SallaTEOtR n 25, 1904 Review, --Road Psalm 103: 1-12, • Summary, -Lesson I, Topic : Beho - boam's answer to the ten tribes and their revolt. Place • The assembly was held at Shechem. After Solomon's death the people assembled at Shechem to choose a new king. Solomon's so; Rehoboam was heir to the throne; he was young and tender hearted, but vain and wicked; the people asked to be re- lieved of . excessive taxation; Rehoboam counseled with the people as to what answer he should give; he forsook the counsel of the old men and listened to the counsel of the young men; he return- ed a stern reply and said he would be more severe than even his father SoIo- mon had been; ten of the twelve tribes then revoltd and chose Jeroboam as king. I. Topic : Jeroboam's effort to estab- lish himself in his kingdom. Place : The northern part of Palestine. As soon as Jeroboam was declared king of the ten ,tribes, he took measures to establish himself in his kingdom; there were bright prospects before him; he enlarged and fortified several cities; he then took steps to keep his people from going to Jerusalem to worship fearing that if they did their hearts would become at- tached to Rehoboam and that they then would kill him; he made two calves of gold and set one up in Bethel, and the other in Dan, urging the people to wor- ship in these cities instead of going to Jerusalem. This became a sin for the people soon fell into idolatry. III. Topic : .Judah's prosperity and victory. Place : Judah, Asa's kingdom. After the death of Rehoboam, Abijah, his son, reigned in his stead; his reign was short, .and at his death, Asa, his son reigned in Judah forty-one years; Asa was a good king and did what was right in the sight of the Lord; he removed the altars of the strange gods which had been set up in the kingdom and broke down the images which had been erect- ed to idols; he •commanded his people to seek the Lord and to obey his law; Ire fortified the cities in Judah; the land had rest from war for many years; Asa raised an army to meet the Ethiopians, who came against him; the battle was set in array; Asa cried unto the Lord; the Lord caused the Ethiopians to flee. IV. Topic : Jehosaphat establishing a judiciary. Place : Jehosaphat reigned over Judah. At the death of Asa, Je- hosaphat, his son, reigned in his stead for twenty-five years. Jehosaphat was a good king and trusted God; he thor- oughly cleansed the land from idolatry, but he committed a great error in join- ing himself to Ahab; he went with Ahab to fight against Ben-hadad, king of Sy- ria; the prophet of the Lord warned him not to go, but he did, and Ahab was slain. Then Jehu, the prophet, reproved Jehosaphat for helping the ungodly and for loving those who hated the Lord; after this Jehosaphat appointed judges in the land and did what he could to re- form the people and atone for the course lie had pursued. V. Topic: The, idolatry of Israel's kings. Place: Omri and .Ahab reign- ed over the ten tribes. Omri and Ahab were both' very wicked kings; they led the people into the worship of idols and fully established Baal worship in the land; the prophets of God were slain and his worship forbidden; Omri founded the city of Samaria and made it his capital; at his death Ahab, his son, reigned in his stead; Ahab was worse than any of the kings that had preceded, for he married Jezebel, .a heathen woman.; he built a s Nettie Blackmore, neapolis, tells how any young woman may be permanently cured of monthly pains by tak- ing Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound. " YOUNG WOMEN : — I had frequent headaches of a severe nature, dark spots before my eyes, and at my men- strual periods I suffered untold agony. A member of the lodge advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound, but I only scorned good advice and felt that my case was hopeless, but she kept at me until I bought a bottle and started taking it. I soon had the best reason in the world to change my opinion of the medicine, as each day my health im- proved, and finally I was entirely with- out pain at my menstruation periods. I am -host grateful." — NErr E Baleen - mons, 2S, Central Ave., Minneapolis, Minn.—$5000 forfeit if original of above !cite prebingg genuineness cannot be produced: If there is anything about your case about which you would like special advice, write freely to Ifrs.

