"The Neu> Heart.'

YOCKO MDBS’ nmLK CLASS, METHODIST
SUNDAY SCHOOL.
We now lake up the prophecies of
Ezekiel; but, before entering into the
subject of the Lesson, lei me give a brief
history of this great Prophet.
Ezekiel was a priest and the soa of
Baxi who was also a priest, ami lx,long
ed to the srnstocracy of Jerusalem. He
was taken captlvo with King Jehoiacbin
to Babylonia, in 597 B. U., by Nebu
chadnezzar, and lived in a Jewish settle
ment at Telnbib on the liror Gliobar.
He received the prophetic call at the
ago of thirty, in the fifth year of the op.
tivity, and the last dale given by him
was the twenty-seventh year of the cap
tivity, Urns making the time of his
prophecies cover shout 22 years.
He was contemporary with three other
Greater Prophets—lsaiah, Jeremiah and
Darnel—and witli the noted hetbons So
lon, llio Athenian law-giver, arid Sappho,
Greek poetess, and has been called the
“Dante” of the Bible, Ho, like Jere
miah, prophesied before and after tho
dcstrnction of Jerusalem, though all of
his prophecies were written m Babylonia.
The Book of Ezekie l was considered
tho most difficult in Hebrew oouon by
the Jews, and they would not permit any
one under 80 years of age study it.
This Book is divided into three parts,
and each part denis with different sub
jects.
1. Chapters 1 24 contain an account
of the Prophet’s call, and the wonderful
vision of the four living crouturna with
the four faces.
2. Chapters 25 33 contain the Proph-
ectes against tbo foreign nations who re
jo'ced at the fall of Jcrnsilem.
3. Chapters 33 47 contain tho Proph
ecies of Israel's restoration, from which
wo get to-day’s Lesson, and which fnrii
illhee comfort for nil Christian nations.
God raised up this noble Prophet es
peoislly to bring His words of waru
to his rebellious people, who had gone
away.into idolatry nnd sin. But how
merciful Ho is I Though they had so
often grieved Him by their rebellion,
listen what he tells them, and not only
to them, but to all people, come theso
words from His Word, spoken by this
Prophet:
"I will sprinkle clean water upon you,
and ye shall be clean.”
This sprinkling cl clean water with a
hrnnoh of hyssop lias always been a sym
bol of cleansing among tho Eastern na
tions, nnd no doubt was tho mothod us
ed by John the Baptist and by tho Apos
tles on tho day of Pentecost, when they
baptized so ninny unto repentance ; nnd
even now it is believed by many to be
tbo raodo of Christian baptism to be used.
"1 will oleauso yon from all your idols. 44
Not one idol, but all, thus rnnking
them pure. Ho now, when wo ask iu
faith, lie will cleanse na from ull onr
sins, and will keep us, even in times of
greatest temptation.
Idolatry seems to have boon the great
est sin of tho Jewish people, nnd Hie
most abhorred by our God. Are not
ninny of our so-called Christians of to
day idolatrous ? While wo do not have
the images of gold and of brass put up
bofuru us, yet do we not often permit the
love of money to come between us nnd
God ; or do wo uot worship at tho shrine
of fashion ? Ah I I fear we oro not the
nation God iuteudod us to bo when He
gave us so much prosperity, no him
seeu iu our bonrts that we are forgetting
from wheuoo our help comes ; and, if we
do not make haste amt turn from our
idols, we, too, will bo where Israel was,
with our lauds laid waste. Bui, if no
will turn quickly, ns Israel did, we, too,
shall ho restored to lands of plenty. For
Ho uot only made Israel clean, but said :
4, Ye shall dwell in tho land that I gave
your fathers, and yo Bliall bo my people.
Yea, more than this; 1 will bo your God,
aud there shall bo uo more famine, but
tbo land shall be as tho Garden of Eneu."
Listen! “Not for year snkes do I
this.”
Y'ou see, Israel had done nothing to
bo worthy of such mercy nt tho hand of
God, yet Ho is ever merciful.
Thou turned limy from their evil ways
and went no more after strange Gods,
and then wero all of these promises ful
filled to them. Aud so they will be to
us if we, ns a Christian nation, learu the
lessen from Israel and call for mercy and
grnco, not for our sakes, but that the
holy name of our Lord luny be glorified.
"Tlio Now Heart" makes anew life.
Therefore, tbo stony heart, which is fill
ed with bitterness and evil speaking, "1
will take uway, aud I will give you a
heart of flesh,” which is neither lmrd
nor revengeful, but is full of love for
God aud man.
"t will put my spirit within you. and
cause you lo walk iu my statutes.”
To the reader of our present day this
Lesson seems clearly to teach tho doc
trine of personal regeneration, but the
masses of the Jews of Ezekiel’s time did
not seem to understand it thus. To them
it was symbolical language, which meant
Unit ou the day of restoration they woul i
be a different people from their former
idolatrous selves.
"Then shall the heal ben know that I,
, the Lord, am your God.”
1 Let us. therefore, strive that wo may
; let the light of a Clnisi- iko null iu sj
ehiuo that, through otir lives, tho beath
ieu will see aud know that there is one
God, and that He is our God, and will
turn to Him from their Idols.

Atlanta, July 13, 1890.
Hon. O B Stevens, Commissioner of
Agriculture, Atlanta, Ga.:
Dear Sir—Replying to yonrs of this
dote, In which you request uiy opinion
npon three questions relative to tho in
spection of oils, I bog leave to submit
tho following:
1. i think that under paragraphs 1
and 9 of section 1 of the
cotie, oil Inspectors are authorized and
directed to find the burning point in il
luminating oils or other finids offered
for sale in this state under tho formula
prescribed therein at any point betweon
95 degrees and 120 degrees FuhrenheH.
2. It is tho duty of oil inspectors when
they find oil In tanka held by wholesale
dealers below the test required by taw
to condemn same and stamp npon such
tanks the words, "State of Georgia, ro
joctcd, ” as proscribed by paragraph 9
of section 15S8, and place thereon the
name of tho inspector and the date of
the inspection. 1 do not think an in
spector is authorized to confiscate such
oil, but it is his duty to prosecute any
person who sells or offers for tale such
rejected oil under section 007 of the pe
nal code, which declares that any per
son who shall sell or offer for salo re
jected oil shall be guilty ot a raisde
meaner, and that tho fine imposed
therefor shall be given to the pnblio
school fund in tho coauty in which
the offense is committed. Tho inspec
tor, however, may allow the owner of
such oil to raise the standard of same
up to'the test required by law, but be
fore any rejected oil is offered for sale
o new inspection should lie had shew
ing that it comes fully up to the require
ments of the law. Iu case a tank of re
jected oil be so brought up to the stand
ard the owner thereof would be liable
for the fees for the second inspection.
3. Under paragraph 2 of section 1688,
oil inspectors are required to use Tag
liabue’s or other well defined instru
ments prescribed by the commissioner
!of agriculture. Under this provision of
j the law yon have authority to prescribe
i whatever instruments in your judgment
I may be best to insure safe oils to tho
i people of Georgia.
Very respectfully,
J. M. Terrell. Attorney Gon't
