THE INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON.
Fourth Quarter. Lesson XI. 2 Kings xvii, 6-18
December 11, 1904.
CAPTIVITY OF THE TEN TRIBES
It is she surprise of the historian—this
page full of circumstanial detail written
at the very dawn of authentic history.
The walls of Rome were only three de-
cades old when this record was made, yet
its truthfulness has had verification in
the recently discovered inscription at
Khorsabad, now in the Museum of Berlin,
in which Sargon says: = “‘I besieged, took,
and occupied the city of Samaria, and
carried into captivity 27,280 of its in-
| habitants. I changed the former govern-
{ ment of the country, and placed over it
lieutenants of my own.”
The fate of the Ten Tribes has always
been the playground of the imagination.
Fancy has followed them to impenetrable
localities and affirmed their final restora-
tion to their native land. Great ingenuity
! and learning has been shown in framing
theories and defending them. All start
with the assumption that the tribes pre-
served their identity, and were only modi-
fied in racial characteristics by climatic
and other conditions. How widely diver”
gent the conclusions of these theorists are,
isapparent from the fact that some find
the missing Israelites aruong the Afghabs,
the Tartars, the Nestorians, the Jews of
Malabar, the North American Indians, and
most singular of all, the modern English.
Thus one theory kills another, and all
conspire to teach us that the ‘‘lost tribes’
are lost. .
The question of cause is more practical
shan that of locality. ‘‘Why?’’ rather
than ‘‘Whither?’’ The question is an-
swered in thisScripture. It hasbeen aptly
called the nation’s epitaph. written hy
the finger of the Lord. It is also an
autopsy upon the nation’s corpse to find
the disease of which it died. The inquest
is so thorough-going as to leave nothing
of fact wanting. The post-mortem report
is in the clearest-cut terms possible.
The children of Israel ‘‘cloaked their
evil practices with the pretense that they
were honoring Jehovah.” But they soon
threw away the cloak. They built high
places, set up images and pillars, and
burnt incense like the heathen, for-getting
that for this very reason the heathen had
been carried away. They were deaf to
the Lord’s entreaties hy the voice of his
phrophets. They were hardened in their
disobedience and unbelief. They went to
the utmost limit of heathenish supeissition
and cruelty in offering human sacrifices.
The parental instinct was so blunted that |
they burned alive their own children
before Baal.. This brought upon them the
judicial anger of Jehovah. The order for
their national disestablishment was de-
creed in the court of heaven. Sargon,
the Assyri.n, was the unconscious in-
strament carrying into effect the decree of
Jehovah, who holds nations as well as
individuals accountable for their deeds. |
MOSAIC FROM COMMENTARIES. |
Did secretly. Literally, they covered.
*‘They cloaked or covered their idolatry
with pretenses that it was a worship of
Jehovah.”’—Cook. Others, with the LXX
think that the meaning probably is ‘‘they
decked out’’ their worship, employed |
‘ things alien to the simplicity of the Mosaic
ordinances. Gay religions full of pomp
and gold.—Anon. Did secretly: They
covered Jehovah with things which were
| not right—coucealed Him so he could not
: be recognized.—Bahr. Tower—city: In
| every place was some idolatrous rite.—
Clarke. The towers in which watchmen
| were stationed to keep guard over the
! flocks and crops were always in the most
lonely and deserted spots, while fenced
cities implied the presence of many in-
habitants. So the sense appears to be
‘‘in the loneliest as well as in the most
populous places.’” Proverbial Hebrew
phrase, meaning everyvwhere.—Cam. Bih.
Hardened their necks: A metaphor de-
rived from those oxen, who, in spite cf
all efforts to guide them, hold their necks
set in the way they determined to go.—
Pentecost. Did not helieve: The original
of all their sins. They did pot believe
God’s prophets. —Patrick. Testimonies:
His law 1s the testimony for truth and
against iniquity. —Alexander. Left: As
soon as any other objects is set up instead
of Gad, all he values has perished from
man’s worship.—Lumhy. Pass through
fire: This idol was made of brass, and the
head was that of a calf with a crown upon
it. It was made hollow, and a furious fire
was kindled within it. When the arms
were red hot, the vietim was thrown into
them, and was almost immediately burned
to death, while its cries were drowned by
drums,—Rabbin. Lord to anger: Indig-
nation that makes God hate sin, punish it,
and burn against it.—Pentecost. God’s
anger ix not merely personal resentment
because of a personal injury. It is prc-
found ethical batred of sin becanse i$ is sin.
—Neely. Ons of sight: The Holy Land,
where Jehovah has his dwelling.— Bahr.
THE TEACHER'S LANTERN.
The fall of an empire is always an event
of absorbing interest. Itisa black back-
ground, against which the principles which
make for and against national perpetuity
can he well defined.
* * * * *
The fall of Israel was the inevitable con-
clusion of its course of unrighteousness.
* * * * *
All that could be doue was to save Israe!
from its fate. No vation ever had more
faithful or fearless reformers. Amos and
Hosea were last in the succession: but, like
their predecessors, unsuccessful.
* * * * *
Israel had a striking objeot-lesson in the
career of the =outhern kingdom. Its re-
ligiouns revival was attended by material
prosperity. and the good King Hezekiab
joined the prophets in the attempt to call
the people back to their allegiance to God.
It is an historical sarcasm that the last
king of Israel should wear the name of the
earliest of the bero Judges, for Hoshea and.
Joshua are one and the same. An historic
al parallel is also found in Romulus
Augustus last of Roman emperors, who
wore the donble name of the founder of
the city and the founder of the empire.
# * * * *
And Hoshea was far from being the
meanest of the nineteen kings of Israel.
Just as Louis XVI was innocent as com-
pared with his predecessors, yet their evil
i courses had their inveterate dononement in
him.
* * * * *
Jobn Eliot, apostle to the Indians, whose
tercentenary bas just been observed, he-
lieved the American Indiacs to be de-
scendants of the loss tribes.
——*'“The rewards of science are but
scant,’’ said the man with the high fore-
head.
‘‘Yes.”” auswered the man with the
square jaw. ‘‘Nobody is going to pay you
as much for picking up a rock and telling
you what geological period it belongs to
as he will for directing him to a market
that will take it up as building material.”’
A strang fish is on exhibition at Seattle,
Wash. Itissix feet long and is half ani-

