Golden Text. -A man's pride Shall bring him low. Prov. 29:23. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.-Rehoboam was born in 978 B,C., ascended the throne of Israel in 937 B.C., at the age of forty-one, and died in 920 B,C. Place.-Shechem, a city in sthe hill country of Ephraim between Mt. Ebel and Mt. Gerizim, and to- day known as the city of Nablus. Rehoboam; so far as appears, gx'evv to manhood as a mere hang- . er-on upon the court, the center of a group of young men brought up with him (I Kings 12:8) and eager to flatter his foibles. 1. And Rehoboam went to Sa- chem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him .Icing. though. Rehoboain: was acknowled- ged as the rightful successor to his father, there wa3 a desire among the people to modify the character of the government. Da- vid had ruled as a conqueror, and the fame and wealth and' great • yitidertakings of Solomon had gratified the people. and made them submit to many severities in his reign. Rehoboain had none of the recommendations of his father 'or grandfather, and the influential persons in the nation availed them- selves of the solemn enthroniza- tion at Shechem to put forward their desires. The People's Complaint 2. And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it (for he was yet in Egypt, whither he had fled from the pres- ence of king Solomon, and Jero- hoam dwelt in Egypt, 3. and they sent and called him), that Jero- boam and all the assembly of Is- rael came, and spate unto Reho- beam, saying, 4. Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee. With. every new, administration in government new hopes are born in the hearts of the subjects of that govern - Ment. . The • peop e.'s chief, grieve ance was the forced labor to which they had been subjected. 5. And he said unto them, De- part yet for three days, then conte again to me. And the people de- parted. I Kings 12:12-15. 12. So Jero- boam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come to me again the third day. 13. And the king answered roughly, and for- sook the counsel of the old men which they had given him. 14. and spoke to them after the coun- sel of the young men, saying, My father: made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke: my father 'chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. If Rehoboam had wished to split the kingdom, he could have found no better wedge than this blustering promise of tyranny. 15. So the king hearkened not unto the People; for it was a thing brought about of Jehovah, that he might establish"his word, which Je- hovah spake by Ahijah the Shil- onite to Jeroboam the son of Ne - bat. Rehoboam's folly and arro- gance worked out the ordained Judgment of God; but they were folly and arrogance still. - The Kingdom Divided 16., And when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, say- ing, What portion have we in Da- vid? .neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your ,;rents, O .Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents. This is the hour of Israel's tragedy. Israel and Judah now become two separate kingdoms, and are never one again in the Old Testament. The sepa- ration lasted for two hundred and fifty-three years, until Israel's kingdom tell. 17. But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in . the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them, 20, And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jero- boam was returned, that they sent and called him unto the congrega- tion, and made him king over all lsrae]: there was none that .follow- ed the house of David, but the tribe of Judab only.

Dr. Lewis M. Terman, scientific godfather to 1,400 "geniuses," at Palo Alto, Cal. The main determinants of suc- • cess among intellectually gifted people, he told the Western Psy- chological Association, are social adjustment, emotional stability and "the drive to accomplish." Seventeen years ago Dr: Terman singled out the 1,400 youngsters from California schools because they had intelligence quotients of 140 or better, meaning,ey rang- ed from the intellectual superior to the genius. His current report dealt with about 600 of the boys,,,particularly the 167 who became the most suc- cessful and the 146 lease success- ful uccess-ful of . t1he. group. Same Intellectual Qualities, , The intellectual qualities of the least successful and most success- ful groups were nearly the some. However, the most successful had a mean salary of $210 a month at the age of 23 and their pay rose to a level of $500 monthly when they reached 85. The least successful were earn- ing a mean of $96 monthly at 23, and the figure rose to $162 at the age of 35. Their mean salary nev- er "exceeded $162.

Buy wisely. 2. Plan meals at least two days.• ahead. Check foods on hand., Make out list of foods needed. 3. Buy foods in season.' 4. Watch for sales, and specials, shop around to get the best values. 5. Buy in bulk in as large quan- tities as practicable as it is usual- ly cheaper. 6. Ready prepared foods are more expensive than home cooked. 7. Do as much home canning and preserving as possible when fruits and vegtablesare plentiful. Com- mercially canned vegetables are ex- cellent in food value and may be used for variety when cheaper than fresh. 8. Read labels on cans or pack- ages and determine the amount, quality. and content iu them. Com- parison of standard'produets is an important item of economy. , 9. Buy by weight rather than by can or bottle. It is cheaper to buy one large can rather than two small ones. After a flight of 5,000 miles over Canada's northlands in less than seven days, Patrick Ashley Cooper of London, governor of the Hudson's Bay Company, re- turned to Winnipeg the last week- end in June. He inspected com- pany posts as far north as Akla- vik. "We covered 1,000 miles in one day and inspected nine posts," he said. "It would have taken Sir George Simpson, the first govern- or, from break-up to freeze-up to have made this trip." 1VIr. Cooper is the first governor of the ancient company to visit both Eastern and Western ,Arctic posts. His Eastern trip was made in 1934 aboard the S.S. Nascopie. During the flight piloted by H. Whiny, company pilot, the govern- or saw the midnight sun at Akla-. vik, sweltered in 90 degree tem- peratures at Fort Simpson and flew low over thick ice on Great Bear Lake.

L, 141:egroz of England, has compiled the' ngctur= nal flights of fancy of th,'reat. Here are -some examples George Bernard Shaw told Mr. Megroz he was frequently visited by a dream In which he is about to walk on a stage to perforin. a Part of which he doesn't know a word, or to sing an operatic roles without kna'wing a note of It,. Sir Oliver Lodge dreamt of erlattt plots; Osbert Sitwell, literary ec- centric, dreams of Nebuchad- nezzar's palace adorned with curi- ous words; Herbert Palmer, poet, often dreams of the "cold drab- ness of Hell." Three of J. B. Priest, ley's essays are literal records of events seen In sleep. WIIra CURIOUS By WORLD Fer uso�r 10: Learn what foods are graded and what each grade represents. Do not demand the fanciest gradeee the food value of the standard grades Is just the same. Buy the grade that fits the family's needs and purse. 11, Price is not an indication of food value. The cheapest food is often the most nourishing. U. Never throw away any food: (a) Use left -over cereals, vegb- tables and meat, in soups, stews or casserole dishes; (b) Save wat- er in which vegetables, 'rice; `etc., have been cooked to use in soups, stews and creamed dishes.

By MADGE ARCHER NEW RADIO HEADLINES As with stage and screen, the rise of a new radio star is news. Another of -Rudy Valiee's discover- ies is in the process of becomiug a headlines in radio. This is Alec Templeton, the pianist and comed- ian who began his own programs on Tuesday, July 4th, and will be heard from now on from 9:30 to 10:00 p.m. EDST., on this day, over NBC jand CBL, replacing Fibber McGee and Molly. Templeton is to have grouped around him a master of ceremonies, a singer and au orchestra, But Mr. Templeton• will be very much the star of the show. He is the only en- tertainer who has been able to fill in the odd comedy act against Charlie McCarthy on the Chase and Sanborn Hour and T�o t e strength like an anti -climax. of Templeton's work lies .in his smart satihe, his gentle yet forceful man- net, and his gifts ks a musician. He can take off anything!in terms of music and he is a master of the art in a serious sense. "BRIGHT .IDEAS" Every weak a new novelty pro- gram makes its appearance on the airwaves.
