More than a million pounds of to-
bacco was on the floors of Hender-
son warehouses late today for the
resumption of sales next Tuesday,
it was estimated by Fred M. Allen,
Jr., sales supervisor. He said, how
ever, that many farmers and ware
housefen had expressed the opinion
today that "this is the commonest
break Of tobacco in the history Of the
market"
Common tips and kindred types
of leaf that were stripped out during
the tobacco holiday constituted the
bulk of the offerings, it was said.
It was explained further, however,
that better tobacco is now coming
onto the floors for Wednesdays
sales, and the average on this should
be more than So per hundred pounds
better than the opening day prices.
Although slightly over a million
pounds Of leaf was on the floors,
more was constantly arriving, and

his schemes concerned Israel. lust
as the exiled leaders from Palestine
and Syria today make Cairo the
headquarters of their conspiring. So
Jeroboam was ready for the news
of Solomon's death and for the re-
volt of the people. His haste had
handicapped him, but he still had
his opportunity.
When the 10 tribes of Northern
Israel revolted from Judah and
Rehoboam, Jeroboam was called
back from Egypt to be their king.
Now his opportunity had come to
full flower. What a chance he had
to establish justice and righteous
ness in the new nation!
Office affects men strangely. Most
of those who. as aspirants. had been
full of idealism and fair promises
become practical" politicians, stoop-
ing to low compromises to consoli-
date their position. So it was with
Jeroboam He set about ways of
making sure of his job. His major
device was to wean his people away
from their accustomed worship. To
that end he set up golden idols at
Dan and Bethel, saying, Behold thy
gods, o Israel"
A Nations Greatest Blunder.
Washington pastors complain that
members of the Congress who in
their home constituencies are faith
full churchmen neglect the church
when they get to the Capital. They
become engrossed in Government
business and practical poli.ics" and
lose sight of the fundamental forces
in the Nations life. They are like
Jeroboam. whose prudence" and
shrewdness overdid themselves.
The new king thought he could
play politics with religion. The God
of his fathers. who had called him
to his great opportunity, was spurned
and rejected.
In this Jeroboam was a prede-
cessor of Hitler and Stain, who
have tried to eXtirpate the free
worship of the living God. This
was the sin of sins committed by
the new monarch. And it caused
him to be forever tagged with the
title "Jeroboam, who caused Israel
to sin" OF course, his infdelity
was futile in the long run, as will
be that of Germany and Russia.
No nation can go back on God and
prosper.
That is why the greatest practical
problem before the United States
and Canada is to revive and in
tensify loyalty to God. We are do
ing most for sound patriotism when
we are making religion vital and
paramount in the lives of the peo-
pie. Every faithful attendant upon
the services OF church. every Sum-
day school teacher. every worker in
any branch of religious activity, is
constructively serving the Nation.
Jeroboam's great opportunity
turned into disappointment and
disaster because he was not big
enough to keep first things first.
Like a chorus, there rises daily from
the lips of the mature and the aged.
III only They see the oppor-
tunities they have missed. Oppor-
tunlty has often been pictured as a
man with a forelock, but bald be-
hind. He must be seized upon his
approach; there is no hold on him
as ne passes. Literally, opportunity
is from the Latin lob" and "porta''-
before the door. A good life test for
youth is. Behold, I have set before

government. Rulers are unWlse who.
like Solomon, ignore the mutterings
Of the common people.
Two conditions are essential for
successful national revolution: The
discomfort of majority of the peo-
pie and the appearance of an ade-
quate leader. Russia had the latter
in Lenin. Israel's man of the hour
was Jeroboam, labor leader in
temple construction, whose abilities
had even attracted the attention of
the King.
Jeroboam's cali came by way of
the prophet Abijah, who, by dra-
matically tearing his new cloak into
II pieces and giving 10 into Jero-
boam's keeping, symbolized the pre-
diction that Jeroboam would become
ruler over the 10 tribes of Israel.
Like all of Gods promises to man,
this was conditional 1t was stipu-
lated that the new king should walk
in Gods ways and keep His COM
mandments, as Solomon had failed
to do. There is never any danger
of Gods not keeping His side of a
bargain, if man keeps his. When a
pact is violated by either party it
becomes null and void. Students of
prophecy should bear this truth in
mind.
A Precipitate Patriot.
Sure of his own strength and
alive to the peoples misery, Jero-
boam could not wait for his oppor-
tunity to ripen. Like most of us
moderns, he was il too great a
hurry. We are like little children,
who want what they want when
they want it. So Solomon discovered
the plot, and Jeroboam had to flee
for his life to Egypt. Everybody
who would do a great work must
enter into the patience of God. How
much distress follows the plucking
of unripe fruit!
Personality reveals itself in all
conditions, and down in Egypt Jero-
boam became so outstanding that
Pharaoh Shishad gave him his
daughter as wife Thus he became
brother-in-law of King Solomon.
