How little the Ark of God availed when God was not there; how little the form of Godliness avails when the power is gone (2 Tim. 3: 5). Instead of the Ark saving Israel, thé Ark itself was taken. The whole secret of this awful defeat is revealed in Ps. 78: 56â€"64. One might have chased a thousand, and two put 10,000 to flight, "Except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had ‘ delivered them up," just as He said‘ he would (Deut. 32: 30). There is no telling what may happen to the people when their God forsakes them (2 Chron. 28: 6); "there was a very great slaughter," but it was all in love, a wise chastisement from God to bring wandering Israel:to _ Himself. The Philistines doubtless thought they had made a great capture when they took the Ark of God, but they soon found out their mistake (ch. 5).. It was not without its compensations for Israel; they may have gained more by the death of Hophni and Phinehas than they lost by the death of 30,000, It is a blessed thing in a nation and for a church when some of its leaders die. Very likely there were many found to fament the death of Hophni and Phinâ€" €has, and to pronounce a eulogy at their funeral, but God very well knew He was doing Israel a kindness when he removed them (2: $4, 35). Eli‘s | ‘"heart trembled for the Ark of God" (v. 13), but that was quite unnecesâ€" sary; for God could take care of His own Ark and He did. Well might Eli‘s heart have trembied for Israel and his sons. Christians nowâ€"aâ€"days are unâ€" duly concerned about the honor of God and His cause. Their hearts |â€" tremble lest some mighty Philistine demolish the Ark of God and prove |â€" the Bible false and Christianity a deâ€" | lusion. No need to worry about that, |â€" God will take care of the Ark; but | . our hearts may well tremble someâ€"|| times for ourselves, if we are disloyal |â€" to the Word, and compromising with | the world and sin. Poor Eli, "ninety | and eight years old," and the last thing | | he heard as the end of his rule, "Israel | ] is fled before the Philistines, and there | | hath been also a great slaughter || among the people, and thyr two sons | i also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, | 1 and the Ark of God is taken." But | ! Eli had no one to blame but himself | 1 (ch. 2: 29â€"35; 3:â€"13). | 3 When God smites us we should alâ€" ways seek to find the reason why. The sooner we find the cause and remove it, the sooner will the chastisement be withdrawn (1 Cor. T;:21). Israel‘s misâ€" take was in not going deep enough in {seeking the cause of their defeat, they did not look right into, their own hearts. They thought the trouble was merely some outward trouble, and therefore that a mere outward form the confession of faith in Jehovah by sending the Ark out of Shiloh, would set things straight. This was much easier than heart repentance. But it did no good to have the Ark in the camp when their hearts were still away from Jehovah, whose Ark it was. The Ark had led them safely through the waters of Jordon (Josh. 4:7) and to victory at Jericho (Josh. 6:4, 5), but it was when Jehovah, whose preâ€" sence the Ark really symbolized, was with them. The meeting house is a saving power in the nation when peoâ€" ple truly seek God there. It is vain to trust in the meeting house when our hearts have departed from God Who _once met us there. ‘"We are all right" men say, "Just look at our churches." Yes, but is God there? The fact that Hophni and Phinchas (v. 4) were with the Ark boded ill for any good that might be expected from the Ark (ch. 2:12). Eli would have done well to have kept Hophni and Phinehas home, for he knew they were doomed men (ch, 2; 34) . "When the Ark of the Covenant of Jehovah came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout." There is a good deal of vain shouting in the world over merely outâ€" ‘ ward religious performance when there has been no real heart progress. Fine churches are erected, and a big meeting called and there are congratâ€" | ulatory addresses, etc., when, after all, God is not there at all. Such shoutâ€" ing is apt to end in erying (v. 13). "The Philistines were afraid"‘: the enâ€" emies of the Lord are always afraid ‘ when they think His people are reâ€" |â€" turning to Him and that therefore || "God has come into the camp.‘" The |â€" Philistines know well enough they |â€" have no chance against people of the | Lord when they are loyal to God, 3 though these same people are their‘| â€" sport when they are disloyal to God. There was reason in the fear of the Philistines: if God had indeed come into the camp, they might well say ‘"Woe unto us." The Philistines well | s knew that there was no power that | t could deliver them out of the hand of | c the mighty God .of Israel who had | v smitten the Egyptian with all manner | y of plagu% in the wilderness. The | p Philistine‘s exhortation to one another | f: ‘"Be strong and quit yourselves like t men‘‘ is a good one for Christian solâ€" | y diers as well as Philistines (1 Cor. 16: | e 13; Eph. 6: 10â€"12). If God had been | u on the side of Israel as the Philistines thought, it would have done them little en good to quit themselves like men g< (Rom. 8:31). $ Sp II.

