Lore’s most vivid conceptions of Dante’s hell and Ho garth’s most horrible caricatures of degradation and vice and Vassili Ve- i resehagin's most realistic scenes of the blood soaked battlefields of the Turkish and Russian war cannot eoai- | pare in horror with the terrible sights j that have been witnessed when mad dening famine gets in its work.

Give us rain, or we die!” were tha universal pleadings. But no raiw^came. On account of King jUiab's sUiiTbod had decreed that bo rain was te descend upon Palestine hille and vaHeys for Jhree long years. We loaye the hills aud the valleys of the inferior. We come down totfasd the^ Mediterranean shore, to the beaa- tifwl eitg of Zarqphath, situated near to Tyre and Siddh. There we flud' -tho desolation a'lipalling. The horses, cat tle' and bbeep^diod months ago. The drought has already lasted -two long years. The rattle had no food to ifve on. T%oy.had.to die. The, grass and the wheat hadjoog store disappeared. Men and women arid children were dy ing by the ^scoivh* andCthe hundreds. Fever-and scurvy'were every- day add ing to the death list. Tiie whole city was becoming one great charnel house. The fields \?h(»re once grew the har vest wew* as hard as balyed and crack ed clay. As 1 stand in lmaguMitio& upon the oat^kirts of the city, amid thepe sceiics/of desolation and death, I see « humVIt* woman, weak and tot tering, gathering a few sticks to hvtld a fire. Along comes a tall, gaunt, dig nified man. He looks like a born load er of men. He accosts Ui^wotuan aotneftiiug like tills: They Were Starvlnc- “Woman, I pray tkee ( . hasten and bring me drln’k.” She turns to do his bidding. Then in a matter of fact way this , stranger says, "Brina me, I pfty thee,fa morsel of bread inAhine hand.” He practically says, “When you go for w^tor bring a little food too.” The woman, weak and tottering from star vation, turns and looks at him in amazement. Thca she speaks in this •wise: “Man, what are you talking about? Are you mad? We are starv ing. We are dying. The dead in our streets lie unburied! I have starved a«d starved. I have cut the daily sup ply of food, down and down, until nov we are at the end. 1 have but a hand ful of meal andia little oil. I am going to cook this for my son, and then we shall both lie' down and die.” With that Elijah the Tisbblte said: “Woman, do as I say and God will take care of thee. For thus saith the Lord, The, barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the erase of oil'fail, until the da/ the Lord sendeth raki upon the face of the earth.” Buch is the simple s£pry of how God saved the poor widow and her son during the Zarephath famine, because she was willing to do what God’s prophet commanded. The Zarephath famine, in the first place, teaches that the good and the in- Bocent must conjointly suffer from the evil results of the deeds of the bad. Sir Walter Scott’s business partners did wrong. The innocent Sir Walter Scott had to suffer. The owner of Ab botsford bad to shoulder $600,000 debt. The son-in-law of Francois Grevy prov ed to be a scoundrel. Innocent Fran cois Grevy had to resign the presi dential chair of France because his son-in-law, Wilson, was convicted of selling the decorations and the offices of the government for cash. The April shower falls upon the Just and the un just, upon the wheat and the tares alike. The evil deeds of a husband curse not only himself, but his wife and his children also. When the way ward Ilebgfiv prince was bung, David, the broken hearted father, went to bis “chamber over the gate and wept, and as he went thus be said: ‘O my son Absalom, my son, my son, my son Ab salom! Would God I had died for tbe^ O Absalom, my son, my sonf ” The prodigal In bis rags and in dis grace in the far country tending the herd of swine, sharing with them their fodder nnd chewing the husks thrown to the ‘ four footed, unclean, filthy beasts, is not more pathetic than the mourning parent, waiting and watch ing for his youngest boy to come back home. Yes, yes; sin brings the famines which afflict the good and the bad, the Innocent and the guilty alike. The evil deeds of an Ahab and a Jezebel caused the poor widow of Zarephath and her only son to starve. Cannot you find any ^direct connec tion between the sins of Ahab’s palace and the hunger gnawing at this poor widow’s vitals? We ascend the beauti ful hills of Samaria. We find there a heathen temple. We find there the king’s palace, a place ef licentiousness and immoral filth and drunken carous als. Then we hear the