UNDAY J CHOO] gssoON LESSON 1V. -- July 28 AMOS (PROPHET OF SOCIAL JUSTICE).--Chapters 4 and 7. GOLDEN TEXT -- Let justice roll down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. Amos 5 : 24, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time--The prophecy of Amos was given between 775 B.C. and 760 B. C., during the reign of Jeroboam 11. Place--Amos was of the village of Tekoa, five miles south of Bethlehem, and ten miles south of the city of Jerusalem. "Thus he showed me: and, behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb-line, with a plumb-line in his hand," This is, of course, only a vision given te Amos, symbolizing the judgments that he was sent to announce. A plumb-line, as every ona knows, is -a string with a weight at the end of it, dropped from the top of a wall to determine whether the wall is strictly perpendicular, at right angles with the foundation. "And Jehovah said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumb-line. "Then said -the Lord, Be- hold, I will set a plumb-line in the midst of my people Israel; T will not again pass by them any more." Just as the architect subjects a wall to the test of the plumb-line, so will God subject Israel to the test of justice, and, just as the architec! orders the destruction of a wall thal cannot stand the test when applied, so will God command that his people be destroyed because they afte in- curably wicked. ' "And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jero- bam with the sword." The high places were the local sanctuaries, usually situated on eminences, a lit- -te-outside-the towns to which they belonged, where the people were ac- customed to worship, where an altar and generally a shrine were erected, and where sacrifices were offered. "Then Amaziath the priest of Bethel." This man was the leading ecclesiastic of his day, a sort of Archbishop of Canterbury, if we may permit ourselves a modern comparis- on, and responsible for the worship in the royal sanctuary. "Sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos." Note how the mere mention of the name without description proves that the prophet was already known in Israel, perhaps was one on whom the authorities had long kept their eye. "Hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words." Amaziah does not mean to charge Amos with having a secret understanding with others to dethrone the king, but, ag the ext shows, with using language that was calculated to produce such a con- spiracy. "For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land." See 6 : 7. How pitifui on the part of Amaziah the priest to think that driving Amos out of Ishael would have any effect 'upon 'the doom which God had pronounced through his prophet! "Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer." The word seer is here used in a contemptuous sense and has therefore to be translated by some such word as visionary. "Go, flee thou, away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there," Amaziah implies that pro- phecy was a trade or profession, and insinuates that Amos is one of those prophets who lived upon pop- ularity. "But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's san- ctuary and it is a royal house." There is something infinitely pathetic in this clash of prophet and priest. The bravest and truest voice in Israel had spoken and the priest attempt- ed to stifle it. Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son." Amos dis- claims being a prophet by trade or profession, who might, for instance, have attempted his vocation without any special fitness, "But I was a herdsman, and a dresser of sycomore trees." : "And Jehovah took me from fol- lowing -the flock, and Jehovah said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my peo- ple Israel." See the first paragraph of this lesson, "Now therefore hear thou the word of Jehovah: Thou sayest, Pro- phesy not against Israel, and drop not they word against the house of Isaac;" 17. "Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Thy wife shall be a harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou thyself shalt die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall sure- ly be led away captive out of his land." As a matter of fact, it was about twenty-five years later when Tiglath-pileser III invaded Israel, and ten years later when Samaria was finally attacked by Shalmanezer IV. Commoners To Be Married In Chapel Of Henry Seventh EA [ondon.-- dhe first girl outside the royal family to be married in Henry VII's Chapel at Westminster Abbey will be Catherine Keyes, gocond daughter of Admiral Sir Roger Keyes. Her engagement to Peter W. W. Powlett, son of Major William Powlett, wis announced recently. The marriage takes piace July 30 and His Majesty granted permission a month ago for the marriage to be golemnized in the chapel. Twenty-one Knights of the Grand (ross were installed by the Duke ot Connaught in a picturesque ceremony fn the chapel last week. With its wonderful fan tracery celling, the chapel is regarded as tho best ex- ample of late Tudor architecture in the kingdom. On both sides are the stalls for the Knights of the Bath, over which hang the knight's ban- ners. Many Canadlan colors were deposited in It when battalions left England for the front. Surgeon Warns Against Use Of Aperients A grave warning against the dan- ger of giving a child with abdominal pain 'an aperient on the assumption that something it has eaten has dis- agreed with it is uttered by Prof. A. Rendle Short, professor of Surgery in Bristol University, in a lecture re- cently. Ho <aid: "The great majority of abdominal pains in children are not duo to some single indiscretion in diet at all, and the routine use of an aperient in such cases, kills hun- dreds of children every year In this country.

