An Ancient Object-Lesson

An Ancient Object-Lesson.—It is said of the ancient Samaritans: "They feared Jehovah, and served their own gods." 2 Kings 17:33. They did not dare repudiate Jehovah, for they feared the lions and coming judgments; but their hearts were not converted, so they worshiped and served their own gods. How many do the same now! They dare not repudiate the God of the Bible; vague fears of possible coming ill, and early education perhaps, hold them, but they serve their own gods of lust, greed, fashion, appetite, passion, false theology. But these will stand neither the time of trial nor the test of God's judgment.
