1-5), Rehoboam was the only son of
Solomon, as far as wo eau ascertaia
from the rewrite, and at his father's
(teeth Proceeded to take the throw:.
la order to do this he must leave the
coneent or approval of the people.
Solomon had exacted large service
froM the people in the great building
operations lie had carried torward,
and some a the tribes had become
dieaffectee toward his administratian.
Rehoboara anew that there -might be
difficulty in bringing them to his sup-
port, and he went to Shechem to
secure the allegiance et the ;lovelorn
tribes, as this place was central for
them. It was between Mount Ebel
and Mount Gerizim (Deut. 27: 11.-13;
Jaall- 23-35), and was bistorie be-
cause of the relation a Abraham,
Jacob, Joseph and Joshua to it. The
people presented to Reltoboam the
Plea that be make their burdens
lighter than those impose] upon them
by Solomon. if he would be. comfit
erate and just, they would accept hini
as king and serve him. They had al
a eounsellog Jeroboam, who had bean
Solomon's servant. and whom the pro-
phet Ahijah had approached with the
message that he was to . become king
over ten of the tribes of Israel (1
Kings 11: 26-40). Rehoboam desired
three days to consider the people's
request before giving an answer. This
delay indicated tbat be was not &to-
gether willing to accede to their
wishes.
11. Rohoboam taking counsel (vs.
6-11). 6. Consulted with the old men
-It was proper for an inexperienced
man, who was entering upon a great
work, to consult with those of mature
years and judgment, yet Rehoboam
could not have done better than to
have granted the people's request at
once. The next best course was to
consult with the old men Who had
been his father's advisers. 7. If thou
wilt be a servant -The duty o a lting
Is to have regard for the desirea and
needs a his subjects. IIe should
serve them by doing for them what
would make them better and happier.
The haughty Rehoboam could scarcely
bear the thought a sacrificing his
own selfish purposes for the welfare
of his people. Speak good words -
Words that would show that he bad
offection for them and desired their
highest welfare. Thy servants for ever
-A little effort on the king's part,
Nvith what to him might seem like
humiliation, would have Uri:meat the
opposing factions together, and se-
cured to him a stable and united
kingdom.
8. Forsook the counsel of the old
men-Rehoboara was seeking after
the kind of advice he desired, and
when he did not receive it from the
old men, he went elsewhere in search
for it.. He could not consent to the
demands of his subjects. He had no
idea of being their servant. Young
men -These -were his companions in
the royal court, and had the same
haughty spirit that possessed him.
They had little or no sympathy with
the common people. They thought
only of power arta the wealth and
authority which they believed neces-
sarily went with royalty. 9. What
counsel give ye-Rehoboani expected
an answer from them different from
the advice he had received from the
old men. The young men knew him
well enough to understand what
course he desired to take and, without
of that course, advised him to take it.
Make the yoke....lighter-If Solomon
had. retained in his latter life the hu-
mility and devotion that characterized
his earlier years there would have
been no occasion for the people to
make this request, His relit° and
ambition led him to impose grievous
burdens on his people. 10. My little
finger shall be thicker than my fath-
er's loins -The young men advised
Rehoboam against yielding to the
People's desire for relief. The bur-
dens im;posed by Solomon would be to
those which Rehoboam would impose
as the thickness of the little finger is
to the thickness of the loins. These
advisers flattered him and encouraged
him in his vanity. 11. A heavy yoke
-A yoke implies submiaaon and ser-
vice. The people did not object to
either, but there was a limit to the
burdens they could carry. Whips..
scorpions -The people were to be the
king's abject servants, and were to be
treated as slaves. The whip was the
itstrumett used by the slave-driver
upon the slaver The scorpion was
a whip in welch there were pleese of
metal twilled into the lash.

12. Jeroboain-He was tlie son of Ne -
bat, of the tribe of Ephraim, and a
man of great ability. He was present
at Schechen as the natural leader of
the ten tribes. 13. Answered the peo-
ple roughly - 'Added to the. 'terse
words cf his answer was the unkind
manner which he employed. Rollo -
beam displayed neither piety, wisdom
nor good taste. 14. Counsel of the
young men-fle heeded not the wise
words of age nor experience, nor did
he ask counsel of God. His mind
was filled with the thought of his own
importance and of kingly power. 15.

