STEVENSON. ELIJAH, THE BRAVE RE- FORMER. I Kings, 17.1-9,21; 21.1-39; 1II Kings, 1.1-2,12. (A Survey of Eiljah’s Life.) Golden text—Choose you this day whom' ye will serve.— Joshua, 24.15. Elijah, the brave reformer entered the public arena abruptly. He was without Qquestion the greatest re- liglous personality that had appeared among the Hebrews since the days of Moses, the founder of the nation. His sudden appearance in the court with his message of denunciation and warning came at an hour when the corrupt public officlals opposed any prophetlio interference with the affairs of state. They held with some mod- ern men that it is the function of the minister to deal only with re- ligious questions. In demanding that the prophet be indiferent to the com- mercial and political life of his time they forgot that every public ques- tion s a moral one and that back of every moral problem there was & re- ligious one, Elljah appeared with dramatioc sud- donness in an hour when the religion of Isracl was imperiled by the mvlq development of idolatry supported by the liberal gifts of the state, due to the influence of Jezebel, whose zeal for the faith of Baalism, which was a debasing religlon that was cor- rupting the people by its vile rites, threatened the nation's life. Elijah evidently saw, ns Wellhausen has ex- pressed it, that “Baal and Jehovah represented, so to speak, a contrast of principles, of profound and ulti- mate practical convictions. Both could not be right, nor could they exist side by side. For him there existed no plurality of divine powers, operating with equal authority in different spheres, but everywhere one holy and ‘mighty being, who revesled himself, not in the lifo of nature, but in those laws by which alone human soolety is held together, in the ethical de- mands of the spirit." When the Iimpulelve reformer abruptly entered Ahab's court de- manding of the king that idol wor- ship be abolished and warned all of the dancer of perishing, as the reeult of a famine, the brave prophet made by his warning an appeal to the na- tion. - Elijah, the champlon of faith, placed his hopes for ultimate success upon the verdict of the people. He staked his mission and message upon the sign of famine, that would prove beyond question to the nation that he was a prophet of God. The ful- fillment of his prophecy would be ac- cepted by the nation as his creden- tials. The man who had tried to master Ahab by physical power was conquered by the very weapons he had determined to use as his Instru- ments to master the nation. He suf- fered from a nervous breakdown at brook Cherith, although God had in a mjraculous manner provided for the prophet's needs. Great souls fre- quently have hours of depression, when they pass from the mountain tops of faith to the lowest abyss of unbelief. God rebuked the faithless fear and despair of the prophet by sending him to a heathen woman to teach him a lesson of faith. The prophet hated the Sidonians. It was their idolatry that he had condemned in Israel. She taught Elijah, as the Lord’s reference would Indicate, the nearnoss of God to all nations and people. Her attitude toward the needy prophet is one of the finest ex- amples of unselfish faith to be found in_the Scriptures. In due time, as a result of his in- timacy with Jehovah, Elijah came back to Israel fllled with courage, born of an enlarged faith and fellow- ship with the Lord while sojourning in the Sidonian widow's home. Al- though there was a price upon his head, he did not hesitate to meet the EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. king and his court, for his confidence in God's protection left no room in his heart for the fear of any man He became for a time the master of the nation. He risked everything upon the test by fire. He challenged the followers of Baal to & unique con- test that would prove beyond ques- tion the supremacy of Jehovah. While the challenge was issued to Baal's fol- lowers, it was an appeal for the peo- ple to quit their idolatry and hypo- critical methods of religious life, The contest between the priests of Baal and Elijah upon Mount Carmel is one of the most dramatic scenes in human history. The strange contrasts, the intense competition, the fallure and the victory of Elljah, with the ter- rible punishment crowning all, gives us a pleture of epic sublimity that unsurpassed In romance or literature. The wondertul triumph of the prophet of Jehovah appeared to be so great that he thought he could claim that he had won the allegiance of the na- t18n for God in one day. He concen- trated all his powers in an effort to destroy Baallsm and win the country for the worship and work of the Lord. When he faced the reaction of the struggle upon Mount Carmel, the brave prophet once more broke down. He could not stand the strain any longer and in his despondency asked to die. None knew better than Jehovah Elijah’s needs, so he gaye him sleep and then carried the prophet to Horeb, that he might give to His servant a true estimate of his work. He had been too confident of himself at Car- mel. He, from sincere motives, had ordered the priests of Baal to be destroyed. Violence always helps the czuse that It seeks to trample, o that the blood of martyrs becomes the seed of the cause. When Elljah faced the unexpected opposition from Jeze- bel and others, without doubt it was his inner man that rose against him- self. God gavo sleep and food to provide for the physical strength for the journey to Horeb, where, amidst the silence of the mountain, unbroken by the note of a bird, Jehovah re- vealed to Elijah hls own stormy self by means of the wild wind, the shak- ing of the earth, the tumbling of the rocks. The man who had sought death beneath the juniper tree was born again by God's revelation of the prophet's stormy self. Elijah had thought that his work was a fallure and that he was unfit to serve Je- hovah. The Lord cannot make much use of men until they have had 2 similar experience. The old Elijah died that night in the mouth of the cave upon Mount Horeb. The new Elijah was filled with polse that enabled him to face the problems of life with more hope in adversity and with more meroy in prosperity.” His ministry was marked by a different character. The burn- ing reformer becomes the teacher and champion of social justice. He recog- nized that time had to be considered in changing the character of arna- tion. He did not depend upon. the spectacular method to sweep: the country into a decision to take the Lord’'s side. He adopted the slower but sure method of securing & trained force with which to destroy the works of the enemy. He counted upon the efMciency of the Holy Spirit. He showed another change in his character after his experience at Horeb. He no longer attempted to do the task of reforming the nation or doing his work alone, for he sought in Elisha a spiritual friend, who be- came the comrade of his heart and successor. He selected Jehu. who became the founder of the fifth dynasty in Israel, to secure a change in the government and become the new ruler in place of Ahab and Jezebel. There Is something of the old Elijah in the dramatic manner in which he faces Ahab in Naboth's vineyard. He left the seclusion of the School of the Prophets to become champlon of righteousness and jus- tice. The gullty king, whose covet- ovsness had caused him to commit an offense against the religlous and statute laws of Israel, cowered once more before the prophet, who not ouly condemned him for his triple crime of robbery, impiety and mur- der, but warned him of the awful pun- ishiment that awaited him.