prophet say: “Abab and Jezebel, on account of your sins I will send a drought upon the laud. For three long years not a drop of rain shall fall.” “Aha,” laughed the sinful monarch, “I am not afraid! Such a beautiful country and such rich farm land as ours will never be turned into a desert. Threatening prophet. I defy thee!” But day after day the hot sun burned. Day after day, week after week, month after month, no rain or dew. Two long years of drought had passed over tiie land. The vineyards I were gone. The harvests were gone. The orchards were gone. God was starv- i ing Ahab ami Jezebel. But while he was starving the king and queen the poor widow and her only son were also suf fering in the Zarephath hut. The sins of'the fathers are visited upon the chil dren even unto the third and the fourth gancnUions. Ine good aud the innocent suffer for the evil deeds of the corrupt aud tne befouled. O man, be not :vn Ahab'! O woman, do not become a | Jazebel! Avoid tho sin which will bring a curse and blight on the hearts of the innocant ones by your side as well as on your own dives. i Leaaoa of the 1'anilne. i ’Hiis eastern famine teaches us an other lesion. 1 od always honors the i men and the vomen who honor bis ! messengers. tie honored this poor starring wldo r of Zapephath. Why? She was read - to car* for au^l house his ambasssi'or, Elijah the Tishbite. He honored ! abali the harlot. She se- croted* the s cs^that Joshua sent to Jericho. lit honored Abraham. Abra ham welcom 'd t® hla table the three angels who came to his that on the plains of Mature. He honored N§a- maa. Naaman was ready to obey the **mmands of Elisha. He honored Da vid. David wept befwe Nathan.'' He boaored Hezekiab. Hezekiah honored Isaiah. All through the Bible you can find this mighty and far reaching law enuaciated v and^ illustrated whereby God blessos those who honor his repre sentatives and denounces those who dosplsc or turn their backs upon bis aanbassadors. The teaching* of tho Old and New Testament in this respect are^one. In the Psalms we rpad, “Touch not mino anointed and do my prophetsmo hasm.” Then, as an indorsement, we find the following in Mirtthew in reference to Christy mitsLdnarios, spoken by Jesus hlmseff: “And whosoever shalLnot re ceive you, itor hear your words, whea yo depart out of that bouse you shall shake off^tho duet of your feet. Veri ly, I eay unto you, it shall be more ter rible for the land of 8miom and Go- monrahyfB tho day of judgment than for that city ” But though God bids us honor bis reproontalives, aa the Zare phath woman honored and cared fer Elijah, yet today there seems to' be a tendency abroad to criticise and de nounce God's minister* and to patron izingly ridicule them a great deal more than you would any other class of men. The result is that scores and hundreds' of young men who ought to be preaching in the pulpit have been turned aside because of the way some congregations ureat their ministers. Whet They Wanted. In the first place, many churches are simply starving their preachers to death while they themselves demand all the exoellenciM of earth and heav en in their pastors. Rev. Dr. Haven some tirncTigo told about a'letfer which a Virginia parish sent to Professor Rice, requesting a minister. “The peo ple,” this loiter declared, “want a man of first class endowments.” They wanted a literary preacher, for seme of the young people were literary. They wanted a minister who would visit a good deal, for their former pas tor had neglected to do as much ot that as they could have wished. They wanted a man of winsome and fasci nating social personality, for the peo ple thought a good deal of that. They wanted h good organizer as well as » fine orator. After they had gone on describing the kind of a perfect min ister they wished, they ended the letter in this wise: “We have been paying our last minister $330 a year, but if you could send us just the kind of a man we want we think we can raise his sal ary $50 more and give to him $400 a year.” With that. Dr. Rice sat down and wrote the following ironical letter to this exacting congregation: Dear Friend*—Your letter received and content* carofufiy noted. I know Just the minister you need, if you can gat him. Make out a call to Dr. Timothy Dwight, late president of Yale college, who is now In heaven. He is the only being I know who can meet all yodr requirements. And as Dr. Dwight has been living so long in heaven on spiritual food perhaps he may not need any material food and could therefore easily