In order to understand thfu grout prophecy of Isaiah, our lesson for to day, we must first havo a vivid realiza tion of Tho Historical Situation. Road 2 Kings 17:1-23; 18:1-10; Chron. 29, 30. It Is about 725 B. C. iBoJah, tho royal prophot, was In Jerusalem, tho capital of Judah. Tho good King Ilesokiah, tho rulers nnd loaders of tho Btatu wero his audience. Tho nations wosto going nstrny, thoy woro worldly, drunken, Bclflsh, cruel, luxurious, op pressing tho poor, neglecting roilgton, forgetting God. From tho northwest woro coming great hordes of Assyrian soldiers dov- jaBinung everytning on their way. They had reached tho northorn king dom of which Samaria was tho cap ital. Llko an overwhelming acourgo these somi-savugo nrmloa wero over running tho country with all wanton crimes nnd cruelties, destroying every thing good. Thoy woro sweeping away cltlco and villages, farms, cattlo, orchards everything. Tho prophet sees thorn drifting, ns in tho rapids of Niagara, swiftly toward destruction. Ho boos tho Btorm-cloudB on tho horlton threat ening tempests and lightning blasts nnd destruction. Within threo or four yoarB Samaria, the capital, was captured, and the northern kingdom swept nut of exist ence by the Assyrians. But tho pcoplo of Jerusalem felt comparatively safe, for tholr city waa a mighty fortresB, a vory Gibraltar, rarely captured, and probably it nover could bo captured If tho peoplo within woro brave, united and truo. Tho prophet, pointing to tho north ern kingdom, warns his own poople that nothing could savo them It thoy continued to sin. "Ropont, or that overwhelming scourgo will swoop over Judca and Jerusalem in Its devastat ing courso." , V. 1. "Woo." Not a wish or a prayer for woe, but a warning that woo was coming. "To tho crown of pride." Tho capital, so called, bo- cause it crowned the hill, or oecauso Its battlcmentod walls resemblad a crown. "To (better 'of') tho drunk ards of Ephraim," put for tho wholo kingdom, because Ephraim was the leadlngtrlbe. "Whose glorious beauty." Tho "glorious beauty" of Samaria wan a beauty of magnificent luxury. "Sum mer" and "winter houses," distinct each from tho other (Amoa 3:15); "Ivory palaces" (1 Kings 22:39; Anion 3:15); a wealth of "gardens, vino yards, flg-orchurds and ollvo yards" (Amos 4:9); residences of "hewn stono" (Amos 5:11); feasts oullvonod (with "the molody of viola" (Amoa 5:23); "bodn of ivory" (Amos 6:4); '"wine In bowls" (Amoa C:C); "chief ointments" (Amos 6:6) constituted a total of luxurious refinement boyond which few nations had proccedod at tho time. Rawllnson. "Is a fading flower." It was a kind of bdauty that was liable to fado. It had nothing of tho riches that endure V. 2. "The Lord hath a mighty nnd strong one." The Lord would uao tho Assyrian power, "as a tempest of hall, and a destroying storm" to punish the wlckednoss which was Injuring tho peoplo far moro than tho Assyrian hordes could tholr outward prospor Ry. V. 4. "Ab tho hastv fruit" 1L V.. "tho first rlpo fig," BWlf'Jy decaying or destroyed by tho birdc V. 5. Turning from this "crown of prldo" and "fading flowor" aud "decay ing fruit" of sin, tho prophot points to tho only truo "crown of glory and diadem of beauty, tho Lord of hosts." V. 6. For ho would bring to them tho "spirit of Judgment," Justlco, right eousness, nnd turn back "tho battle at tho gate," dofeatlng aud Bcattorlng their enemies. V. 7. Then ho shows ono source of tholr woes, "orrod through wlna . . . out of tho way . . . through strong drink," thoroforo "thoy orr tn vision, thoy stumble lu Judgment."

Aro wo mere school children to bo chlded and (warned In this way? V. 10. "For precept must bo upon jprocopt." Tho R. V. gives tho truo meaning: "For it Ib precopl upon Wecopt." Tho prophot Is telling tho pamo story all tho time, continually re peating, overywhoro, all tho Umo, in season, out of season, the same old warning. Tho prophet unflwors: "This Boems monotonous to you, but you will havo janothor kind of monotony if you do tint otva linnrl r mv winlu " "ItVts uflfrli not give hood to my words." "For with stammering lips." Bottor aB R.

God had pointed out to thorn how thoy might havo rest and prospetlty, "yot thoy would not hour (12)," 13.