Topic: Elijah's obedience and faith. Place: Samaria, Brook Client; and Garephath. Elijah the prophet ap- p'eared to Ahab and told him that there would be a great drought and famine m the land which would continuo three years; the Lord sent Elijah to the brook Uherith; the ravens fed him there; the brook dried up; Elijah was sent to Gare- phath; a widow woman was commanded to feed Elijah; he asked her for a little water; told her to bring him a morsel of bread; she said she had brit little ; Elijah encouraged her and asked her to bring him a cake first ; he said they would all be supplied. VII. Topic: Elijah meets Obadiah and Ahab. Place: Somewhere in Ahab's kingdom. The famine had lasted three years and six months; the supplies were exhausted; the Lord told Elijah to show himself to Ahab; Obediah and Ahab were seeking grass; suddenly Elijah ap- peared to Obadiah and asked him to tell Anab that Elijah was there; Obadiah. feared and said that if he should tell Ahab that Elijah was here, and then the prophet did not appear to Ahab, he would bo slain; Elijah said that he would cer- tainly appear to Ahab; Elijah asked Ahab to gather all lsrael and the pro- phets of Baal upon Mount Carmel. V111. Topic: Elijah convincing Israel that Jehova is the true god. Place: Mt. Carmel and Jezreel. A test was pro- posed by emjah in order to prove that he was the true God; Baal's prophets prepared their sacrifice and called upon their god to send fire; no answer; Elijah prepared his offering; dug a trench; cov- ered the offering and the altar and filled the trench with water; Elijah then calmed upon God and fire fell from heaven; the sacrifice and„the wood and the stone were consumed, and the water in the trench was licked up; the people said, " Jehovah is ,God.." The 450 prophets of Baal were slain. IX. Topic: Elijah's flight. Places: Jez- reel, Beer-sheha and Horeb. Ahab told Jezebel all Elijah had done; Jezebel sent a messenger warning Elijah that he mould be killed; Elijah fled for his life; dismissed his servant; went a day's jour- ney into the wilderness; sent angels to care for him. X. Topic: God's manner of dealing with Elijah. Place: Horeb, the mount of God.. Elijah was at Horeb or Sinai, hid in a cave. God asked Elijah why he was there; Elijah told the Lord how zealous he had been, and how they had sought his life; God caused a great wind to rend. the mountain and break the rocks, and after the wind an earthquake, and after the earthquake a fire, 'but the Lord was not revealing Himself in these; follow- ing these manifestations, the Lord spoke in a still, small voice. XL, Topic: The parting of Elijah and Elisha. Places: Gilgal, Bethel, Jericho, and the place where Elijah was trans- lated; Elijah made a farewell visit to the schools of the prophets; Elijah asked Elisha -what he should do for him; Elisha said, "Let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me." Elijah went up by a whirl- wind into heaven. XII. Topic: Israel reproved and ex- horted to seek God. Places: Amos was a native of Telcoa, but prophesied at Bethel. Jeroaboam II. was king of Israel; the kingdom was prosperous and rich: the people were very wicked and were worshipping idols; because of their sins Amos tells them that they would bc•carried into captivity. PRACTICAL SURVEY. A disastrous clivi; ' yn. For nearly thir- teen centuries the as dent of Jewish his- tory had flowed the igh a devious but undivided channcl.;1nt ited and obedient God's people were , j tneonquerable, and from a nation of kayos had risen to peerless power an =rivaled glory, which exceeded all ,,, , far and fabulous accounts and before which the splendor of Sheba faded into astonished insignifi- cance. Divided and contending, their strength wasted and glory declined until the once proud and powerful people be- came an easy prey to their enemies, They were literally "consumed one of an- other?' Lessons two, five and twelve are con- nected with the story of Israel, the se- ceding kingdom. They should be reviewed in connection. In them we have national evil introduced, inereased, rebuked. Jero- boam, forgetful of the power which had lifted him from the estate of a fugitive to sovereignty, violated the first funda- mental command and as a political stra- tagem introduced idolatry, thereby ac- complishing the extermination of his own household, and started his people at the very threshold of their history on the steep decline toward national de- gradation and ruin. The history of the past teaches that any nation departing from true worship and obedience to di- vine conunands, invites disorder and des- truction France abandoned God, defied reason and beauty and Wept repentant tears of blood in the bitter strife of the revolution. America temporized with human slavery and five sanguinary years wrought out the purification and punish- ment. She bows to -day before the legal- ized liquor traffic and is reaping the sad harvest of corruption and crime, and in- creasing confusion sweeps from ocean to ocean, while darker clouds hang on• the horizon. Lessons three and four represent a brief but consecutive period in the event- ful history of the original and preserved kingdom - of Judah. The subject consider- ed seems to be rulers and reforms. Solo- mon declared that "when the righteous are in authority the people rejoice; but when the wicked bear rule the people mourn?' Asa and Jelioshaphat were both reformers, though diverse spheres en- listed and occupied their activities. Re- hoboam, like his rival sovereign, early forgot his obligation to the Supreme Au- thority, on which depends the stability of all thrones. Chastisement followed, but utter destruction was averted by a timely. humiliation and "some delivereuee" was granted thc"tigh the independence of the kingdom *as temporarily lost, When his grandson Asa ascended the throne a reign of righteousness was instituted.Ilis Fully ipr'ec a°t d By all drinkers of Japan ten,.

