Verse IA terrific message.
Omri made a name for himself among
the neighboring nations, as Is evil
denced by the Moabite stone, which is
an ancient inscription concentrating
the victories of Mesha, king of Moab.
His reign was marked by great mate
rial progress, but there was a great
decay morally and religiously. Ahab
came into a complicated legacy, and
he made matters worse by his impe-
rialistic policies. The Syrians had over
run the land during the reign of Omri,
and Benhadad thought he could easily
bring the Israelites into subsection
when Ahab came to the throne. He
acceded to the Syrian up to a certain
point. but when the Syrian demanded
that his servants should be allowed to
90 through the capital Of Samaria and
seize whatever they desired Ahab en-
ph~atically refused, being unwilling to
submit to such humiliation. He was
encouraged to take this stand by an
unknown prophet, who also assured
him of victory over the Syrian army
Xxx. 49,. Would that he had always
taken counsel from the servants OF Je-
hoyah. But, alas. his hands were tied
through his marriage with Jezebel, the
daughter of Ethbaal, king of Zidon in
Phoenicia. One of her first acts was to
establish a temple to the honor of Baal-
Melkarth. the god Of her native land.
This heather temple, with its altar and
priesthood, its splendor and spectacu-
lar display, by contrast belittled the
temple of Jehovah. Many Israelites
were led astray.. Ahab was so com
pletely In the hands of his wife and
was so weak in character that nothing
was said against these encroachments
of h~eathenism. None Of the religious
leaders seemed to have shown any
courage in this time of grave crisis and
peril. The tame subservience and the
servile cowardice of those in power, as
well as the reckless self assertion Of
.Jezebel. were suddenly and dramatical-
" exposed. Elijah the Tishbite." The
name had never been heard of before,
but henceforth it was never to be for
gotten. Gilead was situated In the
highlands on the east of the Jordan,
where desert and mountain meet. "The
Lord COD of Israel" The name of
Jehovah, the God of Israel. had not
been used with such prophetic JUNCTION

ant of the Highest and to do his bid

not only with his own players, but with
the public as well. He is given credit
for having drilled the Chicago White
Sox into playing a better article of a
than they have shown in recent years,
and he has shown himself to be a quiet
yet strict leader ever since he took
charge of the team.
On paper the Sox do not look strong
enough to be figured as having a chance
for the flag. though 1t is n team which
will be troublesome all the time, be-
cause it has a pitching staff which a
come pretty near to holding down most
Of its rivals. But it is not the hitting
team that Detroit is. and neither does it
display the spirit that Jennings instills
into his players. But both of these
western teams are sure to be contend
ers in the race.

SENIOR BEREAN.

the land must depend on the heavy
dew. The punishment that was to be-
fall the nation for its apostasy was
therefore very severe. ''These years."
The drought lasted for three years.
Verses PA protected messenger.
The startling announcement was
clearly uttered by this fiery prophet, and
then he disappeared into the solttudes
from which he had come. Turn thee
eastward" He was divinely directed
to seek safety from the wrath of the
king "by the brook Cherith.N He was
to remain in hiding In one Of the wild
est sections of the country, and as lie
was familiar with this region he would
be safe from the enemy. 1.-The ravens
to feed thee" These birds of iii omen,
according to oriental belief, were to be
the marvellous agents Of God in caring
for Elijah's wants.
Verses S-16.-An unusual minister.
The God of nature, who had thus far
supplied his needs, now directed him
to Zarephath, on the coast Of Phoe-
nicia, about ten miles to the south of
Zidon. This was In the land Of the
Baal w~orshipers. but he was safer here
than In the land of Israel. because
Jezebel would hardly look for him
here. 81 have commanded a widow
woman" Elijah was not only to re-
ceive material help, but he was also to
learn the kinship of human nature
through one who was a foreigner and
a heather. He doubtless hesitated ut
first to follow the divine leading, but
finally obeyed. "a little water" This
was his greatest need, for after his long
journey he was exceedingly thirsty. "a
morsel of bread" The woman was will
ing to give him the water, but she OBJ
jected to giving him any food. On ac-
count of the universal distress her sup
ply had been reduced to "a handful Of
meal in a BARREL" and this was just
enough for herself and son for one
starvation and death. "As the Lord
thy God'-"Jehovah thy God" She rec
ognized In the speech and dress of Eli
jah a worshiper Of Israel, and her oath
was a declaration of her sincerity as to
her condition. "The barrel of meal
shall not waste" What happy news
this was TO the heather woman! Could
1t really be true that this stranger
spoke truly when he declared that meal
and oil should not fail her during all
the days of drought? 1t speaks well Of
her faith that she believed the prophet
and did according to the saying Of
Elijah" in providing him with "a little
cake first" Her faith was amply re-
warded. By the grace of God she. her
son and the prophet did eat many
days" (for nearly two years. while 9TH
ers were perishing of hunger. The
promise was thus fulfilled.

