The Lessons.-Of the six kings con-
sidered in the lessons two were good
and four were bad, but even the good
kings made grave mistakes which God
did not fail to record for our instruc-
ton and warning. Note that the gen.
eral tendency in the two kingdoms is
downward, toward the ultimate ruin
which engulfed first Israel and then
Judah. The events of the lessons natu-
rally group themselves around the
kings of Judah and Israel and the
prophet Elijah. For this reason the
review may well be made a character
study. Note how the character of the
kings determine largely the char
acter of the nation; good kings bring
ing about wholesome reforms and bad
kings causing great moral and religi-
Gus decline The lessons are full OF
God, of His mercy, patience and judg-
ment on sin; Of sin. its beginnings, Its
progress, its ultimate ruin and death
of prayer, its Importance, the character
Of true prayer. its power and the ne
cessity Of prayer.

points in each lesson by an acrosti

and of Elijah and after the following

sons:
Rehoboam ruptured the kingdom,
Exasperated his subjects.
Needed not wise advice.
Obeyed false leaders.
Boosted of what he would do.
Ordered Adoram to a fatal task,
Almost lost his own life,
Made a failure of life.
Jeroboam built cities.
Established his kingdom.
Relied on his own wisdom.
Evil purposes carried out,
Built golden calves.
Ordered people to worship them.
Altered the feast days,
Made priests of the lowest OF people.
Asa allied himself with God.
Sought for religious revival.
Applied himself to national problems

rest of the lessons can be worked ou
in this manner. This method woul

MORE ABOUT The WRECK
Had it Not Been fir Goodness of En-
aineer and Conductor a Terrible
Catastrophe Would Have Been
the Result.

Three men are now behind the bars

tic Coast Line Sunday night at Allapa.
ha, which came neaF causing the
death Of number of people, and it
| is believed that one of the three ar.
rested is the guilty man.
One Of these men we're chased down
by bloodhounds shortly after the
wreck occurred, while the other two.
one black and one white, were arrested
late Monday afternoon.
Engineer Potter, who was injured in
the wreck, was reported as progress.
ing very satisfactory and will proba-
bly, be able to be at his post of duty
again in a few days.
Much praise was heard of the popu
lar engineer yesterday and it was only
by his quick thought ard action that
the entire train wss 2ot smashed into
splinters and a majority of the pas
sengers and crew Of the train killed
outright,
More details were learned yesterday
Of the cowardly attempt to wreck the
train. and it was one of the most dare
ing acts every attempted IN this sec
ton
Conductor Virgins. who was in
charge Of the train, also demonstrated
that he well knows what to do when
facing such peril AS soon as the
conductor was aware that his train
was about to plunge into an open
switch, he rushed through the car and
warned the passengers to remain in
Gheir seats. His in nstructions were
followed by every passenger except
one, and when the clash came this
excited one was thrown heavily
against a seat and received slight in
iuries. The ether only felt the shock.
The conductor was making from one
coach to another when the train struck
the fiat cars and he was knocked
through the door of the coach but did
not receive any injuries.
Another train was following behind
the Dixie Flyer" and the conductor
quickly placed the signal lights on the
rear coach Of his train. Had the first
train been completely wrecked the
train following may have also gone
lin the open switch before the engineer
could have been signalled.
However it is indeed fortunate that
Engineer Potter observed the man
turning the switch. Otherwise ii
would have been one or the worst
wrecks on record.
