Baal "would have evaded the test -had
it not been for this sentiment on th
part of th people and their open assent .
to Elijah's plan. It is generally the poli-
tician who is in the wrong who runs
way from open debate. ;
Th Tsst of Fir. -
X There was a' gameness about Elijah
that touched the a porting proclivities o(.
th people He gave all possible odds to
the four hundred and fifty priests of
Baal; they had th choice of bullockaahd
the first chance at the ordeal. From
morning Until noon and from noon until
venlng they prayed and cried ajoud
and leaped about the a altar In
frensy. gashing themselves with knives
until the blood streamed. What a spec-
tacle was that which the cloudless and
pitiless sky. and the straining eyes of
the nation looked upon) How eagerly
they watched for a spark a puff of
smoke.
' We may Imagine Elijah standing scorn-
fully by until midday his manner speak-
ing his disdain for. ths sumptuously-clad
and . full-fed false prophets. Then he
gavs tongue to his contempt and. in
mocking words that burned he taunted
his opponents. He bade them cry loud-
er; perhaps their god wss musing or on
a Journey or preadventure sleeping and
must be awakened. The Impotence 'of
the cries and convulsions of the priests
-of Baal but heightened Elijah's mockings.
Then came hie turn and now the- ex-
citement among the people grew more
Intense. They climbed higher on the
hillside crowded one another more close-
ly on the plateau and sought forrantaga
points on boulders aad trees. The spec-
tator were-breathless with Interest aa.
they thronged toward the spot where
Elijah ' stood- Their Imaginations were
stirred and pricked as he recalled their
naat hletorv.Xby choosing tweltr stones
for an altar one for each of the tribes.

Ths imagination is not equal to that

ment of it all spread out kt my feet ss
a picture. Probably it was about yon-
der in tha middle of the plateau where
the cistern now Is that the altars were
built. Down below Is- ths bed of the
Kishon; doubtless it wss at that nearest
point where -an apparently artificial
mound now rises that tha priests of Baal
were taken and slain. .Ana see strange
coincidence! even as I looked there ap-
peared on the h orison of the ' Mediter-
ranean a cloud "as small as a- man's
hand.". Yonder runs the route of Ahah'a

waa thla fit and fearless man aa truly
an ally as the fir that bad smitten from

evidences of Himself that God will give
