Israel. Though Ahab had raised a tem-
ple to Baal and tht ugh Jezebel had
gatlicrea uremia her au army of false
prophet;, and though the people were
willing to hate it tio, the Goa of Is-
rael had in misery° a num trained and
willing to go forth to proclaim tde
sovereiguty to that crooned end per-
verse nation, Never was reformation
more called for, and never were eltp.,
ernatural works more necessary. Great
Miracles were- necessary because or
great and general aPostasy.. Tile 'all',
pearance of such a catemplon as Ell -
jab, armed with high .cretleetials and
wielding great power, marked a Oriels
in the history of God's ttneient church,
A. great struggle was impending. The
very existence of the church was at
stake, Elijah was summened to the
court to .declare God's judgmeut
against Israel', Drought was one of
the Punishments: declared by the law
if Israel forsook Goa. Elijah went dir-
ectly to Ahab, who could avert the cal-
amity by his repentance. lelijah's mes-
sage threatened a terrible plague, long
and protracted suffering, a great na-
tional calamity, This appalling wee -
sage voiced the wrath of God. The
material, elements were worshipped by
the heathen and at this: time by Israel,
while the God who made them was
forgotten. rt was meet that men who
practically denied the living Cod
should be practically reminded .of
their dependence upon him. It was
well that those who held Baal to be
lord of nature, should be left to dis-
cover his impotence. Elijah trusted in
the Wisdom of God and obeyed His
command. He recognized himsele to
be God's representative and as such
manifested utmost fiaelity and loy-
alty. He spoke under inspiration.
Looking upon the scene, we eecognize
the value. a one noble witness in the
midst of public corruption and decay,
and the grandeur, as well as the ne-
ceesity, of a distinct personal profes-
sion of godliness The issue was not
a, combat, between Elijah and Ahab.
It was right against wrong, faithful-
ness against treachery,. purity against
corruption.

sis. Elijah was in the right attitude
at preparedness for Ms work. Ile had
placed banselt absolutely and directly
under the guidance of God. Strict,
implicit and instant obedieace charac-
terized his life. He went forth ihto the
busy, wicked :wend to the =ices and
dangeroes work of it prophet, He ant-
ed promptly, faitbfuly and with cour-
age, lie then followed the word of
the Lord and went ;nto hiding and
silence to be prepared foe, his future

throw or idolatry and the vIntlicatioa

The infinite Father knew his ser-

the moat unexpected and seemingly
impossible conveyance and as surpris-
ing to Elijah as his presence had been
to Ahab. The brook dried up only to
give place to greater marvels. Elijah
was then Lent to what seemed to be
the most aangerons of all places, the
territmy of Jezebel's father, and to
one who was an object tar charity, a
widow needing help. Elijah was to
find a refuge and welcome. The wi-
dow was to receive temporal support
and spiritual blessing. God honored
the widow with his command to feed
his prophet. He saw that she would
believe on him if only she had a
oromise to authorize her faith, She
was given 0, sherp test of faith and
trust. She was to peeform a genoron's
net toward a stranger, a pious net to-
ward a servant of Jehovah. She had
to make a etterifice and trust to a
promise whiell seemed least likely of
fulfilment. She gave her only meal to
the prophet and proved God's sustain-

more than was neoessary to produce

The word of the Lords -God gave dir-

how. We know that the prophet un-
derstood them. 3. Eastward -From

agency in bringing about the drought,

should conceal himself.. By the brook
Cherith- Many scholars fix the loca-
tion of this stream east of the Jordan
front the expreesion, `before Jordan,"
which, they say, has that signification.
The brook flowed into the Jordan, but
whether from the mixt or the west- is
uncertain. Elijah was in hiding from
Ahab, and it would seem that he
would•be less likely to be found if he
should go to some point east of the
Jordan, than if he remained nearer
Samaria; but tradition locates Cherith
as a wady, or ravine, extending from
the hills of Judea eastward toward
Jericho. The walls of the ravine at
the point shown as Elijah's hiding -
place are almost perpendicular and
very high, 4. Drink of the brook -e
Thiswas to be his water supply. I
have commanded the ravens -Mirth
has beet said against the idea that
unclean birds brought food to the pro-
phet, and attempts have been made to
substitute the terms, "merchants,"
"Arabians" or "Orebites" for ravens,
but there is no reason why we should
not accept the literal meaning of the
text, 5. He went and did -His act
shows faith in God and obedience to
His command. 6. Ravans brought him
bread and flesh -As the feeding of
Elijah during this period was miracu-
lous, it is needless to conjecture as to
the source from which the rattans proe
cured the supply, Morning. ,evening; -
Two substantial eaeals a day sufficed

