THE STRUGGLE FOR SOCIAL
JUSTICE
International Sunday School
Lesson for May 18, 1947
Golden Text: “Seek good,
and not evil, that ye may live.”
Amos 5: 14. Lesson Text: Amos
5: 6-15; 21-24.
About 26 centuries ago Amos
wrote one of the earliest books
of prophecy. It was just about a
century after the time of Elijah.
The prophetical works of the
Old Testament are divided into
four major prophets, Isaiah, Jer
emiah, Ezekiel and Daniel consti
tute the first group, and of the
latter, Amos, Hosea and Micah,
with Isaiah, constituted the four
great prophets of the Eighth
Century, B. C. The distinction
between the “major” and “min
or” prophets is purely arbitrary,
based on the volume of writ
tings.
Amos was a shepherd and a
farmer, living at Tekoa, a little
village six miles south of Bethle
hem. He was not trained as a
prophet and belongs to that se
lect company of great men in
the Bible who were humble
workers. Amos cared for a spe
cial variety of sheep and was
also a dresser of sycamore trees,
[Which bore a small fig. This was
pinched to hasten its ripening.
Hence, Amos was a fig pincher.
i The Book of Amos is not very
long, but it is our first literary
monument of its kind. The book,
as Rev. George L. Petrie says,
“has not the charm of poetry,
but it has the fascinating power
of oratory; an oratory, not of the
schools, but of nature; not or
nate, but rugged. The illustra
tions of the book are objects of
nature and scenes familiar to
plainest country life. Os all the
prophetic books, this is the one
[which the plain, unlettered la
borer on the farm, in the field
or forest, may most easily read.”
( The author was an able writ
er, however. Prof. Bernhard
Duhm says: “Amos speaks with
unpolished plainnes. But he can
handle his language with a mas
ter’s skill; every sentence is full
of meaning, and every word
strikes the mark. This reforming
soul belongs among the classic
writers of Israelite literature.”
Although Amos lived in the
country, he understood the life
of his age. He saw the wicked
ness of the cities when he Car-
Tied his product to market, and
many other evils, as Rev. Ber
nard C. Clausen enumerates:
(“Unscrupulous judges condemn
ed the innocent for paltry bribes.
The rich grasped the small pos
sessions of the poor. Prices were
fraudulently increased and the
measures were fraudulently di
minished, and bad grain was sold
(as good. The most shameful lic
entiousness was practiced. Idola
try, with its bestial immortali
(ties, was rampant. Everywhere
Amos saw wasteful luxury and
extravagance, the more disgrace
ful in contrast with the wretch
ed poverty of the people among
whom he lived.”
Amos spoke for social justice
and he uttered a plea, which the
world has not heeded yet. He
tells those who have become rich
by taking advantage of their fel
low-men that although they
build fine houses, they shall not
dwell in them. He condemns
without fear the social evils of
(his day. “The passion of Amos’
(soul is for the establishment of
(social justice,” says Prof. J. E.
(McFayden, “and his denuncia
(tions and threats fall upon the
heads of those who frustrate
(that, whether by incidental cru
elty, or, as here, by deliberate
violation of the principles of
equity in the courts of justice.
The worst offenders were those
who poisoned justice at its
source, those who by their venal
decisions made it a bitter thing
for the poor man when it ought
to have been sweet, and who
laid righteousness prostrate upon
the ground when she ought to
have been erect and smiling.”
He seeks to make the religion
of Israel a sincere one. Speak
ing for Jehovah he tells them
to “seek good and not evil” and,
with emphasis, “hate the evil
and love the good.” As for the
formal religious ceremonies he
points out that these mean noth
ing unless the people live right
eously. Outward, formal worship
will not be accepted by God and
he appeals to his hearers to “let
(justice roll down as waters and
righteousness as a mighty
stream.”
The preaching of Amos was
not appreciated by the king and
the priests of Israel and they
sent Amos back home where he
wrote his immortal little book.
“The writings of Amos are im
mortal words,” says J. E. McFad
yen: “They express in imperish
able form the essence of religion,
simple demands of God upon
men. The justice, the righteous
ness for which Amos here pleads,
is a social thing; it is tender re
gard for the poor, hatred of the
evil conditions that have devast
ated their lives; it is the spirit
which yearns and works for the
removal of those conditions; it
is, in a word, respect for per
sonality, fair play as between
man and man. Let justice, in
that sense, run through society,
unimpeded by avarice of self
ishness or cruelty, let it roll on
without let or hindrance like
the waves of the sea.”

BELLEFONTE, Pa.—Two Phil

23, and Albert Wooding, also 23,
were electrocuted recently for a
robbery-slaying in which they
made off with only $6. In secur
ing the money, they shot and
killed Thomas Burnby, 67, Phila

One of the saddest errors we
have made was giving any sup
port to Tito, a Communist up

result was that Mikhalovitch be
came a martyr and suffered
death at the hands of the ruth
