Memory Selection: Proverbs 29; 23. Today’s lesson records the division of the Hdbrew kingdom through the stupidity of Rehoboftm and the am bition of Jeroboam. For several centuries -the kingdom of the north ern tribes and the kingdom of Judah waged wars against each other, while neither was able to make a strong stand against other nations. At length the people of Samarta were deported and absorbed by the! Assyrians and they disappeared from history as the Lost Tribes of Israel. Judah, with kings of the house of' David, survived longer—until its 1 people were carried away by Neb-j uchadnezzar. They were allowed byj the Persians to return to their na tive land. And for a time they had some measure of independence un der the Maccabees. Rehoboam was a pampered prod uct of Solomon’s court. He lost the young men as foolish as himself and refusing the j advice i f old counsel lors, to reject, the petition of his peo ple for higher taxes. Jeroboam was a “.self-made” man’’ who took advantage of the northern tribes’ revolt to gain a kingdom for himself. He and Rehoboam were both indifferent to real religion—• there is no evidence that either of them ever sought guidance of God. In the whole of the circumstances attending the division of the do main of David and Solomon are les- v 7' sons of value for nations of the present. We cannot look for union greater part of his kingdom through and peace among them if their rul- his folly in following the advice oflers will not seek unto God for help. Mr. and Mrs. G. E.
