Aa an Introduction, they have ehosen this chapter In the book of Isaiah. 'solah prophesied In the latter half of I'r.r.iah'a reign, 15. ('. 7(10 and dnwn to the early years of the reign of Manasseh uhotit It. C. CM (h. 1:1). This event took place probably B. 755. The place was Jerusalem; the kingdom of Israel was still In exist ence (for .'11 years longer) being ut terly destroyed In It. Q. 721. The name Isaiah means "the salvation of Jehovah :" his wife Ul called "(he prophetess;" two of his sons are named and his inl position was high, as shown ly his in i timcy with kings. Isaiah lived in troublous times. He was a reformer seeking to rescue his nation from tllCJ sins growing out of their disobedience to (J oil. He was i he lending statesman of his time, the greatest of the prophets, an author, a heroic, single minded, patriotic, fear less, uuda tint ed man of great personal power and Influence He was n proph et of bopoj he wrote ont of Ills long life of faithfulness and fellowship with Cod. The Irook of Isaiah falU Into two great divisions; chapters 1-39 be ing chiefly historical. Interspersed with songs and pOCtO) chapters 40-Bfl are a collection of prophecies that have to do chiefly with the return from the Babylonian exile and the days of fill lire glory for the kingdom of Cod. I. Visions (vv. 1-4). As we have siTld. Isaiah prophesied in a time of great need. The prophet was very much discouraged. In Ibis passage he locates his vision at a special time and place (ch. 1 :1). Kvery man's greOl need today Is a real vision of Cod. We are not so much In need of theories about Cod, as n vision of Cod himself. Umlak'a long reign of years. In which the kingdom pros pered and the king's name was spread abroad, stopped as suddenly as an earthquake, and his glory was Wilpsed (see II draft. 2:16-H). The place In wTilch Isaiah saw his vision was the house of Ood. Perhaps not In the tem ple, but seeing the vision from the temple the prophet looks to a house not hullt with hands, .Tehovab's own heavenly palace. Therein he saw "I he Lord silting on a throne . . . and his train tilled the temple." Above It. or around It. were arranged hovering couriers and the seraphic choir. The majesty of this vision Is indicated In verse two. Its glory In verse three, and Its power Is Indicated In verse four. The whole earth was filled wit li Cod's wondrous wisdom, love ami pow er. Literally "the whole earth N full of bis glory." The Hebrew word for holiness comes from a word meaning "to set apart set a distance from." The holy Lord is not only sinless but be Is sublime and absolute also. It may seem ditticult to harmonize Isaiah's vision with John 1 :18, yet these manifestations were one and the siime, for all that saw Jesus saw Cod (John 14 i). King Tzzlah was dead but the real king was living still, high and lifted up. The attempt to reason about him. what he must be and what he must not be, as if he were one uf ourselves (Kph. 1 :20, 21) is absurd. II. Division (tv. 6-U). (I) The vision of Ihe prophet (vv. ft-7). This vision brought conviction beeuuse It showed how far separated from Cod the prophet was. It also brought conversion in that he acknowledged himself to be unclean, himself and his surroundings to be vile. It also led to cleansing, for the king heard the voice of the prophet, removed hla guilt and purged his sin. (2) The voice and proclamation from the king (vv. 8-1H). The king called for a messenger (v. 8) ami at once the prophet Is found. Someone has said that "u tusk without a vision is drudgery; a vision with out a task Is u dream; while a task linked to a vision will move the world." Not only did the king ask for a iiessenger, but he gave the message fetch thai IMHMVMftVf was to utter (vv. !M2). The message whs to he to his own people; It was not to be a pleasant one. Verse l.'t shows us this message in prophecy. Isaiah ought to fully proclaim the truth, but the people would not understand It. and tit whole elTect of his proclamation would be to harden them. The Application. What is your application uf this iioii tor Isaiafi? We are u Chris tian nation. I. in there are many de great and kinds of Christian"; IfeflaM who sincci i I y try to follow Jesus; tlioa) who live uinb-r a Christian gov ernment, and are unaffected by Chris tian illlluelices. There is only one way to ave this nation from going the w ay of Niium Ii and i' re ; that iv that jtlllcc and rlgliteoiiMo -s shall govern, and that justice and righteousness shall be the fruil of regenerated lives. The cry is for a belter social em irolliueut and h more Just social Msti.,u. SERIOUS FLOODS ON THE UPPER PLATTE Rffmtta that Truffle has been si..m 1 Vol Verified hy RtpMtl IW eclved Here. Wi itt.

The Pathfinder dam is about eighty mile's from Casper. I'uusuullly heavy rains have fallon In that country this sea son and Iht mountains came out of the winter with the heaviest coating of snow known for years. The rain melted this snow earlier than usual and added the snow water to the wiudi from the rains. A Burlington man who was on the Casper line a few days ago says the road In some parts of eastern Wyom ing was in bad shape ami that It re quired a graft! deal of effort to keep trains moving. Word early this week from the Wyoming country indicated that some break had followed the tlood and that communication was tied up. No word of this has reach ed the Burlington offices and It Is thougjit if a flood break did occur It was some minor washout easily and quickly repaired. A dispatch from Casper soys trofllc was at I standstill. Traffic has grown on the Wyoming line wonderfully during Ihe pust year and it no wmeans a great deal to bring traffic to a standstill even on that new line. Oil developments came with a ruch and the growth has continued and has reached great er proportions than even the most sanguine boosters of that region had expected. Therefore traffic Inter ruption has grown to be a serloua thing in a country that a few years ago did not know what a railroad looked like. Had Cough'.' I'everisb ' Ciippy?
