Elisha Helps the Needy. II Kings
AHA, for Sunday, Aug. 5:
Elijah was succeeded by Elisha,
the founder of "The Sons of Proph-
ets'' who performed ten miracles,
supplying real needs and also iden-
tifying himself as a prophet or
God. Two of Elishas miracles are
recorded in this lesson.
v. /. "Now there cried certain
woman of the wives of the sons of
the prophets unto Elisha, saying
Thy servant, my husband, is dead;
and thou knowest that the servant
did fear Jehovah and the creditor
is come to take to him my two chill
dren as bondmen." Here is widow
in great distress. The law of that
time allowed slavery as punish
ment for debt. The creditable thing
about this woman is that without
complaining of her lot she turned
with faith to God and the man of
God, Elisha; it was also to her
credit that she had such good past
record
w. "And Elijah said unto her,
What shall do for thee? Tell me
what hast thou in thy house? And
she said, Thy handmade hath not
anything in the house save pot of
OIL" Too often we think we have
nothing when we possess some
small means, small talent which
if put under the direction of God
will render untold service.
v. 8. '"Then he said, &C, borrow
thee vessels abroad of all thy
neighbors, even empty vessels; bor-
row not a few The number OF
our vessels is the measure of our
faith. 1t is the fervent, expectant
nravar that ic affectrral

V. 4. "And thou shalt go in, and
shut the door upon thee and thy
sons, and pour out into all those
vessels; and thou shalt set aside
that which is full" 1t is best that
those in poverty needing help be
given something to do rather than
receive direct relief. All members
of a family need to cooperate in the
home program if the highest well
fare of all is to be attained.

companying her or doing anything
she might have considered reason.

any questions. Too many of us dc
too much talking and fail to do al
our duty as God has revealed it tc
us.
V. 6. "And it came to pass when

The woman's faith was honored and
the flow ceased not until all the ves-
sells that she borrowed or had faith
to borrow were full to the brim.
Even so God gives grace and glory
according to the capacity of the re-
ceiver.
V. Z. "Then she came and told
the man of God, And he said, Go
sell the oil and pay thy debt and
live thou and thy children of the

our present needs, but it cares for
our future. Providence looks
ahead. If we trust in God, there is
nothing in all the years before us
that should cause fear.

fromBaal-shalisha, and brought the
man of God bread Of the first fruits,

Youthful Thumber Here

Sunday, boy, giving the name
of Kenneth Mcclure, of Columbus,
who gave his age as Is, but who
from his appearance was much
younger, came to the home of his
sister, Clara Smith. wife of "Pete"
Smith, east of town. Finding them
not at home, he remained over
night at neighbor's. Monday,
Floyd Davis, lock tender, saw the
lad and asked him where he was 60
ing, and he replied he was on his
way to Columbus. Sheriff Adrean
was notified and had the boy in his
office, questioning him for some
time, the sheriff thinking he
might have run away from home.
His story was that his father and
mother did not live together; that
his mother who lived in Columbus
had gone to Chicago for a few days
and had sent the boy here to his
sisters. His story seemed go
straightforward, and he stuck SO
strictly to the one story, that he
was permitted to continue on his
way.
The boy had no money and was
poorly dressed but when Sheriff
Adrean wanted to get him some
thing to eat before he started from
here, he refused the offer, stating
he had had one meal that day, and
that they never ate but two meals
day at their home, and he wanted
to get started He said his grand
mother resided in Columbus; that
he knew her address, and would
find her home. He seemed to be
thoroughly familiar with Columbus.
