Jeroboam."-- . Straight into the social perplexi- ties of our times falls this plummet of ancient Jewish history and pro- phecy. If I had but lately returned from a journey to the Near East, for the purpose of portraying conditions there, I could not tell a more appro- priate story than this one of Jero- boam of long ago, whois the theme of this first Sunday School Lesson of the New Year. It means something tremendous that more than twenty millon per- sons are going to spend the next nine months in studying, week by week, the rise and fall of Patriotiam, social justice and religion, in the history of the Hebrews. Double and drama tic pertinency may be given to the theme if the dreadful rumors of ex- tensive new Jewish pogroms in the East are fulfilled, as predicted, this winter. Many adult classes will link the lessons to the present predilec- tidbn of Jews everywhere ' for so- cial reform and radicalism. It will save many persons from race bitter- ness to be kept, by the International Lessons, in the consciousness that the Jews were really the Chosen People, and the custodians of the highest re- velation of the Infinite, A Man Who Married Wrong, Despite the warnings of their pro- phets, the Jews, a thousand years before the Christian era, had adopted the king-fashion of their neighbors. The record of three milleniums ago reads like Kiplings "The Old Issue: "Here is naught at venture, random nor untrue-- Swing the wheel full circle, brims the cup anew. "Here is naught unproven, here is nothing hid: Step for step and word for word-- so the old Kings did! "Step by step and word by word: who is ruled may read, Suffer not the old Kings--for we know the breed---- "All the right they promise,--all the wrong they bring, Stewards of the Judgment, suffer mot this King!" 'From the pastoral simplicity of the times of the judges, the Jews were led, by Saul'and«David and Solomon, into all the state and splendor of Israel reached the apex of its civil and material and political glory under Solomon. For the sake of political alliances, Solo- mon married many wives, most of them heathen. The wives brought their religions and idols to the pal- aces and the capital. I suppose a modern novelist could amplify the théme of Solomon's deterioration by the sex complex. His harm came by his harem. The degredation of the moral tone of the kingdom and the loss of sterling qualities of char- acter in the princes, all trace back to the king's polygamy. Departure from the stern morality taught on Sinai inevitably was followed by de- parture from the living Jehovah. All eorts of evils to the people flowed from their leader's sensual indulgences and worldly pride. Solo- mon's. éplendor dulled the liyes of his subjects, His' ivory palaces were buiit on the bones of overdriven toil- ers, .In glaring contrast to his own magnificience and wealth was the in- creasing squalor and poverty of the masses. It was the king, aad not the kingdom, that grew in greatness. Today's problem of excessive wealth of the few and excessive want of the many is not a new thing, A Labor Leader Who Became King. It is no new thing for toilers, prese- were taxed sorely to support his mag- nilicence. We need to have it re- 2 Egee HHT § §s WHEN PEOPLE ARE PRESSED FAR. The International Sunday School Lesson 1.
