WPROPHETIC LESSON: Isaiah 53:37.... Blanche P. Tosh He was despised and rejected by men; a man sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide ir faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced our transgressions; he was crushed our iniquities; upon him was chastisement th brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one his own way; and Lord has laid on him iniquity us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb th is led slaughter, and like a sheep th bee its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth.
