ELLIS. t If a novelist | out to portray the political cond: tions of to-day, with their meaning | and message, he could -not writ anything quite so vivid and perts. | nént and significant as this tale | which begins a three months' course' of International - Sunday School! Lessons upon Old Testamen: his- tory. The present.appropridteness | of this absorbing and dramatic story is fairly scaresome. It makes the man familiar with cur-| rent world events almost jump as he reads it. And this is no make- believe bit of fictiom, either, with] colorless characters from a writ.) er's imagination; here honest history, crowded with flesh-and blood men, who still seem as alive as when they acted their parts , amidst stirring events in the! strategic land of old Israel. Many persons' who read this artl- cle do not go to Sunday School: they have only a s&ketchy idea of what a modern Sunday School is like. Such are advised to visit the livest * Adult Class. near them, to hear and share in the discussion of this week's Lesson. It is "loaded with far-reaching consequences. Even the most wooden of teachers or leaders cannot miss the mean- ing for to-day of this "striking pic- political abuses, political ills, political changes. The deep differences between a Bible Class discussion fo pressing public ques. tions, and thosp of mere malcon- tents, is that the former is shown & sure way out: the spiritual signi- ficance of it all is made clear. No- body ever became anything but a better citizen from studying the Bible. * a is Pen Pictures of Personalities. To begin with, let us-meet the actors in this great drama. WFirs.| of all, there is a dead man, King | Solomon--but very much alive, as the great dead usually are, in' the! continuance of their acts. Soloy| mon had played the fool, and now, | as Jehovah~had foretold, his chil-| dren and his people were suffering the consequences. A thousand max- ims rehearse the truth that a life projects its influence far beyond the | divided betwebn.two sets of counsei- : lors, as was ReRoboam. Policies and and no man dieth to himself."

Their tiie effects of. the deeds and policy | which was that of the Czars of Rus- of uxorious, {idolatrous, imperial] istic, oppressive King Solomon up- on the future of his nation. It 'was really he, and not his son Reho- boam, who split Israel, and destroy- ed th¢ great.future of the Jews' Next 'appears Prince Rehoboam, called to wear a crown too big for his head. He was the sort of young man that wealth, idleness and self- indulgence always produce; | the weak son of a strong father, proto- type of thousands of scions of monéy who nowadays may be found every afternoon and night fre- quenting the cabarets of the great cities. Poor Rehobpam had not per- sonality of brains enough to rise to the level of Ms new position; so he had to ask advice upon a course that should hive been obvious. When he got wise advice from the wige, and foolish advice from tne fools, he naturally, being a fool himself, accept .the latter. A sorry figure this weakling cuts try- ing to carry out a "strong" policy. Do the names of certain moderns come t0 mind at sight of Rehoboam? Assuredly, anybody can attach a present-day name.to Jeroboam, be cause of his likeness to characters whom our world knows, He was a- labor-leader, a reformer, a revolu- tionist and an. exile. He felt him- self called to redress the wrongs of the sorely oppressed Hebrew work- ingmen; and he had a prophetic in- timation that he was to be the first radical ruler of his fellows. When the division came in Israel, with it came his opportunity; and the out- lawed exile in Egypt returned to.su preme power among his people; quite like the present-day instances of Premier Zageoul, in Egypt; Len- ine, in Russia; President Masaryk, in Czecho-Slovakia and Premier Ven- izelos, in Greece. -------- 'Whom Do You Listen? ~presefit crisis grows tron(] old roots.

There is seldom counsel in public crises; lack of good the diffi- Israel had elder states- men who saw whither 'Solomon's oppressive alitoeraty. surely led. Their counsel to the king is stin golden for every public official: "If now you will be a servant to this people, and will serve them. .then they will. be your servants" forever." I wonder if the Prince of Wales' motto, "I serve," had its origin in this great utterance? Ih the wise words of his ripest counsellors, how different would have been the his- tory of the Jews! i Unfortunately, now as then, it is the irresponsible "good fellows" and boon companions who seem oftemest to get the ear of officials. This has long been a notorious scandal in Europeon politics, as it is to-day in Washington. The wrong men and women make themselves, heard; the beet citizens are usual- ly the least vocal. Radio broadcast- ing station-managers say that it is the jazz devotees who are quickest to make their opinions known. A Baltimore newspaper abolished its religious article, and heard only three complaints; at:the same time, it dropped the "Mutt and Jeff" comic strip, and received hundreds of protests. One of the first lessons for the Christian Church to learn is the duty of witness-bearing in pub. lic affairs; "Let the redeemed oi the Lord say so.

Over against this arrogance of au- which divided the king- dom of Israel in two, stands the democratic 'and divine counsel of conciliation by the elders in Israel; that the voice of the people should be heard, and that justice and good will and mercy should have the right of way. The only sure founda- tion for any government, especially in these yeasty times, is the confi- dence of the common people. If that is shaken, anything may happen.
