THE STORY.

II HE prophet Elisha returned from
i Ramoth-Gilead disappointed and
perplexed. He had gone thither under
the confident expectation of amounting
Jehu king over Israel, but no word
a come from God directing such ac-
ton. He had waited impatiently for
several days looking for Divine light
and leading, but no Divine message
came, and at last he had returned
home, as we have said, disappointed
and deeply perplexed.
Years before when Elijah was about
to be taken from him into heaven he
had laid the solemn charge upon him
to anoint Jehu king over Israel. telling
him how the Lord had spoken to him
in the mountain and had told him hat
Jehu was to become king in the room
of Ahab.
At that time Jehu was a mere youth
promising, to be sure, but only be-
ginning his areer in the army-and
Elijah had understood that the time
had not arrived to anoint Jehu. When
King Ahab had been killed in the
battle with the king of Syria. the
prophet Elijah had not been surprised
or disappointed when Ahab's O
Ahaziah had come to the throne. not
withstanding the fact that the young
warrior Jehu had returned from the
battle with a glorious record for valor,
and had proved himself a leader of
great ability. Elijah had felt that the
time had not yet come when the word
of the Lord was to be fulfilled by the
amounting of Jehu.
But when the wicked, iniquitous
reign of two years had ended in the
i%gnominious death of Ahaziah as the
result of his fall during a drunken rev.
elry, and Joram, another son of Ahab.
had come to the throne without any
apparent opposition, Elijah had indeed
been disappointed.
1t was then that he had spoken to
Elisha Of the commission God had
laid upon him to anoint Jehu king
over Israel, and only a few short
weeks after that he had been snatched

Learned to Drink Coffee When a
Baby.

If parents realized the fact that cof-
fee contains a drug-caffeine-which
is especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before CIV
ing the babies coffee to drink.
When l was a child in my mothers
arms and first began to nibble things
at the table, mother used to give me
sips Of coffee. AS my parents used
coffee exclusively at meals I never
knew there was anything to drink but
coffee and water.
"And so I contracted the coffee habit
early. I remember when quite young,
the continual use of coffee so affected
my parents that they tried roasting
wheat and barley, then ground it in the
coffee-mill, as q substitute for coffee.
"But it did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again. That was
long before Postum vas ever heard of.
l continued to use coffee until l was ~,
and when l got into Office work, I be-
gan to have nervous spells. Especially
after breakfast I was so nervous I
could scarcely attend to my CORE
spondence.
"At night, after having coffee for
supper, / could hardly sleep, and on
rising in the morning would feel weak
and nervous.
"A friend persuaded me to try Post
UNI. My wife and I did not like it
at first, but later when boiled good
and strong it was fine. Now we
would not give up Postum for the
best coffee we ever tasted.
~ can now get good sleep, am free
from nervousness and headaches. I
recommend Postum to all coffee drink
ers.

Dispenser Of Kisses.

A Frenchman. who apparently has
been amusing himself by reckoning
up the number Of kisses he has given
his wife during the first 20 years Of
his married life.
He finds that in the first year he
dispensed about 100 kisses a day. or,
say. allowing for birthdays and legal
and church holidays, about 36.700 in
the year.
In the second year this number was
reduced by half. and in the third
year to ten a day, while in the fifth
year his better half had to be content
with two a day, one in the morning
and one in the evening.
What happened after the fifth year
is wrapped in mystery" but at the
same rate of progression" he prob
ably arrived eventually at M kiss on
the first OF January every leap year.

Elisha, in the amounting Of
Jehu, carried out the commits
sion which had been given to
Elijah owe 20 years before.
Thus are we reminded that
Gods plans extend beyond the
Iife-span Of any n man, and
we also find illustration of the
words Of Jesus: ~ sent you to
reap that wherein ye bestowed
no labor; other men labcred,
and ye r entered into
their labors." Paul was con-
seious of how the Divine tran
scended the human when he
wrote to the believers at Cor
NTH: "a have planted, ApolIos
Watered; but God gave the in
crease. So then neither is he
that planteth any thing, neither
he that w%atereth; but God that
giveth the increase"
God reveals his plans only to
those of his servants who in
faith and patience can wait Gods
time of fulfilIment.
The wicked house of Ahab,
and that wickedest of wicked
women, Jezebel, the wife of
Ahab, must have been a griev-
u trial to the prophet Elisha.
1t must have taken a vast
amount of the grace of God and
of faith to have waited through
those long years for the COM
Ing of the righteous judy
ment of God upon such wicked
ness. How often perhaps dur
ing those years the impatient
impulse must have seized
Elisha to go to Jehu and tell
him of Gods plan for him, SO
that it would hasten his efforts
to seize the kingdom. But as
often would come the con-
seriousness that man must wait
the fullness of Gods time, and
that to attempt to force the
hand of God, as one might say,
would be to invite not only fail
ure, but shame and dishonor.
No, the prophet must patiently
bide Gods time. He must wait
through the years and slowly
but surely see the wickedness
of the house of Ahab come to
its full fruition. Persecution,
trial, famine and the pestilence
of war must be endured. With
the PsaImist, Elisha could say:
~ had tainted, unless | had be-
lieved to see the goodness of
the Lord In the land of the Ilv-
ing" But at Iast-there is al
ways an at last with the Lord
the time comes when God
speaks and the prophet acts.
Then is that fulfilled concerning
which God had spoken so many,
many years before, and the war
rior Jehu who so unconsciously
had been growing and develop
ing through the years to fit into
Gods plans, suddenly flashes
forth as the avenging hand of
Gods judgment upon the
wicked.
Jehu showed a commendabIe
zeal in behalf of moral and re-
Iigious reform in Israel, but in
his personal life and conduct he
fell short of the measure of
Gods desire for him, as does
many another modern day re-
former. 1t is recorded of Jehu
that notwithstanding his cour-
ageous and energetic crusade
against the great evils that were
cursing the land of Israel, he
took no heed to walk in the
law of the Lord God Of Israel,
with all his heart" Ii is a
great thing to be identified with
a great reform, but how sad at
the last to be shut out from
fellowship with the God whom
position and ability has en-.
abled n to serve.
