ELIJAH S REQUEST
TO DIE THEME
OF REV. G. J. ZINN
Text, “But Elijah went a day’s jour
ney into the wilderness and came ami
sat down under a juniper tree and re
quested that he might die."
Elijah had come to a stage in life
when he was very much discouraged,
so much so that he wanted to die, he
saw no brightness to the future, he
had tried his best to do his duty for
the Lord, but his efforts were not ap
preciated by the people, and, being
hungry, tired and fatigued from lack
of sleep, his mind weary, he lay down
under the juniper tree and requested
that he might die. Probably in a
dream the Lord had spoken to him
and told him that there was more
work for him to do. Elijah awoke,
his mind was changed, he had nour
ishment and being refreshed the world
looked differed ami he went on and
accomplished the things awaiting him
the remainder cf his life.
So it is with each of us. We at one
time or another come to a juniper tree,
a stage in life when we feel discour
aged, when everything looks dark;
when we feel that there is no one who
cares for us; when life is not worth
living; we give up hope, we are ready
to die. But after a refreshing rest
and nourishment and after a changed
condition in the mind things will in
evitably look brighter, the Lord is not
ready to spare us. He has something
more for us to do. and if we will ac
cept his guidance He will carry us
to our appointed, tasks. The shadow
of the juniper tree is not an obstacle,
it is a resting place where we will re
ceive renewed life, a fervent vitality
and a new fund of energy.
REV. PATTON USES
PARABLE OF POUNDS
AS EVENING THEME
Rev. Patton chose his theme Sun
day evening from Matthew 25:14-"0.
His message in part follows:
“By this parable of the pounds
Jesus wished to establish three truths
in the minds of his disciples. First,
that he was going away. Second, that
he was sure to return. Third, that
every man would receive his just re
ward. In Acts 1 :$-l 1 we find that
Jesus did actually depart from this
world. In this same passage it is also
repeated by the angels that This
Jesus, who was received up from you
into heaven, shall so come in like man
ner as ye behold him going into
heaven. Again we find, in Luke 19:
16-27 that Jesus brings out these same
truths in the parable of the pounds.
Here he makes very clear to those
who will read, that our Savior will
reward according to the manner that
his followers labor for his cause dur
ing his visible departure from earth.
In Luke 19:18-19 we read “Thy pound.
Lord, hath made five pounds. And he
said unto him also, be thou also over
five cities.” Thus we are each, ac
cording to our manner of life estab
lishing for ourselves the place we
shall occupy under the reign of Christ.
In Luke 19:20 Christ pictures to us
how that the Slovenish and indolent
will come much shame-faced and
have to admit that they are totally
undeserving of any position or trust
that otherwise might have been theirs
to enjoy under his reign."
