Promptly the answer came, Fear
not; for they that be with us are
more than they that be with them.
The servant did not appreciate THIS;
for he had not come to realize fully
what Divine powers were with ms
master. Then Elisha prayed that the
young mans eyes might be opened;
and he beheld angelic hosts, horses
and chariots of fire round about
Elisha. This was sufficient TO give
the young man the needed courage
and to assure him of Gods power.
Just what kind of vision this was
makes no difference. Undoubtedly it
was merely a vision without any
reality; but il served its purpose.
Gods power surrounds all His con-
secrated people in an unlimited mea-
sure. These powers are exercised by
spirit beings, entirely invisible to
man. The important thing is TO get
the right thought-that under all
conditions omnipotent power stands
behind and completely surrounds
those who are His. Nothing can be-
fall this special class except in ac-
cord with the divine program.-Ro-
mans S:2S.
The Syrian Host Captured.
The prophet exercised a supernat-
ural power Of binding the Syrian
host; but just what the power was
or how il was accomplished We can
only conjecture. Doubtless their
eyes were wide OPEN and doubtless
they saw the hills. valleys, roads, etc. /;
but their eyes of understanding were
closed, apparently. in some hypnotic
manner. Elisha gave them to un-
derstand that he would lead them to
the proper city; and he did so, guild
ing them straight to the city of Sa-
There, surrounded by the hosts OF
the capital. he broke the hypnotic
spell Their eyes we're opened; and
they perceived that they were in the
hands Of their enemies. who. with
drawn swords and levelled spears
offered no opportunity to escape
They had been entrapped. but not to
their injury-for their good. for their
instruction.
The king Of Israel inquired Of the
Prophet Elisha whether or not he
should smite these and destroy them
or what. The answer was. mo. feed
them and let them return peaceably
to their own home" The king caught
the spirit of the proposition. and not
merely gave them bread and water
such as might be given to prisoners
but made them a bountiful feast
treated them royalty, treated them az
| friends. They they were set free L
go to their own land. and there tC
tell the strange experiences that ha,
occurred and to demonstrate 10 thei
king the impossibiliy of successful,
fighting against the kingdom o
Israel under such circumstances.

Elisha AWakens the Shunammite's
Son. Furnishes His Servant Gehazi
-Entraps the Syrian Army and
Renders Them Good for Eyll-Im-
pOrtant Lessons in Righteousness.
The angel of Jehovah encampeth
round about them that fear Him,
and delivereth them. Psalm 34.7.
In today's study we note Elishas
awakening of the Shunammite's son,
his punishment Of his servant Geha-
ri with leprosy, and his entrapping
OF the Syrian army. While these
events may not find exact counter
parts in the events OF the coming
Kingdom. they nevertheless repre-
sent principles which will operate
then-reward for right-doing. punish
ment for wrong-doing, and sympa-
thetic restraint and instruction. All
these principles will operate during
Messiah's Kingdom, and under these
the world will gradually make prog

Gehazi Smitten With LeprOsy.
In many respects Gehazi had been

result he had blessings Of knowledge
which the majority Of people did not
possess. With the knowledge came
responsibility; hence the severe pun

pocrisy and deception Ezekiel $500;

When General Naaman perceived
the great miracle. accomplished in
his cleansing from leprosy. he re-
turned to Elisha offering thanks to
God and desiring the prophet TO re-
ceive the presents which he had
brought But Elisha refused. In this
he manifested what we believe is al
ways the Lords spirit-never to sci
spiritual things for money. It is 70
this reason that some ministers nov

vice should be given with free
hand and ready heart. It is a priv
ilege to give to the Lord and His
cause; but the Almighty is not poor,
that He should need our gifts.-John
4:2S; Haggai 2:s; Psalm SOTO.
Under such noble example Ge-
hazi should have profited, but did not.
He allowed covetousness to enter his
mind. He perceived that General
Naaman regretted that his presents
were not accepted. He pursued and
told the general that the prophet had
concluded that. while he did not de-
sire any OF the gifts for imself. he
might use some OF these for his SER
wants and that he would accept the
gifts for them. The ruse was sue
cessful. The servant was recognized
as one seen at Elisha's place. The
goods we're joyfully given to him. He
secreted them until the prophet called
him. and told him all about the mat
ter and pronounced his punishment
leprosy.
So It will be in the coming age.
Disohedience will meet with swift
punishment. OF the judges of that
time il is written that they will not
judge with the hearing Of the ear
nor with the sight Of the eye, but will
judge righteously. 11:3. 4.
Elisha's Capture Attempted.
II was probably after General Naa-
mans death that the Syrian king
warred against Israel To his sur
prise his every move was checkmated
Thus his endeavors came to naught
He looked for a traitor In his own
household or for some explanation
Then II was told him by one OF his
servants, "The Prophet Elisha is in
Israel and makes known to their
king all thy counsels. even those OF
thy bed-chamber" Apparently the
knowledge of Jehovah and Elisha had
spread from General Naaman to the
kings household
Intent upon conquest, the kins
sought to capture Elisha He sent
spies 10 find where the prophet dwelt
and located him at the little city OF
Dothan. Thereupon he sent a good
sized force. quite sufficient TO sur
round the city and make It impossi-
BILE for Elisha to escape
In the morning early, Elisha's ser
want looked forth and beheld the enc
my on every side, barring every way
OF escape Terrified he said. "Alas
my master! how shall We do?"
