Lesson for May 20: Jeremiah 18:1-10, 15a, 17a. Memory Verse: Hosea 6:1. The lesson includes a period of 350 years, for throughout the his tory of the southern kingdom, ; called Judah, evil influences were at work that led to its downfall. j Judah escaped the early fate of ! Israel by superior advantages—the dynasty of David that continued to , the end, a well-defended capital, . and the temple and worship of Je hovah. But at intervals idolatry crept in, and the corruption usual ly found under wicked rulers brought poverty to the mass of the people and spiritual ruin to the fa vored few. Several good kings and the great prophet Isaiah checked the downward course of the nation only for a time. Jeremiah, in the closing years, condemned the prevailing cor ruption and nearly lost his life in so doing, denounced foreign alli ances, and preached a return to God, but in vain. The figure of the potter’s vessel re-worked into a better showed that God would transform his peo ple and save them from ruin if they would repent, but at last God de clared they had forgotten him (verse 15a) and that he would scat ter them (verse 17a) before the enemy. Not long after Nebuchad nezzar had taken the young king and thousands of the people into Babylonian exile, the petty king who had been set on the throne re belled and in 586 B. C. Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed and the kingdom of Judah ceased. The potter whom Jeremiah saw worked in senseless clay; God works in human hearts, which must be given into his almighty hands if his loving designs are carried out. — ... —* “I've been figuring on a new car soon as the shooting stops." £ "But that auto expert said in the paper that we may have to make our old cars last for 2 or 3 years after victory.
