Tts dignified gray walls and ornate interior retain even now the scars of seven centuries of activity, but the cathedral stands today, as it did in the time of St. Thom olid, serene and peaceful amid the green foliage of its English countryside. The present structure is built on the site of several former churches, the first of which stood here some time during the eighth century. The first building was plundered and burned by the Danes about the year 1008, re- paired and restored by King Canute several years later and again destroyed by fire shortly after the Norman con quest in 1066. It was rebuilt and continued in a relatively peaceful life until the time of the murder of St. Thomas, an event which caused the church to lie in neg- lect and forgetfulness for many But in the year 12 St. Thomas were transferred to the cathedral in which he had been mur- dered and the church act ies con- tinued without serious interruption un- til the time of Henry VIIIL. The interior of the present structure is practically as it appeared since the fifteenth century. It contains, among other mausoleums, those of St. Thomas, Stphen angdon and Cardinal Pole, the friend of Queen Mary. Sunday School Lesson BY REV. HUGH T. STEVENSON. AMOS DENOUNCES SIN. Amos, 2:4-3.15. World's Temperance Sunday. Golden Text.—Seek good and not evil, that ye may live; and so Jehovah, the God of hosts, will be_with you, as ye say.— Amos, 5:14. — World’s Temperance Sunday finds us studying the message of Amos, | who suddenly appeared in the Temple | at Bethel and fearlessly warned the nation of its rapidly approaching doom. Although he came from the wilderness of Judah, where he was a | shepherd of a flock of desert sheep, | noted for being ugly, short-footed and producers of an excellent kind of wool, he gripped the people by his familiarity with the social and | economic conditions of the people in | Palestine. In his visits to the wool markets, this keen-cyed man of the desert had observed the conditions of the various nations and learned from the tra ing pediars something of the condition: in other lands. He saw the clos: con- nection between Israel’s sin and that of the other nations. 1le detected the evidence of national peril in Israel at an hour when the people, due to their prosperity and power, believed that they were assured of political security and pes Jeroboam 1I had by the nsw*l;"m' of his administration in- creaged the influence of Israel so at it extended from Lebanon to the Sea. ‘hey did not detect the of their destruection that had red in their social life. Tsracl's Moral Failures. God had made Amos cons the approaching doom. He customed 1o deteeting sign out their significance. He had observed “the glare of wealth, the fulsome love of country, the rank in- cense of religion that was without morality” In Isracl. He had seen the attitude f+ the wealthy toward “poverty the eruel negligence of the rih, the injustice of the rulers, the lity of the priests,” connected with the temples at Dan and Bethel. Although the rulers of Israel and itional leaders evidently possessed | ion, the shepherd of Tekoa had en mind and commenced to see cance of the intemperance, lity and irreligious life of lio saw clearly that “the < of sin was death” for the north ern kingdom unless they were aroused from their moral lethargy and lax- ness of life. When in response to God's call, the prophet appeared at Bethel and commenced to point out the sins of the nation, he did not try to shape the political policy of the govern- ment, but he appealed to the people, whom he considered to be responsible for the government. When Amaziah, the priest in charge of the temple at ethel, sought to stop the prophet from delivering his pungent messages by means of an injunction, he failed. Amos refused to recognize the author- ity of the government and its right to interfere with his delivering his Giod given message. Ile claimed the rights of religious freedom and fear- lessly pointed out the certainty of the nation reaping what it sowed. Amos pointed out that they were sapping the strength of the nation by the licentiousness of the rich and the miserable condition of the poor. He sounded a new note when he de- clared that they had lost God's favor through their indulging in the sins of civilization. The social evils of the day were interlocked, as they are to- day. The exploitation of the poor was accompanied with debasing irrever- ence seen in the practice of im- morality and intemperance within the temples, where they worshiped idols De: ious of was ac- and seek- claiming that they were worshiping Jehovah. He gave them a true con- ception of G%d, when he insisted that ica is to maintain her position among 'evil, that we may lv they could not secure His favor by their usual methods of religious wor- ship, offering sacrifices, keeping the Sabbaths, when they were disregar |ing the demands of justice and re quirements of mercy in their deal gs with their neighbors and fellow citizens. Justice and Merey Ignored. The failure of the people was a spiritual one. They had bebased their religion by idolatrous practices, wor- shiping not the living God but images contrary to His law. In adopting the practice of idolatry they had much that appealed to their sensuality for the practice of immortality as a part of their worship. Perhaps this was the reason for introducing this form tualistic practices from foreign They dishonored Jehovah and vthing high and holy, just as men e doing today, when they shut Goll out of their lives by committing the me spiritual offenses of idolatry, ir- reverence and immorality. Amos hit hard. His words went home, when he condemned their in- justice in taking from the poor their “inalienable property,” which *had been pawned for the Oriental cloa kept the poor man warm both da and night. They even went so far as to sell a man into slaver song” when they could not meet the sury of the profiteer. They failed to exercise justice and mercy because of their ingratitude to the Lord, who had rescued them from the slavery of Egypt and planted them into the promised land. They could have r patd his love and mercy by being kind and generous in their financial deal- ings with their neighbors. God's plans to make them a_ holy nation were defeated by their cynicism, for they refused to listen to_the prophets and tried to induce the N: rites, who had vowed to abstain from partaking of all intoxicating drinks, to violate their consecration vow: They tried to stifle prophecy by in trigue, intimidation, intemperance and snaring the prophets by the ever pres- ent trap of social evil and injusti National Doom Certain. Our sins are all spiritual. We may consider them to be economic, political or moral, hut they violate the require- ments of God and injure the human soul. Amos pointed out that sin, he- cause of its spiritual character, was a destructive force. He saw that God who ruled the affairs of nations an men, had to punish the wicked. He cited the history of the Amorites, who had been deposed from the land, a though they were giants, and had dis appeared from the sisterhood of na- tions because of their immor tices. e reasoned it out that a right- eous God would, hecause of His law of vetribuiton, be compelled to punish all the nations of the ‘earth, including Judah and Israel, “The wages of sin 1s death. They were surprised. ments shocked them, for they were the chosen people of God. his fact im- posed greater privileges and larger re- sponsibilities upon them. They ques- tioned his authority and asked his credentials. His reply pointed out that for every phenomenon in nature there was a cause, and that he would not have spoken of their doom, if God had not sent him to prophesy for Him to them. It was in response to His call from the Lord that he became a reformer, but he found that sin knew no national borders and that there was no escape from the penal- ities of sin in any land or among any people. He pointed out that they should seek good and not evil,” that they might live and enjoy the presence, peace and protection of Jehovah. They refused to heed his message and in due time the punishment foretold came upon Israel. The nation fell. The 10 tribes have disappeared be- cause they refused to do His will, preferring to follow their own personal wishes and desire. There is much in our modern life that indicates that history is repeating itself. If Amer- His state. ] LADIES’ DAY "ROGRAM. | Men's Bible Class Proposes Spe-| cial Exercises Tomorrow.
