THE INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON.
Third Quarter. Lesson XlIl. September 25th, 1904.
REVIEW.
This part of the Bible is pre-eminently a
cross-section of human life. For this rea-
son, although very old, itis peculiarly up
to date, and has an application to current
affairs. Not of Elijah alone, but of each
character here introduced, St. James
might have said, ‘‘He was a man of like
pature with us.”’ Strength and weakness
both are exemplified. The whole gamut
of human passions is run.
denouement of various courses of conduct
is faithfully depicted. We are taught by
example in this instance, and itis a pro-
verb, example is better than precept.
This is a crude and hasty judgement which
relegates these incidents to the category of
mere Old Testament story—and to a far-
away land. They show human life, its
motives, fair and foul; its sofferings and
successes and possibilities. Elijah and
Obadiah, Ahab and Jezebel, and the rest
are alive to-day,and will reappear in every
age, They are human types, and as such
are ‘‘the chief study of mankind.”

pitates the division of the kingdom.

were never to be reunited. The Upper
Kingdom, the kingdon of Israel, was com-
posed of ten tribes. It survived three
centuries and had twice the territory and
population of the southern kingdom, and
most of the prophets and historic sites. It
ended in the Assvraian captivity. The
kingdom of Judah, composed of the tribes
of Judah and Benjamin had the temple,
the priesthood, and Isaiah among the
prophets. Tt was interiupted by the
Babylonian captivity, but survived until
A.D 70
Jeroboam, the first king of Israel, was a
man of splendid genius. His specialty was
military architecture. Over against the
dreary incompetence of Rehohoam the
practical and forceful spirit of Jeroboam
appears to best advantage. The moment
he took up the scepter he hegan the forsi-
fication of the key cities, and well earned
the title of ‘‘fortress builder of Israel.”
Bus in spite of noble qualities the key to
Jeroboam’s character is found in the some-
what odious word, ‘'policy.”” He but-
tressed his throne and perpetuated his
dynasty by confirming tne separation of
the two kingdoms. He accomplished this
by separating the nations religiously as
well as politically. Heset up symbols of
‘religion at the most sacred shiines with-
in his own territory, and excused his sub-
jects from their religious pilgrimages to
Jerusalen. In the place of the Levites,
who had all deserted to Judah, he created
a new and popular priesthood, in which
all sections and classes were represented.
As a piece of statecraft this is to be com-
mended, but if the supernatural elements
of Hehrew history are admitted, then
Jeroboam was at fault in throwing himeelf
dead against the fundamental principles
of the Mosaic law and ritual

Velocity augmented. A few decades and

the accepted idea of a prophet is too me-
i chanical. We have heen accustomed to

A verse in St. Jame's Epistle turnsa
strong light upon the prophetic office, and
corrects our misapprehension, ‘‘Elijah was
a man of like nature as we are.” In and
out of his special function, he was a per-
| fectly normal character. Over in Tishbe
{of Gilead he contemplated the disgrace
and impending ruin of his country. His
heart was stirred with patriotic feelings.
Do not take Elijah out of the category o

cumstances. In his distress he communed

! drought and famine bring them to repen-
| tance? He believesso. He prays that it
; may vot iain. Can he aspire to be Jeho-
| yah's ambassador to the court of Ahab?
If so, he places himself unreservedly at
the disposal of the Almighty. So, of his
own will, with use of his own judgement,
i in normal manner he becomes Israel's
reformer.
For sheer courage Eligah is unsurpassed.

