The maid remembered the Prophet
Elisha and how wonderfully Divine
power, through him, had healed dis
eases. Instead of rejoicing that her
captor and master was suffering,
she sympathetically inquired why he
did not go to the Prophet, who, she
felt sure, would be glad to pray for
him and heal him.
Although it seemed like catching
at straw, Naaman followed up the
suggestion; he got letter from his
King to the King of Israel and pre-
sented himself to the latter, request
ing healing by Israel's great Prophet,
of whom he had heard. The King
was astonished. He knew leprosy
to be incurable. Apparently he
knew little about Elisha's powers.
He surmised that the King of Syria
was intent upon picking a quarrel
as an excuse for sending an invad-
ing army to pillage his kingdom.
Eventually, however, Naaman was
directed to Elisha's place of resi-
dence, at a distance from the King's
Court.

GENERAL NAAMAN, of the
" army of Syria on the north
ern border of the land of Israel, was
sick man. He had the loathsome
infection and incurable disease CALL
ed leprosy. Wealth, influence at
Court, life's abundance and honors
could not offset this plague upon
his life.
The study of to-day tells of his mi
raculous healing by the Prophet Eli
sha. In Naaman's household was
a young girl who had been captured
from the Israelites and was slave,
although doubtless we'll treated.

spikes from the inside of one of the
rails and propped up one end of the
rail so that the wheels of the engine
would strike it and derail the train.
AS a motive for the crime. the detec-
tives allege that Giacomo Lisi. who was
formerly employed by the road as q
track walker. had been discharged and
that he looked for revenge and chance
to loot the passengers. Antonio Diorri
is said also to have desired revenge for
a fancied grievance. That there was no
attempt made to rob the passengers, the
detectives claim. is due to the fact thzt
only two of the cars went down the
embankment and that there were too
