ELIJAH IN NABOTH'S VINE- YARD.—I Kings, xxi.1-28. i Golden text.—"Be sure your sin will find you out. Num. 32.23. Elijah's experience upon Mount Horeb transformed the prophet. Re- turning to his work, filled with the | confidence of God's presence and power with him, he moved with free- dom and without fear throughout | Israel, although he was legally an outlaw. Jezebel did not dare to carry out her threats against him. He had secured, as a result of the triumph upon Carmel, religious toleration for himself and all worshipers of Jeho- vah. He adopted methods that were free from the spectacular use of force, depending for the success of his mir try upon his message and the power of the Lord. Today's lesson reveals him as the courageous champion of the people’s rights, fearlessly demning official iniquity and full of his old spirit. Ahab, who has been called “the weakest of all the Israelitish mon- archs,” was swayed and controlled by Jezebel, a gifted but bad woman. God had tried to lead him to repent by several experiences since He had dem- onstrated heyond question at Carmel that He was God. Jehovah had spared the King's life and_given him_two signal victories over Ben-Hadad, King of the Assyrians, that were of such a nature that there could be no-doubt concerning His divine and natural interposition. His unscrupu- lous wife exercised such an evil influ- ence over him that life and property failed to heed God's call for him to repent. Grounds Improvement Stopped. apparently small transactions. Ahab’s success had filled him with the desire to improve his Summer ivory palace at Jezreel. Adjoining it was a plot of ground that would make an ideal symmetrical development of the execu- tive's Summer residence. He was willing to pay a good sum for the halted by the refusal of Naboth to ell his ancestral estate, even to the King. The poor peasant declined to dispose his vineyard because Jehovah, the real owner of the land, had speci- fied that it should *not be sold for- ever” and that “every one of the chil- dren of Israel shall keep himself” (or, as in the margin, ‘“cleave to”) “the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.” Ahab was disappointed by the refugal of Naboth to break God's law. He had expected that he would will- ingly sell him the ground. but Naboth's answer filled h'm with discontent. Like a spoiled child who has been so much accustomed to having his own way in everything that he shows his petulance by sprawling out upon the floor, kicking and howling with all his physical power. Ahab was so bitterly disappointed that he actually pouted like a child. He went to bed sulking as if some great calamity had overtaken him. Ahab by his pouting revealed his sinful attitude. He had a covetous disposition that moved him out of pure selfishness in his desire to possess Naboth's vinevard. Due to his own pride, the King had fried to tempt his neighbor to sin. heart was not right with God, so that he fatled to act the part of a King when his wife proposed to obtain the vinevard for him by a series of in- jouitous deeds. In permltting her abuse of his royal power he showed his weakness as a ruler and sinfulness as a man By permitting Jezebel to carry out her program he shared with her the crime of framing up Naboth and causing his death. Official Corruption and Crime. 1t is quite evident that Ahab never thought of the iniquitous plot of his wife. In writing letters in Ahab's name and using his seal she did not commit forgery. She was authorized by the King to do it, when he per- mitted her to use the Kink’s seal and to send letters in his name. Left to himself and his own will, the King probably did not know the attempt to corrupt the municipal government, to secure good - for - nothing witnesses bribed to swear falsely against Naboth, so that a judicial murder could be com- mitted, in order that the court could add to its executive grounds by fraud what the King could not secure in any other way. 1t is casy to ses that the source of | Jezebel's evil genius was her hatred | of Jchovah. She despised His laws |and hated Fis people. She saw in | Naboth a loyal follower of the | Living One, who ruled Israel as God, and her plan to frame up witnesses nst the poor peasant cultivator of reyard was prompted more hy the desire to punish Naboth for his views than it was to satisfy the She had started the first relizious per- secution in history by slaying the prophets who were defenders of the {aith. She did not hesitate to plan for the death of Nahoth, whose cour- | azeous stand for his faith served to arcuse her hatred and animosity, She knew who to inform of her wishes and they carried out her plan thev secured worthless men to falsely against Naboth, the worshiper of Jehovah, and cast the stone at him during the religious ed by a heathen woman. She ved the part of a hypocrite in calling for the festival for the pur- pose of turning away _calamities caused by a great sin. Thev were summoned to worship Jehovah by a heathen woman, who pretended by her decrees to be vitally interested in the relizion of Tsrael. It was during this religlous service that the charses were hrouzht against Nabnth, the evi- dence heard and the righteous man exernted.

Naboth, Elijah met him and tore off the shroud of the ghastly skeleton of his crime. He accused the King of being a conspirator, a murderer, a rob- ber, a false swearer and a blasphemer, without telling a word hardly about the iniquity performed in the King's name., H The prohpet spoke the words of | friendship, when he pointed out how the covetousness of Ahab had brought forth death and doom to his dynasty. The King never saw Elijah again, but | his words had reached the better part of Ahab's heart. “The King's last act was an act of penitence; on every anniversary of Naboth's death he wore the Eastein sign of mourning, for Josephus tells us that he “went bare- toot.” Although we have sinned, the friendship of Jesus has made it pos. sible that we can escape reaping the | wages of sin, through repentance and faith. 'We can be sure that our sins will find us out, and that without ac- cepting the grace of our Redeemer we can not escape paying the penalty for the same. Let us shun sin of every name and character for thé wages of sin is death, that will separate us forever from the presence of God. ki, UNIVERSALIST SERVICE.
