of their obligations toward them jas 127 isa 123 verse 23 if thou afflict them i will surely hear their cry it is not here a question of the spirit ual intelligence of afflicted strang ers widows and orphans but if in their distress they cry out to god as creator he will hear them and will deal in righteous judgment with their persecutors deut 2414 thou shalt not onnress an hired servant or thy strangers that are in thy land it is contrary to gods holy law and therefore a grievous sin in his sight to take an unfair advantage of the needy particularly strangers who are in our land to exploit them by forced or illpaid labor is to expose oneself to the judgment of god the more helpless these needv ones are the more consider ate should we be toward them verse 15 at his day thou shalt give him his hire this entire verse sternly forbids employers needless ly deferring payment of wages to those who work for them it is easy for men of wealth to forget how important ones daily or weekly

his brethren jewish believers who in those ter rible times will go forth to carry the gospel of the kingdom through out the world hut while there is but one true interpretation of a passage there mav
