I. Who Were the Rechabitee?
(1 Chron. 2:55).
Tbej were Kenltee of Heroath of
the family of Jethro, Mosea’ father-
in-law (Nura. 10:2»-32 f cf. Judges
1:16). They entered Cannon with
the Israelites. It seems that In order
to preserve their Identity they chose
a nomadic life. Saul was consider
ate of them (I Sam. 15:6). They were
characterized by:
I. Abctloence from strong drink
(35:8). 2. Voluntary poverty (35 :U).
8. A nomadic life (35:10).
II. The Rechabitee Teetad (vv. 1-5).
In the days of Jeholachlm the Lord
charged Jeremiah to bring the Hecho-
bites Into the house of the Lord and
teat them regarding the drinking of
wine. This he did In a place where
the people might behold them, the
aim being to teach Judah by example.
The father of the Mechatdtes hud
given the command that they should
not drink wine. Their filial oliedl-
ence put to shame the children of
Judah for their Irek of obedience to
their Uenveuly Father. Jonadnb. the
father of the Itechabltes, wus only a
man, but the commands which Judnh
disregarded were from the Almighty
God. their Creator and Savior. They
stood the test They were loyal to
the traditions of their fathers, even
turning away from the luxury and
degeneracy of Judah and maintaining
their simple life. It Is God's plan
that every man be tested. Being a
free agent, he can have character
only through testing. It was for this
reason that God placed Adam and
Eve In Eden and permitted the devil
to teat them While we should be
concerned about the removal of
temptation from men, we should be
more concerned with showing them
how to overcome It.
III. The Filial Loyalty of the Rech-
abites (vv. 6-11).
Though they were out of their own
country and among a foreign people,
they refused to drink wine, declaring
that they had been true to the In
structions of Jonadab all their lives.
Obedience to his Instruction hod been
practiced by the men, women and
children. It is a fine thing when chil
dren keep In mind their fathers and
render obedience to their commands.
IV. \ The Loyalty of tho Rachabitoa
Contrasted with tho Disloyalty of
Judah (vv. 12-16),
1. The appeal (vv. 13, 14). This
appeal was made on the basis of the
filial loyalty of the Hechabites. He
reminded them that though their fa
ther had been dead a long time, the
Hechabites remained loyal to his com
mand. The prophet appealed to them
not only on the ground of this ex
ample, but on the ground of God’s
earnest entreaty through the prophets
2. The ministry of the prophets
<vv. 15, 10). When the people failed
“to render obedience to God, He sent
them prophets who pleaded with them
to amend their ways by turning away
from idols. Matthew Henry Indicates
'the points of contrast as follows:
(1) The Rechabltes were obedient
to one who was but a man. The Jews
xllaobeyed the Infinite and eternal
(2) Jonadab was dead long
■Inca and could not know of their
dlsIojcJty or correct them concerning
It. God Is all-wise. Urea forever sod
trill punish the disobedient. <3) The
were never pat In mind
obligations, bot God sent His
who rote up early to remind
(4) Jonadab left the charge,
to bear the expense of

Welli While Ye Heve Li C ht
The people answered Him, We hove
heard out of the law that Christ abid-
etb for ever; and how gayest thou, the
Son of Man must be lifted up? Who
Is this Son of Man? Then Jesus said
unto them, Yet a little while is the
light with you. Walk while ye have
the light, lest darkness come upon
you; for he that wulketh in darkness
knowetb not whither he goeth. While
Je have light, believe In the light, that
ye may be children of light.—John 12,
.34 to 36.
Many Important Crops
Ruined by Insect Pest
* Washington—Man’s battle to mas
tor Insect pes fs that annually destroy
one-fenth of the crops In the United
States is an uphill struggle which nmy
never lie wholly won. Dr. A’. L. Quaint-
once said. Damage will be much
heavier this year unless the Mediter
ranean tty which has Just appeared In
Florida is checked.
Telling of the effects of science to
reduce the damage by the Insect
•conrge. Doctor Qualntance said many
Important crops could not be growm
without the entomologists.
Without the checks now provided by
science. Insects would multiply so rap
idly the world would soon be com-
pletely overrun, he said. Insects have
several million descendants In the
course of a year.

exhausted In another 25 years

sort Is the Sierra ranges or the
ocean.
Either can be reached readily

hours frotb any part of Cill-
fornia.

Teacher Urges “50-50
Dates” for Young Folks
v Columbia, Mo.—Fifty-fifty dates for
young men and wmmen In college are
advocated by Miss Nellie Lee Holt, In
structor In religious education at
Stephens college here.
Such dates are not only an eco
nomic necessity of the younger gener
ation, Miss Holt believes, but are in
keeping with the spirit of modern
times.
Romantic Victorian love is dead, she
points out, and In Its place hns grown
a love based on “friendship, under
standing and willingness on the part
of the girl and boy to share respon
sibilities.
“Boys and girls should learn to
share.” said Miss Holt “That is the
reason I have become such a strong
exponent of the ‘Dutch’ date. Gen
erally speaking, girls receive as much
allowance ns boys. Then why shouldn't
they pay for what they eut, for the
show they attend nnd for the costly
entertainment they enjoy?”
Girls of today. Miss Holt charac
terizes ns “sound thinkers who do
things In a wholesome and under
standing way.”
