AND EVIL IN JEHU.
LESSON H. SECOND QUARTER, M
TERNATIoNAL SERIES, APRIL IL.

Compiled from Lesson Helper Quarterly by per
mission OF II. S. Hoffman, publisher PhiladeL
phia.
IS. "And Jehu gathered all the people to
gether"
We find this mans name nearly forty
times in this and the preceding chapter,
and not over n dozen times elsewhere He
is evidently the Lords minister Of judy
ment upon sin and sinners but does not APP
pear to have been true worshiper of the
true God
10, 81 have a great sacrifice to do Baal"
Thus said Jehu as he commanded to be
gathered together all the prophets, priests
and servants Of Baal that he might destroy
them. Baal was the chief male deity Of
the Phoenicans and Canaanites. The word
signifies master or possessor, aud is used
fifteen times in this chapter, which is more
often than it is found in any other chapter
in the Bible. The worship of Baal meant
the forsaking of the only true God, the God
OF Israel, and an Identification with the false
religions OF the nations, and was great
provocation of jehovah.
20. "And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn
assembly for Banl.o
His purpose is stated in the previous
verse to have been that he might destroy
the worshipers of Baal, but he is doing it
deceitfuly, ana a God of truth cannot de-
ceive nor authorize deceit.
Il. and Jchu sent through all Israel;
and all the worshipers Of Baal came, 50
that there was not q man left that came
not"
And we read that the house of Baal was
full from one cad TO the other. Here is
devotion worthy Of a better cause but it is
even 80 TO this present day.

DETROIT, Aug. 5.-In her address to
the Woman's Relief Corps Mrs. Mary
McHenry, of Denison, Ia., the national
president, dwelt upon the necessity
of keeping before congress the needs of
army nurses, and deplored the failure
year after year Of the efforts to
extend to these deserving women the
benefits Of the pension law. Congress,
she said, should pass a special pension
law for them and to that end the records
should be completed as soon as pos
sible. So far $4,000 names were enrolled;
but of $4,000 more there was no record
whatever. The speaker made refer
ence to the fact that considerable work
was being done among the colored
people, and that corps auxiliary to
posts of colored veterans had within a
year been organized as follows: Twelve
In Virginia, in tho Carolinas, in
Florida, tn Louisiana, In Tennessee,
each in Georgia, Arkansas and Missis-
sippi. National Secretary Hannah
Plimpton, of Iowa, next presented her
report showing q total membership Of
7,776, divided into e,O22 corps and cov-
eripg nearly every state and territory.
Owing to the delinquent reports, which
were discredit to the order, there had
been loss Of 321 corps, representing q
membership of 1884, during the year.
The general and relief funds now on
hand aggregate $160,S00.
In response to a letter Of love and
sympathy from Mrs. Logan, the follow
ing was telegraphed: "Greetings to
our revered and beloved sister and
widow Of John A. Logan, blessed in
memory. May gracious Peace spread
her sheltering wings over her this day.
