The times need ci s'u'i a man. Every age has pro ducer! men en.unl to the task required of th' m to perform. Can you cite some i;i history or modern times? lie ap pear;; upon the p.rone like John the Baptist before Ahab, a weak and wi.-ke.-l king, who was ruled by his wii Jezebel, a daughter of Ethball, kin; of Fidon. Through, her the King dom of Isrnel adopted tiie worship of j Paal. In':; message to Ahab, of only twenty-live words, sound more like! the pronouncement of a God, than ". mere man. A long time has he seen the down ward trend of hi.-; people; his soul is Mirred within lum; he talks it over with Go-1., something must be done, j:nd at r no, if not, the whole nation fhail le ruined, and God's purpose with his peopie frustrated. His soul filled with indirn:tion, his heart burning with holy zeal fcr Johcvah. With the a;r,v.ranco of God's approv al, lie goes to thp he id r i the nation "... rci'.'.or dew or it. in these years but recording to my word;" and he disappcpr:; as suddenly as he had 'O!i!o. lie v.-;is rot taken seriously, laughed : t, derided; hut as dev.- and rain failed, day alter dny, mcnth af ter month, per pie horn me serious, they began to look for the man, but God had rent him en:t of Jordan to the brook Cheritii. where ravens ( or shcull it read Arabs?) ehonld bring him food. A miriou'cus feeding. God has many avpjs to take care of his own. Elijah trusted God. A long year he ha3 lived in raves in medita tion and contsmplatlrsn until the brook is dry. Now lie receives orders to move beyond the jurisdiction cf Ahab, where no or.o would lock for him. Here again he is miraculously fed, a poor widow is foreseen by Je hovah, will take him in and care for him. The little meal and oil are re newed every day, like a manna from heaven; here Elijah lived and by per forming a miracle, in lettering a dead child to life, the mother was converted to the living God. Over three years have thus passed, the idolatrous Israelite': have been punished enough. Gcd in his com passion hears the cry cf man and beast and orders Elijah to meet Atab, 1 X 5 ERA MEN AT COLUMBUS Colura'ous, Neb. Preparations were begun here for a checkup and doner enforcement of XRA laabor proviisior.s. Roy M. Brewer, state labor compliance officer division for Nebraska, accompanied by Field Ad juster Gilbert W Melcher. general XRA representative for this district, came here and conferred with mer chants relative to setting up code au thority groups. Policeman Loses 62 Pounds of FAT Mr. J. W. Frost writes: "I've used 7 bottles of Kruschen and deduced from 272 to 210 lbs. with no ill ef fects whatever. In fact I feel much better than I have for son.e years. As a police officer I recommend Krus chen to brother officers to keep in regulation weight and health." Kruschen is the safe, healthy, sen sible way to lose unhealthy, surplus fat simply take a half tea?poonful every morning in a glass of warm water you'll feel so good so ener getic. You'll gain in strength and ambition you feel years younger and lock it. By reducing excess fat you'll be apt to live years longer. One bottle lasts 4 weeks. You can get Kruschen Salts at F. G. Fricke & Co. or any drug store in the world. Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Mnrdock. Neb. who i:; looking fcr fodder for his horses and mules, they were nearer to him than hi3 subjects. The day came when the two men met. The meeting was not vry cordial.,' Ahab could' rift conceal his ruffle'3 temper. "Are you he that troubleth Israel?" "Not I, but you." Here is the man that has God on his side, unafraid. Tho scene is shifted. Elijah becomes the commander and Ahab the servant. It i a great day for Israel a memor able day, a day cf tremendous desci tion fcr the people. The people are summoned to come to Mount Carmel, with ;."0 priests of Baal, their God, (the 400 priests of Ashthoreth ab sented themselves, took warning), in a few days all is ready for the test. May we not stop and consider, if these years of depression are not sent us, to bring us back to a more ardent rervice of Gcd? All is ready for the battle, the preparations are complete. In the great test after tix hours cf unfruitful crying to God of Jezebel, there is no answer he failed them. Will the lone servant of Jehovah fail to bring fire from heaven? He knows God, who has raid: "I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee," Jos. 1:5. He calls on God, a short but "effectual" prayer, only C3 words, (all the ef fectual prayers in the Bible have from three to seven words), how much time is wasted in these long prayers, that not only tire people but Gcd. Fire brings the answer. God Is vindicated. The people-,' verdict is: "The Lord, ho is God." But the day is not end ed, the evil must be uprooted, des troyed 4 50 priests are, with the help of the pecple, slain and Ahab did lot hinder it. lie was momentarily err: fused and con rounded. So are men t-;h :y when they behold the wonder ful works of God. who transforms a dinner into a raint. But now come showers of refreshing. Go may we Ice!; for "times of refreshing from the prerence of the Lord." (Acts 4: 19) if hard times and drouth teach 1:1. that it is "God who giveth the Increase." (I Cor. 3:6). We can ta new courago in his service. But after the day Cf the great exhultatlon comer, tho reaction. Jezebel has the report cf what has happened. Why did r.hc give Elijah warning cf the coming doom? Why did she not have him killed? That was dangerous by the present temper of the people. She succeeded in scaring him away. Thru is ortcn the case in the life of Christians, after a great victory, a reaction set in, that is the time for the devil to sow the seed of discour agement, and succeed like Jezebel. But Gcd did not forget his servant who had worked so diligently for his glcry. Ar.el3 are sent to' minister to Elijah. Hi3 work wa3 not completed.
