Naaman, Captain Of the host, of the
King of Syria,-the position next in i'm
portance to the King himself-had at
tanned unto his exalted position by his
valor. He was great man before the
world, that is, as far as outward appear
ance went But he was afflicted with a
disease which was perhaps worse than
death, in so far as human power to heal
might extend. He was leper, and while
he rode abroad in his glitter of rank, his
friends knew that beneath the worldly
show was a loathsome body. This eX
perience Of Naaman has been repeated
thousands of times since his day.
Very little things oftimes lead to re-
suits of great Importance, and in this case
an idle remark of a little ISraelitish SER
vant-girl, who had been captured and
brought away from her native land, was
the means of ultimately cleansing the
great but horribly afflicted Captain.
She spoke of course of the Prophet
Elisha Naaman set out in great state
for Samaria to be healed of his leprosy,
after having sent to the King of Israel
letter requesting that he-the King
should cure him. Naaman supposed evil
IDENTIFY that the King was the Prophet.
When Naaman finally went to Elisha,
expecting great pomp and ceremony, and
loud calling upon the name of the Lord,
aud was cody told by the Prophet to go
to the river Jordan and wash himself,
he became very iedignant, and assured
those abOut him that he had an aDun-
dance of water in his own country. How
ever, he concluded to try the Jordan wa
ters, and rs Il result was cleansed of his
leprosy. Then his gratitude broke forth
from full heart. and he went to the
Prophet and urged him to "take u bless
ing"-a reward, of presents, according to
the customs of the times. But the Pro-
phet stoutly refused. He had his reward
in the blessing which had been bestowed
upon fellow-creatuTe. The powers
which were at his command were given
him not for selfish uses, but to be used in
performing the noble work of proclaim
ing, effectively, the glory and majesty Of
his divine master. This visit of Naa-
mans presented a strange picture, yet
one suggestive Of the power Of God: a
man in high worldly station, going with
great display and standing with his char
lot in front of the door of the servant of
God, and craving for his healing infiu-
ence, receiving the simplest-yet effect
ive-command, not from the lips of the
Prophet himself, but through a servant
of the household.

LESSON XII. ....... .Naaman The Syrian.
2 Kings 5. 1-16.

| 2 Kings 5. l-16
| l Now Naaman, captain of the host of the
king of Syria, was great man with his master
and honorable, because by him the Lord had
given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a
mighty man in valor but he leper.
| 2 And the Syrians had gone out by compan-
| les, and had brought away captive out OF the
land of Israel little maid; and she waited on
Naanam's wife.
And she said unto her mistress, Would God
my lord were with the prophet that is in Sama-
ria! for he would recoyer him of his leprosy.
And one went in, and told his lord, saying,
Thus ard thus said the maid that is of the land
of Israel.
And the king of Syria said, Go to, go, and
will send letter unto the king of Israel. And
he departed, and took with him ten talents of
silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten
changes of raiment.
6 And he brought the letter to the king of Is
rael, saying, Now when this letter is come unto
thee. behold, have Herewith sent Naaman
my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover
him of his 1eprosy.
And it came to pass, when the king of ISra-
ell had read the letter, that he rent his clothes,
and said, Am 1 God, to kill and to make alive
that this man doth send unto me to recover a
man of his leprosy? wherefore con slider, pray
you, and see how he seeketh quarrel against
me.
s And it was so, when Elisha the man of God
had heard that the king of Israel had rent his
clothes, that he sent to the king, saying
Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him
come now to me, and he shall know that there
is prophet in Israel.
So Naaman came with his horses and with
his chariot, and stood at the door of the house
of Elisha.
10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him,
saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times,
and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou
shalt be clean.
II But Naaman was wroth, and went away
and said, Behold, 1 thought, He will surely
come out to me, and stand, and call on the
name of the Lord his God, and strike his hand
over the place, and recover the 1eper.
II Are not ALBANIA and Pharpar, rivers of Da-
mascus, better than all the waters of Israel?
may not wash in them, and be clean? So he
turned and went away in a rage.
13 And his servants came near, and spake un-
him, and said, My father, if the prophet had
bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not
have done it? how much rather then, when he
saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?
IA Then Went he down, and dipped himself
seven times in Jor Ian, according TO the saying
of the man of God; and his flesh came again
like unto the flesh of q little child, and he was
clean.
15 And he returned to the man of God, he and
all his company, and came and stood before
him: and he said, Behold, now know that
there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel:
now therefore, pray thee, take a blessing of
thy servant.
IS But he said, AS the Lord liveth, before
whom I stand, I will receive none. And he
urged him to take it; but he refused.

A Great Victory
A Terrible Case of ScrOfuIa
Cured by
Hoods SarsapariIla

I" In the winter of 1879 was attacked with
Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms.
At one time had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerahSe to endure. 1t is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation of W. j.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, I was induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the abScesseS have all
disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully leSS.' / do not know what it may
have done for others, but do know that in
my case, Hoods Sarsaparilla has proved an
my gratitude / send these facts unsolicited,
and am ready to verify the authenticity of
this cure, by personal correspondence with
any one who doubts it." CHARLES A. ROB-
ERTs, East Wilson, N. Y.
This statement is confirmed by W. j. Hunt
ley, druggist, of Lockport, N. Y, who calls the
cure q great victogy for Hoods Sarsaparilla.

To the Editor of the Standard:

import to those contemplating a visit;
i. e. the enterprise was set in motion by
one or two of our saloon keepers assisted
by Il few young men Of leisure, white and
colored, all of whom are known to be
anti-Christian in principle. One certain
saloon keeper, who was the most active
in the project, was haranguing an assem-
bly, of his colleagues in the interest of the
campmeeting, setting forth the rare
opportunity for money-making and hay
ing lots of fun. In the course of his
remarks, he dam-nd the churches for
selfishneSs and distractions to business
enterprises, and wound up with the fol-
lowing brilliant peroration, viz: 'And by
Cd fellers we will have one HI of
time -- the niger wenches;" on look
ing around to note the effect of his elo-
quence, he saw a colored gentleman.
Thinking that he had got his foot in it by
too much gusb, and desiring to throw oil
on the waters, he yelled out, "and white
gals too, all the same by Cd" The
above is not the precise language used,
but the nearest approach to it that COM
mon decency, and the law will allow. The
Police Gazette would not dare to publish
it verbatim and send it through the mail.
Now the question is, can colored women,
who make any pretensions to respectable
ity, attend this circus? If they do, for
one should conclude that they place a
very low estimate on their character.
Taking the word responsibility for all
that it implies, I doubt very much
whether a man could attend and still
retain the pure article. Let no colored
woman, who contemplates visiting this
nuisance, fatter herself that she is not
included among the niger wenches.
Whether you are black, brown, mulatto,
or boast of blue veins, there is no differ
ence in the estimate placed on you by this
class of persons. / would also say to
white parents of respectability that they
should not deceive themselves with the
idea that their daughters are not included
in the supplementary winding up of the
harangue above mentioned. Persons
possessing no virtue themselves, are inca
pable of admiring it in others-conse-
quently virtue would receive the same
sympathy and protection from this class
that lamb would receive from pack of
hungry wolves. The necessity for camp
meetings has long since vanished, and
with the necessity, their usefulness as a
mOraliZer also vanished, and as there can
be no intermediate point between good
and bad, the modern campmeeting has
assumed very unfavocable attitude as
viewed from a moral or religious stand
point
In conclusion, will say that the moral
OF religious portion of the colOred people
here, have nothing to do with this curse.
Both the Methodists and Baptists unite
in cOndemning it. 1t is entirely side
show, conducted by one Rev. Steptoe
