heartache of suc11 a calamity, yet this
girl, trained in the religion of Israel,
rose above her surroundings, and
made known her faith in God. "Like
Joseph in Egypt, and Daniel in Baby-,
lon, this captive girl becomes the in-
strument of making Jehovah known
among the heathen."-Whedon. Waite
ed on Naaman's wife -The service was
far different from that required of
Oases in more modern times. This
girl was upon familiar terms with her
mistress, and felt an interest in the
welfare of her master. 3. Would God
-"Would that" -R. V. Expressive of
deep desire, my lord-Naaman. The
prophet that is in Samaria- Elisha.
The Jewish girl had been familiar
with the remarkable career of this
servant of Jehovah. 'Would recover

leprose. An ellusion to the Israelit-
ish custom of shutting lepers out of
the camp and then gatheing in those
who were found to be free from lep-
rosy. 5. Go to, go -An expression
calling for immediate action. The king
at once opened the way for Naaman
to apply to the king of Israel rot: re-
lief. Departed, and took with him -
He took a present to jehoratn. We
can not estimate the value accurately.
The money was probably weighed, and
"talents," and "pieces," or "shekels."
were standards of weight. "A silver
talent was worth $1,944, in all $19,440.
A gold shekel was -worth $9.75, in. all
$58,500."-B1b1e Treasury. According
to this Naaman took nearly $78,000.

great value. 6. That thou mayest re-
cover hini-The king of Syria .consid-
ered it fitting to make the request di-
rectly to the king of Israel, who would
at once be able to give Newnan all
needful information. 7. Rent his
clothes -In token of his distress of
inind. Not only was jehoram pow-
erless to heal the disease, but he was
not even sufficiently familiar with El-
isha to direct the leper to him.
s, Elisha....heard-No doubt the
coming of the Syrian general with his
retinue, and the fact that the king
had rent his clothes, caused a sensa-
tion in' Samaria, and the news came
speedily to Slights, who appears to
have had his horne,in the capital city.
Wherefore -A rebuke to the king for
not knowing of the presence and pow-
er of the man of God. A. phophet in
israel-lt was to be shown that the
God of Israel was the true God, for
the good of the king of Israel as well
as for the good of Naaman and the
kingdom he represented. Jehoram had
neglected the worship of jeliovah and
needed to be reproved. 9. At the door
of the house of Elieha-It was a mag-
nificent retinue that halted at Elisha's
door. 10. Sent a messengee-There
were two reasons why Elisha did not
personally appear to Naaman. He de-
sitea the captain to realize that it was
by the power of Jehovah that the cure
would be wrought .and not by human
nieans. He also wished Naaman to
humble himself and accept the simple
conditions propmed by the prophet.
Seven times -"The sacred number sev-
en was used in the Levitical obser-
vances connected with the cleansing of
healed lepers,"
III. The leprosy cured (vs. 11-19), 11-
13. According to Naamazi's idea Ensila
had not shown him enough deference.
He supposed that Ensile would use
some Method of cure in keeping with
his office as Prophet and in keeping
with Neaman'e high position in the
kingdom of Syria. He scoffed at the
idea, of bathing in the yellow waters
of tbe Jourdan, While the waters of
the Altana ahd Pharpar at home were
clean Naaman's pride had been injur-
ed and he was angry. His servants did
not fully enter into his feelings. They
saw the need of a cure and thought
that relief from any source or by any
means ought to be 'welcomed. They
dared to reason with their master,
and their argument was so clear and
convincing that he was brought to
think better of Elisha's directions. 14.
Then -went he downe-He went "down"
Lit a twofold sense. He got down from
In s high place of pride humbling him-
self to accept the word of the prophet,
and he went down into the despised
waters of the 3Ordan. He was clean -
He submitted to the direetions given
by 1is1ia, obeyed and was healed.. It
was divine poWer that wrought the
cure, It Was an object -lesson to Syria

