HUGH T. STEVENSON. AMOS PLEADS FOR JUSTICE Amos Chapters 5 and 7. Golden Text.—Let justice roll down as waters, and righteous ness as a mighty stream.— Amos 5:24. | Armistice Sunday calls for us to nsider the plea of Amos, the stern, | fearless, messenger of God, who sought to save Israel by his predic: tions of doom Lloyd George and Lord Cecil have warned England of her peril unless she ceases to trust in rmaments and depends upon justice ther than force to settle her dif- ferences with other nations. Gen. Pershing has pointed out that “The | tarwa learn from | johovah world does not seem to experience.” He claims the nations reduce ments, “We may well ask ourselves whether civilization does not really reach a point whera it begins to de- stroy itself and whether we are thus doomed to go headlong down throu destructive war and darkness to ba arism.” Our military and naval leaders by their championing pre- paredness, are promoting peace. They point out peril to avert war. Amos entered the public arena as a prophet under th urge of God to warn Israel of her coming doom at an_ hour when that nation had de ceived itselt and falled to. understand the fatal significance problems. Love of luxur then in Isracl, as it does tod: Jand. The conditions were similar to those that appeared prior to the down- fall of Rome and the breaking out of the French Revolution. The prophet saw in Israel what Prof. McDougall rvard, has seen in_our country tells us to quote his own st “; words: “As I watch the Amer ion speeding gaily, with in- vincible optimism, down the road to destruction, 1 seem to e contemplat- ing the greatest tragedy,in the his- tory of mankind.” s Amos sounded the focsin of Israel’s | doom in an effort 4o persuade the | nation to seek thé pathway of se- curity, stability and safety by re urning to God and the establishment | of equal and exact justice for all men without regard to their socis tion, prestige or power. The herds: man from Tekoa saw with great clearness the close relationship that existed between real. religion and social justice. He blazed the trail | that ali Hebrew prophets followed for with one accord all the prophets, the great spiritual leaders of the Jewish that unles their “arm for h | people, hayve championed the cause of non people and laid the blame for social wrongs upon the leaders of the dominant class. Our Lord fol- lowed their example. Both the prophets and the Master “underlined no other sin with such searlet marks as the sins of injustice, oppression, and the corruption of the judges, But these are the sins which bear down the lowly, and have alw been practiced and hushed up by the powerful,” just as the High Priest tried to stop Amos. God's U. willing Severity. Moses in the law that he gave to the nation protected all, classes. His requirement of justice sought to pre- vent the control of the nation by the rich or the mob element of the poor. Israel had, disregarded the God-given statutes and Amos opens our lesson | } P.

Ie condemned the idolatry practiced in the name of religion, which they observed from selfish mo- tives aud not to glorify God. He con- demned specifically “tithes, thanksgiv- ings, free-will offerings, feast days, solemn assemblies, music, both vocai and instrumental,”” as being wicked and even treasonable because of their insincerity. The test of religious serv- antiquity, but the wor- <hip of the heart. most elaborate worship if insincere was an insult to Jehovah, who was a God of righteousness. The prophet's sion for social justice grew out of his view of the character of Jehovah. Ie interpreted Him as being a powerful God of all nations, whom He ruled in accordance with His ethical and spiritual person- His one note of the requirement itr, exhibited in 1 justice d all men, taught the world that demands from all His pro- fessed followers a practics of the golden rule. The justice that Amos taught was “the impregnable rock upon which His people might have built a permanent social and spiritual structui:, but they sacrificed principle and Jost in the attempt tv invery God's order.” They refused to heed His injunction to repent, so that God warned them through the prophet of their false hopes and the certain coming of doom. Amos painted the disastrous conse- quence of Israel's refusal to do the will of Jehovah by word pictures that of 1ol |appealed to the minds of his hearers. It was these illustrations that aroused Amasiab to make an effort ‘ . silence the prophet, when he showed them God's love and mercy called for their punishment as a nation. Justice Mercy's Avenger. g Our lesson calls for the consideration of only three of the four well-defined “visions” that Jehovah gave to Amos —the grasshoppers, the fiery drought, the plumb line and the basket of Sum- mer fruit. They were familiar objects that God revealed to the prophet as illustrations of spiritual truth. These may have been the visions that the Lord used to call Amos from his flock and work as a pincer of figs. They ist of two pairs of visions, each pair contributing a definite message. The first two represent the approach- ing disaster as coming from God, but without revealing the cause of the na- imminent sdoom. ‘The second <howed Amos that their rapidly ching end was due to their ual defect. In these simple stories mos has opened up heart, showing us that in his experi- ence with God the Lord had spoken to His prophet the message that he bold- Iy proclaimed. Amos knew that Tsrael did not real- ize their peril. The hurden of their anger forced Amos to reveal God's desire to save the nation and warn them to repent, foster social justice at would teveal thelr walk with He saw in the plumb line how ured our lives in accordance with his standards and requirements. 1f we fail to meet his standards our petitions could not remove our in. iquity. The ripened Summer fruit taught him that the moment a nation reached its highest point of growth and glory it would ' then com- mence to decay. The only thing that could save Israel from decay and doom was a change of the nation's moral nature. The prophet appealed to the citizens of the nation to correct the nation’s errors or suffer the penalty of sin. Justice in the mind of Amos was the avenger of mercy. R There {8 a limit to God’s love.
