that they must insist on what they mink of as their rights in or der to be cordially recogiuzed by those of the majority party if in- itcad of giving way to sensitive ness and becoming offended when their claims are ignored they would seek to be of service to oth ers they would soon be surprised to find how differently they are looked upon 1 a ebedmelech we see a man of ethiopia whose name will be held in everlasting remem brance xth by god and man be cause of the consideration he show ed to the prophet jeremiah in his time of great need and distress- ebedmelech might have reason ed that inasmuch as he and jere miah were men of different races and cultural standards he there fore had no responsibility toward the prophet of jehovah who was being treated so badly by men of his own race and nation but in stead of this the kindly ethiopian saw in jeremiah a brotherman in affliction who needed a friend and he determined to do the part of a friend toward him it is evident that this colored man had come to know the true and living god and so was of the same spiritual fam ily as jeremiah despite the dif ference in the color of their skins god took note of his kindly con cern and saw to it that his name was recorded in holy scripture as an example for others to follow in after days tho historical setting we are not certain of the name of this ethiopian ebedmelech means servant of the king and may simply designate him as a bondman in the household of ze- dekiah king of judah it was the cognomen by which he was known at that time and by which we know him today we have no re cord of his life apart from what is told us in chapters 38 and 39 of this book of jeremiah when no one else came to assist the prophet who had been cast into a filthy pit because of his faithful ness in giving out the word of the lord ebedmelech appeared and gave him the help he needed verse by verse lor 387 ebedmelech one of the eunuchs which was in the kings house heard that they had put jeremiah in the dungeon when this word came to the poor ethiopian slave for such he evi dently was he could not rest un til he had done something about it to him jeremiahs plight was a cruel tragedy calling for friendly intervention verse 8 ebedmelech went forth and spake to the king undoubtedly he was well acquaint ed with king zedekiah so he did not fear to go to him direct in or der to intercede for the persecuted prophet verse 9 these men have done evil to jeremiah and he is like to die for hunger in the place where he is fearlessly and faithfully ebedmelech plead ed jeremiahs cause telling zede kiah of the famine conditions pre vailing and of the hopeless plight of the prophet unless something could be done for him and that speedily verse 9 then the king com manded take thirty men and take up jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon before he die aroused to some sense of his own responsibility in the matter the king commanded that a party of thirty men go to draw the prison er out of the filthy pit in whici he had been cast verse 11 ebedmelech took old cast clouts that is old discarded garments and old rot ten rags and let them down by cords these old clothes and rags speak eloquently of the thought- fulness of the ethiopian eunuch for which the elimination contests will soon be under way provides for local club county district and zone elimination contests

markham 211 he knew the aged prophet would suffer terribly if the cords were all that kept him from falling back into the pit as he was being drawn upward verse 12 put now these old cast clouts and rotten rags under thine armholes under the cords thus cushioned the cords would not cut into the flesh and injure jeremiah as the men sought to draw him up from the pit the grateful prophet recognized the wisdom of this and did as he was commanded verse 13 so they drew up jeremiah and took him up out of the dungeon the plan worked well and jeremiah was lifted out of the filth and mire into which lie had been cast and where his enemies hoped he would die as he was a prisoner still he remained in the court of the prison until such time as the king might see fit to free him ciiap 3915 the word of the lord came unto jeremiah while he was shut up in the court of the prison prison walls could not shut god out he was with his servant in his sufferings and now he came to him with a spec ial message for the colored man who had been so considerate of him one is reminded of george midlers words to j hudson tay lor in view of possible imprison ment in china for christs sake he said remember they may wall you round but they cannot roof you in verse 10 speak to ebedmel ech saying thus saith the lord of hosts the god of israel behold 1 will bring my words up on this city for evil and not for good the day was near when the predicted destruction of jerusalem and the captivity of judah would be carried out god could not tol erate forever the corruption and wickedness into which his people had fallen verse 17 i will deliver thee in that day saith the lord he who had long ago declared them that honour me i will honour had taken note of ebed melechs kindness to his servant and he would reward him accordingly by preserving his life and saving him from going into the babylonian captivity verse is thy life shall be for a prey unto thee because thou hast put thy trust in me saith the lord here we have the secret reason for ebedmelechs consider ation for jeremiah he trusted in jehovah and was therefore among those justified by faith and his good works were the outcome of the faith that was in his heart the heart of the lesson jeremiah suffered not for his sins but because of his faithful ness to god in his hour of need a friend was raised up of whom we might never have heard ex cept for this incident ebedmelech a colored servant in the kings house knew the god of israel and moved by his love he under took to deliver jeremiah from the pit into which he was cast his love was a faith that worked by love his help in so serious a time was never to be forgotten by god who undertook to protect him from his foes and care for him even as he had protected and cared for jeremiah we may all learn from this the importance of caring for gods children in their times of stress and need district nearly s000 people read the tribune each week thats what makes advertising in
