And he told them to prove which was the true God, Ba-al or E-li-jah's God. And he told them to bring two young bulls, and to take the flesh of one and lay it on the wood in front of Ba-al, and he would lay the flesh of the oth-er young bull on the Lord's al-tar. And he said, Call ye on your gods and I will call on mine, and let the God that sends down fire be the God whom we all shall serve.
And they said it was a good plan.
So they cried out from sun-rise till noon, O Ba-al hear us! But there was no voice or sign that their god heard them.
E-li-jah said, Cry with a loud voice for he is a god. He may be a-sleep, or lost in thought.
THE LIT-TLE CLOUD.
And they cried, and made a great noise, and at last fought with their knives till they drew blood.
And E-li-jah said, Come near me.
And they all came near to him.