bably from six months to a year that

Prophet had believed God, and had
been receiving food just as it Was
needed. One bas said, "From hand to
mouth is a comfortable way to live If
it be from the hated of God to the
month of God's child." He was not
surprised to receive further directions
front the Lord. 9. get thee to Zarep-

CAMPAIGN PLAN COMPLETE.
Preparations for alt exteusive cam-
paign. against Turkey are known to
have been completed. military
authorities, however, are maintaining
the strictest secrecy regarding the ob-
jective of their plans. *While the
date on which the operations will be-.
gin is as little known as the objective,
it is generally supposed that active
warfare against Turkey will commence
as soon as Premier Selandra returns
from tee Austrian front, where he
went to consult with Xing Victor
Emmanuel yesterday.
It has been known here for a fort-
uight that an Italian war against Tur-
key was ittevitable, but the ceneoe-
ship, which has constantly become
stricter, has not permitted any tore -
casts to leave the country. The re-
strictions placed on the foreign corre-
spondents eaavge been somewhat less-
ened to -day, and it may now be said
that the primary cause of Italy's ac-
tion was long-standing defiance of
this Government by Turkey in Tripoli.
It is definitely charged by the Gov.
element that Turkish military activ-
jties in Tripoli have constantly ins
creased during recent months until
only one conclusion may be drawn,
namely, that Turkey was seeking a
war with Italy. The rebels in Libya
have been led by Turkish military of-
ficers and ever since the departure
from Tripoli of Enver Bey and Aziz
Bey, at the demand of Italy, more
than 1e0 Turkish officers have res
rnained in the country Wag their ut-
most to inette the rebels to war.
Last April, it is charged, Enver
Pasha, the Turkish Minister of War,
sent 35 natives of Tripoli, who had
been -trained in it. military school at
Constantinople, to Libya, and more
recently the rebels under Turkish
leadership have captured Euronte.

declaration of war against
Turkey is expected to have an almost
immediate effect on the Balkan
States, whieh are still eebatiug whiclt
side they will take in the conflict.
The relations between. Italy and Rola
Mania for years have been very inta
mate :and the opinion is expreased
here that it is probable. especially in
view of the tlireattming attitude of
the Germaine powers toward Rou-
mania, because of her refusal to allow
ammunition to pass through her ter-
ritory, that now Italy has broken re-
lations with Turkey, Roumania will
join the quadruple entente.
-Bulgaria is still waiting for the re-
els of Serbia to the suely,estions ot
the Entente Ministers that Serbia

Greece Is likely to declare her future

diplomatic circles here that it is
significant that M. Venizelos, who al-
ways In been friendly te the En-
tente, has decided to take charge, in
addition to the Garman Premiership,
et the office of Minieter a Foreign Af-
fairs.
Turkey continued throughout not to
give Any heed whatever to the Italian
protests, and as it further aggrevatioh
prohibited, as is well known, the de-
parture of Italian citizens from Asia
Minor. It wa,s because of this pro-
hibition that Italy en August 1st sent
an ultimatum to Turkey, demanding
the release of all Italian. citizens iu
Turkish possessions, and stipulated
that the 'coal authorities at Beirout,
Smyrna, Alessandretta, Haifa and Jaf•
fa should facilitate their departure, .
Two days later, on August 5, Tur-
key acceded to the Italian demands.
This was two days before the Italian
ultimatum would have expired. The
Italian Government straightway sent
Italian steamships to Rhodes to take
on Italian citizens from Asia Minor,
and the American Consul was en-
trusted with the protection of Italian
interests. On August, 9, however, it
was reported that Turkey had refused
to permit Italian citizens to leave the
country, and ,had instructed the Mili-
tary- authorities. in ports in Asia
Minor to see to it that ho departures
were made.
This action on the part of Turkey
was the last of many detiances of
Italian rights, and led directly to the
declaration of war.
