COOPERATION IN BIBLE TIMES

In common With many of the prophets of Bible
times. Ahijah, the who placed lereboam over
the ten tribes Of Israel, was a rural man, ". A

Elijah. who outwitted the brilliant and scheming
Queen JeZebel went about preaching IL his Shep-
herds mantel and carrying the Shepherds staff
as though proud OF his country origin. OF Elisha
his successor, we are told that at the time when
Elijah offered him job his helper he was
blowing with II yoke of oxen The factathat this
is recorded would interpret to mean that he
was considered skillful teamster.
When Saul first comes TO attention in the
Old Testament, he was out the range looking
for his fathers asses that had broken away from
the picket or escaped the wrangler. Later We find
him coming after the herd cut of the field. David
was red headed farm boy called from his keep
ing the sheep TO have Judge Samuel pass comp
ments upon him to his father and point out the
great possibilities he saw in the boy

which they had solved and which have

You will rot find the the subject Of cooperation

but you will find it put into practice
So far as can be learned, there were no isolated
farm houses where single families lived alone. AS
a general thing a number of more or less related
families united in forming rural village These
were not cities in any sense, nor even small towns
but little hamlets set in the midst Of the fields and
hills. The country districts We're dotted with
these tiny villages, and we find constant reference
to them throughout the Old and New Testaments
Every morning the men went out to the fields to
work and at night they back to the village
for shelter.
The reason for this gathering into villages was
that the farmers were under the necessity of Co
operating against the attacks OF enemies from the
