Jezebel waa so angry upon hearing teeee things, that she took a meet solemn oath that Elijah should be put to death before another day was over, and sent the prophet a message to this effect. it may have been fear on her part that kept her from send- ing an executioner to take his life at once. '1 he message gave haijah no - lice of conditions and aro.ple time to make Ins escape. Tee message, show- ed that his life was in danger at the hands of this angry and fiendish wo- man, and prudence led him to do his part in securing hie own safety. The record does not show that tne Lord had anything farther for the prophet to do in Jezreel at that time. Ile fled to Beer-sheba in the southern part of the kingdom of Judah. Here he was beyond tho jurisdiction of Ahab. Beer- sheba was nearly one hundred miles south of Jezreel. It was one of the earliest settled places in Canaan. The name which means the well of the oath, was given by Abraham to lie well he dug there; for an oath was taken by Abraham and Abimelech, that the well was the property of the former. Beer-sheba still exists and is inhabited by Mahommedans, who are especially fanatical. A Christian mission is now maintained there. 11, Miraculously fed (vs. 4-8). 4-7. Elijah 'wished to be alone; he there- fore left his servant, who had been with him at Carmel and had accom- panied him thus far on Me journey, and went alone a day's journey into the wilderness. He sat in the shade of a juniper tree, a shrub ten or twelve feet high, on the edge of the desert. The bold prophet had become disheartened. The marvellous dis- play of power on Carmel had not been followed by the widespread reforma- tion he had expected. He was worn and faint from his labors and journey and from hunger. He felt as if he had done all he could. In wishing that he might die he showed human frailty. His grief and weariness in- duced sleep. Twice an angel waken- ed and pointed to food that was in readiness for him. Food and water were miraculously provided for him, as they had been repeatedly before at Cherith and Zarephath. Even if El- ijah had made a mistake in fleeing from Jezebel, his journey was to be turned to good account for him. 8. Meat -Food. Forty days and forty nights -Moses had twice fasted the same length of time, and Jesus also fasted forty days. III. At Horeb (vs. 8-18). 9.

'What doest thou here -The Lord by this question brought a tender reproof to blijals, and Proceeded to give him a deeper revelation of Himself than He had ever before received. 10, Jealous -He had defended the honor of Je- hovah. Foreaken thy covenant, etc. - Three charges are made, -disobed- ience, sacrilege and murder. I city, am left -Elijah was the only one on Carmel to defend the God of Israel, and in his despondency and ignorance he thought he was the only one in the nation loyal to Jehovah. They seek my life -In the prophet's belief the true religion was all but stamped out. 11. Go forth -The Lord was now ready to teach Elijah his much-needed lesson. He would first gain his attention and then give instruction. Wind.... earth- quake -These were but the manifesta- tions of God's power, and Elijah re- cognized them as such. 12. A fire -A constant blaze of lightning. The Lord was not in the fire -He might have spoken by means of the wind or the earthquake or the fire, but He desired to teach Elijah a lesson that could not be presented in that way. Still small voice -With the voice eame the con- viction to the prophet that God was speaking directly to hiM. 13. Wrapped his face in his mantle -An act of re- verence and awe, He waited to hear what the Lord would say further to him, He heard the question recorded In verse 9 repeated, and answered it in the sa.me way. 14. Shalt thou anoint - The Lord thus; disclosed to his ser- vant something of the tuture. 15. Go return -Elijah had traveled three hun- dred miles on foot to receive his or- ders, and must return the entire dis- tance to carry them out, Damascus - The capital of Syria. Anoint -An im- portant commission was given Elijah. "It is the word of the Lord foretelling the agencies by which the wicked house of Ahab shall be destroyed."- eshedon. Elijah anointed Elisha to be a prophet in his stead, but we have no record that he anointed Hazael or Jelin, yet he may have done sits pri- vately. His suecessors performed these offices. 17.

Ensile, became his constant at- tendant, after he had returned to his ^ hem and had made a farewell feast for his people.

II. Revelation. III. Recommission. I. Restoration, Elijah had no time to magnifY himself after bis triumph on Mount Carmel. Jezebel's message to him displayed only detersanned and increased hostility. It was harder to bear than all his previous hardslaps. Not being present on Carmel, Jezebel had received with skeptical scorn the report from Aliab. In a passionate fury she declared her purpose to withstane This was the ap- parent blighting of Elijah's long-eg- neeted hopes, after prayer and. waiting and mightiest effort. It was at that time God suffered him to pass through a meet severe mental conflict It was a spiritual crisis in his life to meet a spiritual necessity. It prevented self - exaltation in the triumphs of God's cause, and prepared Elijah to accept of different methods as God presented them. For the time his depression seemed almost overwhelming. He look- ed for better fruit of his ministry than he could discern. He dwelt in bitter sorrow upon the conditions as he saw them, that •God's covenant had been forsaken, his altars thrown down and hie •prophets slain, That was the darkest hour in the prophet's history, God alone could understand and right- ly judge him. God controlled Elijah's conduct by gentle agencies. His pity was as evident as his knowledge. God's first eare was to give Elijah rest and sleep. His strength had endured a terrible strain on Mount Carmel. 11. Revelation. God's further nie. thod of relief included a manifesta- tion of himself. Elijah rieeaell communication from God. He needed to be corrected it his judernent as t- his ovne tatters and the ca.aseot truth. He needed the divine assur- ence that his labors had accomplished more than lie had supposed, that God had seven thousand witnesses to tile tact, who hed been stringthened bv hie heroism.

