The prophet has just achieved the stu

Bsars prophets had been screaming and
bleeding themselves in vain for nine
hours. This miracle converted Ahab
and the representative body of Israel,
who acted as Judge and jury at this won
derful trial. They became Baal's enc

became Gods friends. But there they
were mistaken; their conversion did not
go so far as that. They were only con-
verted against Baal-not converted to
Jehovah.
Elijah made the same mistake about
them: He thought they were all good,

king used his authority to put the Baal
prophets to death. and, the attending
IsraeItes executed the royal sentence.

Grooming Horses.