exist on your salary of MOO per year. Then study how some minister* are ill treated in other ways in some coun tries. God never spiritually blesses a country, a church or au individual that i* not willing to honor, respect and care for his ambassadors, as the Zarephath widow cared for Elijah the ! Tisbblte. Yet to hear some men talk you would think they were conferring j an honor upon a preacher or a kind ness on a pastor merely because they ivmie to ''hurch at all. Joseph Parker once denounced the supercilious way some men have of looking down upon and despising the ministry. “A per son once asked «4ne to lend him $5,” said he, “on the ground that he had long attended my ministry. Possibly the man richly deserved a sovereign for having done so. At the same time. It is n popular mistake to suppose that the minister is the party receiving the favor. He gives his hearers his best thinking, his best powers of all kinds, and It Is, therefore, a pity to show him thankfulness by borrowing money of him.” And. my friends, I go further than that; I assert that I never found any men or women a practical bit of use in church work or in any spiritual line unless they not only honored the ministry, but respected ministers when they stood in the pulpit expounding the word of God. “One of the Itanda- mental reasons why old Scotland be came the spiritual power dt was and is,” said John McNeil, “Is because old Scotland respected the ministry.” May God help us to honor God’s representa tives or messengers or ambassadors or clergymen, a-s the Zarephath widow honored Elijah the Tishbite. An Hoar of Anxiety. But as I come to the outskirts of Zarephath and feel the hot winds strike my cheek and look off at the bleak hills and tiie grassless valleys and see the bones of beast and bird bleaching on the dry sands I see that this “eastern drought” had a famine within a famine. No sooner did Elijah appear and give to the Zarephath widow her dally supply of meal and oil than I think I can hear her heave a great sigli of relief. ”Ah,” she says. “mow I know my boy is not going to die!” ?he felt just ns you ^felt when a dear friend was put upon the operat- | lug table. The dreaded morning came. You ovurtudowa bright aud early to the bospijal. She lay in bed a little flushed an ’ her eye bright. Neither you nor she made any reference to the danger, but j,u*t as tho doctors and nurses came into the room, dressed^in white aprons, to give the anaesthetic she flung her arun about your neck and whispered: “Goodhy, dear friend. If 1 den’t wake up. goodhy, gaodby!” Oh. yes; yeiv remember that day! They carriedpher out on the stretcher. The door of that awful operating room was shut. You could not see: you dare not go in. You walked up a*d down tire hall, up nnd^down. You convulsively clasped your Lauds. You kep\saying. “O- God, save her! O God, give me hack my darling! O God, save her. save her! Give her hack t* N me!” Ihen^you remember the c thankful prayeT you uttered when the doctor opened the door and putabls head out of the room aud said: “Sire ia all right Everything is all right.” This was the feeling of relief vmd gratitude of yonder mother of Zare phath slid knew tha* her boy was hot going to starve to deatlL The dan ger of starvation was past. We can see the boy growing fat ant iflump. The mother’s step has become strong and elastic. As (lie lad plays before her door we can *ee her smile a* she hears his happy laugh. Mefhinks, per haps. she ha* been growing a little cavalCs* ari l forgetful of late'toward God, as some of us do whto we are surrounded by many apparently per manent blessings. Suddenly the long arm of death reaches through the open ed window of this woman’s hut. The arm may be covered with flesh. The arm nfray not n skeleton from starva tion. but it is the any of death. With in a few, hours the child is dead. At once,the widow goes to Elijah and begs of him/ by the power of God', to re store iMto her the life of her boy. Eli jah. by God’s power, does so. What Is the practical observation? ftannot yon grasp In every drought of Zer«- phufh there is a famine within a fatfline. there,is always a death within a'deatb, a temptation within a temptation. If you and I are ever going to be spiritual ly safe we must always keepjjving near to God, else the second death will l*e as bad as the first death. When the first moral or spiritual dangers of life are past it is easy to blind our eyes to the second and the third and the fourth and the tenth aud (he twentieth