He was commanded to go into the teeth of

of his kingship had been discounted by

al will and judgment are practically sup- |
Elijah’s opposition. He bad been humili-
ated in the eyes of his subjects and neigh-
boring monarchs. His wife, inflamed
with religious zeal, goaded him on to re-
venge . Every circumstance, personal,
domestic and national, conspired to make
him the implacahle foe of the prophet wha
had brought this withering woe upon the
nation. Under circumstances like these
the peremptory command ' came, ‘Go,
show thyself to Ahab?’ Without iemon-
strance or hesitation, taking his very life
in his hand, the prophet started. The
annals of war, exploration, or rescue do
not contain aw iustance which surpasses
this in cool and dauntless courage.
The lessons of Carmel are as clear-cut as
the sky-line of the mountain itself. The
commentary seemed to come in advance
of the text in this instance. A thousand
years before St. Paul wrote the words ‘‘an
idol isa nonenity in the world,” this
scene illustrated and proved it. Not for
six hours on the mountain had Baal heen
appealed to, but probably for the whole
three years of the famine. Yet not a
whiper came in response.
answered the prophet’s prayer at once.
The next we see of Elijah heis not riding
the crest of a popular reformation—its
idolize heto—but ignominiously stranded
upon the shore, where the receding tide
has left him. The picture may not be as
pleasing and exhilarating, but it may be
quite as profitable, or even more so, than
the other. How to deport one’s self in
defeat; how to make defeat serviceable in
the evolution of character—that is the
prime lesson for the universal human
heart. And that lesson God teaches us in
His dealings with His servant in the
wilderness and in Mount Horeb.
The splendid scenic parable of Sinai clear-
ed up Elijah’s difficulties. By means of
it he caught again the clue of Providence.
He never again dropped the thread until
it led him to the chariot of fire. The
parable was for him personally. He was
to be like it. In his case roar was to sub-
side into whisper. After the cataclysms of
his career, there was to be a period of bliss-
ful communion. Again the parable had
meaning for the national life. Storm and
fire stand for the initial means of reforma-
tion. They made the nation susceptible
to tbe still small voice of justice and trutk,
which breathed through the prophets who
succeeded. To the few isolated events of
Elijah’s career one was to be added which
should surpass them all, even in the quali-
ty of scenic effect. But any attempt as
minute description of Elisah’s translation
leads to exaggerated rhetoric. Human
| language can not depict the scene. The
| Lord’s minister on this occasion, as on so
| many others, was a flaming fire.
Amos, to whose book attention is drawn
in the closing lesson of the quarter, is the
peer of any in the college of the prophets.

near the edge of the great desert. He was
untrained in the schools. Itis the surprise
of the critics that from such an unlikely
source such an elaborate and exalted work
should come. Amos has been compared
to Dante. His prophecy bas been describ-
ed as a thunder-storm rolling over all the
surrounding kingdoms, touching Judab,
and finally settling down upon Israel.

$30,000 Fire at Ramey.
The hustling little town of Ramey, up
the Moshannon branch, Tuesday suffered
the severest conflagiation in she history of
the place. The fire started from a Kitchen
stove about 3 o’clook in the afternoon, and
on aceonnt of the scarcity of water and no
organized company to fight the flames, and
the fact that it had gained much headway
before being discovered, the fire spread
rapidl¢, and before help could ‘come from
neighboring towns, had soon wrought seri-
ness portion of the town. The buildings
destroyed, together with most of the con-
tents, were as follows: Joseph Dore’s
Mountain Summit hotel, H. E. Wagner's
big general stores, residence and barn, the
drug stores of W. L. Rhoads and Mrs. H,
P. Blandy, the postoffice, the Lutheran
church, Solomon MecCully’s residence and
a dwelling occupied by W. B. Forsythe,
including the railroad oil house. The loss
will reach about $30,000, with a very light
insurance.
World’s Sanday Schools.
The report issued by W. J. Semelroth,
chief secretary for the world’s fourth Sun-
day school convention, held at Jerusalem
in April, shows a total of 260,905 Pro-
testant Sabbath schools, 2,414,757 teach-
ers, and 23,442,998 scholars in Europe,
Asia, Africa, North and South America
and islands. The United States leads with
139,817 Sunday schools, 1,149,807 teach-
ers, and 11,493,591 scholars. England and
Wales come next, with a total membership
of little more than half this namber, while
Greece, the lowest on the list, has only
fous schools, seven teachers and 180 ech-
olars.
