Jaynes, Lumber 262.3 r TOTAL $ O (O *, I. The Call of Amos (1:1). Lie was a herdsman and gatherer of sycamore fruit (7:14). As a herds man his income was not sufficient, therefore, he supplemented it by sell ing sycamore fruit. He was not a prophet by succession, neither was he trained in the prophetic schools. He sal not at the feet of any great teach er. God called him from a humble life to stand before the king. A proph et is one who forthtells more espe cially than foretells. His primary work was proclaiming God’s message rather than predicting events to come. II. To Whom Was Amos Sent (1 :!)? God sent him primarily to Israel, the northern nation. Though lie was from Judah, his ministry was to be pri marily to Israel. It was during the reign of Jeroboam II when the north- era kingdom laid reached its highest state of prosperity. This prosperity, as is usually the case, was accom panied with a condition of luxury, cor ruption. and gross wickedness. Ml. Amos* Message. 1. Sins denounced (2:6-8; 6:1-6). (1) Avaricious greed (2:6-8). a. Sold the righleous for silver (v. 6). The Judge for a bribe of silver de clared the innocent to be guilty. b. Sold the poor for a pair of shoes. The word “shoes" doubtless means sandals, the price of which was com paratively small. c. Pants after the dust of the earth (v. 7). The word “pant” means to eagerly desire. So avaricious had these men become that they even grasped after the earth which the downtrodden poor cast upon their heads in mourning Iheir misery. d. Turned aside the way of the meek. These grasping rich Duen turned aside those who did not stand up for their rights. c. Licentiousness (v. 7). It was not merely the case of fall mg into sensuous sin hut indulgence with a definite purpose of Insulting God and dishonoring his holy name. (2) Reckless security (6:1-3). They were living in a “fool’s para- df.-e" and closing their eyes to the ap proaching storm of judgment predicted by rhe prophet. They regarded their city as impregnable. The strength of a nation is its righteousness, not its wealth and armaments. (3) Luxury (vv. 4-0). Their luxury expressed itself in: n. Extravagant furniture (v. 4). They had beds of Ivory, which means perhaps wood Inlaid with ivory. b. Laziness (v. 4). Many stretched themselves on their couches, living lives of indolence. c. Feasted on delicacies (v. 4). They bought what they desired re gardless of its cost. d. Adorned their feasts with music (v. 5). They sang idle songs, even invented musical instruments for this purpose. e. They drank wine (v. G). They drank from bowls, indicating excessive drinking. Though their feasts were adorned with refinement of mus ic. they ended in drunkenness. (4) They failed to grieve for Joseph (v. 0>. Joseph here stands for Ephraim and Martasseh. 2. The remedy proposed (0:4-9). The prophet called upon them to return to God. He said, “Seek ye me and ye shall live." The implication is that while as yet the divine judgments are stayed an opportunity is offered for them to turn to God. “Seek” means applying for help. The time to repent is while judgment is stayed. In their turning to God they were to renounce: (1) Idolatry (vv. 5, 6). They were to turn away from the places of idolatry—Bethel, Gilgal, and Beersheba. God’s judgment was to strike these places. (2) Cease to pervert judgment (v 7). 'fuming judgment to wormwood im plies the bitterness of the perversion of judgment to the injured. (3) Cease to dethrone righteousness. Leaving off righteousness is thought to mean that unrighteousness was al lowed to take Us place. He now for the third time urged them to seek the Lord. Adults Contract Children's Diseases Adults can, and do, contract many children’s diseases. And, usually, they suffer from them much more than children do. For instance, many adult# contract worms, an ailment usually jussociated with children. Sometimes they suffer intensely and take expen sive insdical treatments, without reali zing that worms are the cause of their troubles. # Yet, the symptoms are the same as in children, loss of appetifco and weight, grinding the teed: and rest less sleep, itching of the nose and anus, and abdominal pains. And, the same medicine that surely and harmlessly ex- pels round and pin worms from children will do the same for adults — White's Cream Vermifuge, which yea caa get at STROMS’ DRUG STORE CKJICAKDS McCormick Holiness Church Schedule McCormick —* Preaching service Saturday night before 3rd Sunday at 8 o’clock; third Sunday morning at 10:30 o’clock and third Sunday night at 8 o’clock.
