The Point of This Study

There is a lesson In this study for all,
namely, the Importance of wisdom in our
decisions, especially at the start of life
and at various partings of the ways, az
we come to them in life's journey. To all
there Is lesson worth learning in the
matter OF pride and ambition, threats and
attempted coercions and the unwisdoul Of
such courses, as we'll as their injustice.
Wealth, power, influence, gained through
oppression and injustice, are unworthy Of
noble minds, and this principle can be ap-
piled on the smaller scale as we'll as on
the larger In homes the principle op-
crates between parents and children, be-
tween husbands and wives. Alas! too Of
ten in the home control is held by force
rather than by love and esteem and the
appreciation Of justice and the general
welfare.
Another lesson is that in every enter
prise Of life we should seek counsel. In
this connection let Us remember the words
Of the Apostle that we seek the wisdom
that cometh from above, that is fret
pure then pea ceable, easy of entreatuen ut
and fuu Of mercy and good fruits"

The Grieyous Decision

Next, Rehoboam called the young men,
his friends and acquaintance, his school
mates, whom he was disposed more and
more to bring into power with himself.
Their advice was that the one way for
monarch to be successful Is to intimidate
his subjects and rule them with heavy

their children, for the reason that tho
children did not look to others as they
did to the loving maternal eye.
