■ L Elijah Meet* Ahah. (w. XT, 18).
At the Lord’s command Elijah
showed himself to Ahab. When Eli
jah last was seen by Ahab he an
nounced that rain would only be given
by his word (17:1). In connection
with the prophet’s appearance before
the king, rain was promised.
1. Ahab’s Question. “Art thou he
that troubleth Israel?" (v. 17). Ahab’s
aim was to Intimidate Elijah, to awe
him Into sabtnlssloa.
2. Elijah's Answer, (v. 18). He
denied the charge and boldly de
clared that the calamity which had
befallen the nation was caused by
the Idolatry of Ahab and his family.
IL Elijah’s Challenge, (vr. 10-24).
1. The People Assembled, (rr. Id,
20). The king convened the paopla
at the argent reqrest of Elijah.
2. Elijah's Ringing Call te Decision
(w. 21-24). (1) The Question naked,
"Who Is your God, Baal or tha LordT
(v. 21). Many of the people had
not wholly forsaken God. They at
tempted to worship both God and
BaaL Many today are halting be
tween two opinions. They are halt
ing between self and Savior, sin and
holiness, mammon and God. (2) The
silence of the people, (v. 21). This
may have been because of fear of the
king or of ignorance, for many were
of the opinion that to be religions
was the only thing necessary, Ir
respective of the being worshiped.
There la all the difference between
merely worshiping and really wor
shiping God that there Is betweca
hell and heaven. (5) Tbe method
of declalon (vv. 22-24). Two sacri
fices were to be provided—one to be
offered to Baal, the other to God. The
god who answered by Are was to be
the God. The people consented that
this was a fair test Accepted sacri
fice Is the grand a*d supreme test
by which God Is calling upon men
everywhere to make the decision be
tween Christ and the heathen gods.
IIL The Teat Applied (w. 25-28).
1. The Offering by tha Propfeet* sff
Baal (vv. 2520). Elijah gave the
prophets of Baal the sret opportunity
to prove to the people as to whether
Baal was a real god. The real differ
ence In the Issue of prayer la the
person to whom prayer la mads.
2. The Offering by Elijah (w. 80-
80). <1) The people Invited bent
(v. 30). His object was for them fie
see the entire proceedings In order
to fully grasp the genuineness of the
test (2). The altar repairs (w. 80-
82). Elijah took twelve stones repre
senting the united nation. (3). The
offering on the altar (w. 83-86). Af
ter the bullock was In place he had
four barrels of water three times
emptied upon the emeritioe and tha
wood so as to dll tha trench about
the altar. So sure was Elijah that
God's power was sufficient that ha
heaped difficulty upon difficulty. (4).
Elijah’s prayer (w. 80, ST), (a) It
was based upon covenants (v. 88).
The foundation upon which all real
prayer rests Is covenant relationship,
(b) Its object was God’s exaltation
(v. 86). Elijah was Jealous fee God's
glory. His supreme desire was te
honor and magnify the Lord, (c) It
was for the salvation of the people,
(v. 87). His heart yearned after
Israel. He was moat desirous that
they should come to God. (W The re
sult (w. 8a 88). (a) Tba fcw sf the
Lord fell and consumed sot only the
sacrifice but the wood, stones and
dust, even licking up the water h
the trench, (b) The people fell on
their faces and confessed that the
Lord was the God.
IV. The Execution of Baafa Proph

The reason for this drastic action
was that Israel's government was a
theocracy. God wan thsfr king.
Idolatry wsa treason agate* tte

Well, as I have been absent for
awhile, Will write a few lines foi
the good old North Georgian.
Glad to Bee so many correspon
dents writing from the different
parts of the county, telling us
how they are getting along. Some
of them tellmg about their Sun
day schools, some giving verses
of|Scripture to read. We like to
see these verses, for that is an
evidence that they are studying
their Bibles.
Come on, Bob White, for you
always give us some Scripture to
think about, and always give us
good advice.
(Bob White has moved from
the county, being located at New
Holland.—Editor.)
Whv should we not think about
each other’s good and welfare
enough to sav something to cheer
each other up with—some word
found in God’s word?
Now I want to ask every cor
respondent to go to meeting ev
ery Sunday and tell us what kind
of a meeting you had, and about
your Sunday school, how you are
getting along in it, etc.
We are always glad to hear
from Mercer Williams, for his
pieces are always interesting and
good for us to read, Why can’t
more of us write like he does?
We could if we were interested
like he is. We are proudot young
men like Mercer. He is not just
trying to live for his own good,
but he wants to help others, and
that i3 the way we all ought to
live, that we might help others
along in this world.
J W Thomas filled his appoint
ment the first Sunday over at
Riverside church, in Gwinnett
county, and went to Harmony
Gryve the second Saturday and
Sunday and preached both days
in the pastor’s place.
Next Saturday and Sunday are
regular meeting days at Zion Hill
Just two months till the Sun
day School Convention will be
here, We ought to make it one
of the best conventions that has
ever been held in the county, and
we can, if we try.
I wonder what has become of
the preachers and deacons meet
ing? I have not heard of it this
year. I think the committee must
have forgotten the time and
place, or they would have said
something about it. We have
been looking for something to
pome out in the paper about it.
Hope it has not played out, for
it was a good meeting. 1 think
it is worth as much as a union
moeting. We could meet and dis
cuss different subjects and get
each others opinions, which is
helpfvl, I think, if we can do this
with the right spirit.
*WeII, I will close for this time,
hoping to hear from all the cor
respondents regularly.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they shall see God.
Blessed are the meek for they
shall inherit the earth,
With best wishes to all I re
main, as ever.
J. W. Thomas.
