Golden Text: “I waited pa- tly for Jehovah: and he in- tie clined unto me, and heard my or! Pealm, 4 BY REV. HUGH T. STEVENSON. Last week our lesson revealed Elijah, conquering king. pries and people in a contest that ended with the conversion of a nation to Je- hovah. This week reveals him as a ency. Ildolatry was crushed by the prophet’s victory on Carmel, but the estroyed. Like many modern revivals, It start- ed but did not complete the religious life of the converts, who professed faith in Jehovah as God. In the Master's great commission he out- lined three steps in the development of the Christian _life—conversion, confession and conformation. I i8 more difficult to secure & right life than it is to start people on the right way. The stalwart champion of re- form had to learn this lesson in the school of bitter disappointment. When the contest with the prophets ot Baal was ended, the prophet pour- ed out his soul in prayer for: rain. With the appearance of the coming showers that would break the drought and restore prosperity to Israel, Ell- jah made a record marathon race to Jezreel. He paced the fifteen miles before the king's chariot, expecting that both Jezebel and the capital city would acknowledge the suprem- acy Jehovah immediately upon their learning of the details of the dramatic contest upon Carmel. In- stead of repenting and renouncing Baalism, the success of Elijah served only to arouse Jezebel's religious fanaticism and savage temper. The prophet was not prepared for that de- ccision, which reached him with the queen's threat to take his life within twenty-four hours. He had exhaust- ed his physical and nervous strength. so he fled for his life until he got beyond her influence and power. Wa-ought not to condemn the proph- because he tried to save his life, or. Jesus taught His disciples when erdecuted in one city to flee to a If God had suggested to El Jah - that he tarry he would have tayed at Jezreel, faced the angry gelebel and fought another battle. ‘Without direction to his duty, he hastened to Bee eba, ninety-five miles south, where he left hls serv- ant, who was probably Jonah, the son of the widow of Zarephath. Driven , the disappointed prophet went another day's journey intq the wilderness of Paran, where, beneath the wild broom plants With their clouds of red blossoms. Elijah suf- fered a complete collapse. He was physically, mentally, nervousl spiritually exhausted by the s of the conflict, the journey to Jezreel, the shock of disappointment and his flight into the derness. Complete- 1y unnerved. he begged to dle. The cry of despair was due to the influence of his bodily condition upon his mind and of his mental condition upon his soul. He thought that he was a failure. He saw only the dark side of his life and labor. In his despondency Elijah reveals that he vas “a man of like passion with us, whom God had called to do His work. The glory of Christianity is that our Lord can use those whose lives have been marred by disabilities of sin to icarry on His work. The prophet’s triumphs, like those of Christian service, were due to the spirit of God. In that lonely hour he needed the presence of a osympathetic friend to help him see his work from a proper perspective, so that he might realize that no gigantic evil is ever destroyed by a single blow and that a_well{ intrenched wrong is never abolished in a single day. When the prophet called for death, God drew mnear to cure his despondent servant by means of rest, refresh- ment and recall to spiritual service that awaited his return to duty. God's method of treatment of the despairing prophet points out the way we can best ald those who are de- pressed because they have neglected some of the laws of nature. Not & | single word of reproof was adminis- tered to: Elijah. He was not given vice. The messenger of God went to the root of his trouble and com- menced to correct it. He was physi- cally exhausted, therefore he needed rest, so Re commenced the work of restoration by .giving him restfut sleep that builds up a body like, the cogal insects lift the islands of the sea in silence and darkness.

The journey to Sinai brought Elijah to the site where God had re- vealed Himself unto Moses. . The cura: tive effects of nature, under the bless. ings of the messenger of God, had pre- ared the prophet for a revelation of 'ehovahin that historic environment. ‘The vision brought a recall to the line o duty. ‘When Elijah _reached 'the cave, ‘where, possibly, Moses had stood cen- turies before, the prophet experienced the strangest manifestations of na- ture, that helped him answer the ques- tion of Jehovah, “What doest thou Dbere, Elljah?” When the storm swept | with' its wind; when the earth shook with the movement of the earth- quake and falling of the rocks, and when the flames of fire leaped upward, d: The storm, earthquake and fire did not contain the revelation which he needed.

BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS. Sometimes called “the miracle of modern missions,” Korea, which is vainly hammering at the door of the conference for a hearing, has a hold upon the interest of church folk in America which is not equaled even by s missionary support Is perhaps her most powerful backing in the conference. Nothing in connection with the present meet- ing is more romantic than the appeal | ha of Korea, a nation which within forty years has become more nearly Chris- tianized than any other oriental countr; America not only opened the “her- mit nation"” to the world, but she ala gave it the new religion which is pri- y marily responsible for the unique in- } dependence movement that claims conslderation by the delegates here. Of the 483 foreign missionaries in Korea, 386 are American, all of them, excepl a soore. representing the Pre: byterian and Methodist churches. By the modern missionary method of ap- ortionment of territory these two d nominations have the Korean fleld a most wholly to themselves; and they, in turn, subdivide the country, so that there is no sectarian competition, but only co-operation. Genius for Christianity. Korea from the first displayed a positive genius for Christianity. The fact that there are today almost a hundred thousand communicant mem- bers of the churches, with a Christian constituency many times as grea tells only part of the story the missionaries themselvea are found at but fifty-seven centera, there are 626 organized churche: ith 2,312 other centers at which reg- services are held, and 2,334 Sunday schools. More interesting than these re- markable figures is the way in which the Koreans themselves undertook to spread Christianity. While there are 2,212 trained native helpers of the missionaries, ‘the number of volun- teer evangelists and “personal work- ers” has been almost coextensive with the church roll. Every family in the entire land of Korea has been reached by systematic and simulta- neous Christian canvass. The largest Bible classes and the largest prayer meetings in all the world are in Korea. ne church, that of Pyeng Yang, has swarmed” more than a score of times. American churches and American Christian literature have rung with stories of the devotion and courage and piety of Korean Christians.
