CHILDREN TAKEN
BY THE TOWN

Inc authorities TOOK possession,
on Tuesday of the two youngest child
rem of Mrs. Lavender, the wife of
the painter, who lives in this town,
and sent them to the Childrens Home
Society, Richmond, Rev. Mr.. Kahle
coming for them on Wednesday.
The husband left his family here
sometime ago, and has not been heard
from, as he had done on former &C.
casions it is said, and the mother of
these children has been unable to
care for them properly. The town
has been caring for them, and be-
sides, the authorities decided that
she is not a proper person to have the
custody of young children anyway,
and the law, which protects young
children, stepped in and took charge
of them.
This family has been vibrating in
and out of Tazewell for a number of
years. When they first came here
several years ago, Lavender was a
preacher, belonging, lie said, to the
Holiness sect, or Evening Lights, as
they were called. He was held in
good esteem for q while, b., he "fell
from grace" he said, and gave up
his church connections. Shortly he
left Tazewell, with his family. A
year or so ago his wife and children
came back to Tazewell, and reported
that the husband and father had left
them, and had taken up" with an
other woman. The family moved into
the basement room of the Stierne
building at the head of Main street,
and while there Lavender re-appear-
ed, and took charge of his family and
went to work at his trade, painting,
joined the Methodist church, and was
doing well, as everybody seemed
willing to give him lift and help
him along. However, ''the ruling
passion" to roam around, seems to
have seized him, and he Gilt out, 4"
and has not been heard from for n
long time, leaving his wife and child
rem to shift for themselves, and get
on as best they might.
OF late there has been great deal
of talk about the kind of houses she,
the mother, was keeping and hence
the action of the Mayor and authori-
ties, as recited above. Lavender is
not the only worthless and truant
husband known to Tazewel people,
who fail to provide for their families.
Whatever may be said of the woman,
the husband and father of the child
rem who goes Off and leaves them
helpless and exposed to all sorts of
temptation and forced into all sorts
of hardships in order to live, ought to
be put in the chain gang, and an
overseer put over him with "black
snake" whip, and made to work.
There is law on the statute books
of this state covering such cases, and
the law should be enforced. 1t APP
pears, however, that these worthless
husbands take care to leave the state
whenever they get tired of their fam
lilies. They should be hauled up.

1t should be remarked that one OF Gods
prophets had specially foretold to Jero-
boam that he WAS To be the king OF tho
ten tribes II was doubtless this that led
him to head the Instruction. lie should
have followed the example oSEliing Da-
vid who was anointed king of Israel sew
eral years before the death OF King Saul.
Young David was content to wait Gods
time for bringing him to the throne. The
fact that God had indicated that this
would be so did not indicate that the time
had come. hence David waited on the
Lord and meanwhile learned valuable les
sons OF sclf-contrcl ana trust In Divine
Providence.
Not JcrOboam who was evidently n
very different type of man, no doubt pos
sesscd OF more confidence In himself than
OF trust In God; possessed of more impa-
thence to he king than of loyalty and
patriotic zeal To serve God and mis- people.
This first mistake should be noted by all.
"Wait We upon me. saith the Lord" The
man who ignores God is not wise: the
man who opposes God is n fool.
Jcroboams Second Mistake
When the ten tribes rcvoltcd against
King Rehoboam, Solomon's son, they
promptly accepted JcrOboam. one of Solo
mons servants. as their king. in harmony
with the Prophets declaration OF years
before. Finally the boy OF humble birth
had reached a high station OF innuence-a
grand opportunity FOR service for his God
and his people. Whoever occupies n posi-
ton OF promincnce-polltical. social. liter
ary-should recognize that thereby he has
come under special responsibility and OBJ
legations toward all with whom he has
to do.
But Jeroboam king OF the ten tribes
styled Israel took the course. alas. too
commonly taken-thc selfish course. lie
looked not to the Lord to serve him, nor
to the people. to serve their best interests.
He looked selnshly to his own interests.
He reasoned thus: II l would establish
my family In the kingdom of these ten
tribes, ] must separate them enectually
from the influence OF the kingdom OF Jul
dab. And since. in Gods Providence the
Temple is in the land OF Judah. and all
the religious rites and interest of the peo-
pie center there, ] must as unobtruslvely
as possible turn the attention of the ma
ton l 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

Renewed Conservation to God
This was the very occasion for which
Asa had made preparation during his ten
years Of peace. He went forth with his
army to beat the invader. Nevertheless.
his faith looked up To God for the VIC
tory. realizing that with him was the
power to give or to withhold victory. In
the battle which followed. Asa and his
army were successful
Returning from the victory with hearts
grateful to God they were met on the way
by n Observation-Disclosures In the name
of the Lord counsellcd the king and his peo-
pie that they had all done well and faith
fully. and that. therefore. Gods blessing
was with them. and that the continuance
OF Divine blessing would depend upon
their faithfulness to God and TO the re-
quiremcnts of his Law.
The Divine warning helped the King
and his people to appreciate the situation
and to take a firmer stand than ever for
righteousness. A second and more thor
ough reformation was thus inaugurated
no dolatry was thenceforth permitted in
the kingdom under penalty of death. and
the Lords blessing continued with the
kingdom-Judah.
The God of Battle
Benevolent people. interested in peace
congresses etc. sometimes inquire how
we should understand the fact that the
God of the Old Testament Scriptures was
q God Of Battlc-sometimes commanding
war and the utter destruction of many.
The answer to this question can be ap-
preciated only when the situation is view
Cd from the proper standpoint. thus:-
The whole world was lost In sin and
was under condemnation to death as I'M
worthy of life. unworthy of Divine favor
Whether. therefore, God permitted them
to die by famine. pestilence, or by what
we sometimes designate natural death,
mattered not-the death sentence must
sooner or later be executed against their
nj any rate-all must ga down 10 the tomb.
We thank God, however, that his gra-
nous plan has provided n redemption OF
Adam and all of his race from the tomb
and from death. and a full opportunity
eventually. by resurrection. to come to q
true knowledge OF God and righteousness,
and. II obedient thereto to return ulti-
mately to Divine favor and to more than
was lost in Eden-all OF this recovery &C.
complished through Calvary.
The nation OF Israel was no exception
to this reign of sin and death. but God
chose them as nation to make OF them
types. shadows. illustrative of his gra-
cious purposes
