Micah 4:3. (Lesson Text: Micah 4:1-5; 5:2-5) .Micah was a peasant, living about twenty miles west of Jerusalem. He wrote in the last decades of the eighth century B. C. Like Amoa and Hosea, he denounced the hypo crisy and social evils of his day. We know very little of Micah's life and surroundings beyond what we have in his book. Living in a small town named Moreshethgath, Micah was afforded excellent advant ages in the making of a prophet: Direct contact with nature; the juietness and remoteness which made possible deep study; the opportunity of viewing public affairs from a dis tance and thus securing a correct es timate and a fuller appreciation of the problems of the downtrodden and oppressed. While Micah was not a prophet in a professional sense, he was confi dent that his call came direct from God, for he declared, "I am full of power by the Spirit of Jehovah, and of judgment, and of might, to de clare unto Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin." His book seems to be a collection Of notes taken from his public pro phecies. Micah probably realized the fact that the people, so deep in sin and indlffterent to his messages would not profit from them, so he wrote down some of the prophecies concerning the Jews in the hope that ha would reach a wider circle of .people at that time and in the future. The Book denonunces Israel, holds & premise to the faithful remnant, predicts the captivities, announces the birthplace of our Lord. It con demns the oppressors of the poor, the deceitfulnes3 of the poor, the rulers who were corrupt and venal, the judges who made justice a sham, and a shame, and such similar evils. Dr. H. C. Moore declares Micah's message for his time, which is a masterly message for the men of our time, to be seven-fold: 1. Right is alwavs right. 2. The poor must have a chance. 3. Prosperity is based on morality. 4. Confidence is won by righteousness. 6. Rise after every fall. 6. Life is an open book before God. 7. The Golden Age is ahead. Even in his day, more than two thousand years ago, Micah saw vis ions of the perfect day, when war should be no more, when the peoples of the earth would live in brotherly love and the Lord would reign over the new heaven and the new earth forever and ever. Every generation which has ever lived has looked for ward to a warless world, but, so far, every generation has looked in vain. A reliable historian has declared that there have been only 327 years of peace during four thousand years of recorded history. And yet man always dreams of the day when the peoples of the earth can beat "their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks" for na tions will no longer lift up a sword against another nation, for they do not desire to learn of war any more. How can such a day become possi ble how can peace become endur ingt When men all men accept the teachings of Micah, as outlined Tough going calls for extra power! In circuses the elephants are brought up to support the horses. In railroading extra engines are hooked on. What about farming? Average fertilizers can't supply peak load power to the crops. The urgent need for LOW growing costs and the best of quality calls for extra power . . . fertilizer that supplies rich nitrogen, phos phorus and potash, plus the EXTRA PUSH of added Calcium, Mag-' nesium and other elements. Remember . . . you get all this plus power in SWIFT'S RED STEER FERTILIZERS. ) NOH-ALKALI F0RMIN6 in the ' men points above and put into practice the teachings of Christ as expounded in the Sermon on the Mount, especially with regards to the Golden Rule. Selfishness, individual and national, is the primary cause of misunderstandings and wars, The desire to get for one's self or one's country that which rightly belongs to another is the underlying michief- maker. When men and nations reach the place where they are wiling to do unto outers as they would that others should do unto them, then peace will become possible in this hid world.
