was the place to which Rehoboam nro-
eeeded, that he might receive t1i3 'dug -

tribes, rvhich he knew were likely to
hold themselves aloof from him, He
doubtless chose Sheehem because) it was
central for those tribes and wase nlitee
both sacred and histories The patri-
archs had .made the place historic, and
it lay between Mt. Ebal and Mt. Ger-
izim, made sacred by the proclamation
of curses and blessings upon Israel from
the two mountains respectively (T.?ettt.
28. 11-13;• Josh, 8. 3345). Rehoboam had
only to assure all Israel that he would.
relieve them of all unjust burdens and
adopt a policy of righteousness and mer-
ey in government, and he would have
enjoyed prosperity in the kingdom.
When he required three• days toartswcr•,
their request for justiee in government
they had reason to fear that their in-
terests would lie disregarded. Their de-
mands were both reasonable and just. •
1I. Seeking advice (vs. 6-11). 0. Con•
suited-Rehoboam did not care to as-
sume the responsibility of answering; the
people in a matter so important as this
without seeking counsel of others. Old
men -Those Who were old in years and
•experience. Stood before Solomon --Cus-
tom demanded that the officers of the
king should stand while in his presence.
In asking advice of men of wisdom, men
who had been the advisers of his fatly
, Rehoboam took a wise course. 7. If
thou wiltbe a servant -The duty of a
'icing is to have regard for the desires
veld needs of his subjects. He should
serve them by doing for there what will
wake them better and happier. The im-
perioue Rehoboam could scarcely bear
the thought of she 1f.feing his own sei-
'lish purposes for the welfare of his pim-
ple. Good word, -Bind words that`
would indicate he king's affection fur
his subjects and his interest in their
well-beign. Thy servants for ever --
A little effort on the king's part, with
what. to hint might :neem like humilia-
tion, would have conciliated the oppos-
ing factions, and• Secured to him a king-
dom at once united and stable.
8. Forsook the counsel of the old
• men -Their -advice was far from pleas-
ing to his imperious disposition. He
could not endure to appear as yielding
to his subjects. Young men -Probably

had been trained in the royal court, and
'were designed to be the officers of the
succeeding king. Whedon. They were
without that experience and wisdom

grievous burdens on his people. 10. The

was complete. All that remained to
Rehoboam were the tribes of Judah and
Benjamin and the people of the outer
tribes dwelling in the cities of Judah.
Questions. -About what year did the
erents of our lesson oe•ur? Who was
Rehoboam? What requests did the peo-
ple make of Rehoboam? What burdens
had Solomon laid upon the people? To
whom did Rehoboam go for counsel?
State the two kings of counsel he 2eeeiv-
ed. Tell which was better, giving rea-
sons. What wrongs did Rehoboam com-
mit? How did the •people receive his
answer? What tribes remained faith-
ful to Rehoboam?
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
`The • king anewered the people rough-
Iy"'(v. 12). Reihoboam's `name means,
"Room for the people." In his defiant
answer, he sadly contradicted his name.
The true leader is the servant of the
people. "I am among you as he that
serveth" (Luke 22:27), said •the great
King. The true earthly monarch) will
follow the same path and "by fon scree"
his people (Gal. 5:13). The true pastor
will not, tyrannize "over God's heritage,"
but be an exampiet "to the fro •k' r f
gentleness and godliness (3 Pet. 13.3)
"And spake to them after the conntel
of the young men" (v. 14). to followed
the a <1 iv'
ce of the young and Ignorant
rather than the aged and wia "Gid
.men for counsel, young men for wine"
the proverb reads. D. W. Whittle says,
"To disregard lightly the adei':e of a
wise old man shows one to oe.shallow,
self-opinionated and ;tnfit for success.'
"My father made your yoke 'lessee,
and I will add to your yoke" (v. 14).
.,Solomon•wrote,; "The way of site tool is
a•i„ ht in 'his' own oyes; • but •fee. that
hea.rkeneth unto counsel is wise" (Prey.
12:15). But he did not practice his own
proverb and Rehoboam followed his fath-
er's foolish doing, not his raise :-ayieg.
What we do has a ;;greater influence tl:an
what we say. Solomon's sin of idolatry
was closely connected with tl:e extr.,va-
ganee which caused the division of the
kingdom. The splendor of his lotuestic
life (1 Kings 4:22-26) and the matenifi-
cence of his kingly court (1 lninge 10:
21-26; 11:3) were a severe strain even
for his prosperous people. Building +:be

tician estimated cost the enornto•ts sunt
of $52.117,034,807.46; fortifying Jerusa-

APPLE PULP AS CATTLE F001).

crop were not so light. •
Apple pulp has been fed with success.
and is a splendid eondiaieaer. but it
must be fed in fight quantities, as it will •
scour most animals if they se•e given all
'of it they would eat. It will impart a
glossy coat and fine.coadition to horses,
and is particularly valuable to milking
eows, and gives good satisfaction when
fed to hogs. Most animals show great
fondness for it, but sortie are to be
found that will not eat it ,t first. For
such, a little bit of salt sprinkled over
it will generally start totem. tinder no
circumstances feed too mueie, but just
enough to keep • the aminal hungry for
it.
Apple pulp, as compared with earn
meal, contains about thrum tinges es
much fibre, one-third is much etarch,
sugar and fat, the protein value stand-
ing at LOS as compared to 9.`2. It has
been estimated that a ten of apple pulls
