THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON.

had given him a large place in the
thought of Israel revealed his egotism,
covetous spirit and unftness to rule by
refusing to eat. sulking upon the couch
and acting as puppet in the hands of
his beautiful wife. who Influenced Ahab
to break the laws and repudiate the
authority of Jehovah. He was like clay
In her hands and the decision he made
at the suggestion of Jezebel brought
doom to the house Of Omri.
The one that breaks Gods laws. un-
less he repents. is doomed. His laws
and principles are not made to be
observed when it pleased us and con-
sidered as q mere scrap OF paper.
Jezebel from her heather training
treated Gods law in that manner and
crime in the name Of religion. A
heather queen through forged letters
summoned the people Of God to as
semble for. q religious feast that
would turn away evil calamities due
to the wrath of Jehovah because OF
up the heroic Naboth was murdered
in the name Of religion. History re-
peats itself in the attitude of the
kaiser and the iniquities which have
been committed in the name of God,
who as some one has recently point
in the Scriptures but Odin. the myth
illogical Teutonic god of force.
While Ahab was busy contemplating
tho prospects of the palaces i'm
provements Elijah appeared upon the
scene to speak the word of destruc-
ton, despair and death for Ahab and
his family. His sin had found him
out. His success had turned into
failure. His blood was licked by the
dogs at tho same spot as Naboth's,
while Jezebers body became tho food
for dogs at the walls of Jezreel.
whatsoever q man soweth that shall
he also reap" This IL one reason for
American confidence of victory over
the Hun. Another Is that the germs
of democracy are found in Gods plan
for His people, which was for the es-
tablishment Of tho Hebrew nation. as
a republic with a written constitu-
ton, approved by all the people, in
which there was representative
government on the principles. of civil
equality God provided for the chosen
people the prophets. who championed
their cause and defended their rights.
God both in His law and gospel has
placed Himself OF the side Of mans
rights.
This lesson is a summons for all
followers Of the Lord Jesus to unite
under His superb leadership for the
OF all forms Of iniquity.
God calls US to battle against the evil
of our own hearts and lives as well
a. in the lives Of our fellowmen.
Victory u assured through the power
and love Of the Master provided We
obey the orders He has given to us.

Elijah stands out in this weeks lesson

President Wilson has SO ably presented
In all his messages, speeches and letters
in reference to the kaiser's violation OF
international law which is binding upon
all nations and individuals because 1t
contains the principles Of human rights
that are the foundation Of peace, prog
ress and prosperity Of all people. Ahab.
the proud and powerful ruler Of Sama-
ria. had won great prestige in war and
desired to enlarge the grounds Of his
summer palace at Jezreel so that 1t
would be in keeping with his regal po-
sition. There was nothing unfair in his
proposition. for it had apparent merit.
The evil is seen in his motive and meth
DDS. which have been repeated in recent
history by the kaiser.
The covetous Ahab was checked by
the courage Of Naboth just as the brave
Beleians checked the kaiser's first ef-
forts in the war by sacrificing their all
for the preservation Of the rights of
man. Back Of every crisis that threat
ems humanity is a spirit OF covetous-
ness, for 1.-THE love of money Is the root
Of all evil" 1t brought sin into the
world. separated Israel into two king
doms, threatened the early church in
Jerusalem and is the motive that caused
both Ahab and the German govern,
ment to sin against the laws Of God
and of nations. Naboth's refusal to
comply with Ahab's program reveals his
loyalty to Jehovah and His laws In ref
erence to estates in the Holy Land. No
consideration could persuade the poor
peasant to dispose Of his ancestral
him in his rights. Naboth understood
the Scriptures that he held his beloved
family homestead Is . trustee and that
he could not sell what belonged to God.
Curbed by the laws Of Jehovah and the
courage Of Naboth. Ahab returned to
his palace displeased ana By his actions

Banker Discloses
Disloyal Acts of
Syrian Merchants
Snyder Tells Credit Men of
International Plot to
Defraud
!gpee,a, p,spa,ch to The Tribune,


CHICAGO. June ia disclosure Of
international interest was made at the
convention of the National Association
of Credit Men here this afternoon
when Freas Brown Snyder, vice-pres
dent of tho First National Bank of
Philadelphia and chairman of the pros
ecution and investigation department
of the association, told of conspiracy
on the part of Syrian merchants in tho
United States to defraud creditors, to
spread the seeds Of disloyalty in Amer
ica, Mexico, Canada and adjacent coun-
into Canada and opium from Canada
into the United States. Mr.. Snyder
said that many of the men had already
been indicted by the Federal govern
ment and were in custody.
Headquarters Of the band are in New
York and in Montreal, Canada. Al
though many merchants have been
mulcted out of thousands of dollars
worth Of merchandise, the most impor-
tant and serious disclosure is that
Syrians in the United States have been
Mexico and Canada with the purpose
of fomenting plets against the govern
ment of the United States.
The convention reached the heights
of great patriotic fervor and was reused
to a pitch of excitement by a stirring
address from Governor Frank C. Low
den of Illinois, Bishop Samuel Fall
lows, of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, brigadier general U. S. A., de-
livered an impressive patriotic invo-
cation, and great enthusiasm was dis
played over the band of the Great
Lakes Naval Training Station.

board of directors of the Irving Ma
tional Bank, New York, and Charles
A. Hinsch, president of the American
Bankers Association, were among the
other speakers
