Ahab disobeyed tod and failed to tollow up his victory over iten-Iiadad (ch. 20:31.34). Thertupon one of Iho prophets resorted to a plan whereby Ahab uais rebuked and also receivetd a uessage that sent him "to his h0o1no heavy and displeased" (v. 43). All of this needs to be bortne in mind when we studiy Ahb's course of netton re latei in this Iestson. 1.enrn by he'art the tenth commnuidmenit ; also Iuko 12. 1. I. The Schemes of Men, vv. 11-16. Ahab had been king for twenty years (Il. C. 90t'). .1e;.trcel wats his summer capital. about twventy miles northwest of Samaria. The chief aetors in this tragedy were N abot h, a well-to-do citi Fen; Ahab, a pet tulant monarch to whom Naiboth refuses to sell his vine yard; .lezetiol. the I.dy Macbeth of Ahab's court; elders and nobles of .l te''el, willing tools in the transa' tion; false witnesses. executioner, and Eliah.h, the servant of God. who con fronted the monarch in his newly gained possession. Ahab was con stantly in contlict with the purposes of Glod and with his Word. Naboth had no right to sell his vineyard (seo Numbers 36-7; 1.ev. 2i:23; also FEzek. 46 16) and sturdily stood out for his God-given rights. These land laws were rigid, but at the same time wise and beneficial. Instead of yielding to God's law Ahab sulks like a petted child tv. 41 and thus again runs coun ter to God's Word (see tenth com mandment). At this juncture Jezebel, his wife, appeals to his pride and power as the king (v. 71, and offers to procure the coveted possession. The nmethods of mankind whereby vast pos sessions are accumulated do not al ways bear investigation; murder and rapine. broken hearts and shortened lives, weakened bodies and stunted children can largely be traced to the sin or covetousness, against which we all need to be on guard tLuke 12:15; Eh-: The first sinner was covet ous 'Gen. 3:6:. so also were the chosen people of God ( Josh. 7:21), and it u as t}is tha: caused the first dis se s: n among Christian believers 1 t_ .M'. :ezebe. most graciously gave Ahab that which belonged to c:-s: ;hcw free we all can be with the ;rcperty of others: She also csoaked her designs with the mantle c religion t -13). 11. The Sentence of God, vv. 17.20. The dead Naboth was happier than his neigLbors of Jezreel, the king and queen or any of the other evil par ticipa:tE. Ahab began by breaking the frst commandment Il Kings 16:31; Lbeut. 5:7i and thus laid the ground wor k of the whole train of evil for which he and his household and his reign are fam~ous. The e~dors readily obeyed the word of Jezebel and Ahab prof>ad thereby, but now he was to hear the Waord of Gc-.d and it was not to be so weC~romfe Reaently we saw Ei2jab set arid'-. folloin rg his flight frm ,Msb'-], but sie is not entirely brnduse tr:-d God now gave Limn a niew ':.': rimrmen, one snore task in C'.'::t:coi.' v Mtb bis old opponent.

It was a poor exchange Ahab made (Mark 03'; a throne and his life In exchange for the carrying out of his ou ni will and the possession of a vine yard. In that exact spot where Na both had been foul?y stoned the dogs would lick up the blood of the king, A s is usually the case, the guilty sin ncr called the righteous servant of God his "enemy," yet had Ahab obeyed the Word of Jehovah as so feeuently spoken by Elijah he would have discovered him to be his true and best friend, not his enemy. Ahab's sin had found him out (Golden TIext, INum. 32:23). til. The Summaa y. Covetousness is not the mere desire for things we do niot p)ossess, b~ut a deep longing which Is willing to do wrong, to injure oth ers, to profit by the evil deeds of oth ers in order to come into possession. Covetousness Beeks to gain at the ox pense of higher and better things; it is the extreme opposite of the spirit of him who "gave all." Trhe greatest dianger of our land and the chief source of sin is covetousness. The source and ' fountain of covet. ousness is selfishness. IHence the one and only cure Is in a changed heart, one consecratedl to God and devoted to thle service of others. Love tlod, obe'y his Word, strive with all our ransomed powers to buld up andI advance his kingdomn and covetousness will vanish as- mnist be for the lumnmer sun. Covetousness is insatiablo, it ti never satisfied.

It was the first time Madeleine had spread her Wings and hit the rarefied Strata. For a Beginner she was there with the Spread. She made the American Eagle look like an Eng lish Sparrow. As soon as she arrived back in Sleepy Hollow she began to turn the Old Family Residence uptide down and get it stocked up, Just like a Club, for the Uot Babies from the Metrop olis. The Real Things arrived on a Spe cial Car with their Hats down over their Ears and were more or less ob scured by Dogs and Einglish Help and Cigarette Smoke. As they rode up Main Street there was a Pale Face at I every Window. Just as the Parade passed the High School, the tall Smoke-Stack over at the Hominy Mills fell with a Loud Crash. That Afternooon there was a smell l of Moth Balls in many a Refined Hlonme, for all who had learned to take Soup from the side of the Spoon were under Royal Command to come up and get a private Peck at the import I ed Gentry. t It was to be a Dinner followed by a Small Dance.

Instead of the customary 3 Carna tions and 1 Maiden-Hair Fern gracing the center of the Board, the terrified i Guests saw a Wagon-Load of tropical Bloom which pleased them very Much as soon as each had secreted a new kind of Cocktail, served in a Goblet, with a Stick of Dynamite substituted for the Olive. The Orchestra did a lot of those "Oh! Oh" Rags while strange Foods kept descending to the Table and a Special Corps of Walters tried to give an Imitation of the Johnstown Flood. Conversation became epidemic and many Local Characters who had re mained in Obscurity for Years came out of their Pods and began to hop about and sing in the Sunlight. Members of the Married Women's Safety League were hanging out Signs of Distress and trying to give Warn ing Signals but Madeleine would not permit them to crab her Little Party, She wanted to show the Boobs just how these Recherche Functions are stage-managed in Upper Circles. Accordingly they all felt their Way to the Front Room, where they Found awaiting them a Bowl of Artillery Punch about the size of Lake Erie, and no more Harm in a full Bumper than there is in a Rattle-Snake. Madeleine headed off a Two-Step and told Friends and Neighbors to sit back close to the Wall with a Piece of Ice in each Hand and get WVise to the latest 1914 Stuff. Then She and her Friends pinned up their Garments and put Resin on ttheir Hands and cut loose. They did S the Argentine Tango and the Maxixe and the Twinkle and the Ta-Tao and the One Step and the Castle Walk and the Hesitation and the Rye Waltz, etc., etc. SThe Fire Department began carry. lng out Bodies at 12:30 a. mi.
