whips, but / will chastize you with
scorpions. This sounds brave but
it was really vanity and pride. A
man with little soul was trying to
be great. 1t never pays to use in
sulting language. He listened to
the voice of the young gang who
were very unreliable Watch we'll
the source of your advice
V. Is. "Wherefore the king
hearkened not unto the people; for
the cause was from the Lord, that
he might perform his saying,
which the Lord spake by Ahijah,
the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son
if Nebat." God did not inspire Re-
hoboam's proud and despotic reply
but used it for the accomplishment
of his purpose, the partition Of the
kingdom. God makes the wrath of
man to praise him. The revolution
in the Hebrew state was brought
about in the providence of God as a
judgment on the nation for the sins
of Solomon.
Y. Is. $50 when all Israel saw
that the king hearkened not unto
them, the people answered the king,
saying, What portion have we in
David? Neither have we Inheritance
in the son OF Jesse; to your tents, o
Israel; now see to thine house. Dav-
id. So Israel departed unto their
tents" Here was an emphatic way
of asserting their independence of
the Davidic kings. Since the king
cared nothing for him they would
have nothing to do with him; they
would fight for liberty and freedom.
Rehoboam went to Jerusalem and
reigned over Judah with the tribe
of Benjamin.
V. 20. "And it came to pass when
all Israel head Jeroboam was come
again, that they sent and called him
unto the congregation, and made
him king over all Israel" At first
Jeroboam had been called by the
leading men of the ten northern
tribes that he might be their ad
visor and spokesman. Now when
their request was rejected they
chose Jeroboam as
their king. He was a good civic
leader but was weak morally and be-
ing jealous in commanding the
of Israel elsewhere than at
Jerusalem, introduced calf worship.
Strength of character is fundamen-
tai in the ruler and in the ruled.

Another of King Solomon's ports
has been discovered by archeaolog-
lists who are making excavations at
the northern end of the Gulf OF
Aquabah, which is the eastern arm
of the Red Sea. 1t was probably
the site of Ezion-Geber, a flourish
ing fishing, trade and manufactur-
ing center of King Solomon's day.
There King Solomon, tradition says,
with the aid of Hiram, King of
Tyre, built a fleet of ships. Among
the industries of the place, were
ship building and the manufacture
of copper implements. Another con-
firmation of the Biblical record.

Rehoboam, Man Who Made
Foolish Choice, | Kings IL :1-30, fol
Sunday, July 16:
v. L. "And Rehoboam went tc
Shechem; for all Israel were come
to Shechem to make him king" BY
demand of a vast number the cere-
monial crowning of Rehoboam took
place in the important city of She
chem. Numbers always carry a
great influence.
VS.. 2, 8. "And it came to pass,
when Jeroboam the son of Nebat
who was in Egypt, heard of it that
they sent and called him. And Jero-
boam and all the congregation Of
Israel came, and spake unto Reno
boam." Jeroboam was from the
tribe of Ephraim and leader in
the controversy over which tribe
should be the greater, Ephraim or
Judah. A well-pianned effort was
being made to have good hearing.
That nation is governed best where
there is a chance for the voice of its
people.
V. 4. "Thy fathers made our
yoke grievous; now therefore make
thou the grievous service of thy
father. and his heavy yoke which he
put upon us, lighter, and we will
serve thee" Solomons great build
ing projects severely taxed the peo-
pie and the time had come when a
change was necessary. Production
is fundamental in good government
and when a great number are with
out employment or employed in un-
productive projects, it naturally fol-
lows that hardships are laid on the
producers.
v. 5. "And he said unto them.
Depart ye for three days, then come
again to me. And the people de-
parted" There is danger when
duty is delayed. Here was a plain
case that needed no time for consid-
alton. The fact that there was no
outburst from the people spoke we'll
of their character.
VS.. IL, 13. $50 Jeroboam and
all the people came to Rehoboam
the third day as the king had ap-
pointed And the king answered
the people roughly, and forsook the
old mems counsel that they gave
him. He lost his opportunity when
he ignored the wisdom of men OF
experience and wisdom; he was OBJ
sessed with his own importance and
lost sight of the good he might do
by benig good king.
V. IA. "And he spake to them
after the counsel of the young men,
saying, My father made your yoke
heavy, and I will add to your yoke;
my father also chastised you with

the TACT that hotels are supplied
with Bible and large percentage
OF homes have them, it is necessary
for the library to keep 129 copies
IN the English language alone to

library also has copies in rs other
languages. In addition to the 129
copies for circulation, 95 copies are

Chamberlain Says England Ready to
Go Beyond Consultation in Europe

LONDON, March %. (UP)-Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain in
dicated today that Great Britain S
plan for a four power "stop Hitler

against any future aggression in
Europe.
Although the prime minister did
not say that military alliance was
proposed, he declared that Brit
aims proposals to France, Poland
and Soviet Russia go beyond plans
for mere consultation in event OF
aggression.
Answering questions in the
house of commons, Chamberlain re-
fused to give details of the consul
tationS still in progress with Euro
pean powers as a result OF Nazi
expansion in Central Europe and
the threat Of further dislocation OF
frontiers BY the armies of Adolf
Hitler.
1t had been understood that the
British plan called for a declara-
ton by the four powers that they
would consult on action to be taken
in event of further aggression. Po-
land however, refused to join such
a declaration aimed at Hitler un-
