THE INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON.
Fourth Quarter. Lesson [V. 2 Kings v, 1-14
October 23th, 1904,
ELISHA AND NAAMAN
Happy the government which has at its
disposal a commander of skill, experience,
and integrity. He may repay his country
in a single hour the expense of his
support in all the piping years of peace.
Three thousand years ago there was such
an officer in the employ of the Syrian
Empire. He was the incarnation of bon-
homie, his very name signifying ‘‘good
fellow.”” He was chief prop of the throne,
and very rich. But there are four words
which heavily discount the situation, ‘‘He
was a leper.’”’
A little slave girl acts well her part in
this stirring scene. She might have felt
herself excused by her sex and servitude,
but she bad carried her religion with her
into her new and forced environment. She
was alert and intelligent. She knew her
master’s malady apd the deadliness of it.
Her memory was stored with all the
| miracles of mercy the prophet had been
i working in Samaria. She steadfastly and
| joyously believed her master could be
{ included in the charmed circle of Divine
! healing. She skillfully and at the earliest
possible moment dropped the seed of hope
in the heart where it would likely take
quickest and deepest root. She said to her
mistress, ‘‘Would God my lord were with
| the prophet that is in Samaria, then he
would recover him of his leprosy.”
The king acted quickly on bebalf of the
| commander-in-chief of his army. Self-inter-
est, if not humanity prompted him.
"|
El
YOUR
Naaman was not yet incapacitated for sol-
diery duties, and for half a generation the
king bad suoccessfully defied the whole
power of the Assyrian Empire through bis
clear brain and brave heart. But King
Benbadad did not rise to a true conception
of the prophet’s character or function. He
seemed to think him a court magician like
his own, subject to the order of a king. So
the letter was addressed to Jehoram rather
than to Elisha. Great treasures were also
carried, as if a cure could be bought by
them.
“Sinking times are praying times.”’
When Jehoram was in adversity hie resorted
to the prophet gladly. but now that be is
riding the cress of the wave, he had actu-
ally forgotten the very existence of the pro-
phet. He thought he read besween the lines
of the king’s letter a pretext for war. He
was in abject horror and alarm, and gave
the Oriental eign of it. Elisha humbled
the king at the same time that he relieved
his fears by his message, ‘‘Let him come
to me, and he shall know that there isa
prophet in Israel.’ There was the dignity
of conscious power.
Any one who imagines that Elisha was
grumpy and surly toward Naaman: misses
the spirit of this incident. The leper
brought his old heathen ideas with him to
the prophet’s very door. He had to be dis-
possessed of them. The prophet wanted
not merely tocare him, but to convert him.
Naaman thought Elisha would come to him
like a Syrian necromancer, take a ceremon-
ious attitude, repeat some formula of
incantation and wave his hand in solemn
gesture. Instead of this, the prophet
gave a brand-new receipt for leprosy. All
Naaman’s money and show went for
naught, for the meanest Syrian slave could
have met the terms
prophet.
to be learned. The cure was to be without
money or price, but by the power of Jeho-
vah. So the man who had come with gifts
and pomp, according to heathen ideas, to
induce the prophet to work the cure by
some subtle charm or vecromancy, must
be emptied of his crude notions and bhum-
bly submit to a ceremony which was
patently inoperative of itself. He must ac-
cept his cleansing as a gift. He must ex-
express his faith in au act of obedieuce.
Naaman’s greatest victory was his victory
over himself, His pride, his stubbornness,
his heathen faith—he slew them all and
buried them along with his leprons in-
crustations, deep in the waters of Jordan.
THE TEACHER'S LANTERN.
Private war, freebootery on land. piracy
on sea is at an end forever. That is one
mark of the progress of civilization. Such
wars as that in which the little maid of
Israel was taken are no longer tolerated.

