THE INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON.
Third Quarter. Lesson I. Kings Xl, 12-20
Sunday, July 3rd, 1904.
THE KINGDOM DIVIDED.
Solomon left a splendid empire. His rule
extended far beyond the boundry of Pales-
tine and covered a population of 6,000,000
and a territory of 60,000 square miles. He
also bad alliances with Egypt and Tyre.
His revenue was $20,000,000 per annum.
The current proverb was that he made ced-
ar as plentiful as sycamore, and gold and
silver as stones. But the upbuilder of the
empire was also the overthrower of it. His
own hand sowed the seed of dissolution.
He disregarded that natural and persistent
cleavage between Judah and Ephraim
which David bad bridged by his statesman-
ship. He taxed the northern tribes exces-
sively and lavished the revenue on Jerusa-
lem, forgetting entirely time-honored She-
chem. All the tokens of the impending
national calamity, greatest in its history,
were apparent before Solomon’s death, yet
he seems to have taken no steps to avert
that calamity. His life, too, gave the lie
to all his well turned ethical phrases—and
; all the exemplary power incident to high
' office was lost,
| A crisis hour in the history of the He-
{ brew commonwealth bad surely come when
| Solomon died. Tribal jealousies, popular
: discontent, threatened invasion, created a
state of affairs calling loudly for a man of
! ability, conrage and patriotism. It is said
' that Solomon had a thousand wives, but

