SUNDAY SCHOOL
... LESSON...
ISAIAH DENOUNCES SIN
Lesson for July 23rd. Isaiah 5:1-30.
Golden text: Proverbs 14:34.
By REV. CHAS E. DUNN
Our lesson text is a flaming pas
sage from Isaiah in which the
prophet hurls thunderbolth of de
fiance at Judah for her manifold
sins. There are six counts in his in
dictment.
First he denounces the greed for
land. Wealth was becoming the pos
session of the few through the
seizure of small properties by
powerful landowners. Cruel evictions,
by which the peasants lost both
homes and citizenship, were common.
A similar situation exists today.
There has been an immense concen
tration of business wealth into the
hands of two hundred corporations
managed by a relatively small group.
The rank and file are deprived of
their rightful share of this enormous
capital. Millions are jobless, and at
least one-third of our population is
inadequately housed.
The prophet then grapples with the
perennial liquor problem, pronounc
ing woe upon all who stain their
souls by indulgence in riotous de
bauchery. There is a timely warn
ing here for America in this hour
when she is abandoning the experi
ment of prohibition. Can we, with
our flare for excitement, exercise
moderation in the handling of in
toxicants?
The third woe is directed against
hardened-rascals who mock and chuc
kle with apparent impunity. We see
them, following Moffatt’s vivid trans
lation, drawing “guilt on themselves
by stout ungodliness, as with a rope,”
“harnessing themselves” to sin, and
sneering at God with a blustering
challenge, “Pray let us see what he
will do!” Our modern world can
boast of many such.
The fourth woe is cast at those
who deny the clear distinctions of the
moral law, who “call evil good, and
good evil.” In our own confused era,
how many there are who so blur the
differences between right and wrong
that black seems white, and white
black!
What a timely, practical lesson!
America, in her emergency, needs,
primarily, old-fashioned integrity of
character. Isaiah’s clarion call to
righteousness sounds a note we do
well to hear.
APPLICATION FOR
BUILDING PERMIT
This is to give notice that we
will apply to the city council for
permit to build of fire-proof ma
terial a store room west of our
warehouse upon the railroad right
of-way approximately 300 feet from
Cuthbert street.
