Tile name means "Jehoeali is •my (lade"
euthol'ities are not agreed as to whe he
la ('felled the Tishbite. tt le (mammals:
held that he was native of a plass
seated Tishbe, lir 1'1."hisbi iii \ap.u,(ti,
attd removed eastward ate oaf the-Jord.in
and became an inhabitant of Gilead.
Others believe that he epee a native of u
place called Tishbeh in Gilead.. In his
dispoeitiou he partook of the ragged,
mountainous character of the region iu
whi<:it he lived. His dreg was a mantle
of camel's flair cloth or el, ep$kin worn
with the wool outsi<(e, and gathered
about the loins with a lt•:ttiteru girdle.
funx:h was his appearoime as, btr'int
left his rugged, mountain lirtmt, he ap-
peared at the splendid p (tai of Ahab.
Staid unto Ahab—The Laser had a mom
in training, under His own (lineation, for
this important 'mission. The prophet
appeared. unheralded an l tehruptiy be-
gan 'to deliver hies message. :1s Lite Lord
God of Israel liveth--' ti .Jehovah liv-
eth" oas an ancient form of oath ill 1'a -
reel. Ahab had undertaken to put away
the worship •of Jehovah and had denied
that IIe was Israel's Clod. Elijah at once
)rffirms the existan ve and pow el' of e e-
'teaa), Before whom 1 stand—Aa a ser-

most equivalent to ram." ---Barth. These
years—Three and oee•linlf years. See
Luke iv. 25 and James v. 17. .\eetneling•
to my word—Elijah was t,r),t's appointed
agent, through whom He ordered the
cessation of the rein and through whom
the drought should be terminated. His
disposition and his attitude toward Cod
were such that he could be entrusted
with matters'bf the greatest importance,
The prophet had a mind ;end a heart to
understand God's words end to deliver
His messages.

word of the Lord—God gave, direetions
to Elijah, but we do not know how.

attempts have been made to snbsritute
1lte terms, "merchants,""Aral-stens.," or
"Orebites" for ravens, but there. is no
reason why we should not accept tho
literal meaning of the text..
5. He went and did ---leis act shown
faith in God and obedience to leis com-
mand. 6. Ravens brought him bread and
flesh ----As the feeding of Elijah during
Itis period Wits iniraitnloes, it is need-
less to conjecture as to the souroct from
w hielt the ravens procured the supply.
Morning..evening— Two substanLiale1
Meals a, day sufficed the prophet dur-
ing the time of famine. 7. The brook

menthe to a year that Elijah drank of
the brook before the Molt of rain caused
it to erase to flow. Ser. 1 flings, 18, 1,

Dominion Steel Company Suffers Seri.
ous Damage by Fire at Sydney.
Most Important Documents Are
Thought to be Safe in the Vaults.
Halifax, N- S., despateh: The general
eiiees of the Dominion Steel (lorpmet•
tion at Sydney were this afternoon de•
stroycei by fire,. which started in ilia
eottlpany'.s central telephone office. The
telephone central endeavored to notsf,,
the. other offices, blot communication wag
sot off f almost simultaneously •with ti..'
dei:^ot•ery of the fire, and the young lardy
at the board had a narrow. escape. T os
snore building was in flames .before
eompauy's firemen arrived. The fort.:
of water was not sufficient to sena ,t
sleealn to the second storey, where, the
fire originated. The Sydney fire sabots
wee almost. wrecked by slipping over the
embankment near the office.
In the efforts to save the a?ffeets in
the effieee. t'ohlnles of imam,' t, pewee,
prints and fyles were lose in feting
thrown from the windows. t\ great
vault v'}•ere many valuable papsrs were
fyletl broke through the floor,. and
0/1311011 into the basement. In the ex-
citement anything that came to hand
was thrown out of the windows at ran -
(loin, and the air Nita s filled with papery
flying from every ofiioe in the building,
the value of which can only be. conjec-
tttrerl. The company's documents of tire-
most value were, however, 'cleated in the
three vaults at the south ensl of the
building, which, it is believed, still stand.
Among the valuables lost are a singular-
ly oompletm record of the company's af-
fairs for the past•, ten years.
The building • itself was worth na
Inlet $60,000:• The exact insuranet fig•
ayes are not obtainable, but it is under-
stood- that there is about $40,000 on it.
