has set sort of divine authority
upon kings and laws, we may well
regard this representation Of the
revolt against injustice as cody
and worthy thing.
Divinity Of Right
There is no such thing as divine
right except the divinity of right.
No formal prestige or power, no his
toric tradition or claim of authority,
can make a thing right that is in
herently wrong.
Men are slow, even in a democ-
racy, in grasping this simple yet
profound truth which underlies all
true life and government and which
must be constantly recognized and
acted upon if the true liberties and
rights of the people are to be
maintained.
There is tendency in America
today to attach to law that claim
of divine right that formerly in old
er communities was attached to
kings. No true citizen will minirf-
ize the Importance of the law, but
is profound mistake to demand
from people obedience to law simply
because a thing is law.
1t is the rightfulness of law that
ought to be emphasized, with this
fact always in mind, that where the
chosen representatives of a democ-
racy have made laws, that in itself
constitutes certain rightfulness OF
the law until it is repealed, unless
the law is inherently repugnant &c
conscientious convictions of right.
Where such conscientious convic
lions conflict with the law, a case
which will not be very common in
a modern democracy, it is hard to
see how there can be any Other
attitude of the Christian man other
than that of the ancient disciples
who said, 1--WE ought to obey God
rather than men,"
However, there will never be any
fear OF the solidity of institutions OF
good government where men act
only from considerations of honor
and conscience.

people came to head and they inn
mediately demanded that their bur-
dens should be lightened. Jeroboam,
who succeeded Solomon, consulted
two groups of people as to what
answer he should give these who
besought him concerning the nature
ct his rule.
The old men whom he consulted
advised him to accede to the de-
lnands of the people and to estab-
'iSh his rule in good will by doing
all that he could for the allevia-
ton CT their burdens. The young
men, however, advised him to as
sert his kingly authority, in other
words, to be a strong man and not
show any weakness at the begin
ming of his reign by succumbing to
popular demands.
Jeroboam decided to follow the
advice of wthe young men, SO when
the representatives of the people
came to receive his reply, his an
swer was, my father did chastise
you with whips, will chastise you
with scorpions"
Tyranny Its Own Poison
The result was such as one would
anticipate. All tyrannies carry with
in them the seeds of their downfall.
Sooner or later they bring their in
evitable consequences.
The people revolted againstJero-
boam, though two tribes continued
loyal to the Davidic House and ira
dition. The ten tribes set up a sep
arate kingdom with Rehoboam as
their king. This kingdom was known
as the Northern Kingdom, or the
Kingdom of Israel, whereas the 9TH
er kingdom was known as the
Southern Kingdom, or the Kingdom
Of Judah.
Our lesson represents this divi-
sion of the kingdoms as brought
about by Jehovah. We may pos
sibly take such "a statement too
literally just as men have taken
too literally the idea that kings and
governments are ordained of God. II
is worth while, however, to note
that this writer in ancient Israel
justified revolt in the nation and set
upon it the seal of divine authority
Instead of that false and vain
religion that has inculcated obedi-
ence to rulers, regardless of the
worthiness of their rule, and that

After the glory of Solomon and
the building of the temple comes the
ignominy of Jeroboam's folly occa-
sioning revolt in Israel and the divi-
sion of the kingdom.
There is much to Cause reflection
in what is written in the record and
in all that one can read between
the lines. In the first place We arc
reminded that apparently all that
was associated Will the glory CT
Solon1on's reign and the building Of
the temple was not in harmony with
the true glory of God.
Too often even great and beauti-
ful churches have arisen out of eS-
tortion and out Of oppression OF the
people who have lived at their very
doors. Can God take satisfaction
out of expensive houses erected os-
tensibly to his praise when the
things of love and Righteousness are
neglected?
Dissatisfaction Arises
The expressions of Solomon's reign
may not, of course, have been all
associated with his great project of
temple building. There were many
and expensive ways in which Solo
mon revealed the power of his reign.
1t is amazing how much oppression
people will accept without murmur-
ing or at least without rebellion,
though they may murmur consider
ably, as long as there is associated
with the oppression some element OF
prejudice and grandeur.
When Solomon died, however, the
smoldering dissatisfaction of the

The majority of these letters have
never been translated into English.
Many of the items are, however, Of
historic interest. Among them is
a letter written by Verdi to Franz
Hitler in 1884 in which he COM
pares aida" and Don Carlos. f"
Verdi wrote:
you ask me to tell you whether
prefer Aida or Don Carlos
You embarYass me slightly. Fathers
love and prefer clever children SO it
can easily be imagined that my
preference would fall on the more
vital. Nevertheless, must say that
in Don Carlos there are some
phrases, some passages which are
of greater value than those in Aida
and in Aida some are more point
ed and more pardon the world
theatrical. I do not use this word
in the vulgar sense"
n The following note was addressed
to his publisher by the temperament
tai Russian composer, Henri Wien
iswski in 1854:
"Gurkhaus! Gurkhaus! Gurk-

sonata, I will write to the Emperor
Nicholas to send you to siberiall!l!

In 1873, Felix Motif asked Richard
Wagner for the position of copyist
and on Jan. %, the great German
composer replied:
"Inasmuch as I need a very capa-
BILE young musician as my assistant,
I have decided on Anton Seidl, who
has just been offered an unusually
good engagement in Hamburg. 1t
will be necessary for him to study a
good deal in order to play my or
chestral sketches. It will also be
necessary to break him of his born
lazineSS."
Anton Seidl later became one of
the worlds leading conductors. He
was later engaged by the New York
Symphony and was considered one
of the best musicians of the day.
He was % years old at the time the
letter was written.
Louis Spohr. one of the leading
operate composers of the nine
tenth century, wrote to Wagner,
who was then young man:
II am afraid that you expect too
much Of me, for, know very well
that in this field of art a youthful
spirit is of much more importance
than experience and knowledge.
II therefore gave up long ago any
intention of writing another opera
and only the repeated urging of
my musical friends through fifteen
years finally overcame this deter
mination."
The opera which he referred to
was die Kreuzfaliver." which is
now seldom performed.
