If the hunter was still following him he would pass along through that hol low In i plailf sight. * For a long time Lightfoot rested comfortaFly behind the pile of brush. There was not a suspicious sound to show that danger was abroad in the Green Forest. He saw Mr. and Mrs. Grouse fly down across the hollow and disappear among the trees on the oth er side. He saw Unc’ Billy Possum looking over a hollow tree and guessed that Unc’ Billy was getting ready to go Into winter quarters. He saw Jumper the Hare squat down under a low, hanging branch of a hemlock tree and prepare to take a nap. He heard Drummer the Woodpecker at work drilling after worms In a tree not far away. Little by little Lightfoot grew easy in his mind. It must be that the hunter had become discouraged and was no longer following him. © T. W. Burgeaa.—WNU Service.

After a while he saw what he was looking for, a pile of Ing season, to save his life. 'If he branches which wood choppers had left were not smart he would have been when they had trimmed the trees they killed long ago. He never makes the | i»ad cut down. This was near the top foolish mistake of thinking that other people are not smart. He knew that that -hunter who had started out to follow him early that morning was not one to be easily discouraged or to be fooled by simple tricks. He had a very great respect for the smartness of a little hill. Lightfoot went up the hill and stopped behind a pile of brush. For a few moments he stood there, perfectly still, looking and lis tening. Then, with, a little sigh of re lief he lay down, where, without being in any danger of being seeaJbimself. of that hunter.

In that case he could rest and stop worrying. It would be | enough money to buy food with, better to know- that lie was being fol lowed than not to know. But how was he to find out? Lightfoot kept turning this over and over In his mind as he traveled through the Green For est. Then an Idea carne to him. “I know what I’ll do.

Kindergarten “Quads” of Detroit The prophet stood In the gate of the temple In order that the multi tudes might bear him. The occasion was the coming together-of the people from all over the country to attend a feast From this place of prominence Jeremiah called the people to obedi ence. I. What God Requires (vv. 1-7). 1. Amend your ways (v. 3), This means that their course of living should be reformed by exchanging bad deeds for good ones. On the basis of this change God would permit them to remain In their city and country. Fail ure to comply with this demand would eventuate In their expulsion. 2. Personal experience (v. 4). The people regarded the temple as a charm against > evil. Irrespective of the cob ditloo of their hearts. Without a heart experience, the most sacred Institution and ordinances are valueless. Trust ing In religious forms while lacking a vital experience la 'the height of folly. 3. Social Justice (v. 5). The proof of their having reformed was the exe cution of justice between man and bis neighbor. The evidence of one’s be ing In touch with God Is his fair deal ing with his fellow men. 4. Not to oppress the helpless (v. 6). The stranger would likely be Ig norant of the laws of the land. The widows and orphani would usually be Imiiosed upon. Protection and defense of the weak la a sure sign of godliness. ft. Not walk after other goda (v. 0). The worship of Idols and conformity to heathen customs go hand In hand. True morality Is determined by the Individual’s attitude toward God. II. Some Solemn Warnings (vv. 8-15). 1. The teachings of false prophets (vv. 8-11). These false prophets taught the people that attention to ceremony and observance of religious form exempted them from strict at tention to moral!. Those who heeded the words of the lying prophets did not hesitate to ateal. murder, commit adul tery, awear falsely, and practice Idol atry. They would even come Into the Lord’s house and claim freedom to practice such abominations. The sa cred temple Itself, filled with such wor shippers, would be a den of robbers. 2. By the destruction of Shiloh (vv. 12-1A). God caused his tabernacle to be set up In Shiloh, but In Ell’s time he gave It Into the hands of the Philis tines because of the Idolatry of the people (Ps. 78:56-00). The prophet declared that God would do even so with the temple, the city and the whole country. This he had already done with Israel and the northern kingdom IIL The Hopeless Condition' of the People (vv. 10-20). Their propensity to do evil strong that all efforts at reclamation were futile. 1. Pray not for them (v. 10). There Is such a thing as sinning onto death, in which case prayer la useless (v. 10; cf. I John S:16). 2. Entire families devoted their en ergies to that which provoked God’s anger (vv. 17-10). This was done by young and old, men and women. They did It with the definite purpose to pro voke God’s anger. The prophet as sured them that the outcome of such conduct would be their otter confusion. IV. Judgment Sure to Fall. (v. 20). Because the people poured out their offerings to Idols, the furious anger and wrath of God would be poured out upon men, beasts, trees and the fruit of the ground. How this has been ful filled the history of the Jews makes clear. V. Obedience to God Better than Sacrifice (vv. 21-26). The prophet appealed to history to show that God requires heart service rather than the observance of relig ious forms. Blessings came to Israel thrpugh obedience, while cursings fol lowed disobedience. On condition of obedience to his requirements God promised to own them as his people and to bless them.
