Read carefully the intervening |
Scripture following last Sundays les |
son to get the account of Elisha's ac-
tivities. There is recorded the story |
of the poisoned fountain (2:19-22). |
The "hoodlum" gang (vv. %, 24), |
which is story for boys. Note:
| Elisha had nothing to do with the

Shunammite woman wv. $50, and
the feeding of the prophets and the
people wv. 3S-44.
Now we come to Elisha's most ia
nous experience, that with Naaman