of its body.
Doing One’s Duty.
Let us do our duty in our shop or our
kitchen, the market, the street, the of-
fice, the school, the home, just as faith-
fully as if we stood in the front rank
of some great battle and we knew that
victory for mankind depended on our
bravery, strength and skill. When we
do that the humblest of us will be serv-
ing in that great army which achieves
the welfare of the world.—Theodore
Parker.
Handy to Have Around.
“You don’t mind my leaving so many
of these bills, do you?’ said the col~
lector, with a touch of sarcasm.
“No. indeed,” replied the woman in
the door. *We rather like it. The chil-
dren do their examples on the backs of

No Need to Speak to Him.
“Now, dear,” said Mr. Polkley, who:
had just been accepted, “when shall I,
speak to your father?’
“You needn’t bother,” replied the
dear girl. “Pa said he’d speak to you
tomorrow if you didn’t speak to me to-
night.” Philadelphia Ledger.
The Bed.
The bed is a bundle of paradoxes.
We go to it with reluctance, yet we
quit it with regret. We make up our
minds every night to leave it early,
but we make up our bodies every moms
ing to keep it late.—Colton.
His Lawjy.r’s Bill.
Client—This bill of yours is exorbi-
tant. There are several items in it
that I den’t understand at all. Law-
yer—I am perfectly willing to explain
it. The explanation will cost you $10.

A Poor WAY'—It’s a poor way to sit
down to one’s table, with the pains of dye-
pepsia in one’s stomach. The meal is not
enjoyed and may not be retained. There
is a cure for dyspepsia—and we use the
word cure in the strict sense—in Hood's
Sarsaparilla.
It is remarkable what a salutary effect
this medicine has on the stomach and
other digesiive organs. If your are dys-
peptic take this medicine, and take it now
—ip advance of the Christmas dinner.
FigHT WILL BE BITTER.—Those who
will persist in olosing their ears against the
continual recommendation of Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Consumption, will have
a long and bitter fight with their troubles,
if not ended earlier by fatal termination.
Read what T. R. Beall, of Beall, Miss., has
to say : ‘‘Last fall my wife had every
symptom of consumption. She took Dr.
King’s New Discovery after everything
else had failed. Improvement came at
ouce and four bottles entirely cured her.