'When the still, small voice fell upon his ear, he was smit- ten to the heart and humbled at Jee hoe alt's feet. God's eueetion was adopted to convinee, reprove and hum- ble Elijah. He told Get: ell that pressed upon his heart. The still, small voice weed' only listeniag man could hear, was more divine and mightier than all tine. Elijah had witnessed before. There was a great difference between Cod's power and God's presence. Amid the war of ele- ments tha prophet was unmoved by fear. The still, small voice caused him to cover his face with his swee- tie and bow in humble worship in the recognized presence of God. 111. Recommiesion. God addressed Elijah b3r name. e still had confi- dence in him. He was not cast aside, condemned. God had more work for him to do. Ile wan to be atrengthen- ed and cheered by companionship. Continued isolation was not ne.cessary Though disappointed, Elijah migat live and do good work for Gc,d, not by continuation of Carmel's triumph. but by other means. 'Just as the hurri- cane and the eanheuake nude the. still, email \lace more smpreesive and subdueing so Elijah's minis- try bad done its work thus far.

He wanted the mem- bers to assist in bringing about a great sccial reform in connection with the work in which he is now identi Many Reeolations Vaned at Yes- terday's Meeting., Want Province to Aid Settlers in the North, Toronto utlons were paused at the Ontario Municipal Asso- elation convention yesteraay,, favoring the calling of a conference b Y the Pe - minion Government to diaelles the Un- employment question; endorsing the recommendations made by the pro- vincial commission cm the same mess - tion, that labor bureaue be establish- ed in various centres; the establish. ntent of a provincial telephone *in- tern; approving the system of prison reform introduced by Hon. W, J. Hanna, suggesting the creation of a • municipal department of the Provin- cial Government; the passing of leg- islation providing for tae equitable adjustment of accounts relating to the administration of justice as between cities and counties; requesting more liberal assistance from the Provincial Government towards the construe- tteiorisi. of good roads, and other mat - In addition, a motion was passed at the suggestion of Ald. Lerner, London, requesting the Government to 'eeriously consider the advisabilitY of amending the Colonization Act to permit the rendering of financial as- sistance to desirable agricultural set- tlers with little or no money to take up homestead farm lands in North- ern Ontario. The object being to assist such settlers with seed, food, implements, stock and dwellings Or such other things as they might re- quire during the first year on the land. Whatever °assistance that might be rendered would be in the natpre of a loan, and. be charged against the holding. The repayments to be made on the instalment plan, extending over a number of years. This matter was referred to the executive, with power to act thereon. Chief Engineer Gaby, of the Pro- vincial Hydro Commission, in the unavoidable absence of Sir Adam Beck, gave an address on the Hydro Radial enterprese of the province. He said that within the next few weeks statistics would be completed and re- ports would be ready far presentation to the various municipalities Interest- ed showing the estimated cost for the construction of a network of radial lines throughout the western portion of the Province. Requests for this in- formation had been received from some 300 mualcipalities along 1,600 miles of roads in the districts from Whitby in the east, to Sarnia and Windsor in the west, including the Huron and Niagara peninsula dis- tricts. The estimates to be submit- ted would provide for the highest 'standard of road bed and equipment. Mr. Thomas Bradshaw gave an ad- dress On municipal financing, and urged the 'adoption of the annual in- stalment system of paying Off loans instead of the sinking fund system. He contended the instalment system was more economical, as the money required for the retirement of bonds could be raised by taxes, fled, and Mr. Dingman was caudid enough to suggest that prohibition for Ontario was necessary, but before that came about he desired some sub- stitute .for the preselit bar -room. It was the fifty-seventh annual meeting of the Canadian Press Association, Unfortunately, Mr. W, M. O'Beirne, the President, and Mr. J. M. Imrie, the manager, were unable to be present on account of illness. It was while addressing the daily newspaper section that Mr. Dingman made hie appeal to the press. The members were aware, be said, of the wave of prohibition sentiment abroad all over the country, and in Ontario pretty rapid progress was being made in the direction of prohibition. He would not care to say how much more might be made during the next year, but what he ,considered lacking in the campaign for prohibition was insufficient attention on the part of the press. Again, there was the subject of supplying a substitute for the bar. There was much readiness all over the country to respond with enthusiasm to appeals to higher sen- timent in matters of the kind, but there the work ceased, just where it had only practically begun As a substitute for the bar, he advocated a string of temperance hotels all over the country, and it was toward the provision of such the temperance people ought to make a move. The time had arrived when such a venture would prove a sumps. Meantime, It would improve the morale of the present hotels, and in the end the final solution of the prohibition move- ment. If the people wanted prohibi- tion they were entitled to have it. 'The members of the Press Associa- tion could very largely help to bring about what was very much needed in this country by giving publicity to this proposal, and if the temperance people also took it up it would prove another title to public esteem. The commission felt that it repre- sented the great decent element of the country, and that decent element site on the fence. That same element wanted proper service and things done properly, and did not wish to continue to feel ashamed of the coun- try's hotels. ARE MAKING PROGRESS. Atthe meeting of the general sec- tion of the association, at which Mr. Hal B. Donley, Past president, pre- sided, the several annual reports were submitted and. considered very satisfactory. The membership had increased, new advertising areas had been opened, and in many ways the relations of newspapers and advertis- ing agencies safeguarded. The panic danger at the outbreak of the war was real, but a crusade of optimism launched by the association had long • since brought about a change in public sentinient and all danger had passed.
