Dead Land's Living Voice
Carries Current Call 3<j
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
In the dead desert that was once Assyria. Babylonia and Persia the
traveler finds countless ruins. As I wandered over the desolations that
were Ninevah and Babylon and Ur and Niffur I seemed to hear echoes
from the dead past, for these places were once peopled by living voices
which have echoed down the ages.
Poremost among them are the words of the Hebrew prophets, who

beloved homeland. Today we study
one of the vivid utterances of the
prophet Ezekiel, speaking from the
SI1UIC55 Ul U1C
Tigris River. His
message was
meant princi
pally for his
own people,
contaminated by
their pagan en
vironment and
confused in
their religious
thinking, but it
is also pecul

ers. statesmen, teachers, parents
and all who have a public responsi
bility—the watchmen upon the walls
of society. Ezekiel brings all such
up with a sharp turn. Theirs is a
life-and-deatn responsibility. The
blood of victims is upon their heads.
Even in our English translation the
burning eloquence of this message
from Jehovah to His ancient prophet
shines through:
“So thou, son of man, I have set
thee a watchman unto the house
of Israel: therefore hear the word of
My mouth and give them warning
from Me. When I say unto the
wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt
surely die, and thou dost not speak
to warn the wicked from his way;
that wicked man shall die in his
iniquity, but his blood will I require
at thy hand. Nevertheless, if thou
warn the wicked of his way. to turn
from it, and he turn not from his
way. he shall die in his iniquity, but
thou has delivered thy soul.
“And thou, son of man. say unto
the house of Israel: Thus ye speak,
saying. Our transgressions and our
sins are upon us. and we pine away
in them; how then can we live?
Say unto them, As I live, saith the

i Lord Jehovah. I have no pleasure
In the death of the wicked, but that
the wicked turn from his way and
live; turn ye. turn ye from yoflr
evil wavs, for why will ye die. O
house of Israel?"
“His Blood Will I Require." -.
Let us see how this awesome truth
applies to us.
There was once an eminent Phila
delphian, a bank president, w>ho was
honored as "a leading layman." He
was an officer in his own church
and conspicuous in denominational
and civic affairs. Sunday after Sun
day he sat under the preaching of
a fashionable clergyman. Yet all
the while he was a thief, a robber
of his friends and depositors. Dls
i covered, he committed suicide, and
! the crash of his big bank rocked
the city. What responsibility Wad
that preacher in the case? Had he
been a true watchman upon the
walls, so preaching God s word that
no sinner could abide It in com
placency and impenitence?
Recently I happened into a church
where the preacher was desperately
shaken, because one of his officers
had on the previous day committed
suicide. But the man had been liv
ing in open sin; and the church had
not disciplined him. That minister
was suffering tortures of contrition
for what he felt to be hi* failure
What of the editors who view the
day s moral slump, and the corrup
tion and crime all about them,
merely as spectators and news-pur
veyors? If society crashes, what will
be the responsibility of these profes
sional watchmen upon the walls?
We turn to the professors in In
stitutions of learning, with their pav
irresponsibility and disregard of es
sential morality. When, with amaz
ing disregard of the axiomatic tryjh
; that what a man Is speaks moue
loudly than what he says. New York
City College appointed as teagher
a man of shamelessly immoral con
duct and teaching, a large group of
professors supported the appoint
ment. Such irresponsibility con
cerning the ageless moral standards
brings many teachers within the
scop° of Ezekiels warning. Moral
indifference is the blight of our
time.
Stern Words for Slack Times.
Ours is a "tolerant" age. There
has been a growing slackness in the
moral sense of the public. We take
as a matter of course many things
' that would have deeply shocked our
grandparents—such as widespread
gambling and drinking and un
chastity. Graft permeates public life
in many places. Divorce has become
so common that it is scarcely a
scandal any more. Sabbath-break
ing is well-nigh universal. Business,
; as the depression revealed, is shot
through and through with unethical
and even criminal practices. The
United States Congress has not
gumption enough to stop the flow
of war munitions to Japan, without
which it could not conquer China.
Sordid business has a sanctity in
many eyes that brings into contempt
j the moral law.
Now here reappears the old He
brew prophet, sternly pointing the
finger of doom, not only at the
WTong-doers. but also at the watch
men who permit the wrong-doing,
j "His blood will I require at thy
j hands. ’ This truth of account
ability to God is soul-shaking.
“Turn Ye! Turn Ye!"
Sometimes I dream of the day
when, over the radio and through
I the press, a divinely - anointed
prophet voice will call all of our
reckless, wandering world back tp
man's first obligation, a sense of
l responsibility to God. I cannot te
: convinced that God has not ma<5e
■ ready this new, universal trump*,
the radio, for some high design 4f
, His providence. He is getting *s
ready to hear anew the Ezekifl
, message. "Turn ye! Turn ye! from
I your evil ways: for why will ye dief”
Even the dullest of us—save thofe
sadistic souls who look upon it gs
a mere spectacle, as interesting netjs
—are having our souls torn bv the
war in Europe: which never would
have come to pass had statesmen
and citizens possessed r high sense
of personal responsibility. Now the
burden and grief of it rest upon
us all.
We cannot shift or evade our duty
to God and man. By voice and vote,
by practice and by prayer, each of
us must demonstrate that he stands
as personally responsible to the Most
High.

Responsibility.”—Ezekiel 33:1-20.