C. Elford, Acting Chief of the Poultry Divi- sion. The following is a list of these sta- tions, -with the names of the operators in charge:. Ontario—Bowmariville, A. W. Foley; Holmesville, T. P. Foster. Quebec—Bondville, A. P. Hillhouse; Chicoutimi, T. 0. Lachance; La Trappe, Rev. Father Edward; Stanford, Frank Parley; L'Islet, Auguste Fafard. New Brunswick—Andover, George E.

Matthews; Eldon, Rouert Longard; Glen- finnan, David Macdonald; Montague Bridge, William Campbell; Mount Stew- art, Montague Pigott, A great deal of the operator's time is given to Showing farmers how the work of fattening is done, therefore the sal- ary of the operator and the cost of in- stalling the plant are considered as ex- perimental and educational expenditures. The selling price of the dressesd chickens is, however, expected to execed the first oust of the chickens and the cost of feed- ing, plucking and marketing. The work of each stations is confined to fattening enough chickens for illustration pur- pose. About+200 is the maximum num- ber kept at one time. The operator is not allowed to- be a competing buyer with others who have began to fatten chickens as a private enterprise. If the farmers are alrtady getting a fair price for their poultry, .the Station will con- fine its efforts to illustration or experi- mental work with even less than 200 birds. Those who are carrying on the work for themselves will] be considered not rivals but friends, and will be offered assistance where possible, Special attention is being .paid to choosing the right sort of bird for fat- tening; for instance, the blocky type of Plymouth Rock or Wyandotte is recom- mended as suitable for the purpose. The operators are required to spendas much of their time as may be required in as- sisting those who are engaged in or en- tering the business, by giving instruction in buying the proper type for fattening, in killing and plucking, packing, shipping, etc. Only birds of the proper type will be bought this year, and seven cents per pound will be paid for these at the sta- tions. An extra good type might well be worth eight cents, while another type of the same breed would be too dear at five cents a pound. Each •operator is considered responsible for the work and success of his own sta- tion. He is expected, as far as possible, to find a suitable market for the birds fattened at his station. The Department will, however, endeavor to provide a market for any surplus stock above local requirements. Each station will be con- ducted as much like a private enterprise as posible, the Department assisting the operator in marketing, etc., as it would a private firm initiating a new business. The demand for chickens fattened at the Government stations is very brisk this season, and front the offers already received it is expected that the ruling price will be from 11 to 13 cents per pound.' Parties fattening chickens nc- cording to the methods recommended by the Poultry Division, who may wish as- sistance'in marketing. can obtain. on ap- plication to Mr. Elford, a list of dealers who will be glad to purchase their birds. Yours very truly, W. A. Clemons, Publication Clerk. first care was the removal of the oc- casions and evidences of idolatry. Im- ages were broken, their altars were des- troyed, the groves cut down and the peo- ple commanded to `seek the Lord God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandments." In lessons six to ten we turn from truths of public to those of personal im- port, disclosed in a life closely inter- woven with civil affairs. The character of Israel's prophet, austere, unbending, and unblemished, and hiding a great wealth fo tender sympathy, towers in majestic solitude above the corruptions of the times like the glittering snow - crowned summit of some lofty moun- tain above the mists of the shadowed valleys below. God always has such who stand as human landmarks in erne of general decline in church or state. Their stern rebukes are the clarion call of dutywith a ringing echo of doom if dis- regarded. Fearless and faithful such men become the storm centres of progress. A peerless procession of such characters move down the ages as God's advance guards, the leaders of reform and her- alds of progress. The perennial truths of this magnificient life are many and var- ied. Information. Roynor—What do you know of We new language they call Esperanto?

Parkin, commissioner for the Cecil Rhodes Scholarship Trust, announces that the examinations connected with the appointment of the Rhodes scholars for the year 1905 will be held through- out Canada about the middle of January next, and that the committees of seiec- ion or the universities making appoint- ment will be expected to furnish to the trustees the names of the selected schol- ars during the month of April. Many of the Oxford colleges complete their entrance lists for October during the summer term, and in order that the scholars may be entered at the various colleges with due regard to their own preference it has been found necessary to fix upon these earlier dates for ex- amination and election.
