UNION RECORDER. MILLEDGEVILLE, GA.. MARCH 28, 192*
INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY
SCHOOL LESSON FOR APRIL 7
THE MINISTRY OF ISAIAH
D. D.
Six month* are now tn be given
to the Old Testament. Th<} general
-itle is "Prophetic Teaching and
Leadership of Judah." The Aim, as
stated by the International Lesson?
Committee, is “To lead the pupils in
discovering and appreciating how
God. through prophets and other
leaders, gave and guidance to the
people of Judah, in order that the
pupils may come to see the hand of
God in their own lives in all numan
affairs." Five weeks are given to
Isaiah, so read that book in that time.
Th:* series continues the course
which concluded with "From .Samuel
o I n-ah" December 1927. and is
part of the six year cycle.
\ great heart ache led Isaiah to
a special audience with God.
Her. kiah the efficient and greatly
ht.Vtrd king died and life for the
nation looked dark indeed. There is
a I way* resource in the recourse to
prayer and the prophet was comfort,

Jehovah. Spiritual sight pierced be.

Isaiah beheld his enthroned Lord in
ir.-jertsc setting. Heavenly messeng
ers were about Him. Their six wings
■ypified worship, humility and ser
vice. Salutation was heard in the
rntipbonal greeting "Holy, holy, holv
js Jehovah of host?: the whole earth
is full of his glory."
Instantly the consciousness of the
presence of Deity made Isaiah aware
of :)is own sinful human nature by
contra- . It is always so. As we
com. unto Him we are mindful of
the deference, ns the real self is
acknowledged. Isaiah'? outcry was

I.-aiah served faithfully during
four reigns. He fulfilled the office
of n prophet. He froetold the truth
us a messenger commanded by Je
hovah. No toil was too hard to be
undertaken in obeying a commission.
He boldly faced kings as well as
peasants, /or every class equally

ing the office of a pastor, told him
"Set thy house in order," in prepara

A? an introduction to the poem
which follows, the author ray cousir.
Dr. Ed Thurman, of Americus, Ga.,
wrote the flolowing preface:
Dr. Thomas B. Meadows,
MilledgeviUe, Ga.
Dear Torn:
To get the re_al kick (mule kick)
from the enclosed read the refrain
with some emphasis. As a boy you
doubtles? heard people at time? speak
to mules with some degree of firm
ness. Down here :n South Georgia
we have heard men inflict language
on he lowly brutes that bordered
dangerously near the offensive. You
may never have cursed a mule your
self. hut there are those none too
Hi-'fintly related to you that have
been guilty of this offense.
I get more thrill out of the poem
by substituting "Beck” for "Jane,"
for the mule that I used to persuade
to obey with my farm dialect was
called old Beck. My mule had one
very commendable habit that appeal
ed to me far more than to my father.
My dear old Beck would insist on
qui'ting immediately after the first
dinner bell rang in the community
I found it absolutely noces-ary t«
take out and ge to dinner when the
bell rang.
The poem is as follows:
And, oh, what a faith
The plow-man shows.
As he treads each year
Those selfsame rows;
And prays as he plows
For a generous yield
As he shouts as he toils
Out across the fields;
“O, Gee there, Jane!
Won’t you Haw there mule!
Ain’t you got no sense?
You durned old fool!"
And don't forget
It’s a poor reward
That the plowman gets
For his labor hard;
And don’t forget,
Though he may seem rude,
He holds in his hands
Your clothes and food.
And it’s music sweet
To the car? of men

GEE THERE. JANE
(By E. L. Thu
‘he rain has soaked
The farmers’ fields,
I is work’s delayed
And how blue he feels!
lut the sun will shine
And the ground dry out,
Will the plowboy shout:
You durned old fool.’
“O. Gee there. Jane!
Won’t you Haw there mule!
Ain’t you got no sense?
You durned old fool!"
And let us think
Of the things so fine
That are brought by the boy
Who pulls the line
Across the back
Of this old mule
That he love? yet calls
Her a "durned old fool.”

As the clouds pass by.
And the sun shines out
From a clear blue sky;
And, oh, how soon
We forget the rain
As across the fields
Comes the shrill refrain,
“O, Gee there, Jane!
Won’t you Haw there mule!
Ain’t you got no sense?
You durned old fool!"
