LESSON III • â-  . REHOBOAM: A MAN WHO •^ MADE A FOOLISH CHOICE ,° ' I Kins* 12:1-20 ^ Printed Text, I Kinf» 12:1-5, 12-17, 20. • â-  ^Golcen Text. â€" A man's pride • atell bring him low. Prov. 20:23. • .THE LESSON LV ITS SETTING â- â€¢ .Time. â€" Rehoboam was born in ' 97« B.C., ascended tlie throne *£ â- â€¢ Jarael in 937 B.C., at the age of . forty-one, and died in 920 B.C. ^ • Place. â€" Shechem, a city in the .,.• hill country of Ephraim between . Mt. Ebal and Mt. Gerizim, and to- , ' day known as the city of Nublus. Rehcboam, so far as appears, ., grew to manhood as a mere hang- V er-on upon the court, the center ^ of a group of young men brought . up with him (I Kings 12:8) and ^ J eager to flatter his foibles. . ' 1. And Rehoboam went to Sa- â-  chem: for all Israel were come t'> ' . Shechem to make him king. Al- , though Rehoboam was acknowled- ged as the rightful successor to â-  ' his father, there was a desire • • among the people to modify the '. character of the government. Da- , vid had ruled as a conqueror, and tVve fame and wealth and great undertakings of Solomon had gratified the people and-made them • submit to many severities in his ^ reign. Rehoboam had none of the recommendationi of his father or grandfather, and the influential "• persons iivthe nation availed them. , selves, of the solemn enthroniza- tion St Shecher.i to put forward their desires. The People'* Consplaint 2. And it car;:e to pass, when • Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard « of it (for he was yet in Egyin, • whither he had fled from the pres- . ence of king Solomon, and Jero- boam dwelt in Egypt, 3. and they â-  sent and called him), that Jero- â-  boam and all the assembly of la- , rael came, and spake unto Reho- boam, saying, 4. Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore * make thou the grievous service of " thy father, and his heavy yoke J 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 tlie subjects of that govern- ^ ment. The people's chief griev- • ance was the forced labor to which • they had been subjected. . 0. And he said unto them, De- , part yet for throe days, then come again to me. .\nd the people de- parted. ' I Kings 12:12-10. 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. .-Vnd the • king answered roughly, and for- . sook the counsel of the old men . which they had given him. 14. and spake to them after the coun- ' sel of the young men, saying. My . father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to jour yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but 1 will chastise you with scorpions. If Rehoboam had wished to split the kingdom, he could have found no better wedge thiui this blustering promise of tyranny. 15. So the king hearkenei not unto the people; for it was a thing brought about of Jehovah, that he might establish his word, which Je- hovah spake by .\hijah the Shil- onite to Jeroboam the son of Ne- ' bat. Rehoboam's folly and arro- • ganee worked out the ordained Judgment of God; but they v.ere folly and ai"ro.:;ii\ce still. The Kingdom Divided 16. And v-her, 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 wc inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your .'cms, O Israel: now sec to thine own house, David. So Ii-rael departed unto their tents. This is the hXiur af Israel's tragedy. Israel anl , Judah now become two separate kingdoms, and arc never cnc again in the Old Testament.

Intelligence Is Not Primary Success Factor Ability To Get Al<Nig With People Is Rated as More Im- portant, Psychologist De- clares The ability to get alon^j with people is relatively more important than superior intelligence in the quest for success. Dr. Lewis M. "Terman, scientific godfather to 1,400 '-geniuses," at Palo -Mto, 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 CaliiTornia schools because they had intelligence quotients of 140 or better, meaning they 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 of the group. Same intellectual Qualities The intellectual cjualities of ihe least successful and most success- ful groups were nearly the same. 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 35. 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 e.\ceeded $162. On Marketing How to Be Economical, Sielec- tive â€" Twelve Suggestions 1. Buy wisely. i. Plan meals at least two days ahead. Check foods on hand. Make out list oC foods needed. 3. Buy foods in season. 4. Watch for sal»3, and specials, shop around to get the best values. 5. Buy in bulk la as large quan- tities as practicable as It is usual- ly cheaper. 6. Ready prepared foods are more ezp»nsiTe than home cooked. 7. Do as much home canning and preserving as possible when fruits and vegtables are plentiful. Com- mercially canned vegetables are ex- cellent in food value and may be ua&d for variety when cheaper than fresh. 8. Read lab,iis on cans or pack- ages and determine the amount, quality and content iu tUem. Com- parison of standard products is an important item of economy. 9. Buy by weight rather than by can or bottle. It is cheaper to buy one large can raihor than two small ones. 10. Laara what foods are graded and what each grade represents. Do not demand the fanciest grades, ths food value ot the standard grades ia just the same. Buy tha grade that fits the family's needs and purse. 11. Price is not an indication of food value. The cheapest food la often the moat nourishing. 12. Never throw away any food: (a) Use left-over cereals, vege- tables and meat, in soups, stswi or casserole dishes; (b) Save wat- er la which vegetables, rice, etc., have been cooked to use in soupa, stews and creamed dishes. When- ever possible cook vegetables tn Iheir jackets.

RADIO AND NOTES E W S By MADGE ARCHER Arctic Outposts Quickly Visited Hudson's Bay Company Gov- ernor Flies 5,000 Miles in Week After a flight of 5,000 miles cveF Canada's northiands 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- panv 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." Mr. Cooper is the first governor of the ancient company to visit both Eastern and Western Arctic posts. His Eastern trip was made in li>34 aboard the S.S. Nascopie. During the flight piloted by H. Winny, company pilot, the govern- or saw the midnight sun at Akla- vik, sweltered in 90 degree tem- peratures at Fort Simpson and Hew lo'.v over thick ice on Great Bear Lake. NEW RADIO HEADLINES Aa with stage and screen, the rise ot a uew radio star is news. Another. ot Rudy Vallee's discover- ies Is in the process ot becoming a headliner in radio. This is Alec Templeton, the pianist and comed- ian who began bis owu 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 and t'BL. replacing Fibber McGee and Molly. Templeton is to have grouped around him a master of ceremonies, a singer aud an orchestra. But Mr. Templetou will be very much tha star of the show. He is the only en- tertainer who has been ablo to fill in the odd comedy act against Charlie McCarthy on the Chase and Sanborn Hour and not souud like an auti-cliuiax. The strength ot Templetou's work lies iu his smart sative, his gentle yet forceful man- ner, and his gifts as a musician. He can take oft anything in terms of music and he is a master of the art In a serious sense. "BRIGHT IDEAS" Kvery week a new novelty pro- gram makes its appearance ou the airwaves.
