Oh there was a great famine in the
land where wicked Ahab was king. No
corn in the barns, no meal in the barrels,
no oil in the jugs and no rain for three
years. Grass was dead. The wells were
dry; the people were hungry and thirsty
and they prayed to their idols but it
done no good. Can you tell why? Then
Elijah said. let us try our gods. Your
Idol Baal and my God Jehovah. Let US
build two affairs and put a sacrifice on
each and let us call on our gods to send
fire to burn up the sacrifice and the God
that answers by fire will be the true God
and we will all pray to him. And they
agreed to this. Next morning early,
they built two affairs and put on the
wood and the sacrifices and the people
prayed to their idols saying: "Oh Baal
help u.s. At noon Elijah made fun of
them and said, "Call louder may be Baal
is asleep So they screamed and danced
all evening, but no fire came. Can you
tell why? Then Elijah came to his altar
and poured water all over thestsacrifice
and the wood until it ran all around the
altar; then he looked up to heaven and

that am thy servant Then fire came
down from heaven and burned up the
wood and the sacrifice and dried up the
water around the altar. Then the people
fell on their faces and said, '"The Lord
he is God" Can you tell why they did
this? Then Elijah told King Ahab there
would be rain soon and E lijah wentup
to the top of Mount Carmel and prayed
seven times and little cloud came up
out of the sea and the heavens grew dark
and there was great rain. And now
what do you suppose those idol worship
ers thought? They could now see that
Eliah's God could send fire or rain just

Lecture of q Novelist.

A well.known novelist delivered lecture
recently in which he read selections from
his own works. His reputation and the so.
ciety that engaged him brought together an
audience composed OF the best people Of the
neighborhood. After the lecture, when
people met, il was the proper thing for one
to ask the other:
"Were you at the lecturer" And the
answer in every case:
"Oh, yes! was there, but didn't hear
a word Did you hear the lecturer"
aWeil. no! was there, but couldn't
hear, either"
A friend who met the novelist few days
after his visit to the suburban town asked
him what kind Of audience he had, and how
he liked the town.
"It's fine place." was the reply, "and
had the most attentive audience that have
ever spoken to. No one made sound, and
