Monday afternoon the Doctor, on his

two of the lepers were seriously in. It
turns out that they bad procured mer-
curial ointment for the declared pie -

8. & LESSON FOR AUGUST dib, 1034
Lessen Tapia--Blfsba Heys *8. Need.
Lessee Paseege--11 Kings 4:1-7, 42-44.
Golden Text--Mattbew td: 441.
This chapter has been described
containing what may be termed Eli -
she's private miracles, The first of
thews relates to the multiplication of
the widow's oil. The husband of this
woman is brought before ns as one
who was a faithful worshipper of Je-
bovah, and on that fact the widow
seems to base bar appeal. This 1s in
some respects wrong, and In other
respects not unnatural. It was wrong
1n the sense that no one has a right
to expect to be regarded as pilon on
any hereditary account. The woman
:abutted i -hu banda. estate bad
it was, but she did not Inherit neces-
sarily her husband's good cbarscter.
The .fact, however, that she referred
to his religious character showed she
expected some good to come her way
on that account. It appears that the
law of debt was one of remarkable se-
verity, alike In the Athenian and Ro-
man law asst also in the law of Moses.
In the cane represented by the widow
the creditor claims, now that the fath-
er is dead, tbe services of the sons, as
Ike was by law entltkd to do.
The way In whkh Ellsba addresses
hlmselt to the circumstances of the
case Is very slgnlfcant of the method
of Jesus Christ. Ellsha asked the
woman, "What Weill I do for thee?"
Jesus often asked the same question of
those who came to Him for bealing
or relief—"What wilt thou that I shall
do unto thee?" No doubt the prophet
knew what the widow wanted, yet a
good purpose was to be gained la
causing bar to state her case in her
own words. Ellsha asked another
question which Jesus Christ aleo put
he day atter Ler arrival when th sen on some occasions. Mahe said, •'
from her horse. We sent L baste for J e, whirt hast thou In the boos
a nurse at beadgn-trters. - Ail that J Christ asked the before Iledisciplesow
can be done day by day is done and it theybad g I� nultlt proceed

It is God's plan to start with what we
have. He will first take everything
t la in our hand, and then proceed
to His own work. Thus we become
fellow -worker with God.
Now E1aha proceeds to his work
"Go, !borrow thee vessels abroad or all
tby neighbors, even empty vessels."
Rat this was not all he saki; he added,
"Borrow not a few?' Then comes an
instruction wbkb compares strongly
with what Jesus Christ Himself
stated with regard to our action In
prayer. Tbe woman was commanded
to shut the door upon herself, and
upon her soon, and to pour oil into
ll_the vessels. "And it came to pass,
when the resseis we're full, that she
said unto her son, 'Bring Inc yet s
vessel: And he said unto bar, 'There
is not a vessel more! And oil
stayed.' It was the vessels that were
exhausted, not the hand of God that
was emptied. A notable lesson this,
that It la never Cod who fails but
niways roan who comes to the end of
Ids capacity.
Another miracle 1s recorded in
verses 42-44.
Good fortune now seems to bare be-
fallen Enable Pions Israclltee were
now transferring to the prophets what,.
had once been given to the Levitical
priests; hence they brought to Edda
"bread of the fleet fruits, twenty
loaves of barley, and full ears of corn
in the husk thereof." Surely this wee
a new thing to Jellaba, and a great
change from the mode of life which
he had been latterly leading. He he
gan life under very comfortable rir-
cumstanccw, probably being one of the
richest men who, up to that time, had
been called Into the service of the
1
Lend. He bad, however, had his time
of trial and suffering, bot now the sun
seemed t0 be shining upon him, and
plenty seemed to be at his disposal.
What did he do with 81s good for-
tune? It is remarkable that he did not
selfishly appropriate It. bot at once
said, "Give unto the people, that they
may eat." Here again 1s a foreshadow-
ing of the spirit and method of the
Son of God. Whatever be had he held
tor the Deneet of others. The servant
said, "What, should I set this before
a hundred men?" That is to say,
hod small 1t 1s Tor them ; 11 1s more
than enough for thee, but how far
would it go In satisfying the hanger
of a hundred men? Elijah has been
oonaidered to . be • type of John the
Baptlat, and in many respects Ababa
bas been seen to discover traits of
character not unwortby of being re-
garded a typical of Jesus Christ; he
was genial in lite, he was constantly
going about in the cities and villages;
Isis career was remarkable for the do-
mestic miracles which he warted;
surely In all these respects he re-
sembles, more than any other prophet
resembled, Him of wboin Moses and
the prophets did write!—(From The
Peoples Bible).
