n ISTORY is the divine method of
III teaching by example. The. an
. nails of the divided kingdom which

tcdCuluS ny 6AdHiple. all
x mails Of the divided kingdom which
we have studied for the last quarter were
written to reveal the supremacy Of God
We have missed the message of the les
sons If we have not seen the presence Of
God in the records of men and nations.
In the first lesson. when we learned OF
the division of the Hebrew common
wealth that under the administration OF
Solomon had become a world power. we
read the record thai It was brought about
by JEHOVAH In our last lesson we learned
that God iavored Israel, as the prophet
told Ahab that Thou shalt know that
am the Lord" The Judgment placed
upon the kings both Of Judah and Israel
was determined by their attitude toward
Jehovah. Rehoboam, Jeroboam, Omri.
Ahab. as well as Jezebel and Benhadad,
were condemned and failed because they
were not followers Of Jehovah. Asa and
Jehoshaphat both received favorable
comment and succeeded because Of their
fidelity to Jehovah.
The prophets power was due to their
loyalty to God. The false prophets were
never able to divine the course of events
OF give correct judgment upon public af-
fairs. The true prophets of Jehovah,
although they took an unpopular position,
their force was recognized and their word
always came true. The widow of Zare-
phap and the wealthy Shunammite's eff
forts on behalf of the prophets Of God
stand forth in contrast with the perse-
cutions of Jezibal. Methods change, but
the principle remains true-the one that
honors God will be honored by Him. 10y
atty to God demands that He shall be
supreme. The lessons are many Of the
quarter. but the supremacy Of God is
the lesson. Happy is that people whose
God is the Lord"

The soldier in Gods army is unique in

The second urges us to fidelity and

The strength of the brotherhood is said
to be in its monthly observance In the
chapter corporate communion. During
the past few years this custom has de-
veloped In a large number Of parishes
throughout the country in which the
brotherhood has been established to a
monthly communion for the men Of the
parish, irrespective as to whether they
are members Of the brotherhood of St.
Andrew. or any other mems organization
of the parish. In many of the parishes. it
is said, this has been more effectually ac-
compiished. by the formation of Mems
Communicates Leagues. under the leader

said that the custom. which is growing
one, has done much toward developing
the general, spiritual tone among the
male members of parishes in which 1t is
in operation.

Dangers of Prosperity.

The great peril Of prosperity is that 1t
has a tendency to lead men away from
depending upon God. The power OF Man,
mon has not changed; 1t is still true that
1.-THE love of money is the root of all
evil.' Every one that reaches the posi-
ton in life that gives to him a large in
come faces the danger of trusting in
Mammon and forgetting God.
Prosperity caused the division of the
kingdom. The worldly policy of Solomon
carried the germs of apostasy. Glory led
to vice and corruption. The splendor Of
the vision Of Solomon's glory fades when
we count the cost Of his grand reign. In
were at work that threatened the destruc-
ton of the kingdom. The oppressive rule,
burdening the people to carry out his
world policy, prepared the way Tor the
disruption that followed his death. Polyg-
amy has always been the weakness or
oriental dynasties, because the harem be-
comes the hotbed of intrigue. Solomon
as well as Ahab was led astray by THIS
cause. Rehoboam, the obstinate son OF
Solomon. through false advisers depend
ing upon the> prestige of his father and
his own despotic rule furnished all that
Jeroboam needed to ferment a revolution
that divided the kingdom. He quickly
secured q large following among the
forces Of discomfort who objected to the
dsurpation Of their rights by the mon
archy. the centralized form Of govern
ment and the high cost of living which
oppressed and made serfs Of free men
and enriched the few at the expense OF
the many.
The people clearly perceived that the
world policy of the king meant the de-
struction of their liberty and ultimately
that Of Israel.
The northern section Of Palestine pos
sessed great natural resources. This gave
Israel the great advantage over Judah.
and here too, prosperity led to luxury
that brought on decay by undermining
moral character. Ahab, not satisfied, COW
eted Naboth's vineyard and brought the
final condemnation Of God upon the house
of Omri, although we saw In our last les
son that he was a victor in the battle
with Benhadad.
Times have changed, but the principles
have not: they are eternal. The fascina-
ton Of money is such that men bow down
before the shrine Of gold instead Of God
For this reason Jesus declared that a
rich man shall hardly enter into the
kingdom Of heaven" The plutocracy of
America and Of the world that Is to be
feared is the one that forgets God and
laws up treasures simply for itself Their
mitted to their stewardship has created
divisions in society. destroyed the spirit
of fraternity and filled the nations of the
earth with q spirit Of discomfort that
threatens diseaster.
History will repeat itself II wealth con-
tinues to accumulate and men decay.
The prophets message must be needed.
We must seek first the kingdom of God
and His righteousness" or Meme, meme,

Blessings Of Adversely.

Israel played q moro important part
than Judah in our studies because OF the
rapid change Of movements OF the north
ern kingdom. Fireworks and spectacular
efforts attract for the. moment. but they
are not marks OF progress. The great and
steady forces Of nature with their de-
veloping power are silent. Judah's his
tory il quieter than IsraePs but the 10
suits were destined to be OF more per-
