An Endless Chain.

Az the Legislature is about to
convene there comes the annual
agitation for more office room to
accommodate the State officials. 1t
seems to be a sort of wheel with
in a wheel, endless chain or what
ever figure you choose to fit the
case: the Legislature creates a lot
Of new offices and parcels them out
to its favorites; then comes the
cry for rooms for the oftice-holders,
who must needs have desks and
chairs and typewriters and type
writists and secretaries and cuspl-
dores and all the other parapher-
MALTA and trappings of authority.
When in due time the Legislature
invests some thousands of dollars
in an Office building, it is but
natural that with the character
istic sagacity and provision for
which the average aggregation OF
SoIons is noted, there should be
provision made for future cXpan-
sion, and the building Is made to
contain many vacant rooms avail
.hI. for offices. The succeeding
Legislatures, of course, ever on
the alert to utilize material going
f. waste, seize upon these vacant
office rooms aS a preteXt to provide
soft berths for other favorite sons
and anon another batch of office
holders is elected, the new build
ing is filled to overhowing and
thea they begin again to clamor
for another office building to house
the office-holders, and thus it goes
ON ad mfnitum, an endless chain.

Lest we should suppose that the affairs

Of the governments policy.
Jsroboam's First Mistake

Of the governments policy.
Jsrebeam's First Mistake
II should be remarked that one Of Gods
nrophets had specially foretold to Jero-
boam that he was to be the king Of the
ten tribes. It was doubtless this that led
him to head the insurrection. He should
have followed the example Of King Da-
yid. who WAS anointed king OF Israel sew
eral years before the death OF klng. SAhE
Young David was content to walt Gods
time for bringing him to tho throne. The
fact that God had indicated that this
v,ou,d be 70 did not indicate that the time
had come. hence David waited on the
Lord and meanwhile learned valuable les
sons of selt-control and trust In Divine
Providence.
Not 90 Jeroboam. Who was evidently
very different type Of man. no doubt pos
sessed of more confidence In himself than
Of trust In God; possessed OF more fmpa.
tience to be a king than OF loyalty ana
patriotic zeal TO serve God and ats people
This first mistake should be noted by all
"Wai, We upon me, saith the LOrd! The
man who ignores God is not wise: tho
man who opposes God IL fool.
Jsresoan,'s Second Mistake
When the :en .tribes revolted against
King Rchoboam. Solomon's son. they
promptly accepted Jeroooam. one OF Soio-
mons servants. ss their kins, In harmony
with the Prophets declaration OF years
before. Finally the boy Of humble birth
had reached a high station OF infuence-a
grand opportunity for service for his God
and his people Whoever occupies posi-
ton Of pro:nirence-politi:ai. social liter
ary-should recognize that thereby he has
come under special responsibility and OBJ
legations toward al! with whom he has
to do.
But Jerohoa.n. king Of the ten tribes
styled Israel, topil the course alas. TOO
commonly taNcn--the selfish course. he
looked net 10 the Lord to serve him. nor
to the people 10 serve their best interests.
He looked selhshly to his own interests.
He reasoned thus: II l would establish
my family In the kingdom OF these ten
tribes. ] must separate than enectuaily
from the influence Of the Kingdom OF 1u-
dab And SINCE In Gods Provtdence. the
Temple is In the land Of Judah. and all
the religious rites and interest Of the peo-
pie center there, I must as unobtrusfveiy
as possible turn the attention OF the ma
ton 1 rule away from sympathy with
their fellows Of the kingdom OF judah.
and away from the regulations which God
has established there.
Every worldly politician would declare
Jeroboam q master spirit as a ruler. as
politician. He was worldly wise. God
through the Prophet had assured him. "lf
thou wilt hearken to all that ! will com
mand thee, and wilt walk In my ways.
and do right in my sight to keep my
statutes and my commandments. az Da-
vid my servant did. thy kingdom Will be
