Director ot, the Burulu y 6> hool Courso of the Moody* Bible Institute.) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 19 DEFEAT THROUGH DRUNKEN NESS. LESSON TEXT-I Klrurs ?:10-IL GOLDEN TEXT-Wine end' new wine take ?wey the undera tandi ny. Hon. 4U1 B. V. We feel somewhat like questioning the title of this lesson. It can bs used aa s temperance lesson no doubt, but to attribute Ben-hadad's defeat entire ly to drunkenness ls not quite true to tho facts. Jehovah's jealousy of hts name (v. 13) and tho enemies' con tempt for Jehovah (w. 33, 28) are the fundamental causes of Gie defeat of the Syrians though, of course, drunk- ] enness, as an exhibition of self-indulg ence and therefore of weakness, was i a natural accompaniment of that con tempt for God. j I. Ahab's Predicament, w. 10-12. The Syrian king's contemptuous treat ment of Ahab (vy. 1-7) at huit became I so great that in sheer desperation tho people refused tollsten to his demands (v. 8). H la forces far overwhelmed the little army of Israel (rv. 1, -10, J 37), but one was oh Ahab's side who had not yet withdrawn his mercy from Israel and with whom Ben-hadad could not cope (v. 18; Rom. 8:31; Phil. 4:13), Ben-hadad wno the most pow? j erful monarch of hla time of those nv fions bordering upon the M?diter- j ranean. The march of bis army waa1 Uko "a tempest of hall, an .overwhelm lng scourge" with unrestrained power. The effect was worse than the plagues of Egypt ' But Ben-hadad was a drunk ard, a habitual ona (rv. 12-16). Samaria was rich and this king want ed it even as intemperance always1 lusts after the wealth of youth and j the gold of a nation (vv. S, 12). Drink always makes a fool ot its victim and dooms to ultimate defeat all who yield to its power (ch. 16:9; II Sam. 18:28; Prov. 31:4;- 6; Luke 21:34; Epa. 8:18). II. God's Prophet, w. 13-15. It was Indeed dark for Ahab. He saw (v. 13) the host confronting bim but he also heard the word ot Jehovah. As con trasted with Jehovah thst multitude was. but ss a handful ot dust. God ls on the .side of temp?rance. All of God's laws favor temperance. Our ever-living glorified leader and the energizing power ot the holy spirit ara the ones who are the source of our victories *over all principalities and powers of evil. Ahab's predicament ts answered by God's "I will deliver" (v. IS) and'so today we have Ma sore promise of victory (Epa. 6:10-12). ' God has today set forth his prophets (I Cor. 12:28) tb proclaim his mes sage of salvation and power to over-' come Intemperance. This is not a "necessary evil." Experts and scien tists have clearly demonstrated its be ing ?nnecc?ss?ry and a drag upon so ciety, and God has taught us how to overcome it. Ahab's unfortunate char acter appears st its best in this story, but alas ho and his successors soon 'iorgo' the lesson. ! III. Victorious Princes, w. 16-21. To Ahab's question "by Whom** ls this de liverance to be wrought, God answers, j "by the young men ot the princes of the provinces" (v. 14). These choice young fellows are mustered in, 883 of them, as leaders of an army of 7,000, all who could bb found in the capital. Qed delights tb work through young mea, I Johh 2:13, 14) sad tba pages of history are strewn with the victori ous achievements of youth. Two-thirds of Lincoln's army wera under twenty-one years of age at their cnilt?tm?nt; the Union was preserved by an army of boys. Ahab himself is tbs leader (j. 14) and they began at once by (carrying the battle into the enemiea' territory. Ben-hadad and hla drinking compan ions never dreamed of being attacked at that hour. Like Gideon and bis army .these young men smote the Syrian host in overwhelming defeat. Israel's enemies bid incapacitated themselves. A drunken mob ls no matck for etan a handful ot organised and sober men. These tkirty-tiiree kines courted their owd defeat (Prov. 23:29-33; Eccl. 11:10; Hos.' 4:11). Ben hadad's kings "who helped him" (v. 16) proved to be a roed for ali the strengt ard support they rendered him lb the moment bf Iiis neted. It was the young men who weat first, e. g., struck tht- first hiow. Ben hadad's self-conflict and boasting (v. 18) ts but another Illustration^ that ' "pride which goeth before de struction" (Prov. 16:18; Luke 18:14). The army Ci Israel was smalt (t. 15) but lt did not hesitate to stuck tho superior ?orce and that sort of faith will always incite others watch will "follow them" (v. 19). , Every man "slew his mah." each did his part-"played the game and played lt itiir"--?nd th? result waa a host in full Bight and the handful or Israelites in pursuit (v. 36), God saved Israel that day hy tm? nea of young men. Teachers, do you r?al is? your opportunity? It ls oura to arouse in youth a realisation of Rs capacities, advantages, opportunities ead responsibilities; to inspiro them with a determination to be ot servies; ? to Instruct them in God's plan of cam paign sad to link them with the tonne Van of 'Nassretfc, "tba Captain ot Sal vation."
