flee for u.s. Most of us prefer to seek
healing in the clear and convenient
waters of Damascus.
All, Naaman. they who seek God s
favor must accept it on His terms.
With Him the great general is on the
same plane as the little child. Saliva
ton is simple. But it can be got only
in Gods way. Naaman would go to
the grave leper unless he first went
to the Jordan and washed seven times,
in token of full obedience and faith.
And still the worlds cleansing from
sin is in the crimson stream that flows
from Calvary. And. thanks to servants
wiser than himself in this matter,
Naaman decided to follow the
prophets instructions, and so he was
made clean and whole.
What a combination of circum-
stances go into this one healing-as
into every other work of God on
earth. There was the smitten soldier,
directed toward healing by the sym
pathetic servant. Thus he found Cod s
man and Gods plan-and new life.

Mhile panic Possessed DC court.

While panic possessed the court,
Elisha, the successor to Elijah, stepped
forward with the audacious word
which nevertheless brought relief to
the king-"Let him come now to me,
and he shall know that there is a
prophet in Israel" Whenever the rep
resentatives of religion are prompt
and bold and outstanding, and ready
to assume their obligations and lead
ership, the good repute of the Cause
rises at once. Elisha, like true
prophet, seized every opportunity to
vindicate his God.
Now let us summon our imagination
as we look upon what followed. Elisha
was more of a settled prophet than
Elijah and he had house. 1t was not
much of a house-the preachers resi-
dence is not likely to be pointed out
for its pretentiousness-probably 1t
was a single-story, mud-brick dwell
ing, without windows 1t was an aver
age home for those days, but we have
nothing poor enough to compare 1t
with. OF course the neighborhood was
not select" and the neighbors were
the common people.
What a sensation was created one
day when in front of this house halted
magnificent procession There were
Syrian soldiers in brave array, as a
glittering escort. There were servants
besides, and splendid camels bearing
gifts. In the center of 1t all was the
golden chariot of the great Naaman

himself. Was ever before such a call
upon a poor preacher?
But look! The prophet does not
rush out and PROSTATE himself before
all this pomp and power and wealth
Elisha belonged to that larger body
of preachers who have never learned
how to grovel before worldly position
He bowed much before God, but he
stood upright before men. So the
naughty Naaman is kept standing.
After time there comes out from the
humble dwelling a message-not the
prophet himself, but only message
to the effect that the leper should go
and wash seven times in the Jordan.
A Patient Angry With the Doctor
Now we come to the nub of the
story. The great lesson is in what
followed. For Naaman was wroth that
he, the mighty general, should have
been treated in this casual manner.
This Hebrew prophet had not paid due
honor to his position. He has expected
a great hocus- pocus over his leprosy-
signs. incantations, charms, exorcisms,
medicines and what not And here
the only satisfaction given him was a
curt word, sent by a messenger, to go
and bathe seven times in a dirty Jew

sparkling Abana river, which flows

Right here comes the sticking point
in all matters of personal discipleship
Men want Gods healing from sin, but
they want it in their own way, with
full recognition of their rank We
who are in any wise distinguished
and everybody thinks that he is-do
not want salvation in the same way

How the newspapers nowadays
bridge the gulf of the centuries! They
link the old Bible right up with events
of to-day; Bible places figure in the
latest news and Bible incidents are
paralleled in current events. All of us
have been reading about Damascus as
military center in the present war
and for many months the place where
the civilian French, British. Russian
and Italian we're interned by the Turks
before they were carried off to Urfa,
in Mesopotamia. Now, many millions
of Sunday school members are study
ing about this same Damascus-the
oldest living city on earth-in connec-
tion with a famous military general
little girl, and a preacher. The incl
dent Is one of the most familiar and
, interesting stories of the Old Testa-
ment.
Zest for the human interest element
in history leads us to accent the part
| borne by the little Hebrew serving
maid in the miracle of the healing of
Naaman, the leper. Because she was
rot ashamed of her race or her re-
| ligion, and because she did not harbor
any petty resentments, she did a great
| service for her nation and for her
| faith, and became one of the immor-
| tails of history. At the present time
| there are thousands of Armenian girls
| being carried off from devastated
| homes and murdered families into
Turkish harems. If we can imagine
one of these magnanimously seeking
to save the life of Enver Pasha we
| shall have fair analogy of the ancient
| story.
