II Kind II. 1-11. Memory Verses, 0-11—Golden Text, Gen. y, 24—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearne. (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 With every dollar your trade you are entitled to one guess in the , $500.00 PRIZE CORN CONTEST. A. F.

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.

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.