LESSON Music and Religion BVITOYD@VY humanit f endow m h gation oi the senses. 5 Space does not permit a lengthy list of other strange senses of the lowâ€" er animals, but many do exist. We deâ€" sire to mention, however,a mysterious sense of the bat. A Frenchman toâ€" tally blinded a bat. He thenâ€"let it fly. about in a‘ room . erissâ€"crossed withâ€"fine wires and strings. But the bat never onee touched one of them, although flying rapidly all the while. No satisfactory explanation has ever been given for this phenomenon. or land station that continuously sends out radio messages. But if no mesâ€" sages are sent, the pigeon will return in due time. We may add that this report needs verification: And while Einstein ignores the exâ€" istence of the etherâ€"and many modâ€" ern physicists do, because of no exâ€" perimental proof of the hypothetical fluid, the biologist seems to think that this sense of location can only be due to someâ€"to us unknownâ€"myâ€" sterlous wave motion in the ether. Indeed this theory zains much plausâ€" ibility when we see continuously reâ€" ports of homer pigeons, who, so it is maintained, are influenced byradio waves. _A recent press report from England stated that homer pigeons never find their way back to a ship The wasp, or for that matter the dog, may either be influenced by the slightest barometric difference of pressure, or by the condition of the air, such as humidity, etec.. If they are hyperâ€"sensitive to such changes, they would naturally try to regain the spot where the conditions are such as those to which they have been acâ€" customed all Â¥ieir lives. We can only speculate upon the physics of this mysterious sense, noâ€" thing positive is known about it so far. After liberating the insects they made off in various directions, but five hours afterwards ALL of them had returned to the nest. This experiâ€" ment proves conclusively that the wasps could not have returned either by a sense of smell or sight. . Hence they must have another sense: the sense of ‘"‘location,‘‘ or the sense of "orientation‘"‘ as it is sometimes called. Om tmm iOEA COUTLE In ants too, this sense is highly deâ€" veloped. So is the wasp‘s The famâ€" ous French entomologist Fabre paintâ€" ed the abdomen of a dozen wasps with white paint. Each insect. was then thrust into a small paper tube. All the cylinders were then placed into a tightly closed box which was transâ€" ported two miles from the wasps‘ nest. As to our five senses they are reithâ€" er well developed nor remarkable. A good dog sees better, hears better and smells infinitely better. His . taste, too, is better or rather sharper. Only his touch is not as perfect as the huâ€" man‘s.. But he makes up for this by a sense, not at all possessed by man. We refer to the sense of ‘"location‘". Take a dogâ€"the experiment has been made jnnumerable timesâ€"and put him in a trunk; then ship him by auâ€" to or by train a dozen miles or more. Release him and the dog will find his. way home, nine times out of ten. He could not scent his way home, but a mysterious sense, the sense of locaâ€"‘ tion, will bring him back. Cats are notorious for the same sense, hence the saying "and the cat came back."" The normal human being has five senses: Sight, touch, hearing, scent, taste. With these five senses we perâ€" ceive what is going on about us, in a very incomplete manner. Although we pride ourselves as the most accomâ€" plished animal in all respects, this is far from the truth. The fact is that the only thing we can pride ourselves with is our reasoning powerâ€"and evâ€" en here the ants and bees outdistance us considerably, 3. The Seat of Citizenshipâ€"Christ| said ‘"The Kingdom of God does not{ come;by observation, the Kingdom of God is within every man born into the ‘the beginning was the word .....," and the word was made flesh and dwelt among us...... ‘This is that, light which lighteth every man com-I ing in to the world. According to this) it would appear that the Kingdom ofi God is iwthin every man born into thel world. The image of God is still in man, in the best of men, also in the worst of men. It was in Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. It was also in the i _ 2: The Fact of Citizenshipâ€"In the story of the rich man and Lazarus, Abraham‘s bosom is refered to as typiâ€" fying heaven or the kingdom of heavâ€" en. Christ came to establish a heaven in and among men. John saw on®the Isle of Patmos a new heaven and a new earth." Behold, the inspired writâ€" er says "Behold the tabernacle of God is with men." And again Christ says, ‘"Thou art Peter and upon the rock Thy confession will Iâ€"build my church." From these quotations and references we may gather the fact of. citizenship as the end of all activities both human and divine. The 1‘ise,’ growth and consummation of Christian | citizenship in the Kingdom of God in | this world is the immediate ‘concern| of &1 Chnistian‘ benlevers | Abraham journeyed from the house of bondage of theory through the wildernesses of experience to the promised land of reality. He looked for a city but found a citizenship. He sought for an earthly possession but found a heavenly possession. He journeyed onward towards a place but arrived at a condition without a hum an or earthly limitations, 1. The Questâ€"Many are pleased, to call Abraham the first foreign Misâ€" sionary. This Targely because he was a great adventurer, always a sojournâ€" er, always launching out into the deep, always projecting himself into the.unknown.

