Dictator's Demands.

The relations between Israel and
Syria had been that of a perpetual seud
for years.
Shalmaneser was across the Euphra-
tes threatening an invasion of the ter
ritory west Of the river and 1t was ex-
pedient that the weaker tribes unite in
an offensive and defensive alliance
against the threatened oppression.
Israel was the uncertain nation and
the others believed that their safety
aud security demanded her subJuga-
fion.
They had penetrated the enemies
country until their forces surrounded
Samaria. the capital city of Israel. The
Greek version suggests that Benhadad' 8
first demand upon Ahab was for the
surrender OF his silver and gold and
that Israels king consented to this de-
rIand, which meant the acceptance OF
Eenhadad. as dictator. and Joining the
coIfederacy against Shalmanezer.
But when Ahab received the second
dsfand that he should submit to the
spoliation and ravishing of the city
he summoned the elders and repre-
sentatives of the people to decide upon
the course of action.
In this we can see the germs of oui

Americans are apt to forget what we

Drunkard's Defeat.

Benhadad's contempt Of Jehovah was
the cause both times he invaded Israel
for his defeat. The gates of heaven
are closed to the drunkard because the
close relation of intemperance to all
forms Of iniquity. Its insidious in
huence had been felt in the life of all
nations. where the intemperance in
them incompetent. inefficient and inso-
lent.
The demands Of King Alcohol are not
alone for money. Like Benhadad, their
insolent demands increase until we see
that, allied with all forms of sin, suf-
fering and shame. the liquor forces
seek to dictate the politics of the ma
tion. We cannot count the cost to
America OF money, manhood and morals
TO meet the increasing demands of the
drunkard's army.
Some of our politicians, like Ahab.
have favored the method of compro-
mise, but already throughout the world
the ranks of humanity are rising
against the force that has proven 1T

Benhadad is not the only general
