THE STORY.

SCT HOU art early, but am always
! more than glad to see thee!"
and as the king entered the room he
extended his hand to the stalwart
young man bowling before him and
warmly clasped him in momentary
embrace. He had taken wonderful
fancy to this energetic official, and
other prince of the realm. There was
fascination about the strong per-
sonality of the young man which held
the man of maturer years. It took the
king back to the days of full strength
of his own young manhood and made
him feel again in the push and en-
srgy and keen ability of Jereboam
the thrill of the old ambition for the
accomplishment of great enterprises.
From the moment that he had first
discovered the young man at Zereda
ne had realized that he had gained
master hand which would make pos
sible the carrying out of some plans
he had conceived for the beautifying
and Strengthening of Jerusalem. And
so he had eagerly admitted Jereboam
to his condolences and finally had COM
mitted to his hands the work of build
ing the beautiful Milo and repairing
the difficult breaches of the royal
city.
Thus brought into almost daily con-
tact with the king the acquaintance
had grown until a strong intimacy
existed between the two The at
tendants in the palace soon learned
that Of all the kings guests Jereboam
was the most welcome and understood
that the king was never too busy to re-
ceive him. For this reason on this
morning on which our story begins
they had hastened off to the apart
ments of the king in response to the
request of Jereboam, who had pre-
scented himself at SO unusually early
an hour and had asked for the king.
And in response to the kings warm,
cordial greeting, Jereboam said:
TT is the kings business which
brings me thither, else would not
have disturbed thee at so unseemly
an hour"
well do / know what thy zeal is
bringing to pass" exclaimed Solomon,
approvingly.
'"Thy words of praise are refresh
ing, but we have not time to listen to
such fair speech this morning" and
the young man Immediately plunged
into the business which had brought
him to the palace. 1t was his habit
to reach an objective point in the
quickest and best way possible, and so
without waste of words he soon had
his case before the king, had re-
ceiyed his answer and additional in

Lifted up his hand against
the king."-Jereboam. had gained
the favorable regard of King
Solomon by his ability, industry
and bravery and had been gener-
ousIy rewarded with high posi-
tion and great authority, being
made chief over the most power
full tribe Of the nation of israel.
But like many another his great
success and the favors shown
him only turned him from loyal
service to the king to the serving
Of personal ambition.
Selfish ambition lie always
ready to offer up the friendships
of life upon the altar of personal
gain.
Jer<boam was not the first
man nor is he the last man to
let ambition dull his moral per-
ceptions and blind him to the OBJ
legations he has taken upon him
self.
Place side by side the pic
lures of the bright suspicious be-
ginning and the gloomy, dismal
ending of Jereboam's life and we
can read the story Of cause and
effect; the sowing and the reap
ing. God gave to this promising
young man great opportunities
and great gifts, he sent his proph-
ct to him to plead that righteous
ness and truth and devotion to
God might control his life, but
he turned a deaf ear to Gods
voice and he prostituted his
sacred trusts to the realization
of personal gain, and just as he
sacrificed the friendship Of the
king so he forfeited the favor of
God. He was afraid to do right,
thinking to lose all, and in doing
wrong he found ultimately that
he had lost all and brought dis
aster and disgrace upon his
household.
Ambition needs the checkrein
Of devotion to God and loyalty
to friends.
Jereboam owed much, very
much, to his friend King Solo,
mon, and then used the place
and power thus conferred upon
him to the hurting Of his friend.
Thus we find Jereboam repay
ing SoIomon's kindness in the
worlds coin of inaratitude.
A trust incurred should not
become the open door of oppor-
tunity for the securing of per-
sonaI gain.
A false friend! How repuI-
sive the thoughts! How unworthy
any member of the human fam
lily. And yet how often are such
met with. There is nothing
which so wrecks ones faith in
human nature as to have those
from whom we would naturally
expect the most prove false, and
not only use the favors which
have been shown them for per-
sonal gain, but 20 the positive
hurt of the former friend.
avery man is friend to him
that giveth gifts" says Solomon,
but it is not the kind of friend
ship that sticks, but is of that
quality which characterized Jer-
eboan.

Sailors outwitted Pirates.

Pierre Loirat, a retired sea captain,
has just died near Bordeaux at the
age of 1913. He was only II when he
went to sea as a cabin boy, and later,
while serving in a French bark, he
was taken captive by Spanish pirates.
He and his fellow prisoners succeeded
in overpowering their captors, taking
command of the vessel and bringing
it safely into French port, where
the pirates were handed over to the
law.

veX American Jews woh are eager to
gether the lost tribe of Israel there.
He said:
1.-THE Jews, so eminently successful
in all mercantile lines in almost every
corner Of the world, have had poor
luck in trade in the land of their
origin. No Jewish merchants with
strong capital have considered it
worth while to establish themselves in
the coast cities.
There can be no doubt that Pales-
tine is bound to become a cosmopoli-
tan country of first rank as soon as
the necessary improvements in high
ways and thoroughfares are accom-
plished. These developments will all be
made whether the Jews cooperate or
not"
A resolution was adopted by the
convention ordering that a day be as
signed for a national Jewish Arbor
day, when all Jewish societies shall
hold mass meetings and funds shall
be collected for the planning of olive
trees in Palestine.
