all other primitive people, practiced
the sacrifice of human beings. There
are several more instances in the Bi-
ble in which the slaughter and burn- ,
ing Of human brings as a sacrifice to

the slaughter of Isaac is purposed in
this story.
The people who practised human
sacrifice, whether our ancestors or
other rude early peoples, were not

Their energy flowed in that direction.
It Was a recognized way of worship,
and it required the piercing genius
of the prophets of Israel to see the
fol and the wrong of it. They de-

of uman sacrifice into another form
of the same energy. And the story
of the sacrifice of Isaac shows just,
how the prophets worked. Note that

note further that when Abraham, in-1

Transformation.
Before Isaiah, the prophet, came,
the people of Israel along with all oth-
er nations worshiped its national god
with all the might and devotion with
which it WAS capable. Isaiah saw that
the worship of national gods by the
various nations could only lead to mu-
tual hatred and strife, so he deter-
mined to transform all the devotion
and all the passion that went into the
worship of a national grid into the
love of a universal God, the God of
all nations.

The triumph of your system of living is bespoken by
the fact that in the war of modern dogmas none has
gotten beyond belief in one God, nor has modern ethics

It is my fervent hope that in the years to come our com-

ever been theirs in the past.
