According to all human calculations
Jehoram should have been captured.
The only reasonable excuse for his
failure, Benhadad thought, was due to
q leak 1t seemed almost certain that
some trusted servant had played the
part of traitor. When through re-
peated failures he was convinced that
some one had betrayed him he called
for a show of hands He did not find
the traitor. but he learned the cause
of his several defeats.
The servant of the Syrian king. who
IN all probability was Naaman, whom
Elisha had healed of his Ieprosy, did
not understate the facts when he wise
~ suggested that elisha, the prophet
that is IN Israel, telleth the King of
Israel the words that thou speakest
in thy bedchamber.'
Benhadad was blind to power of the
invisible forces that enabled Elisha to
save his sovereign and his state.
Pharaoh learned TO his sorrow the folly
in the days OF the Exodus encamped
around His people. He has watched
over all those that feared Him by his
angel and delivered all those that
trusted in Him Every attempt to
crush the church has failed because
God stands within the shadows keep
Ing watch above His own" Benhadad
neglected to consider that the one who
could detect the kings plans against
Jehoram could also detect his plans
against himself and prevent him car
rying out his program through the
same in visible forces that enabled him
to foil his efforts against Israers king.
The servant of Elisha, who proba bly,
had been selected from among the sons
of the prophets to take the place of
CohaZi. also lacked the ability to be-
hold the invisible forces that were con-
trolling the destiny OF men and ma
tions. When the soldiers of Benhadad
hastened 10 Dothan and surrounded the
city Of the prophet the young servant
was filled with anxiety, because he did
not see the invisible forces that had
been assembled to protect Elisha His
thoughts were occupied with the diff
culties and dangers that threatened
the prophet of God. He, too. was baf-
fed by his lack of spiritual vision.

Elisha's confidence, courage and con-

perceive the reality OF the unseen

Elisha's experience has been confirmed
by modern missionary work. Paton's

providential manner that they were

Abraham. the organization of the ma

1sraeIs real progress was along spir-
itual lines. The record Of the advance
ment of any people is in the develop
ment of their religious life. Spiritual
progress is unlimited. The greatest
growth is only possible when we real
iZe thep' resence of God with us in the
daily conflicts of life. The reality of
the invisible presence, power and pro-
lection of God has been demonstrated
by the spiritual experience of men in
all ages. They testify to Gods loving
watch and care, and that the power of
vision is closely related to prayer, that
lifts the curtain and reveals to US dur
ing our hours of close communion with
the Father the evidence of His presence
in the invisible world in which we are
living.
The laws that govern the. physical
world in which we dwell, even life it
self. are unseen realities. Electricity, air
and many of the greatest forces in the
world are invisible and silent. The un-
seen forces are more potent than the
seen. The spiritual is more powerful
than the material. These invisible
forces God assemblies to encamp over
US in our peril and deliver us from our
enemies. We ought in the times Of
stress, storm and struggle rejoice. not
because that they that are with us
are more than they that are with
them," but also that we will conquer
by seeing Him that is invisible" Vic
tory follows vision.

This Jail. il has been said is idea-
teal IN many details to the ideas the

the proposed local institution and
since conditions there are similar
to those here the committee viii like

OF jaunts. besides the cost it would
be to the county.
4 number of architects have offer
ed their services both from this
county and others from Chicago and
eastern cities. 4 local member of the
committee declared this morning, how
ever. that none of the outsiders would

ent plans will accompany the com
mittee on its trip for the purpose OF
drawing up the plans in the shape
that the members decide upon.
The time of the trip will likely be