peril. “Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” Here, for instance, is a man who for years has been addicted to in toxicating drink. He has fought It aud fought it until at last by the grace of God he has triumphed. But though for years he has never tasted a glass ef liquor he ha* become so absorbed in making money that he has gradually drifted away from walking with God. One day he has an awful awaken ing. He finds that big faith In Jesuit Christ is gone or that his only boy, who is now more to him than his life, is a drunkard, a libertine or a thief. This is a danger he never dreamed about or guarded against. Famine within famine; death within death. And so my friends, no matter bow many dan gers God has rescued us from in the past, that is no reason why we should turn our backs upon God now. Like the poor widow of Zarephath, we must live and continue to live close to God, for there are moral and spiritual dan gers everywhere we turn and every where we look. Lasted aa Lone as Heeded. But did you ever stop to consider how long this supply of meal and oil lasted? Just as long as the famine lasted. No more, no less. No sooner did the rain descend upon the earth and the orchards began to give forth their fruits aud the gardens their vege tables and the fields their harvests than this mira<-u)ous supply of food stopped as suddenly as the manna of the wilderness ceased when the chil dren of Israel j,;;«sed over the Jordan Into the promised laud. When man can help himse f Clod always expects him so to do. God never takes care of a man who is not willing to help take care of himself. Metblnks I can hear a conversation between two lazy men of the Isracdit- Isb |irmy the day after 'hey had passed over into the promised laud. Joshua was sending forth his foraging parties to provide food for the encampment. “Oh,” says one of these men to the other, “there may be lots of rich grapes around here and lots of deer and birds, but I guess I will not hunt after them. Hunting always makes me tired. Come, let’s go out and get the manna. The manna is good enough for me. We do not have to work for that.” And so they go forth to collect their dally sup ply. What has happened? For the first week day In over forty years the ground Is tiare. God never helps a man when he can help himself. Aud so metblnks I can see this poor wid ow after the gardens are moistened with the rain say to her son, “Come, my boy, let us go out and get the din ner.” But w’hen she looks into the barrel It is empty. Then she looks into the cruse, and the oil is gone. God said, “The barrel of meal shall not waste nor the cruse of oil fall until the day the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth.” God never helps a man when he is able/to help himself. Standing by Zarephftth of tha east, art* you ready to go to work iin God’s vineyard and do the best you can for God? Showers of blessings are fall- isg everywhere arduud ss. Are you i ready to give up /our life to the serv ice of the Master? Remember that when this^poor widow gave to Elijah of the little she had there was not only enough for the Tishbite, but also enough left! for herself and Wr boy. Are you ready to give your all for Christ and irust him fhat lie will care and provide for you? Are you ready to give of'yeur portion to kelp others who need- it sorely, like those poor farmer folk in famine stricken Japan? The reason some of us do not grow in spir itual life is because we expect God to do all, and we are not willing to give I all. T* thy yruse of comfort failing? Rise and share it wit/h another, And through all the year* of famine It shall serve thoe and Wiy brother; Love divine will fill thy storehouse Or thy handful still renow. Scanty f ire for one will often make A royal fthst for two. Aud who was this Zarephath wo man? W’as she a Hebrew? Wn-s ahea believer in the true God? Oh, no; not in the beginning. She was a native of a city of Kidon. 'Hist city was not'a Hebrew province. She was a gen; ie. In dther words, whsn Elijaji spoke to Urfs widow of Zarephath'he beaame, as Dr. Lightfoot expresses It. “the first prophet- to Hi* gentiles.” Today, like Elijah, I seem to be appealing npt only to those who tove Ch?ist, but also to those who mre of Shlon, or outside of the church of God. Like this woman of Zarephath, will you receive me a* fije messenger of God? Will you ac cept my Kkviour as jqpur Srfviour,? May we, In famine of sin, be auecored and^savsd bjr the God of Eli jah, Hie God who saved lire poor widow of Zarephath. fCopyrighrt. ISM.