First of all was Solomon's turning

eePression which be brougla, upon the
tactile by his life of luxury. Cod had
expressly declared that he would
order future events on the king's obe-

with his sanction, they practied Butt

motes reign. They asked for relict

FACTORIIQS BLOWN 1.11'.
Rome, Cable, -The .Osservatore
Romano to -day publishes Pepe Bene-
dict's letter addressed to the belliger-
ent peopla; and their rulers warmly
saPealing for peace. The Pope elo-
quently describes ithe horrors of fra-
tricidal war and afftrms his decision
to spare no efforts towards peace,
which he briefly recapitulates on the
occasion of the first anniversary of
the outbreak of the war. He here
lifts his voice a.bove•the din of war
and invokes peace in the name of
God, whom he implores to end this
horrible slaughter wheal 13 dishonor-
ing Europe. The Pope eloquently
points out the ruin and. damage caus-
ed by the war, tne useless loss of life
and wealth, and adds that the com-
plete destruction of nations is impos-
sible, since the vanquished, even
thouga oppressed and humiliated,
prepare for revenge; hence hatred is
transmitted through generations.
The Pope then suggests direct and
indirect exchatige of views toward a
settlement of the rights and realiza-
tion of the aspirations of the bel-
ligerents, and invites all peace -lovers
to join in his efforts to end the war.
. The Pope reimplores the aid -of
God arid the 131essed Virgin toward
reconciliation of the warring States,
tho restoration of -the brotherhood Of
the people and the re-establishment
of the reign of equity and justice;
finally, he blesses all Catholics and
prays God to unite in bonds of charity
those outside the church.
Pope Benedict's appeal, which is
Very eloquent, contains no practical
proposals, but it is significant, since
this appeal for peace was possibly
solicited by the Austro -Germans,
hence it hurdled the Pope's williag-
ness to offer mediation if the proposal
is accepted by the belligerents.
Pope Benedict merolY proposes to
bring the peace agencies of the bel-
ligerents into contact with each Other,
even it only indirectly, since he is
conviticed that peace 18 possible if
the first arid greatest difficulty of ini-
tiating the negotiations is overcolne.

London Cable. -A telegraphic de -
spatch from Lalbacie Carniola,
says:
"The Austrians attacked the Ital-
ians at Gorizia with over 170,000 men,
includitig 30,000 Bavarians, on the
night of July 28 with disastrous re-
sults. The Austrie.n loses numbered
12,000.
"On the following day a fierce
Austrian attack on Carso plateau also
was repulsed.
"The Italians bola all the pceitions
they have catured in the last fifteen
days except the advanced trenches
before Gorizia, which have been
evacuated."
The Austrian official statemeut
says; "Rattan attacks are still ro-
ceeding on Lite border plateau of
Gorizia. rhey are imitated and un-
successful. They are being directed
against the vantage points of our
positions. Eliot of Sagrado near
Redipuglia, the Italian troops again
tried to gain ground, but everywhere
were repulsed, especially around
Monte Seibusi, which is firmly in our
hands.
"On the other points of the south-
west front there have been no mater-
ial events,
"On the plateau at Cormons re-
cently an Italian aeroplane was shot
down. The pilot and observer were
killed.
"Recently the Italians erected a
wirelese station on the Island of Pete-
gosa, which had not been occupied by
our troops. Wednesday our torpedo
boats 'destroyed the station. We land-
ed a reconnoitring detachment, and,
despite heavy resistance, advanced to
the enemy's trenches, which had been
strengtheeed by concrete and were
strongly manned.
"Supported by our ships' guns we
inflicted heavy tomes on the Italians.
Our -detachment returned without
great loss. Submarines- unsuccess-
fully fired several torpedoes against
our units."
Simultaneousie with the evacuation
all property likely to be useful to the
euemy, especially metal and machin-
ery, was removed or destroyed. Fac -

the owners of the plants were granted

Botha's Expenses in Victory Over
German Colonies,
Future of the Conquered Territory
Under Discussion,
Cape Town Cable, -The cost to
South Africa of the war in Southwest
Africa, which resulted in ,the loss of
that country to Germany, is estimated
In ()Metal circles at 467,000,000. The
suppression of the rebellion at home
was responsible for the expenditure
of an additional 520,000,000.
The close Of the war in Southwest
Africa has led to a discussion as to
the future of the conquered German
colony, When Gen. Botha was in-
vited by Me British Imperial Govern-
ment to undertake a campaign into
Southwest Africa last August, it was
stipulated that any occupied territory
should be held unreservedly at the
disposal of the British Governmeet.
The belief here is that the Imperial
Government will under no drone -
statues allow any of this territory te
go back into German hands at the
concInsion of peace, nor is it likely
that England will care to add to its
direct responsibilities by creathig it a
separate Crown Colony, It is gener-
ally regarded as inevitable therefore
that the greater Part Of Southwest
Africa. will ultimately be included as
an additional provinee of the Union
oe South Africa, with the exception
of the Caprivi strip, which may be
added to the chartered company's
territOrien in Central Africa.
For the inamediate future, teMpor-
ary arrangenients will be made for

tory during the rent:tinder of tho war
