Those taking | A Lesson for class. i Seldom may we leave a modern meeting, or lay down a modern book, | feeling glad that we are alive in thls’ | changeful time; proud of our coun- | try, hopeful for the world, and strengthened in our religious faith. Our prophets are all, speaking in a minor key and in a negative spirit. So it is with something like ex- | ultation that we turn today to the greatest of the Old Testament | prophets, whose clear trumpet tones | have sounded a note of inspiration | down the ages. Isaiah’s whole spirit | is expressed in the opening words of | the portion assigned as our present | lesson, “Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.” | We pause here to remark that i comfort is more than consolation or compassion. It means literally to | “make strong”; or, as Webster says, }"ro strengthen much, to impart For the grief- | strength and hope.” | stricken there is transitory allevia- | tion in being pitied; but the real com- fort is that which puts into the soul fortitude; new enduring pow- er and driving § power; new in- | spiration and en- | abling. So Jesus imparted ime it is nov |easier circum- | stances we need, so much as stout- er spirits. We are | truly comforted lwhen we are . T. Ellis. | made strong enough for the present sk. In a day of discouragers, we want | hearteners, inspirers. At the siege | of Ladysmith, in the Boer War, men were arrested on the simple charge of being discouragers. Our Jails would be full if that law pre- vailed today. Times are dark | enough; but they were darker in | Isaiah’s day, with the terrible Bab- vlonian exile of the Jews about to end. Would that the indomitable spirit of little Finland could be im- | parted to some of the slack and | selfish big nations. { Martin Luther was once in a mood | of deep depression. Then one dayi |his wife appeared wearing full | mourning. He asked why. | | “Because God is dead,” she replied. | | “For unless God is dead you cannot be so discouraged and defeated.” The great reformer caught the point. | So long as God lives and reigns, a | Christian dare not despair of any- | thing. He may meet with rebuffs, | defeats and trials beyond measure; | vet he may not lose his faith that God is working His purposes out. A missionary in a hard field once re- ported, “The prospects are as bright as the promises of God.” For that is the central message which re- sounds through the Scriptures; and particularly in the Book of Isaiah. God still rules. Everything else may fail, but not His sure word. There we have the supreme comfort for our harassed times. This is the Gospel to shout abroad with exul- tation. A Tidal Time. Ours is a tidal time. Vast social 1nnd political changes are swelling to a flood. Therefore it is a chal- | lenging era. It calls for Isaiah-like exaltation of conceptions. These are days to dare big thoughts. We must plan in terms of a whole new world order, remembering that all things pass, except God. A better world is on the way perhaps cata- clysmically. Isaiah’s idea of God was of a shepherd. So Jesus, of whom we have beautiful foregleams in this prophecy, called Himself “the Good Shepherd.” This is the greatest greatness of the Infinite. He cares for even the weakest of His flock Often, as in Palestine I have watched the bearded shepherds car- rying the lambs in their arms, I have seemed to see the Good Shep- herd, who is ever mindful of the weakest of us. Many years ago Patterson Dubois wrote a book about his daughter, | “Beckonings From Little Hands.” In it he tells how, after the 'child’s death, he found printed in her diary, “God is love. He loves lambs.” That childlike faith is more needed by the world today than any of our | high-sounding philosophies or intri- cate schemes of statecraft. As we find our Father-Shepherd God we | shall find peace and a remade world. This is our light in darkness; our cheer in gloom, our hope in despair.

ORDS THAT STEADY Gloomy Prophets Beset Day That Needs Encouragers By WILLIAM T. ELLIS. Verbal brick-throwing is our day’s most popular pastime. Everybody seems to be complaining about something. Politicians, professors, preach- ers and writers are all @ngrossed in criticism. Many highbrows think they are prophets because they condemn the existing social order. That tongue- twisted clergyman, who meant to say that the Gospel is cheerful tidings, but inadvertently said it was “tnrflfl chidings,” really described a whole THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1940. the Week between Jerusalem and Babylon. (Significantly, Jerusalem still lives while Babylon is a ruined, shapeless heap.) Over this Judah had been carried in chains, suffering such tor- ments as are hardly matched in Poland today. For half a century they endured the Babylonian cap- tivity, Then Isaiah’s clarion voice was upraised in a promise of return and a new life. This was his word of comfort, which many of us have heard sung as Handel's “Messiah.” ‘The sinning nation had been par- doned. The prophet presented himself as a forerunner, a preparer of a way in the wilderness: words that were later applied to John the Baptist by all four Evangelists. The figure is a familiar one in the East. I have often seen the uniformed outrunner preceding a nabob's carriage. When I myself first entered Bagdad, in 1910, my servant Shamu preceded me through the crowded, narrow streets, crying “Bellak! Bellak!"— “Make way! Make way!” Now we may all join Isaiah, in proclaiming preparedness for the coming of God. All voices—science, politics, business, philosophy—unite in crying that only a revival of re- ligion, of faith in a living God, can suffice for our world's present need. Everything else is passing away like the grass; “but the word of our God shalll stand forever.” The task is urgent, insistent. It rests upon the heart of every one, however lowly, who believes God. “The work that centuries might have done, Must crowd the hours of the set- ting sun.” The Sundly‘ul:ool lesson for April 28 is “Isaiah Comforts an Afflicted People.”—Isaiah, xI.