health was likely to be found, to the
effect that there was a remedial power
in Israel equal to the emergency and
that such power was delegated to the
Prophet Elisha. She knew that God
was with Ensile, and therefore she
had no doubt about Blishe's success.
It was no barrier to her simple, gen-
erous faith that Naaman,'s diseale was
incurable and he not of God's; coven-
ant people. It was a splendid testi-
mony to the character and inflneuce
of Elisha that hs. had awakened such
confidenm in the soul sof the little
maid. A few words from her moved
the household ef Naaman. No one
could doubt the sincerity of her con-
fidence or the genuineness of her
sympathy. Her words were the can-
did, artlese statement of a truthful
child. They carried conviction to all
who heard them, so that the courtiers
found themselves actually taking Naa-
man's cure for granted and proceeded
to discuss the method by which it
could be accomplished. Even the king
said "Go." God turned the calamity
of her captivity into blessing, He
directed her lite through that strange
way in order to do for that great man
what he could not do for himself and
what none in his own land could do
Lor him. She had so much true faith
that it filled her whole nature and
made her faithful under severe trial.
II. Acknowledged as God supreme.
High military command, great favor
at court, splendid reputation, great
success and noted personal bravery
were desirable accomplishments, yet
no honor, no valor, no victory could
place Naaman beyond the reach of his
sore calamity of leprosy. Only one
wily promised deliverance to him. One
thing could change his grief into joy.
Ile was directed to that by a child
who sought his deliverance more than
captain was cured 'eon., the king of
Syria, nor Joram, king of Israel, was
of any real help to Naaman in his
trouble. The king of Syria placed the
whole responsibility of seeing that his
captain aws cured upon the king of
Israel, supposing him to be supreme
In matters of religion. Israel's king
viewed his letter as a request for the
impossible, as an attempt to fOrce
a quarrel, as an attack upon his in-
sufficiency. Naaman was on the point
of being sent away when Eitsha inter-
posed. His words to the king were a
rebuke to Ids faithfulness as well as
an exhortation to him to seek help
where it was to be found. Naaman's
leprosy had not humbled his pride.
Eliehs, knew what reseeet was due to
authority and station, but just then
he was dealing with Naatnan, the M-
dividual, the leper, and not in his ca-
pacity as a greast general. As a ser-
vant of God it was his duty to benefit
Naaman's soul as well as his body.
But for the kindly exppstulations of
his servants Nattinan, -would have re-
turned a leper still. A second time
the blessing was nearly missed. This
time, through his own folly_ and ob-
stinacy, Cod designed to show mercy
to Naaman for his own glory and for
testimony that the Gentiles were not
outside the reach of his .grace, ISI
once sentence Ensile delivered his sol-
dierly order as a mightier soldier
than Newnan, It seemed to Naaman
like a studied slight put upon the riv-
ers of his native country; as an in-
tentional humiliation put upon himself
to require him to bathe in the Jor-
dan, He showed his good sense in
giving up his anger and foolish re-
solve. To be cured of such a disease
in such a manner convinced Naaman
of the power of God arid that Elisha
was hie true prophet. His new eon-.
viction reversed his old prejudices,
and the religious creed of his country.,
His new nature was manifested in his
conduct. T. R. A.

dress on the war, delivered before the
members of the New York State His-
torical Association,
General Greene is an honor gradu-
ate of West Point of the class of 1870,
and the author of many standard
works on military history. He gave
his hearers the benefit of what he call-
ed an "Intelligent guess" as the casu-
alties el the war, and submitted a
table showing the increase of the -na-
tional indebtedness of the European
belligerents. The increase over 1914
approximately. is $20,000,000,000. How
much of this is war debt, of course, is
problematical. The combined wealth
of the allies is estimated at $204,000,-
000,000, while that of the Teutonic allies
with Turkey included, is estimated at
5108,900,000,000.

British Sub. Commander's Impu-

London Cable - (Correspondence).
-The adventures of Kipling's hero,
Judson, with his fiat -bottomed gun-
boat on the Zambesi,' were supposed
to be the last word In English moral
impudence, but a new c!aimant for the
impudence championship is an Un-
earned English submarine in an un-
named port in the North Sea.
The submarine was a, new one and
on her first strip. When uncomfort-
ably close to the German coast the
engines broke down and she became
practically a derelict. The eeinmander
cheerfully told his crew;
"We have only one chance: that
is to fall in with some neutral ship
and then blow the belly sebmarine 111)
or sink her," the reason being that
this particular submarine Was sup-
posed to embody new and wonderful
features, which must on no aceount
become known to the enemy.
Shorely afterward a steamship fly-
ing a neutral flag came along. The
submarine limped toward her and
the conunander went aboard. With
supreme impudence he demanded to
See the shiprs papers. Lo! it was a
Gentian ship masquerading under a
neutral flag. The language the com-
mander used is suppoSed to be Classi-
cal. He said they deserved the fate
of pirates, but he would spare their
lives and make them prieoners. He
then took command of the steamer,
=rite and brought prize, prisoners
Mel derelict safely into port.

THE KING'S ARGUMENT.
Paris Cable. -What purports to be
details of the historic interview 'be-
tween King Constantine and Eleuther-
los Venizelos, which rasulted in the
latter's resignation as Plaine Minis-
ter of Greece, are printed in the Greek
journal Kairoi.
After agreeing to mobilization as a
precaution involving no change of
Policy, the King asked the Premier
what was the object of the concen-
tration of such a strong army on the
Macedonian frontier, M. Venizelos ans-
wered that the object was two -fold:
Filet, to defend the country, and, se-
cond, to go to the .aid of Serbia in
case she were attacked by Bulgaria.
The King then remarked"that he
agreed with Venizelos so far as de-
fending the country was concerned,
but could not see that Greece was call-
ed upon to help Serbia. The Premier
recalled the obligations imposed upon
Greece by her treaty of alliance, but
Constantine retorted that when Greece
asked Serbia's aid against Turkey in
May, 1914, it was refused.
To sfurther arguments on the part
of Verilzelos, the King replied that
the Premier was contradicting himself.
for whet4 the Allied powers asked
Greece telassist Serbia at the time of
the Austriap attack, Venizelos made
a promise %of Such assistance, condf-
tional upon the armed co-operation of
Roumania. and the benevolent neutral-
ity of Bulgaria. These conditions not
having been pledged, the King pointed
out, he refused to join Serbia at a
time when the Austrian forces arrayed
against her did not exceed 150,000 and
Bulgaria was not hostile. „
"But to -day," added the King, "the
Austro -Germans are a halt million, to
whom must be added 300,000 Bulgar-
ians and the retreat ef the Russians
prevents the Roumanians from doing
anything for Serbia,"
