He r ©" peop of the warnings which they have had, drought and famine, blight and locust swarm, Plague and quake, yet they have not repented. Tn the greater calamity that is comin upon them they will meet an offended God whose laws of justice and human kindness they have not obeyed. And Je mos, true prophet of a merciful God, hoping against hope that a way of deliverance may yet be found, exhorts this sinful ple to repentance, and intercedes on them with God that they may be forgiven. I. 'A DIRGE AND AN EXHORTATION, 5: The lamentation; pr dirge (v. 1) is cast in the form of la verse of poetry (v. 2) with a peculiarly mournful rhythm, which may be imitated in English as follows: "Fallen, no more to rise, the virgin of Israel; : her land, none to lift T up. Here Amos is anticipating the cal- amity which he expects to fall upon Israel as a punishment for its sins, and in his prophetic vision he sees it as already present, and the land fallen into ruin and decay. The pro- het's messages of warning and of ex- rtation were spoken as early as C. 750, and in 722, after a long period of civil strife, and a long siege of the capital city of Samaria by Assyrian armies, the kingdom of Israel came to an end, and many of her people were carried away into captivity, see 2 Kings 16:8-31 and 17:1-23. The pre- diction of Amos was fulfilled. In v. 8 the prophet describes the condition to which the country will be reduced as the result of internal strife and invasion by foreign ene- a recent earth-. B.| Toronto recently. seec little these he predicts the fall of the royal house of Israel. The king mentioned is Jeroboam II. a short account of whose reign will be found in 2 Kings 14:28-20. This declaration made at Bethel, a sanctuary under royal pat- | ronage, aroused the wrath of the chief | priest, who ordered Amos to return at once to his own country of Judah. The prophet's simple defence of his divine ission and stat t of his call to the prophetic office (vs. { 14-16), is very impressive.

For Je- hovah is not only the great God, the , Mm: of the starry heavens and ruler of light and darkness, of sea and land, but he is able to read the innermost thoughts of men's hearts, and he is the defender of the spotled against the strong (vs. 8-0, compare 4:18) : The Gate was both the entrance to a walled city and the broad square within, 'The latter was the market place and the place .of public. con- course, where the judges of the city held daily session, An upright judge who rebuked evil-doers was hated. phet indignantly denounces the rich who oppress the poor, who posed as feudal lords over their poorer rs, exacting from them gifts of the produce of their labor in re- turn for their patronage, who took and ustice, a par- deepieable kind of sinners .
