(Copyright, 1904, by American Preo* Association.)
The Intervening story between our
last lesson and this is full of interest,
but we are asked to pass It all by auu
give our attention to this most Inter
esting nnd prod table account of tbe
translation of Elijah, our golden text
associating it with tbe translation of
Enoch, who walked with God and wa£
not, for God took him, or, according to
lleb. xi, 5, lie was not found, for God
had translated him. This should be of
the utmost interest and Importance to
believers, for there is always a possi
bility that we, too, may bo translated,
caught up in the clouds to meet the
Lord iu the air (I These, v, 17), for we
shall not all sleep, hut we shall all be
changed iu a moment, in tbe twinkling
of an eye (I Cor. xv, 51, 52). This will
be the experience of all true believers
who shall be alive on the earth when
our Lord shall come again, and, inas
much as His coming Is always Immi
nent, it. might be the experience of
those who are living today.
The time bad come when tbe Lord
would take*up Elijah by a whirlwind
into heaven, and our lesson records tbe
Journey of Elijah nnd Elisha from Gll-
gai to Bethel and Jericho and through
Jordan, and the separation of Elijah
and Elisha, Elisha becoming the suc
cessor of Elijah with a double portion
of'bis spirit. Elisha’s thrice repeated
"As the Lord Hveth, nnd as thy soul
liveth. I will not leave thee" is one of
tbe most Interesting and suggestive
words of our lesson (verses 2, i, C) nnd
reminds us of the devotion of Ruth to
Naomi and of Ittal to David (Ruth
1, 1(1; 11 Sam. xv, 21). and this ought to
be our dovotiou to Christ
The places Gllgal, Bethel, Jericho and
Jordan may suggest different expert
ences in the life of a believer, taking
the suggestions from the meanings of
the words or from Incidents associated
with the places—Gllgal, reproach rolled
away; Bethel, house of God or vision
of God; Jericho, city of palm trees, the
waters healed; Jordan, river of judg
ment » Some believers may have only
tho assurance of solvation, all sins for
given; others have some special roani
testation* of God; others have learned
to let alone the waters that cannot sat
isfy and drink only of the living water
that gives health; still others see that
they are dead with Christ, buried with
Christ, risen with Christ, like the
twelve stones under Jordan and the
twelve at Gllgal (Josh, lv, 8, 0), but to
men like Elisha no experience satisfies,
nothing but a living person, to whom
tbe whole heart says "I will not leave
thee"—not His gifts, not His riches
of grace or glory, but Himself, apart
from whom all Is as nothing.
The bride eyes not her garments, but
her dear bridegroom’s face. 1 will not
gaze at glory, but on my King of grace.
The same thought is presented In the
words of verses 7, D— "They two

went on. they two stood, they two
went over." This suggests "the Lord
ond Gideon" (Judg. vll, 18, 20), and
Enoch's walk with God, and the essen
tials to a walk with God~*'How can
two walk together except they b«
agreedt” "Humble thyself to walk
with God" (Amos 111, 8; Mic. vl, 8).
The Lord hath spoken. We cannot
walk with Him unless we meekly ac
cept Hla word, and we cannot walk In
fullest Intimacy with Him unlesa we
accept all Hla worda, "believing all
thlnga that ore written." To do this, all
of aelf and aelf anlBdency and human
wisdom must be renounced and the
Lord and HJa word become onr all
sufficient oracle. The meek will He
teach Hla way. |f wo allow anything
to come Into our Uvea that la not of
God—coinpanJonabJp, occupation, recre
ation In which we caunot have fellow*

marred, our communion broken. He
may have to say to us as He did to the
two with whom He walked to Emnmus.
'Oh, fools, and slow of heart to believe
all that tho prophets have spoken”
(Luke xxlv, 25). Let us not give Him
occasion to any this, but let us be
most surely believers.”
Tbe last helpful word we shall have
apace to consider In this brief medita
tion will be Elijah’s offer and Elisha's
request, "Ask what I shall do for thee,”
"Let ft double portion of thy spirit be
upon me" (verse 9). The condition on
which the request would be granted
was that Elisha should see him when
he was taken. As they still went on
and talked we may not know in what
direction Elijah looked, possibly look
lng upward, but there can be no doubt
as to wherb Elisha’s eyes were, for If
he looked a way from Elijah for only
one brief moment he might rntss that
which he desired. So we see him with
his gaze Intently and unwaveringly
fixed upon ills companion.
It Is the same intense earnestness
that Is required of us If we would be
filled with the Spirit. The word stands.
"Ye shall seek Me and find Me when ye
shall search for .Me with nil your
hpart" (Jer. xxlx, 13). The eyes of the
Lord are still looking over the earth
for those whose hearts are whole to
ward Him (11 Chron. xv!. 9). Elisha
saw Him taken with the whlrlwfjid
and chariot and horses of fire, und It
soon became very manifest to the son*
of the prophets.that the spirit of Elijah
did Indeed rest on Elisha. It Is greatly
