LESSON IX. -FEB. 26, tslI.
Elijah Meets Ahab in Nahoth's Vine-
yard. --1 Kings 21: 1-29.
Contrnentary,•--I. A.ltab's covetousness
(vs. 1-0.) There was no vt'rona in Ai>.ab's
wish to
secure the desirable ps'ece of pro-
pertywiticlt lay close to his palace at
deuce!, provided he had no purpose of
rewetting to unjust means to obtain it.
Naboth was justified in withholding the
\vineyard frorn Altab,
waanefrot bsidebecause "the- per-
nylawte(rLal inheritance
ev. 25: 23 -28 -
Num. 36: 7-9), and it would seem like a
denial of leis allegiance to the true reli-
gion to sell it when the jubilee restora-
tion was neglected in these idolatrous
tnsnet.: It is an unfavorable view that
we get or Ahab as we see him skulking
in his bed -chamber because his wish is
not granted. His conduct reminds us of
that of a peevish, pampered child. Ile
"became miserable because he could not
get a poor man's vineyard added to all
that he possessed. It is a true saying,
`That soul in which God dwells not, has
ho happiness, and he who has God has a
satisfying portion."' -Clarke. In telling
his trouble to Jezebel he Handed his case
over to a resourceful, conscienceless,
cruel woman, who would hesitate at no
itdquity if only sthimight,aceomplisli Iter
end. '
H. Jezebel's cruel plot (vs. 7-10.) Jeze-
bel appeared to hurt contempt at Ahah'a
weakness. In her view it was unreasou-
able for him, a king, to hesitate to ap-
propriate Naboth's vineyard if he want-
ed it. She Might have said, "Is _Naboth
King? or are you? Cheer up, Ahab,
and eat. I will get the vineyard for
you" To the reproach. of Israel it must
be said that Jezebel was the real head
of the government. She assumed royal
authority, issued the murderous decree,
affixed the king's seal, and Naboth was
a doomed man. • Ahab was no less guilty
than she, for he was knotting to ttte
transaotion and was responsible for the
use of his seal upon the document that
meant Naboth's death. Jezebel may be
appropriately classed with Herodias, who
caused the death of John the Baptist.
IIT. Naboth shamefully executed (vs.
11-14).
11.his city---•Tezrcet, about twenty
miles north -of Samaria. The king and
queen were at the latter city. Elders .
nobles -Those in authority in the city.
The elders were the representatives of
the tribes dwelling in JezreeI. The nobles
were leading Hien, socially, in the city.
Did as Jezebel had sent unto them -niter
letter to the elders of Jezreel speaks out,
with cynical disregard of decency, the
whole ugly conspiracy. It is direct, horri-
bly plain, and imperative. There is a per-
fese nest of sins hissing and coiled toge-
ther in it -hypocrisy calling religion .-m
to attest a lie, subornation of evidence,
contempt for the poor tools who are to
perjure themselves, consciousness that
such Work will only be done by worth-
less men, cool, lying, ferocity and mur-
dct.--McLaren. The letter came to the
elders and nobles bearing the royal au-
thcrity since the king's seal was affixed.
"In giving validity to documents, names
were not in those days, nor are they now
in the East;. signed by the hand in writ-
ing, but impressed by a seal on whiter
the name is engraved. Hence the im-
portance which is attached to the signet

to take possession- At rat the eove:ted.
prize was within his reaelt, and he
was ready to take it, no nta.tter at
what cost of innecnnt blood. The sati' -
faction which he hoped to secure from
the possession of the vineyard was des-
tined to be turned auto bitterness. There
is a sort of pleasure in aequiring pro-
perty,

who envy the appearance, power, posi-
tion or possessions of•anotlter; who de-
sire passionately the 'houses, lands,

FOR LIFE?
Mothers Should Realize `What
Neglect of Skin -Troubles
May Mean to Children.
A lifetime of disfigurement and suffering
often results from the neg]eet, in infancy er
childhood, of minor affections of the, skin and
scalp. A. mother overlooks a little rash or
attempts ron'e simple treatment and in a.
day, perhaps, the little one is covered with
severe eczema or a tinnier distressing erup-
tion. 'Chen the struggle for a cure begins:
A multitude of remedies are tried, doctor
after doctor consulted and hospitals visited,
but too often the suffering extends, without
substantial relief, f rote days to weeks, weeks to
months and months to years. Added to this is
the ewer -present fear that the itching, bunting
and disfiguration will become chronic, mar-
ring future v, elft re and snaking life miser sble.
in the prevention of the simple shin troubles
from which all this suffering sa often arises
and in establishing a condition of skin health
that makes eruptions impossible, mothers aro
assured that nothing is purer, sweeter or more
effective than Cuticura Soap and Cuticu a
Ointment. And greater stili, if possible, 13

in the treatment of the severer skin affections

Cuticura Soap and gentle application of
Cuticura Ointment, the itching and burning.
of eczema cease, the child falls into a refresh -
:reg sieep, the mother rests and for the first
(Inc. possibly, in many weeks peace fans ore
a distracted household. Frequently a single
cake of Cuticura Soap and box of Cuticura
Ointment are sufficient.
Positive as i5 this statement, it Ls justified
by more than thirty years of pronounced
success. To quote but a single instance,
Robert Mann, of Proctor, Minnesota, says:
"Our boy was born in Toronto on Oct.
13. 1508, and when three months old a slight
rash appeared on his cheek. What appeared
to be a water blister would form. When it
broke. matter would run out, starting nevr
blisters until his entire face, head and shoul-
ders were a mass of scabs and .you could not
see a pardele of clear skin. We tried about
every advertised remedy without avail, in. -
deed some of them only added to his suffering.
and one in particular, the Remedy,
almost put the infant into convulsions. Tina
ramily doctor prescribed for him and told us
to bathe the baby hi buttermilk. Thls diel
not do any good, so we took him to a hospital_
lie was treated as an out-patient twice a week
and he got worse, it anything. We decided
that it could not be cured and must run roc
course and so we just kept his arms bandaged
to his side to prevent his tearing his flesh.
\i a left Toronto and shortly after our arrival
in Duluth, the Cuticura Remedies were
recommended. We started using theta in
May, 1909 and soot. the cure was complete.
lou would not think he was the same child
for Cuticura made his skin perfectly dear and
he is entirely free from the skin disease. There
has been no return. We still use only Cull --
curs, Soap for baby's hash."
