' "• • fM tiii briefly look at fcbfc flret flir*>e , Iohsuiih of this quarter. What was lee f P\y *ou 1 about? "The Kingdom Divided." .'ft?^"What persoiiB? Jeroboam 'and Reha- Vihiii. How does it stand to-day? Do ; ^ <we not have a Jeroboam and a Reha- |^5 loam? A whisky Jeroboam who has g,- tuki'ii uearly all of our land, and a tem p} j «a»tee Rehaboam who has only a 8mi.ll if* , j or'ion, but nevertheless is the rightful , ruler of the land. Does not this jero- boamasofold say, "t will male youi yoke heavier by laying upon you heavj t xe.«, to support my jails, poorbousee, . »od insane apylums"? Ifii. lesson II. Idolatry in Israel. What jp jv are the golden calves that the Jeroboam f of to-day is worshipping? Nothing more n »r legs than the tariff and civil service Sf .f , r eform. Jeroboam of old knew it was wrong to set up golden calves. Jero- fi brains of to-day know that it is wrong £-\y to set up the tariff and legve out the ;.'f vital, absorbing issue--Home vs. Saloon. V . ' L^son III. God's care of Elijah. Who does God care for at the present time? "4 > * Is it the A hobs who are seeking the life of |K> - of the Elijahs who are doing all in thdr , - power for the redemption of God's pto- !' pie? No; it is to the Elijahs He extends 1|&' His care. Between this lesson and the §fV- last we find that all of Jeroboam's de- !tff acendanta were destroyed. So will it be pf5. with the whisky Jeroboams. But that is enough to show you just §pgr ; an outline for thought. f' Too can not say you are not interested fl • because every day the faloons are doing , evil, directly or indirectly, to your fam- 2| . ily. Even though your family are all jfe,'. members of the church, upright and jr . honorable, is it for you to say they will pV. never fall? Tou are all familiar With the |v * Baloon's work, the slow, lingering, heart- & rending death of all those who look • upon the wine that is red and thus diso- l^4 bey God's holy words, "touch not, taste ^ not, handle not." j&f„-* " You are your brother's keeper, and for that reason you must do all you can, to <gv, „/ remove the stumbling blocks from his * path. The remedy is a simple one. Let it ring through the land; proclaim it ia every Sunday School; imprint it up­ on the minds of every Sunday School scholar--Total Prohibition of the ac- >P -£•- • h, 4 f . cursed liquor traffic. <§* , Says Demorest, "The moral sense of the people has been so completely demor- |;V '* , alized with fallacious arguments, and ' their appetites so thoroughly vitiated by ft", indulgence, that to accomplish such a |v\' radical change in their minds as absolute • E%-:' , Prohibition would bring about, would be & , a modern maryel, amounting almost to th • a revolution; yet to this it must come at p: • last or onr homes will be demoralized and our civilization jeopardized beyond v: 5 t^he hope of recovery. But the people are [%!»" " fast realizing that the alternati ve of elay- ing the monster or being slain them- , themselves, must be met, and this qbes- #itl tion of the prohibition of the liquor >.,f traffic must be decided very soon, or riot, anarchy and general debauchery of the k;-s . nation will inevitably follow any further ^ : indulgence of this hideous curse of the country." Sunday School teachers: it is your doty to teach against this debauchery of |p|/V, the nation. Yours is a sacred calling. S'VDevote yonr life to the maintenance oi I ' that most sacred of all virtues--Tem- |> t ^ parance. I-; To evwy young dtiieo^lt Si jfjur - duty to choose some ideal, either real or |h--' " imaginary, that you are inspired with, ! that makes your heart throb and your • thought leap up into life. Allow me to say to you that there is> One whom you can truly make your ideal. I refer now ^ to the meek and humble Jesus. Follow k- in His footsteps and no more would need j|-f J to be said against the demon Rum. f ,y ' But there are some who do not, and so p-'". we should do all in our power to remove aH things that would drag us away and from Him who died to save us.