hard lot. She showed a cheerful and help-
ful disposition. Her contribution was
caught up and woven into the providence
of the ages, which is to make God known
to man.
* * * *
Help often comes from unexpected quar-
ters. It was not the first nor the last time
when a word of wisdom was on the lip of a
slave. And when misfortune is severe no
advice is too contemptible.
Naaman’s contemplated gift was proba-
bly not far short of $50,000, vot including
the ten changes of raiment, which were
probably of finest texture,shot with threads
of gold and eilver, and sewn with pearls
and other gems. The reason Elisha re-
prescribed by the
And that was the very lesson !
fused these gifts was that he was unwilling
to put himself on the plane of heathen
magi. He would have Naaman know also
that Jehovah only bad helped him, and
that bis gifts and gratitude must go to
Jehovah alone.
* *
‘‘Kaiser’s beard’’ came to be known as
the term expressing a fictitious cause of
war. A water bucket was once casus belli
between two Italian cities. No wonder
Jehoram thought Benhadad sought a quar-
rel with him.
* * * * *®
No wonder Naaman admired the rivers
of his country. Abana means golden: flow-
ing, and is said to shine like an emerald in
the morning and like a sapphire in the
evening. Is makes Damascus an oasis.
Jordan, on the other band, was a muddy
stream, but the very inferiority of the
stream was to show that the healing was
not by the water at all.
* * * * *®
“A mighty man—but.’”’ That *‘but’’ is
the wolf-note’’ shat destroys the harmony.
The meanest Syrian scullion would not
have exchanged caticles with Naaman.
*
* * *
* * * *
It is to Naaman’s everlasting honor that
he returned to give thanks. He is brother
to the Samaritan among the ten lepers of
Jesus’ time.
* * * * *
The incident is a parable of sin and salva-
tion. Sin is a morbid condition of the
moral nature resultant upon an evil choice.
It can only be corrected when the will is
enlightened, strengthened, and disposed to
make the good choice.
* » * * *
There can be no adequate and true sociol-
ogy which ignores this condition. Some
sociologists, like the king of Israel, have
forgoiten there is a Prophet, who is at the
same time a Saviour.
* * * *
There is a current preference of the
streams of education and culture to the
river of salvation.
Look at the Moon.
A clear moon indicates frost.
A dull-looking moon means rain.
A single halo around tbe moon indicates
a storm.
If the moon looks high cold weather may
be expected.
The new moon on her back always indi-
cates wet weather.
It the moon looks low down warm
weather may be expeoted.
If the moon be bright and clear when
three days old, fine weather is promised.
It the moon changes with the wind in
the east, then shall we have bad weather.
When the moon is visible in the day-
time, then may we look forward to cool
days.
When the points of the crescent of the
new moon are very clearly visible, frost
may be looked for.
If the new moon appears with its points
upward, then the month will be dry ; but
shonld the points be downward, a good
deal of rain must be expected during the
three weeks.

estate booms are called ‘land improvement’
companies.’’ :
“Simple enough. Their promoters are
determined to make the land improve their
fortunes, that’s all.”’

The Forests of Iceland.
One wonld bhardly-expect the subject of
the forestry of Iceland to call for much
serious attention, but a lengthy investiga-
tion of the trees of that country has recent-
ly been made by no less a dissinguished
person than Dr. C. V. Prytz. Professor of
Forestry at Copenbagen. He says that
the prevailing notion that Iceland has a
single tiee only is a fallacy, and thas there
is quite a pretentious growth of trees on
the land, the soil not being uosuited for
the growth. The tree growth of the coun-
try has suffered from injudiious cutting,
he says, and makes recommendations for
the reforestration of the lands and offers
suggestions about the planting of birches.
The latter, here, spring up naturally, and
it is thought that by sowing these in
places where the snow lies deep that long
immunity from destruction by sheep
might be gained ; as it appears to be only
in winter, when grassis not to be had,
that these animals devour the birch trees.
Show Stockings in Court.
Mis. Emily Richards and Mrs. Lizzie
Armstrong, young women of Columbus,
Ga., quarreled ahout the ownership of a
dozen pairs of stockings and went to law
over it. Mrs. Richards said a washerwom-
an stole the hosiery from her and sold the
articles to Mrs. Armstrong. Judge Ray,
after each of the litigants had described the
personal property, said he could not decide
until be had seen the stockings, whereupon
Mrs. Armstrong furnished the evidence re-
quired. It was duplicated by Mrs. Rich-
ards, who claimed that the two pairs
matched. The display was so unusual that
his honor was thrown off his balance for a
moment. Then he dismissed the case, say-
ing he had no doubt many women in the
city wore similar articles.
