Acting Director of Sunday School Conf?a, The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR AUGUST 8 THE KINGDOM TORN ASUNDER. Lttt?SON TEXT-I Kings 12:6-1?. GOLDEN TEXT-Prlde goeth xbefore destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Prov. 16:18. Solomon's kingdom though outward ly magnificent contained within lt those germs of oppression, formal re ligious observances and the lax ex ample of an Indulgent monarch which speedily led to its disruption after his death. Forty years Solomon reigned, but the latter end of his life was none too peaceful. "He loved many strange women" and "his heart was not per fect with the Lord his God" (11:1, 4). Rezon was bis "adversary" (11:20) and Jeroboam whom he at first sought to conciliate (11:26-28) was finally driven from the land (v. 40). Chapter eleven contains the prophecy of which this lesson is the fulfillment. "And Rehoboarn. his son, reigned in 'bis stead" (11:43). ' I. The Convention at 8riechem, vv. 1-5. This place has an Important his tory beginning in the days of Abraham and Jacob. It was a elty of the L?vites and the place where Joshua gave his final charge (josh, 24:1, 25). Ablme lech destroyed lt though it waa soon rebuilt. Here Israel gathered to con firm Solomon's son upon the throne. Jerusalem and Judea readily accepted Rehoboarn as king, but the ten tribes hesitated and, according to one trans lation there was a year's delay during which time Jeroboam was sent for and certain reforms were formulated (v 2). Their charges were entirely selfish and made no reference to the rights ot Jehovah nor offered any protest against the Increasing Idolatry. Be fore allegiance was sworn Jeroboam .\a spokesman presented these reforms (v. 4) and Rehoboarn wisely asked for time to consider the request (v. 6). II. Good Counsel Neglected, vv. 6-12. Rehoboarn came of bad stock (ch. 14:21), yet his first step was a wise one. His name means "Enlarger ot the people," but he sadly belied the same. Too long had he lived In the atmosphere of luxury and enervation. The northern tribes suffered greatly through taxation and shared none of the prosperity of Jerusalem. Solomon's "yoke," like that of every earthly mon arch, had been heavy (Matt, 11:29, 80). The counsel of the old men was good (v. 7). it was kingly, manly. Jesus tells us that the greatest must be the servant of all and seta us the example himself (Matt. 20:28). f.eho boam next consulted those of his own circle who "were grown up with hun," men ot like position and passions, youths as inexperienced as himself who had po sympathy but were wild, conceited, overbearing, selfish. Reho boarn asked "advice" (v. 6) of the old men, but asked for "counsel" (v. 9) ot the young men, but In neither case is there any suggestion that God was consulted (James 1:6). These young men counseled a boasting and burden some course which brought Rehoboarn to grief. Oppression always results in rebellion, a fact that those who gov ern or employ others should ponder welt Rehoboam's choice of counselors and hfs ' consequent course ot action was the height of foolishness (Prov. 18:80). III. Bsd Counsel Confirmed, vv. 12-14. Jeroboam's subsequent career cont ms us In Kel laving that bs more than all others ??ncouragpd and to* i?.rM the rti.vtaton of th* kingdom. Rut he and the proud, foolish pHncidlng w?-r* both only tarrying cut the word and will of Jehovah (v. 15; Ps. 76:10). This does not. however, lessen his guilt or folly (Acts 2:28). Not content with declaring his 'acceptance of the evil counsel he spoke "roughly" (v. IS) and this verse suggests to us that "the old men's counsel" was known to the people, thereby aggravating his offense. "Whom God wishes to destroy he first makes mad." Rough words wound or madden and, "by using soft words you may lead an elephant hy a hair." Not content to refuse Reho joam threatens added burdens (v. 14). ;ijy* i?onclusIon. God turned away the kingdom from Solomon's house be cause Solomon bad turned away from God (ch. li:9-11. 31. 83). A true prophet foretold what would happen, the "cause waa from the Lord that he might perform his saying" (v. 16, cf. 11:31. 38). God la constantly and lit erally fulfilling prophecy. Those which have been so fully and so minutely ful filled are a warrant that In due time all will likewise "come to pass." Re? hoboam Is a lesson to the young men of today. Rehoboarn ls also a lesson for pres ent day fathers. - Finally Rehoboarn is a lesson to all who sra set in authority. To close our ears to tbs cry of the needy; to.forget our obligations to God and to men (Matt. 86), and to fall to see God's pur poses, prophecies and plans, Inevitably coarta disaster. The coming king of kings who In fal' Ailment of, prophecy did come, and will come again, has a yoke for his subjects "which is easy." His finger (v. io) and hands were used in loving ministries an J the only chastisement (v. ll) ka ever permits ls that which proves us to te& "sosa,'* not slaves (gao.

Tho credit of the railroads, their ability to earn a return of thc omney invested in them, depends uupon the success ot agriculture and yet, while railroad securities have, under nor mal conditions, fond a ready market on a four per cent basis, aud the same is true of municipal and. to a great extent, of Industrial securities, the farmer, who haa furnished f e real basis for the credit, and tho pros perity of all, bas been compel ted to va y double tho rate ot interest for monev with, which to purchase and improcve his. farm. The reason for this, or at least one great reason, is the fact that the. railroads, the muni cipalities, and the great industrial con cerna have at their command the ma chinery or organization which en ables them to offer the public a se curity moro readily negotiable or liquid than the farm mortgage. There is no good reason why the farmers of the country should not se cure the money th?yTequlre to bring their farms uup to the highest pos sible state of fertility at ns low a rate of interest as that enjoyed by any of the great business, enterprises of the nation- On the other hand, there is every reason why, in the Interest of all, this should be accomplished. ,vFar mCredits." by W.