He repented and secured a delay in the imposition of the curse. The delay postponed It. but finally it came as predicted by Elijah. His last public task was probably the rebuke of Ahaziah, the evil-mind- ed s0n of Ahab, who had succeeded his father. The close of Elijah's career was in keeping with his life. “He came like a whirlwind. he burned lke @ fire, and in fire and whirlwind he disappeared.” His mysterious de- parture revealed his purity, due to his prayer life and power with God. In every age of darkness, despuir and despondence the promise of Eljah's return ha lifted the cloud caused by evil social and political conditions. He was to return previous to the coming of the Messiah “to prepare in the wilderness the way of the Lord.” God has assured us that he would come again “before the great and terrible day of the Lord.” Sacred history tells us how a thou- sand years later Elijah stood upon the mountain top conferring with Jesus concerning His departure. He was still busy about the business of Je- hovah, talking about the divine good- ness and glory to the suffering Son of Man as He rapidly was approach- ing His passion. This fs the last glimpse that history gives us of this great religious character, whose mis- sion and message had a fitting cul- mination in that remarkable interview that he had with our Lord as the Christ approached the cross. If we test our faith, like Eifjah did, in an effort to save our country and civili- zation by pointing out the modern dangers and proclaiming that all of our possessions, privileges and power are valueless unless we as a people are true to the God of our fathers, we may stand alone for a season but victory will crown our efforts.

The natural consequence is a lowering of moral and physical standards the world over. Instead of the prophesied “spiritual uplift” and prosperity, the aftermath of the war is a world-wide crime wave, famine, pestilence, social and poktical disorder and unrest. WHAT IS THE REMEDY? What hope is there of a better day? Are the dark clouds of trouble surrounding the world the harbingers of a colossal universal disaster or will Divine intervention save the race?

This Kingdom is not a far-off, mysterious something which has nothing to do with practical human affairs, but is a literal government in the earth which will solve every problem which confronts the world and satisfy the righteous desires of every living creature.