bling out of the luxurious environment of

ri d Rehoboam. There is a pitiful irony
in his very name, which signifies ‘enlarger
of the people.’’ It is an added stain on the
character of Solomon that he did not train
his son for statecraft,or if he was incapable
did not find another to reign in his stead.
Rehoboam went up to Shechem to meet
a body resembling in its composition and
powers the States-General of Fiance, before
which Louis XVI appeared. The historic
scenes, sundered by three thousand years,
bave some points in common. The Hebrew
National Assembly was resolved that the
new king should plight his faith as a con-
stitutional movarch. Had he consented re-
hellion would have been nipped in the bud.
There was a three days’ truce. It was the
pause before a great catastrophe which is
always solemn. Daring this time Rehobo-
am was taking counsel chiefly of his fellows,
the gilded youths of the empire. Then
came the king’s recklessly insolent answer
to his subject on the very edge of revolt, in
which he threatened to add to his father’s
yoke and exchange his whips for scorpions.
The war cry arose at once, ‘‘To your tents,
O Israel!’’ which has been aptly called ‘‘the
Hebrew Marseillaise.”’ Even David’s sa-
cred name had lost its spell as the people
cried, ‘‘See to thine own house David!”’
With the inveterasy of a prince of blun-
derers Rehoboam sent a tax-gatherer to pla-
cate tax-resisters. As sight of ‘‘Adoram,
who was over the tribute,’’ the first overt
act was committed and the first blood of
the revolution shed. Happily it proved
the only blood.
Hebrew history parted into two streams
that day, never to be united. Ten tribes,
carrying with them two-thirds of the popu-
lation and territory, flowed off into the
channel of the kingdom of Israel to continue
for three centuries, until swallowed up in
the Assyrian captivity. The tribes of Ju-
dah and the half tribe of Benjamin, and la-
ter the tribe of Levi, formed the other
stream of Hebrew life, flowing on for four
hundred years until ingulfed in the Baby-
lonian captivity,
THE TEACHER'S LANTERN.
A new literature is opened to us. The
Books of Kings and Chronicles. They are
of great antiquity, dating back in round
numbers, 2,500 years. They are made up
of docnments still older—oflicial annals and
state records. Theig divisions are arhitrary
and unhappy. For example, the Books of
Kings were originally undivided, and bad
one compiler. The same is true of the
Book of Chronicles, in which Ezra and Ne-
hemiah were included. The Hebrew name
of the compilation is almost equivalent to
our word diary. Some think the writer to
have been Ezra
* * * * *
These six ancient books are in point of
fact hut two books. They have a noble
purpose; They are written for the exiles
about to be restored to Jerusalem. They
are intended to quicken the national spirit,
to outline the principles of peace and pros-
perity.
* * * * *
It is worthy of notice in passing that
Chronicles names more sources of material
than any other book in the Bible. For ex-
ample, it cites Samuel and Kings, and oth-
er documents now lost; chronicles of the
Kings, last words of David; monographs
by Nathan, Samuel, Gad, Abijah, Iddo,
Jeha and Isaiah.
* * * * *
Shechem was a *‘city of refuge.”” But it
certainly did not prove such to Rehobo-
am.
TO MAKE A
* * Td * *
‘The historical associations of the city
were important and sacred. The names of
Abraham, Jacob, Joseph and Joshua were
linked to it.
%® * * * *
On the dull background of Rehoboam’s
inanity, Jereboam’s forceful character
stands in lively contrast.
* * * * *
Parentage counts for much. Reholivam’s
mother was an idolatrous princess and his
father a sensualist.
* * * * *
The vascillating incompetence of Reho-
boam is strikingly illustrated by the readi-
ness with which he substitutes the office of
a mediator for his insolent ultimatum.
* * * * *
There are certain idiomatic phrases, the
meaning of which must be sought. For ex-
ample, ‘‘What portion have we in David?’
The reference is to the dynasty as represent-
ed in Rehoboam. The language is in strik-
ing contrast to the saying ‘‘We have ten
parts in the king.”” 2 Sam. xix, 43. “To
your tents!’’” The reference is to the wil-
derness life when the tribes camped in fix-
ed relation to each other. It finds its mod-
ern analogy in the military term ‘‘assem-
bly.”
* * * *® *
The points of analogy and contrast he-
| tween the two kingdoms now formed, may
| be followed with advantage. Israel surviv-
| ed three centuries, had twice the territory
and population of Judah. Most of the his-
toric sites, and most of the prophets. It
ended in the Assyrian captivity. Judah
had the temple, the priesthocd, and Isaiah
among the prophets. It was interrupted
by the Babylonian captivity, but sarvived
until A. D. 70.
Music and Character.
Herbert Spencer considers that the taste
for music, which is largely emotional, is in
so full a sense a test of cumulative character
that it is inherited with cumulative in-
tensity by successive generations. This
naturally leads us on to the conclusion
that races are more intimately effected by
ite charms than individuoals.
To take a particular instance, we can hut
notice that the Germans, who, with few
exceptions, are musical to their finger tips,
are in consequence notable for habitual
cheerfulness and for other moral qualities
that give tone to their domestic life.
We may notice, on the other band, that
a love of music does not necessarily go with
artistic sense or strength of character.
The Russians are most musical, but they
have not, as a rule, any marked apprecia-
tion of art, while the Japanese, whose del-
icate instinct for art is proverbial, are hut
little influenced by music. Nero’s devo-
tion to his fiddle and Napoleon’s indiffer-
ence to music are also instances that there
is no general rule on this point.
Stood All Night to Get Land.
One hundred and ten weary seekers for
land, four of them women, who stood all
night by the doors of the United States
land office at Cass Lake, Minn, filed claims
for government lands within the Chippewa
reservation on Wednesday. The first man
to file was Daniel Caldwell, who got 160
acres 16 miles southeast of the village of
North Come. The entire number of fil-
ings was disposed of on Wednesday.
All told, 248, 743 acres of land of the
former Chippewa Indian reservation were
opened on Wednesday.

Putting Brains In Costs Much.
Bishop Cyrus D. Foss was talking about
the world’s custom of spending more on
armies and navies than on education. *‘I
once heard this custom epigrammatically
condemned by an Irish priest,’’ said Bishop
Foss. There was under discussion a bill
to appropriate $36,000,000 for battleships
and $12,000,000 for schools. The priest
spoke against the bill, and his speech end-
ed in this way: ‘‘Friends consider this pro-
posal. Its absurdity is evident. For
education, $12,000,000; for warfare,
$36,000, 000. That is to say. $12,000,000
for putting brains in and $36.000,000 for
blowing them out.
