PLEASANT FIELDS OF HOLY WRIT Save for my daily range Among the pleasant fields of Holy Writ. I might despair ~Tennyson THE INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON. Fourth Quarter. Lesson 111. 2 Kings iv, 25-37 October 16th, 1904, ELISHA AND THE SHUNAMITE. This lovely idyl shines in the trouble stream of public life. We stumble upon the comparatively small domestic incident in the midst of wars and kingscrafs. Hos- pitality, contentment, mother-love, be- reavement, grief, faith and importunity,— all are enshrined in this story. It casts its light upon the character of she prophet and upon the human life of centuries ago. Shanem, of the tribe of Issachar, and liv- ing betweer Samaria and Carmel, was in the heart of the wheat belt of Palestine, and on the highway of travel. Here, on his own estate, lived an independent farm- er, whose wife was characterized by thrift, piety and contentment. She recognized Elisha as a servant of the Lord, and, as such, extended her hospitality to him. The room she made for him on the wall has | passed into ‘@ proverb, ‘‘The prophet’s chamber.”” This hospitality was marked by a thoughttul consideration of the needs of a professional man. The location of his apartment on the roof, approached by an outside staircase, made it possible for the prophet to come and go at will, without observation on the part of the family. He could have as much privacy as if he was in his own home. Another jewel set in the filigree of this story is Contentment. When the prophet asked his hostess, in appreciation of her generosity, if he should name her husband for preferment at court or in the army, her EEEEEXEES&K bined. answer was, ‘‘I dwell among mine own people.” She might have said : “My crown is in my heart, not on my head, Not decked with diamonds and Indian stones. Nor to be seen; my crown is called content, A crown it is that seldom kings enjoy.” Another jewel shines out in the dark hour of her bereavement—Faith. She believed that the son given to her under such unas- ual conditions, and ‘taken from her in such an inexplicable manner, conld be restored to her. She would, undoubtedly, in due time, bave shown the grace of resignation, but it is to her credit that she did not too quickly say, ‘‘The Lord hath taken away.”’ Not until she had made strenuous efforts at recovery was she ready to say, submissive- ly, “Blessed be the name of the Lord.” The prophet, from his eyrie on Mount Carmel, saw the Shunamite approaching. The unusual hour, toward evening, and not a Sabbath or new moon, as well as the speed with which she traveled, excited his apprehension. Bat he failed not in court- esy. His servant was dispatched with sal- utations. The emptiness of the average greeting is here illastrated. It was a mere passing of the word of day. The woman’s business was with the prophet, not with his servant. Tt is said that if in the East you asked after a person whom you know to be ill, invariably the reply will be, “Well, thank God,”” when the very next sentence is to inform you that he is dying. A moment later the bereaved woman was clasping the feet of the man of God. Ge- hazi, self-appointed guardian of his Mas- ter’s dignity, cold and obtuse, was for thrusting the woman aside. Sympatl y is penetrative, and Elisha had ‘A tear for pity and a hand, Open as day for melting charity.” He said to his officions servant, ‘‘Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her, and the Lord bath hid it from me.”” . The outcome of the incident is familiar. The prochet’s expedient of sending bis staff to be laid on the face of the dead child; the mother’s importunity, expressing itself in the asseveration, ‘‘As the Lord liveth and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee;”’ the failure of the expedient of his siaff; the night journey to Shunem; the restoration of the child; the announcement, ‘‘Take up thy son,” brief, pathetic, beautiful. It has been aptly said, ‘‘Suceess is never volu- bie.” THE TEACHER'S LANTERN. The world was surprised and delighted when Layard uncovered the bass-reliefs which depict scenes of an extinct civiliza- tion. But all the while we had in the Bible aunthentic pictures which vivify the common life of thirty centuries ago. * * * * * This little domestic incident is enshrined in a writing which hears the dignified and ambitious title of the ‘Brook of the Kings.’ * * * * The hospitality which is inspired and graced by piety will not fail of its reward. Need of more religion in the social fune- tions of our day. #* #® # The spiritual analogy of this incidens, familiar to the church since the days of Origen. Staff of formal religion can no$ awaken the dead soul, though it were a gold and jeweled crosier. Only the breath of the Divine Spirit can gnicken into life. * # * * * * Origen spiritualizes the incident as fol- lows: ‘‘The dead boy: ‘‘The race fallen under death on account of sin.

It is the conventional duty of a servant to magnify the dignity of his master. *¥ % = * ® Elisha’s motive in sending Gebazi has heen variously interpreted, viz. : To prove that miracle-working was not connected in any magical way with his person or staff, but that miracles conid only be wrought by genuine union with Divine power, ef- fected hy faith and prayer; did it to dis- count his staff, his servant, and all visible means. Some say that Gebazi failed be- cause of his personal unworthiness, others that the prophet withdrew his power from him while he was onthe way to do a8 he had been directed. The most natur- al [interpretation is to say ‘that Elisha erred: in judgment when he sent Gebazi. * * * * * The Shunammite’s affirmation of con- tentmens, ‘‘I dwell among mine own peo- ple,’’ clashes with the vulgar slang phrase, ‘‘Get there,” which, being interpreted, meane sacrifice peace, domestic comfort, friends, conscience, and God for money, honors, grandeur, and parade. ——George Ade, the author and play- wright, while on a recent visit to President Roosevelt, entertained the childrem with rhymes.

Java, the land of the famous and much exaggerated Death valley, has many wonderful curiosities, the prin- cipal one being the kali mujah, or death plant. It grows only on the sterile soils of the volcanic regions of Java and the adjoining islands and is even there reckoned as a curiosity on account of its extreme scarcity. It grows from two and a half to three feet in height, with long, slender stems, well protected by stout thorns nearly an inch in length. The ground leaves are .of a delicate, satinlike smoothness, heart shaped, emerald green on one side and blood red, streaked and veined with light buff, on the other. The flowers of this death dealing beauty are even more beautiful than the plant itself, being very large and cup shaped and of a color almost deathly in its whiteness. THe name of the plant is from a characteristic of these splendid flowers, which, beauti- ful though they are, continually drip with a deadly poison. The poison, which is distilled in.the bottom of the cup shaped blossom, has the sickening odor of chloroform in- tensified a dozen fold, it being power- ful enough to overcome a full grown man in a few seconds, even when in- haled. in open air. The perfume, if such a pungent odor can properly be 80 called, produces insensibility in the form of convulsions, distorting the face, especially the mouth and eyes, into a horrid, crazy looking grin. Re- covery from the effects of inhaling this odor is said to be very slow. A LovE LETTER.— Would not interest you if you’re looking for a guaranteed | Salve for Sores, Burns or Piles.
