"Elijah Hears G-cd's Voice"
I Kings, 14:9-1S.
Elijah is a unique and difTieult
character to analize and tb tinder
,5-tU'-. Adjure -. Wl c-ou05k 'and
his sublime faith; that majestic hear
ing that commands respect and bor
ders on the heroic; that childlike re
liance on God in a crisis, never doubt
ing; a giant in prayer, held up as
an example. Then we he-hold him as
v. man. after experiencing the great
est triumph of bis life, to get fright-
cned when an enraged woman threat- :
ens to kill him, running away until
he falls exhausted and hides under a
juniper tree. We are actually puzzled
to understand this man and after all,
"Elijah was. a man subject to like
passions as we are." But we find he
war, always ready and willing to go
and do the will of God; in the end
the Lord honored him as no other
i.ian was honored; when his work
was finished "a chariot of fire and
I '.oiT.es cf fire" were at his disposal,
and i:i "a whirlwind went up into
heaven." (II Kings, 2:11).
But after his flight from Jezebel,
getting cut of the jurisdiction of
Ahab, i iro the wilderness south of
Bcersheba, discouraged and despond
ent, he requested that the Lord might
let him dio; now God takes him in
hand, lecds him. rests him and gives
hin work to do. A good antidote for
a despondent soul.
Fcr forty clryc he travels on these
two meals, criss-crosiintr the wihler-i
;ic s nf Sinai, ever which historic
ground the Israelites hud gone for
forty years, giving Elijeh ample time
and opportunity to think on the ways
(f G '.(' leading man and his patience
and l'.;.g:u: Tiering of wayward men,
and ; t (ho r; me time preparing the
prophet for the revelations of God's
dealing-; with his people in the fu
ture. At last Elijah reachc:; Horeb,
the neurit e-f Gol. Here God finds
Jiini and asks i very pertinent ques
tion: "What d.c:.t thou here, Eli
jah?" Many a man is in a place where he
does not belong. What answer could
a church member give God, who al
ways faithfully attends his lodge or
club meeting, but who i3 never found
in a prayer meeting? Or, God should
find him in a beer joint, or gambling
bouse? Or women members at card
parties and bridge games, but who
find no time to sturly a Sunday school
lesson to teach a o!a;s? Some time,
God will call and surprise these peo
ple with the question: "Whr.t drcst
thou here, church member?" "Why
are you not about your Father's j
Dusiness.' w ny waiKing in mo coun-!
scl cf the ungodly? "Why standing in
the way of sinners? Why sitting in
the seat of the scornful?" (Ps. J.)

Lesson Study!
By L. Neitzel, Slurdcck. Neb.
dcub: that Elijah had better have
been somewhere else. Everyone of us
rdiould ask himself this question:
"Am I in the place where God wants
h.:e to be? Am I doing the .w ork appointed-
me by. my. Creator, my. Sav
ior?" It is tho fundamental question
in any true life. The answer of Eli
jah shows that he had been more
jealous for Gods cause than God
himself: he almost complains that
Gcd had left his service in the lurch.
"Ar.d I. even I only, am left." . . .
"Scon there will be no one to tike
God s part and stand up for hin?.'
Elijah was giving too great prom
inence to himself in the matter. Now
the Lord teaches his servant an ob
ject lesson. He is in the s?me place
where Moses steed, in the cleft of the
reck when the Lord passed by. (Ex.
S3: 2 1-23). As Elijah stands in the
cleft of the rock, there passed by
a strong wind, earthquake and
fire, symbolic of His power, but God
wrs rot in those phenomena. Thus
had Elijah carried on his work on
Mount Carmel, but it brought not
about the conversion of the nation.
So it is today, these manifestations
cf God's power and might may bring
people to realize that there is a God
who rules the universe, but it is the
"still small voice" that finds an echo
in the soul cf man. "Net by might,
ncr by power, hut by my spirit, say
cth the Lcrd cf hosts." (Zock. 4:6).
The great work of regeneration is
wrought in the inner recesses of the
scul
'The wind bloweth where it
listed, and thou hearest the sound
thereof, hut canst not tell whence it
ffiiicth and v. hither it goeth; so is
every one that is born cf the spirit."
(John 3:S).
When Elijah heard that voice, he
found himself again; the storm in
hi-. soul passed, ho regained his poise
ar.f! became calm, ready to listen to
God's voire and take orders. "The
future is revealed to him. Great
things, arc going to take plate. The
long-suffering Gcd will deal with his
enemies. in his own time and way.
Some cne will carry the work cn.
Gcd buries hi 3 workmen, hut carries
cn hin work."
Ncr.e of us is indispensable; an
EHsha Is ready to carry on. Elijah is
to go backlo his people, ally himself
with the minority, become their lead
er, net run away any more and leave
them, supposing himself to be alone.
The storm chapter closes with a
calm and lovely scene; the summon
ing cf Elisha to the prophetic call
ing; who i3 immediately willing, af
ter snying ' Good-bye" to his father
and mother, and giving the towns-
vvi-tis a oanquet. mis young man
1 oceanic a great crmfcrt to the nid
l .
prophet, and Elijah must have re
joiced at finding such a worthy and
a hie successor.
