He | based his prophecy concerning the w0 pitals because both govern- ments, especially Jerusalem, were un- Jjust nd unsympathetic in their treat- ment of the toilers. He placed the blame upon the plutocrats, who, with indifference to the needs of the worl ingmen, utilized the power in their |hands to secize the property they coveted. He did not mince his words { of condemnation or hesitate to point his finger at the moneyed tyrants, who ridiculed the possibility of jud, ment. He saw wealth ruling upon all sides. They influenced the ministration of the law. Judges ac- cepted bribes. Fa prophets flat- |tered the rich and the priests were controlled hy wealth to that exten: that commercialism and materialism had supplanted th al and spirit ual teachings of g Micah's impassionate predictions of approaching doom were not welcome. Every effort to stop the prophet preaching failed. Moved by the presence of the pinched face of the poverty-stricken workers and the spirit of God, the prophet was the first person to threaten the complete destruction of Jerusalem. In the lasc verse of the third chapter .e have the keystone and climax of Micah's message of approaching doom, that Jeremiah quoted a hundred later with the result that his life saved. His picture of the city as heap of ruins, and the temple site re- | duced to a forest, may have influenc1 the reformation of Hezekiah, for the destruction of Jerusalem was delayed hecause of the king's repentance and attempted reformation. He kept the fate of the capital clear from that of the mation, for his prediction of ap- proaching doom was followed by of the ‘country’s coming Coming Glory. Micah, following his conception of a prophet’s duty, denounced the sins of his day and tried to arouse the people it they would repent. \When they failed (o respond to the call of God that they exercise justice to the oppressed, Micah saw their doom, and heyond that he saw the exaltation of on_and the birth of a deliverer in Bethlehem. He sees with a clearnes that surpassed any prophet who pr ceded him the coming of a Messiah who would make Jerusalem the tal of a spiritual and intellectus minion that would bring perr peace and security to all men and na- tions. The foundation of Micah's hope was based upon the supremacy of religion, for he saw the church firmly and eternally established as the uppermost institution in all the world. hen men give religion the place that Micah saw it is destined to occupy when the | Lord’s house is on top of the moun- tain, then “they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks.” One of the evidences of universal peace will he found in man's undisturbed pro- ductive labor, free from the burdens of Micah's hope for world peace and the prosperity of Judah was connected with the birth of the Messiah in Beth- lehem, in the village of David, whose birth would fulfill the ancient prom- ises, The aim of Christ's rule is the establishment of peace. Not until He comes and judges the world, ruling it from Jerusalem, can we expect perma- | B o | mandments in our dail specially | avaricions | ¢ of the poor | nent peace. The wise men were guided in their search for the newly born King by the rabbis, who recognized from this prophecy that He was to be born in Bethlehem of Judea. Micah, the peasant prophet and champion of | the oppressed, foresaw in the birth of | the Christ a_poor man's Messias, who was destined to be born in a_manger and to share the burdens of the poor. Religious Requirements, in a few words expressed 1sor requirements of the religion. President Eliot se- ted them for the alcove of religion the reading room of the Con- sressional Lib Jehovah requires of us justice, kindness and humility Christianity has not perceptibly mos fied the need of “fairness, mag- nanimity and a_lowly heart"—the three essentials of religion, according to Micah. The prophet did not know that the only way one could fulfill these requirements was through the gift of Divine power. Justice i3 not that of the law or force, but rather that expressed in the Golden Rule. 1f we love kind- ness jus is insured. Unless we love a principle there is a tendency to seek to evade its application. Our Lord does not desire our pos- sessions or the following of any ritual, although He appreciates with- i | out doubt the sincere worshiper, with- out regard to the form of his ap- proach, if he comes in sincerity and truth, moved by love for Him. We can_only walk in God's paths and do His will when we have sur- rendered our life to Him, taken up our cross and followed our Lord in a life marked by justice, kindness and humility. In oheyin| Tord and carrying the will of our risen out His com- work we will kelp introduce His spirit in the af. of men and establish a rule of social justice among them and all nations. Men do not naturally de. ire to practice the principles of fair- | ness, magnanimity and humility. It {is only as we walk with God and |try by the aid of the Holy Spirit |ihat we can express in our daily |life the three great essentials of re- |lion expressed in our golden text: “He | hath showed thee, O man, what is good: and what does Jehovah require {of thee but to do justly, and to love | Kindness, and to walk humbly with they God?” ‘CANON~STOKE.S TO TALK AT CHILDREN’S RITES Cottage Meeting to Be Held Tues- day—Special Services Thurs- day Morning.
