The occasion was the coming together of the people from all over the country to attend gome feast I. What God Requlrea (vy. 1-7). 1. Amend your wuya (v. 3). Their general course of living Bhould he reformed, bad deeds giving place to good ones. On the basis of this change. Ood would permit them Ito remain In their city and country. Failure to do tbla would eventuate In their expulalon. 2. The folly of trusting In religion* forms (▼. 4). The people regarded the temple as • charm against evil, Irrespective of the condition of their hearts. Without ft heart experience, the moat sacred Institutions and ordinances are vaiue- -ileas * - %... * _ . 8. Social Justice (t. fi). *’ *• 3*- f The proof of their having reformed .Waa the execution of Judgment be tween man and his neighbor. The (proof of one’s being in touch with ,God is hia fuir dealing with his fel- lowmen. 4. Not to oppress the helpless (t. fl). The stranger would likely be ig norant of the laws of the land. The wldowa and orphans could easily he imposed upon. Protection for the weak Is a requirement of godliness. 6. Not walk after other gods (▼. 6). Worship of Idols and conformity to heathen customs go hand In hand. True morality Is determined by the at- jtltude of the Individual toward God. II. Solamn Warnings (vv. 8-15). 1. Teaching of false prophets (vv. 8-11). These prophets taught the people r that attention to ceremony, and ob servance of religious forms, exempted them from strict attention to morals. jTbose tlho heeded the words of the ilylng prophets were not slow to steal, ! murder. commit adultery, swear false ly and practice Idolatry. They would •ven come Into the Lord’s house and ^lalm freedom to practice such abom Inatlons. The sacred temple itself, filled with such worshipers would be 't den of robbers. 2. Warning of Shiloh (w. 12-15). God caused His tabernacle to be set in Shiloh, but in Eli’s time He gave : !t Into the hands of the Philistines be cause of the idolatry of the people. l (Psa. 78:56-00). Even so would He do with the temple, the city and the ’Whole country. This He had already tdone with Ephraim, the northern king- •dom. II. Tha Hopeless Condition of the People (vv. 10-20). . Their propensity to do evil was so ; ltrong that all efforts at reclamation were futile. 1. Pray not for them (v. 16). There is such a thing as* sinning •Unto death, In which case prayer Is fuseless (I John 5:16). 2 Entire families devoted thelr’en- srgles to that which provoked God’s 'anger (vv. 17-10). r > This was done by young and old- linen and women. This they did to provoke God’s anger. He assures them the outcome of such conduct would foe their utter confusion. IV. Judgment to Fall (v. 20). Because the people poured out their Merlnga to Idols, the furious anger knd wrath of God would be poured upon man, beast, tree, and tbe t of the ground. How this has fulfilled, tbe history of the Jews B dear. V.

C., May 13.—Mr. Editor: I enjoyed very much reading the ar ticle published in your paper of May 2nd, “War Reminiscences,” by Mr. H. W. Jones, who is my father’s old friend ard war comrade, and noting what he ha s to say about the part C 10 * H, 17th Regiment, took in the battle of the mine at Petersburg, I wish to say it was my father (the late Capt. W. T. Cave) who made the remark that Mr. Jdnes refers to: “Give it to them, boys—they have, wounded our General,” bo which General Elliott relied, “Never mind me, boys; do your duty.” Father said that admonition of General Elliott had been an inspira tion to him through life to be faith ful to every trust, not only in war but m peace as well. I remember very little of father, he having died when I was three years old. Mother tells me about the things of which she has heard him talk, and this incident wa* ore of them. I wish Mr. Jones and other Wearer** of the Grey would tell us more of their ex periences in this great struggle. I mean the things we do not get from history books. We, as sor.a of Vet erans, want t° know more of what our own fathers did in battle. I am now 15 ye«rs old and if there is a younger boy in the cpurty who is the son of a Confederate soldier I would like to hear from him. J. Mu rice Cave.

Confidence in Prayer And this Is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will. He hearetb us; and if we know that He beareth us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have tbe petitions that we desired of Him.—I John 6:14. 15. No Discharge in That War There is no man that bath power over the spirit to retain tbe spirit; neither hath be power in the day of death; and there la no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to It— Ecclesiastes 8:8. A Neglectod Biblo A neglected Bible means a starved and strengthless spirit, a comfortless heart, a barren life, and a grieved Holy Ghost—F. B. Meyer.
