom.
It was piobably the most prob
perou tune in the history of the
two Kingdoms. Uzziah, according
to the records, was a most unusual
and strong administrator. Jero
boam II had taken over and ex
tended the limits of the Hebrew
holdings as far as Damascus bring
ing the territory of the He
brews, in area, to pretty nearly
the boundaries, and prosperity of
the time of David. Religion in
Israel was also propcrous, the
synagogues well attended and the
ritual never excelled. The High
Priests were the favorites of the
rulers arxl Amaziali held that posi
tion in Israel. Bethel was the seat
of government in Israel and in
Judah. God lived in Jerusalem.
The church contributions had
never before been so libetal nor
the Priests more powerful Rit
ualism in religion was carried out
with great pomp and ceremony
and all the Jewish las? days, holi
days and memorial days were par
aded. The poor were very poor
and the rich, very rich. Amos
charged that real religion had
broken down, that God cared
nothing for parades and ceremon
ies and sacrifices. Luxury and
vice were rampant. The rich lived
in houses of marble and cut stone
and got drunk every day, even
drinking out of great bowls of i
wine instead 'of small glasses and
even getting drunk before noon.
He also charged that justice had
broken down, a verdict could be
brought from corrupt judges for
the price of a pair of shoes, false
weights and measures were com
mon and Amos said to Israel:
"Prepare to meet your God, O
Israel. Let Justice roll down like
water, and righteousness like a
perennial stream.
Thu training and experiences of
Amc:> remind one of the training
and e-xptriences of David. Both
were shepherds and both had a
rough lif* defending their charges
God appeared to these tyo men
as they lay out on the hill sides at
night and looked into the heavens
and wondered what the galaxy of
stars and planets really meant.
Amos lived in the. rough country
about Tekoi, 1- miles _outh of
Jerusalem and about twenty miles
across the border from Bethel, the
capital of Israel, the sheep in
charge of Amoo were a runty
breed whi|ji bore an especiilly
fme fleece, much m demand by
the processors of woolen goods.
Amos augmented his %come by
practicing horticulture and atttnd
ingfo the fig bearing fruits of the
fycamoqi tree. It was not any kin
ttHniun t i ~ j~. ** . jl . ?
to the tree we tall the sycamore
in this country, ghostly white tree,
with spreading limbs and root,
found in Missouri along the river
bottoms.
To find a market for his wool,
-Amos sold his product at the rich
and wicked city of Bethel and it
was here that he prophesied de
struction for Israel, as a kingdom,
and that the King would be killed
in battel. I. can vision Amos as a
soap box orator, gathering to
gether a crowd mostly of the poor,
and prophesying destruction be
cause the Kingdom had made a
mess of the religion of the He
brews and telling them that Jet
hovah despised such religion and
denounced the methods of the
courts, the oppression of the poor.
The High Priest Amaziah railed
Amos on the carpet and told him
to go hack to Jerusalem and proph
esy to his home town and let theiii
alone. They probably rode him out
of town on a rail and perhaps
tarred and feathered him. In less
than thirty years Jeroboam was
killed and the Kingdom of Israel
was overrun and the people scat
tered over the then known world.
Amos denounced the luxury and
vice as a product of synthetic

of course. At this time the two
Kingdoms were at the height of
prosperity, everybody had Jobs,
the synagogues were never so pips

Amos begged the ruins to hold J
to the laws of (?od and to main- 1
lain righteousness and to cease op

(iliac* when the people did not seem j

right an?l wrong. They sought j
amusements and pleasure and
drunkenness instead of righteous

LESSON TEXT. Amos 7:7-15;
8: 1 3.
(7) Thus he shewed me: and be
hold. the Lord vstood upon a wall [
made by a plumbline. with a
plumbline in his hand. <8) And the
Lord said unto me, Amos, what |
seest thou? And I said, A plumb- 1
line. Then said the Lord, Behold j
I will set a plumbline in the
midst of my people Israel: 1 will
not again pass by them any more:
(9) And the high places of Isaac
shall be desolate, and the sanc
tuaries of Israel shall be laid
waste; and I will rise against the
house of .Jeroboam vvitli the sword ;
<10) Then Atnaziah the priest of j
Bethel sent t ?> Jeroboam king of j
Israel, saying. Amos hath con ;
spired against thee in the midst i
of the house -of Israel: the land
is not :?hle to bear all his words,
ill) For thus Amos saith. Jero
boam shall die by the sword, and j
Israel shall surely be led away |
?captive out of their own land. (12) j
Also Ama/iah .said unto Amos, O
thou seer, go flee thee away into I
the land oi Judah, and there eat i
bread, ami prophesy there: (l.'l)
But prophesy not again any more at |
Bethel: lor it is the king's chapel,
and II is the king's court. (14) [
Then answered Amos, and said to
Ainaziah. I was no prophet, neith
er was I a prophet's son: but \
wa>s an herdman, and a gatherer
of sycamore fruit (15) And the
I, ord took me as I followed the
llock. and the Lord said unto me, j
Go, prophesy unto my people Israel
( I ) 'flm.> hath the Lord shewed un
to me: and behold a basket of
summer fruit <2) And he said.
Amos, what seest thou? And I said
A basket of summer fluit Then
said the Lord unto me. The end
js come upon my people of Israel.
I will not again pass by them any'
more. (.'I) And the songs of the
temple shall be bowlings iu that
day. saith the Lord God; there
shall be howluigs in that day, saith
the Lord God. there shall be many
dead bodies in every place: they
shall cast them forth with silence.