Citizenshipâ€"The grand ~adventure of Abraham, the greatâ€"grandfather of the faithful, the first heir to the promise.

Service built upâ€" on the rock bottom principle of sacriâ€" fice must be his program. For others rather than for self, for the communâ€" ity interests, rather than for selfish interests. 4. The Demands of Citizenshipâ€" Christ â€"led the way, He increased in wisdom or intelectually, in‘ stature or physically, in favor with God, spiritâ€" ually and in favor with man, socially. The life of every Christian citizen must be foursquare. A oneâ€"sided man can have no area and consequently no influence. A twoâ€"sided man also can have no area, A threeâ€"sided man beâ€" gins to exert an influence of a limited character. It is the foursquare man who becomes the power. Christ also said, "and I if I be lifted up shall draw all men to me." . ‘"The Kingdoms of this world," says the inâ€" spired writer, ‘"shall become. the Kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ." . Christianity is the one and only religion which claims jurisdiction. over the whole man and over the whole world. . nprt The Kingdom of God then is in all men. It requires the power of Christ‘s Gospel to awaken it into Kingdom acâ€" tivities.. We see from these consideraâ€" tions the seat of citizenship or citizenâ€" Ship viewed intensively, It is also to be viewed extensively.

And there is one thing more that I have: noted in my somewhat intimate experience of this Army‘s remarkable labors, and it is a matter that specâ€" ially affects our people.

Indeed, I would go further and say I do not know any other organization in which the doctrine of Religion, in the best sense of the term, is more beautifully conceived or more faithâ€" fully acted upon than in this Army. The Salvation Army does not hang upon the skirts of the rich. It does not worship in the temples of Rimâ€" mon, or bow the knee to the Baal of fashion and influence. It has almost exclusive regard for the most lowly and the most rejected of men_ and women. . It strives andâ€" succeeds wonâ€" derfully in bringing them ‘back from the abyssâ€"depths of vice and crime, of misery and ‘destitution, in which their underâ€"world lives are cast.
