INTERNATIONAL LESSON,
OCTOBER 24.
Lesson IV.-- Elisha's Heavenly De-
fender„ 2 Kings 6. 8-23. Golden
Text: Psalm 34. 7.
L Plotting Against Elisha
(Verses 14-17).
Verse 8. The king of Syria—Prob-
ably Ben-hadad (see verse 24). Israel
was in grave danger at this time.
Syria was a powerful and determined
foe.
In such and such it place—This ex-
pression is like that of "somewhere"
now seen in so many reports of a bat-
tle after the account thereof has pass-
ed the censor's hands.
9. The man of God sent unto the
king of Israel—Although the kings
were inimical to the prophets, the lat-
ter did not forsake their sovereigns.
The prophets knew that without God's
guidance Israel and her kings could
not survive.
10. Not once nor twice—But several
times. Elisha's advice was always
good. The Syrians claimed it was
based on actual knowledge (see verse
12).
11. Which of us is for the king of
Israel?—The king of Syria had been
frustrated so many times in his plans
that he thought he had a traitor in
his camp.
21. Nay, my lord, 0 king; but
Elisha—The story of Naaman was
known. It was natural for a quick-
witted soldier to remember Elisha's
cure, and to relate this power of the
prophet to the seemingly miraculous
way in which every military move of
the Syrian king was anticipated and
frustrated.
18. Go and see—That is, spy out.
Dothan—Mentioned in the Old Tes-
tament only here and in Gen. 37. 17.
According to tradition, it was only
twelve miles from Samaria, which
shows how far into the country. of
Israel the Syrians had penetrated.
II. The Mountain Full of Horses
(Verses 14-17).
14. Horses, and chariots, and a
great host: and they came by night—
An exceedingly large host to come
after one undefended man. To make
sure, the night time was chosen.
15. How shall we do?—Not a ques-
tion for instructions or advice, but a
cry of despair.
16. They that are with us—The pre-
sent tense is used by the prophet. To
him the angelic protectors were al-
ways apparent.
17. Open his.eyes—Elisha's concern
for the young man was so great that
he was unmindful of the many men
waiting to waylay him.
18. Round About Elisha—"Dothan
stood on an eminence, and so the sum-
mit could be thus encircled, and the
barrier against 'the Syrians appears
,complete.
Tobacco Growing in France.
The cultivation of tobacco in. France
is strictly controlled by the national
Government. Licenses are issued to
communes or districts authorizing the
cultivation of tobacco on a specific
ares. This area is then allotted to
certain growers, and from the plant-
ingto the gathering of the crop every
plant is under the supervision of gov-
ernment officials. As the government
is the sole purchaser of the leaf when
grown, it thus maintains a practical
control over the amount that may be
produced in a given year. No boun-
ties are paid for the growing of to-
bacco, and the price paid is according
to the quality of the leaf grown and
the requirements of the refile.
