came to light nt Harvard university n

registered In the Harvard graduate

Romance Entered Life.
Then, when he was twenty-six, came
his romance. He met the (laughter of
n Wisconsin doctor. She was a gradu.
ate of a Nebraska college, and far re
moved from Wedge's station In life,
but they were married. Then Ik
reallzod the great difference In thelt
Intellectual standards, so he gave up
the ring to secure an education with
the money he had earned as u prize
lighter. For six years he attended a
preparatory school, where he did VI
years of elementary work to prepare
for college.
He entered the University of Ne
braska, but the war interrupted his
work. He went to Camp Grant as a
boxing Instructor, and there another
obstacle appeared. The doctors pro

YOUNC1 PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
-Hoclul Evils Yet to Ho Conquered.
The kingdom of Israel reached a
hjh' state of prosperity In the time of
.leroboam II, ami with It came a con
dition of luxury, corruption und
wickedness.
The judgment woe of this lesson Is
directed against the sins of the upper
classes In Samaria. The same sins art
practiced In America, In the nation
and In the church. With the Increase?
of wealth In America has come luxury,
corruption und gross wickedness which
staggers the imagination. It behooves
all to give a listening car, for God will
eventually enter Into judgment. Our
lesson Is a temperance lesson. Temper
ance applies to other things thnn In
dulgence In Intoxicating liquor. Our
ago is Intoxicated with pleasure, pur
suit of gain and selfish ambition.
I. Reckless Security (vv. 1-3).
They were blind to the perils thnt sui
rounded them. They were living in a
fool's pnmdlso, closing their eyes to
the approaching storm of judgment as
predicted by Amos. They trusted In
the mountains of Samaria for their
protection. They regarded their city
as Impregnable. They no doubt re
garded the utterance of Amos as im
practicable. the dreams of a fanatic.
Tho tragic thing about this blindness
on the part of the chief ones of the
nation was they were so puffed up
with pride that they failed to read
the signs of the times In the light of
history (v. '-.'.) The cities of Culnch
and Hainath, though great and mighty,
had fallen.' To disregard the lessons
of history, to iIImiiIss the thought of
Impending Judgment, Is to bring nenr
tRO "seat of violence" (v. l). Let
chaotic Europe and Russia be the red
lights of warning to America, and let
all Injustice and class selfishness be
laid aside.
II. Luxury (vv. -1-0).
The luxury of these upper clnsses in
Samaria expressed itself In: 1. Extrav
agant furniture (v. -1). Tliey had beds
of Ivory perhaps wood inlaid with
Ivory. Costly as their furniture was in
that day, It was commonplace as com
pared to some of the expensive furni
ture and fittings in our great cities.
2. Laziness (v. 4). They stretched
themselves upon their couches lived
lives of Indolence. Such is tho way
of many still.
:t. Feasted on delicncles (v. 4). Th&
Implication here Is that they had their
dainties out of season. This Is what
many of the rich pride themselves In.
L Adorn their feasts with music
(v. .r). They sang Idle songs even In
vented musical Instruments for this
purpose. They prostituted the noble
art of musk to their sensual feasts.
fi. They drank wine (v. 0). They
were not content with ordinary drink
ing vessels. They drank from howls,
Indicating excessive drinking. They
were so mastered by thu Intoxicating
cup that their feasts which wero
adorned with thu rellnements of music
ended In drunkenness.
III. Failure to Grieve for Joseph
(v. 0).
Joseph hero stands for F.pliralin
and Mannsseh, his two sons. Fph
mini became thu principal trllm
of the northern kingdom, so Joseph is
used as 11 synonym for the nation. Thu
upper classes were Indulging In theso
olYominiite luxuries, entirely Indifferent
to the groanlngs of the masses. And
whenever such n condition exist In a
nation there is need of Amos to
thunder God's judgment upon tlioso
who are guilty of it.
IV. The Inevitable Issue (vv. 7, 8).
1. They shall go Into captivity (v. 7).
The northern nation was first In sin,
therefore first to go into captivity.
What a striking contrast this picture l
Instead of lying on Ivory couches
feasting upon dainties, they nro with
the suffering exiles.
'. The certainty of the Issuu (v. S).
It Is Inevitable because of God's na
ture. Ho Is a God of justice. Ho
ban sworn that judgment shall fall.
Ua Is tho God of hosts the controller
of the whole universe, therefore none
can escape. God hates the wickedness
of the world, and He will bring Into
Judgment the men nnd women who
revel In luxury with no concern for
(he poor nnd needy. Though God
waits long. He does not forget, '"ho
only escape for America Is repentance.
Abide In Him.
And now. little children, abide In
Him j thnt when He shall appear, we
may havo confidence, nnd not bo
ashamed nt Ills coming. I John li:28.
Great Mischiefs.
Great mischiefs happen more often
from folly, mennvess, and vanity, than
from tho greater sins of avarice and
ambition. llurke.
