V GOLOEIJ TEXT—Seek good and not •vil, that ye, may live, and so the Lord the God of host, shall be with you as ye have spoken. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Punishment of Sin. , JUNIOR TOPIC—What God Think, of Sin. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP- —Why the Drink Traffic Is Pro hibited. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Intemperance and Associated Evil a ~ Amos, a shepherd and tradesman (Amos 7:14, 15) was called to proph- 'MJ r for God. He was neither In the prophetic line, nor trained in the pro phetic schools. I. The Sine of Judah (2:4, 5). In the first part of the bookj^mos sets forth judgments upon the sur rounding nations. The aim, doubtless, was to show that there is no escape from God’s judgment The' nation or individual that sins shall surely be - Judged (Num. 32:23). 1. They despised the law of the Lord. To despise means to spurn, to dis regard. To despise God’s law is a sin directl^ against God. There is no es cape from judgment for such as do this. (Heb. 10:23. 29). 2. Failed to keep the Lord’s com mandments (▼. 4). Disobedience logically follows the despising of God's law. It not only robs of blessings in this life, but re- aults in erernal destruction (II Thess. 1:7-10). ' 3. Lies catjjed them to err (v. 4). Because they despised God's .law they fell Into lying errors. Doctrine and conduct. are inseparable. -Think ing wrong precedes doing wrong. 4. Judgment upon Egypt (v. 5). This was literally fulfilled a century and a half later In the capture of Je rusalem by the Chaldeans. II. Tha Sint of Israel (2:6-8.) * The message of the prophet now comes directly to the northern king dom. 1. “Sold the righteous for silver" (v. 6). The judge, for a bribe of silver, de clared the Innocent to be guilty. 2. “Sold the poor for a pair of shoes’" (v. 0). Likely this refers to the practice of selling Into slavery the debtor who could not pay for a pair of shoes which had been sold to him on time. 3. “Pants’* after the dust of the earth on heads of the poor (v. 30). The word "pant* means to eagerly desire. So avaricious had these men become that they even grasped after the earth which the down-trodden poor cast upon their heads In mourning be cause of their misery. 4. Turned aside the way of the meek (v. 7). These grasping rich men turned aside the meek; that Is, those who ^-onld not stand up for their rights. 5. Licentiousness (v. 7). So notorious were the Immoralities practiced that they were eyen guilty of Incestuous prostitution. This was not merely the case of falling Into gensnona sin, but was Indulged In with the definite purpose of insulting God, provoking His holy name. - 6.
