Tomorrow's leaders should now be
getting ready.
When Nations Split.
With the international scene
a-quiver because of nations that
have been torn from their founda-
tions by force and folly, we confront
the division of old Israel with new
interest. What If the country had
never been split apart, and had
never gone wandering after false
gods? Would it have continued until
this day? What is the relation of
Zionism to Rehoboam and Jero-
boam? Here we are confronting one
of the sphinxlike "ifs" of history.
Rehoboam's two classes of advis-
ers may be likened to the liberals"
and radicals" who are everywhere
contending today. In his case, how
ever, it was the old men who were
the socially-minded liberals, and
the young men who were the con-
servatives. The latter were reac-
tionary and selfish; the former were
forward-looking and justice-loving
And, of course, the "stand-patters," ;"
arrogant in their consciousness of
power, lost the day and the king
dom, as has usually been the case in
history.