Be Earnest and Thorough and You Arc
Bound to Succeed.
There is a feature OF Dickens char
acter which cannot be too often or too
seriously insisted upon, and that Is his
intense earnestness and thoroughness
In everything he did. He said to me
more than once:
MY dear boy. do everything at your
best. If you do that neither l nor my
one else can find fault with you. even
II you fail. For myself. l can honestly
say that I have taken as great pains
with the smallest thing I ever did as
with the biggest"
In giving advice to a young author he
said on one occasion:
III you want your public to believe
In what you write you must believe In
1t yourself. When / am describing a
scene I can as distinctly see what I
am describing as l a see you now. So
real are my characters to me that on
one occasion I had fixed upon the
course which one Of them was to pur.
sue. The character, however, got hold
of me and made me do exactly the OPP
posite to what l had intended. but |
was SO sure that he was right and l
was wrong that l let him have his W
way"
Whatever he did either in work or
at play he always gave Of his very best.

THE R r BosPoRus.


Only oJs39 Feet. ,
The Bosporus contains few danger
u submarine rocks or shoals. The
locality Of these few is indicated by
lighthouses or buoys. The water Is
only slightly tipged with salt and is
ma%rvelously clear. The sands, glitter
ing apparently nea the surface, may
be twenty feet below.
On a map. Of whatever scale, each
Of those familiar straits, which cleave
lands and continents asunder. seems
hardly more than a silvery thread.
Yet as one sails over their famous wa
tiers the opposing shores on either
hand sometimes appear far away. The
strait Of Gibraltar. which wrests Afri-
ca from Europe, is sixteen miles wide;
that of Messina, forcing its way be-
tween Italy and Sicily, is from two to
twelve; that of Bonifacio, which. like
a blade Of steel, cuts Corsica and Sar-
LIMA apart, Is seven miles In width Mt
its most contracted point; even the
Dardanelles expands from over one to
four.
But the illusion as to distance Great

Does Not Act the Hero.
He is a hero, but does not act the
hero. He will stand the strain of this
protracted war whether he Is covered
with praises or not. He is not fighting
for praise or compliments or acclama-
ton, but for his invaded country and
for his ideal of a peace based ON JUS
tice.
When the newspapers arrive they are

letins are listened to in eager silence.

poilus" a storm Of angry "Oh! La
barber" breaks out.
"Barbe" means beard, that which Is
shaved, and as the word for shave
means also to bore to death, ia barbe"
means enough of that stale talk"
1t sounds so insincere and insulting,
for 1t seems as If it was heaped up and
repeated for fear we should otherwise
give way. 1t seems to smack of cow
ardice and want of tact. Do tell your
American readers these pictures are
overdrawn, without foundation or re-
semblance. Tell them the men are far
more modest, human and sympathetic
than Is to be inferred from most news
papers. They do not act, they do not
pose and are really quite unassuming.
The French army Is an image of
France as a whole and, what is best of
it, not an image Of what a few over
anxious, hysterical admirers fondly i'm
agine it to be.
There is not only much heroism, but
heroism so remarkable that it stands
out, and those who witness it feel a
kind of shame in speaking of 1t, cou-
pied with the fear, nay, the certainty,
of inability to do it justice.
Servant Gets Legion of Honor.
The war has brought about many odd
situations all through France. Here is
one of the strangest:
A leading light of the Partisan bar
was deprived of CASTOR, his butler, by
the mobilization. CASTOR has returned,
decorated with the Legion of Honor
and exempted from further military
service because Of an incapacitating
wound that does not, however, inter-
fere with the exercise of his calling.
His place had been kept for him, but
his return plunged the barrister into a
~perplexing embarrassment.
While CASTOR wears the red ribbon
there were among the habitual guests
Of the house a number of eminent
members of the bar whose button
holes are entitled to nothing but flow
ers. The properties and all rules of
precedence We're contrary to the idea
of a Legion Of Honor mar serving one
not decorated.
The judge refused to part with his
servant and solved the problem by de-
Gliding that none but Legion Of Honor
men shall eat at his table.

1t Is by mean of data of this kind

1t has been shown that the Missouri
