Its leaders were prophets, priests, and kings, and these men, especially the 'prophets; were unique in their char- acter and' work. Their is not to' be found in: fory. But in the nation 'as a 'whole was regarded as royal, 'as' priestly, as prophetic, w Tat these special men did as lead- era for the nation, Israel as a unit was to do for the 'world. Herein lay its unique office. But from tke time of Amos and Hosea it was seen that the natign. as a whole was un- prepared for such a ministry, The religion of Jehovah was set aside too often for that of other gods, or was mixed with unworthy elements that rohbed it of its effectiveness. A CLEANSING PROCESS alone could purify the people and make them " worthy of their high ministry; and the agency through which this regeneration was to be wrought prophets of that period as being national overthrow by Assyria and later Babylonia. Only such'a puri: fication as should come through dis- aster and suffering could avail to prepare Israel for its true missiod® But after this period of suffering had passed the "remnant" or sur. vivors would be worthy and a glori- ous future should be expected. The consecration of kings and priests was signified by their anoint- ing with holy oil. From this word "anointed" or "Messiah' grew up the idea of the future glorious time as "anointed" or "Messianic."' The conception of a person who should stand as the common denominator of the new period of national salva- tion and purification is first pre- sented by Isaiah. , In his rebuke of King Ahaz for presumptious disre- gard of God the prophet announces counterpart last analysis the Young Folks \ CHEERFUL HEART.

Here at first Israel asa whole is the servant, Though fallen upon unhappy days, yet this very time is one of puri- fication ; and, now that the process of purgation is reaching ite comple- tion, it is time to prepare for the larger things to come. Redemp- tion is not to be wrought by war and strife, as was the earlier view, but by peaceful meghods, and there- fore the figure of the king no longer appears, but the servant in a hum- ble and yet successtul work. Presently, however, the idea that the nation as a whole can do the great work appears to be abandon- . » Too many are indifferent. The remnant, the best part of the na- tion, is all that can be counted upon in such an enterprise. This remnant will save not only the apostate part cf the nation, 'but the world at But even the remnant was weak and unable to accomplish the divine work; and at last one rises from the remnant, a representative of both it and the whole nation; able to do: that which both had failed to accomplish, the divine ser- vant, the Messiah. In Isaiah lii., 18, liii., 12 the success of the ser- vant's mission is set forth in terms that show the blending of the per- sonal and the national ideas about the Messianic. figure.
