such a situation ity such a position was truly seemed fantastic but the man enviable from the worldly view of god saw the weakness in the i of things structure of a nation honey- 1 to this centre of the corrup- combed with iniquity the end ted national religion came amos the lesson as a whole approach to the leon there are several feature about the ministry of amos that ought to be noted first there i the man him self as he tells us in our lesson portion 714 he wa not a prophet by choice of profession not did he have training for the sacred office in the school of the prophets he had followed j the simple occupations of the ehepherd and the dresser of sycomore trees and was sudden ly called of god to the prophetic ministry necessity was laid upon him as upon paul though their messages differed a second item of interest is that a judean was chosen to deliver the word of the lord in the northern kingdom in the beginning of israels apostasy a man of god from judah had gone north to denounce the idolatrous altar at bethel 1 kings 13110 but since then israels prophets had been from the northern tribes now amos was summoned from tekoa south of bethlehem the home of the wise woman who acted as mediator for absalom 2 sam 142 the time of amoss prophecy was remarkable in view of its content both israel under jeroboam ii and judah under uzziah had forged ahead and thatll

right across canada imperial oilumited hoppi of israel as a kingdom wa in sight and the warning signals were out for judah old testament chronology is fraught with many difficulties but we are safe in placing the ministry of amos in the eighth century bc probably about the middle of it verse by verse amos 710 then amaiiah sent to jeroboam saying amos hath conspired a- gainst thee bethel was the religious capital of the northern kingdom so amaiiah was a prominent man in the realm he was not however of the tribe of levi see i kings 1231 notice how he turned the prophecy of amos into a political offense verse 11- for thus amos salth jeroboam shall die by the sword and israel led away captive the first part of amaziahs statement was false the second true only he did not add the reasons given by the prophet for the coming captivity verse 12 o thou seer go into judah and there eat bread and prophesy there see how amaziah regards amos as a professional seeking his livelihood by prophesying and one who is certain to seek safer quarters when danger looms his concern for the prophets safety is of course hypocritical verse 13 but prophesy not again any more at bethel the offense was all the great er that it was committed at the centre of false worship suppor ted and frequented by the king apparently jeroboam held court in bethel when he came to worship there verse 14- i was no prophet neither was i a prophets son an hcrdman and a gather er of sycomore fruit notice the humility and sincerity of amoss answer a prophets son doubtless signifies the same as the phrase sons of the prophets 2 kings 61 and the like amos had no training in the prophetic schools of his day the sycomore bore several crops of fruit each year so dressing it was more than a seasonal oc cupation verse 15 and the lord said unto me go prophesy unto my people israel the ordination of amos was direct from the lord himself and the commission was especially to israel still my people though wandered far verse is now therefore hear thou the word of the lord interference with the work of a prophet of god is serious business here it brought upon amaziah a terrible judg ment verse 17 thy wife shall be an harlot thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword thy land shall be divided thou shalt die in polluted land the harlot ry of amazlahs wife was pro bably forced in connection with the coming invasion the priests personal estate was to he divided among strangers an unclean land was a foreign land chap 84 ye that swallow up the needy oppression of the poor was one big mark of the corruption of the national life of israel verse 5 when will the moon be gone that we may sell making the ephah small and the shekel great re ligious festivals were regarded as an unwelcome interference with commerce while the tools of commorce the ephah for measuring out grain and the shekel the basic medium of ex change were falsified in favor of the merchant and to the dis advantage of the consumer see proverbs 2010 verse 6 buy the poor for silver and sell the refuse of the wheat v the op pression wont so far as to force the poor to become slaves to secure the bare necessities the waste of the wheat was mar keted for those who could not pay the price for good grain verse 7 surely i will never forget any of their works the excollency of jacob is the lord himself who swears by himself gen 2216 hcb 6 13 verse 8 shall not the land tremble for this god was marking iniquity who then should stand psa 130 3 the die was now cast for israel the heart of the lesson in our two lesson portions we have a glimpse first of the religious life of israel in the days of amos and then of the commercial life in both spheres we see how far the nation had gone from the will of god bethel was one of the two centres at which jeroboam i had erected a golden calf the other was dan to represent jehovah the god of israel contrary to the second commandment the town had quickly become the religious capital of the northern kingdom the new national re ligion required a priesthood which was supplied not from the tribe of levi who attended the house of god in jerusalem but from the common people from the southland with his pronouncements of impending doom to the worldly minded amaiiah it was an unwelcome intrusion and as in most cases of religious intolerance and per secution he set it in a political light accusing the prophet of fomenting a conspiracy against the king with mock concern for the prophets safely he urged him to return to judah where he might engage his prophetic office in greater se curity since he himself was a mere hireling he could not think of others having loftier motives in the ministry but he was to discover that amos was made of different stuff and also he was to learn that inter ference with the word of god was foolhardy and costly in volving himself his wife his daughters his estate while the oracle against the nation stood irrevocable 717 while the religious life of the nation was corrupt and directed by hirelings the conduct of commerce was marked by the most unethical and unscrupu lous dealings the rich mer chant gave short measure and secured large payment by fix ing his weights aiid measures the poor among the people were forced into slavery as last resort to secure the bare necessities of life and no one cared such oppression was con trary to the law lev 2539- 43 and marked the sin of is rael ae beyond cure despite apparent prosperity and secur ity the day was fast approaching when the whole national struc ture would crumble gods in strument the assyrian was already being prepared cedar grove may 27 1954 over the weekend cedar grove had a glimpse of life in this village in 1100 ad thanks to murray milroy 35 diligent diggers conducted an organized hunt for evidence of indian liaibltation on the high point of murrays farm it is quite an enterprise before a site is marked for an archaeological dig the groundhog holes in a likely area are investigated and the searchers usually come up with some valuable antiques all nicely unearthed by the burrowers this time sim rae- sor found a perfect pipe so the site is established the next step is to peg out the area in 4 squares and each digger is allotted a square experienced diggers equipped with only a small trowel a grapefruit knife and a brush can scrape away the earth as flat as a tftble each square is carefully scrap ed in 6 levels and every thing found is kept and recorded in paper bags a separate bag for each level the site pegged in a checkerboard pattern with small white pegs and dotted with bent figures in bright shirts and kerchiefs presents a colourful picture nothing is ever pried loose from its earth bed but gently worked up with brush and scraper so no fur ther damage is caused the time in cedar grove is irroquoian and this has no tri bal connection but is simply a cultural designation the week end dig netted some very in formative pieces pipes bowls pottery tools arrowheads and pieces of an interesting large bowl which was evidently used for storage underground ac cess to the supplies was through a large beautifully decorated neck which was left protruding above the ground professor bmerson who you may remember sixke to us some time ago on the subject of indian sites was very in terested in the findings in ce dar grove and expects to be a frequent digger around here thus summer last weeks square dance was another lively affair that had the schoolhouse trembling with music laughter and boun cing feet the crowd wap just right for the amount of space and everyone will agree that the more the sooner the bet ter there were many visitor in the village over the week end including miss jessie