NTE Tana Discussion On Re-marriage Of Divorced Persons "When two pérsons are not satis- fied with their marriage, one, the wife, can say to her husband, 'Let me have my liberty, I appeal to your chivalry." The husband. through a real or mistaken sense of chivalry, says that he will give her her liberty, and goes through the prescribed form." ; So said the Archbishop of Canter- bury (Dr. Lang) during further dis- cussion recently in the Upper House of the Convocation of Canterbury, of the attitude of the Anglican Church towards divorce. , "It is, therefore, very evident," added Dr. Lang, "that at the in- stigation of the wife, or because of the conduct of the wife, the actual technical misconduct by the husband has occurred. ; "That makes it still more difficult to make definitions as regards those for whom the "marriage service in church is right and proper." One resolution, which was passed with two dissentients, affirmed the belief of the House that in no cir- cumstances scould Christian men and women re-marry during the lifetime of a wife or husband without a breach of the principles by which the institution of marriage was gov- erned according to Christ's teaching. Another resolution maintained the principle that the Church should not allow the marriage service in the case of anyong who Thad a former partner still living. Consumption Of Lamb Wil: Be Increased Increasing Prices of Beef and Firmness in Hog Prices Will Lead to Popularity lor Lambs As a result of drought conditions in the United States there is now a real shortage of beef and pork. The rapid diminution of supplies of cattle and hogs at all leading Uni- ted States. stock yards indicates that our god neighbors in the south cating to include a larger proportion of lamb. In Canada the situation is like- ly to follow along somewhat sim- ilar lines. Already as a result of the rapid rise in the price of beef across Canada and the firm condi- tion of the hog market due to heavy exports of bacon to (Great Britain and lower hog deliveries as compar- ed with a year ago, the position in regard to the consumption of lamb is becoming increasingly favorable. Lamb in both Canada and the United States is, at the moment. a bargain counter meat... In the Un- ited States sheep flocks have with- stood drought conditions much better than other live stock while in Cana- da, as a result of a definite and con- structive sheep policy, lamb in Can- ada has been greatly improved and is available the year round as early spring lamb, as grass-fed lamb or as finished feed-pot lamb. See Big Expense In Cleaning Canal -- St. Catharines. -- Following a re- cent inspection of the old Welland Canal, from Thorold to Port Dal- housie, by Government and municl- pal officials and representatives of the industries concerned, fear wid ¢xpressed that in order to deal satis- factorily with the sewage problem presented by the present condition of the waterway, not only will a sew- age disposal plant have to be con- structed, but the channel will have to be widened and deepened as well. Officials who went over the course included Dr. W. J. Bell,, deputy min- ister of health, G. M. Galumbert, rep- resenting the province, and E. P. Jost, of Ottawa, representing the Dominion Government ---- are report- od to have found immense stretches of the canal filled with wood fibre from paper mills. In other spots, sounding rods penctrated 11 feet of muck before striking bottom. The inspection marked another step in the efforts of Provincial, Federal and municipal authorities to find some adequate solution to the health and nuisance problem arising out of the polluted canal. Several conferences have been held at Queen's Park and at St. Catharines, and engincering studies are now in the course of completion. Estimates of the cost of the projected disposal scheme' are reported to run well in- to the millions, : In order to permit fhils insye- tion, the canal was drained on June 30.
