Our lesson represents this divi-
sion Of the kingdoms az 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. It is worth while, however,
to note that this writer In ancient
Israel justified revolt In the mar
ton and set upon II the seal Of
divine authority.
Divinity Of Right
There Is no such thing - divlRei
right except the divinity OF right
No formal prestige or power, no

that Is inherently wrong.
There Is a tendency In America
today to attach to law that claim
OF divine right that formerly In:
older communities was attached
to kings. No true citizen will;
the Importance OF the

IA FTER the glory of Solomon
"a and the building of the
temple comes the ignominy OF
Jeroboam's folly oceasioning re-
volt in Israel and the division or
the kingdom.
There is much to cause re1ec-
ton in what is written in the
record and in all that one can
read between the lines. In the
first place we are reminded that
apparently all that was associated
with the glory of Solomon's reign
and the building of the temple
was not in harmony with the true
glory of God.
When Solomon died, however,
the smolderingf dissatisfaction OF
the people came to a head and
they Immediately demanded that
their burdens should be lightened,
Jeroboam, who succeeded Solo
mon, consulted two groups OF peo-
pie as to what answer he should
give these who besought'h him con-
corning the nature of his rule.
D The old men whom he consulted
advised him to accede to the de-
mands of the people and to estab-
lish his rule in good will by doing
all that he could for the allev1a-
ton of 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 the 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, I will chastise you
with scorpions"
Tyranny Its Own Poison
The result was such as one
VOID anticipate. All tyrannies
carry within them the seeds of
their downfall. Sooner or later
tn ~ bring their inevitable con-
iuences.
The people -evOlted against
Jeroboam, though %wo tribes con-
loyal to the ,Davidic House
and tradition. The ten tribes set
up a separate kingdom with Reno
boam as their king. This king
dom was known as the Northern
or the Kingdom of
whereas the other king
iom was known as the Southern
or the Kingdom Of
Judah. {

The General Grant Tree
BY I. T. MAxEY
q NNNNAS
WNU Service

THE General Grant is the only tree
in America to have a national
park named for it. The General Grant
National park was created for the
sole purpose of preserving this grand
old patriarch.
This mastodonic sequoia is 264 feet
high, over 100 feet in circumference,
estimated to be over 1000 years old
and contains approximately 100000
feet of lumber. It's park covers about
$500 acres on the western slope of
the Sierra Nevada mountains in Cali
fornia ts
John Muir, the naturalist, lived
among the sequoias. He penned this
beautiful word picture about them:
mo description can give any adj
equate idea of their singular majesty,
much less of their beauty. Only in
youth does it show like other conifers
a heavenward yearning, keenly aspir-
ing with a long, quick-growing top
Indeed the whole tree for the first
century or two, or until 100 to 100
feet high, is arrowhead in form, and,
compared with the solemn rigidity OF
age, is as sensitive to the wind as a
squirrel tail. The lower branches are
gradually dropped as it grows older
and the upper ones thinned out till
comparatively few are left. These,
however are developed to great size,
divide again and again, and terminate
in well-rounded masses of leafy
branchIets, while the head becomes
dome-shaped. Then poised in fullness
of structure and beauty, stern and
solemn in mien, it glows with eager
enthusiastic life, quiyering to the top
.sof every branch and far-reaching root,
calm as a granite dome, the first to
feel the touch of the rosy beams Of the
morning, the last to bid the sun good
night

T. A. Riordan told the members Of
the state press club at the convention
banquet Of the wierd experience among
lsthe Hopi Indians at Oraibi of Mr.
/ Murphy, here several years ago allot-
ing Indian lands for the government
Murphy came away from the re-
servation convinced that for sleight OF
hand, prestigitation, necromancy, OF
whatever designation it would come
under, the Hopis had Houdini, Thurs
ton and all the others backed off the
boards.
They took Murphy into a kiva,
There several Hopis were dancing to
a slow chant around heap of Goals
glowing in the center. Eventually
they took one of their number, tied
his knees under his chin and his arms
behind him, sat him on the heap Of
Goals and placed tight over and all
around him metal cover shaped
something like a wash-tub.
They danced 20 minutes more, re-
moved the metal cover, and there was
the Indian burned to a crisp. They
tore the remains apart, gnawed the
flesh from the bones and threw the
bones back on the fire.
All this time Murphy, trembling
and sick with dread, expected his
turn to come next.
Next the bunch with Murphy in the
center climbed the ladder out of the
kiva and walked to the precipitous
edge of the mesa. There was sheer
drop off the edge of several hundred
feet. They seized one of their num-
Der and hurled him over the edge, and
Murphy heard and saw the body roll
ing down the talus several hundred
feet below.
Again the Indians danced, Murphy,
the unfortunate spectator, feeling
even worse than he had in the kiva.
AS the dance neared an end, the
man who had been hurled off the cliff
came up trail over the edge and
Joined them. He was free of injuries
or marks of his experience. They
started back toward the kiva and be-
fore they got there Murphy discovered
that the Indian who had been cooked
and eaten was back with them, whole
and well.
