PLACE— Rehoboam’a capital was at
Jerusalem The Disruption occurred at
Shechem which was the first capital of
the northern kingdom and the metropolis
of Ephraim It was 30 miles directly north
of Jerusalem between Mounts Ebal and
Gerlzim Here were located Incidents In
the lives of Abraham Jacob Joseph and
Joshua Close by doubtless as a part of
the larger town were Jacob’s well and
Sycliar where Jesus talked with the Sa-
maritan woman And there Is now the
‘seat of the Samaritans the smallest re-
ligious sect in the world '
This lesson covers the story of Re-
hoboam and how he lost a kingdom
It is the story of a reckless untrain-
ed conceited young man and his com-
ing into the real business of his life
He was the heir to a throne and his
name means "Enlarger of the people"
expressing the hope of his father for
his son The son disappointed these
hopes and became the “Dimlnisher of
his people" Alas for such boys to-
day! His father was Solomon His moth-
er Naamah a young heathen princess
of the kingdom of Ammon on the bor-
der of the desert east of the Jordan
She was one of many wives of Solo-
mon Rehoboam seems to have been the
natural heir to the throne Judah ao-
cepted him But as in the case of
Saul David and Solomon at least In
Jerusalem the people had a voice in
the selection of their king Accord-
ingly the tribes were summoned to
meet at the old northern capital She-
chem to confirm the successor of Sol-
omon The northern tribes were de-
termined to obtain a charter of rights
that would relieve them from their
burdens as the price of their submis-
sion For Solomon had forced them
to give their unpaid labor upon his
great buildings and these free and
independent Ephraimites were re-
minded of their ancestors’ slavery in
Eg pt They were shrewd enough to
send for their brilliant sympathizer
Jeroboam whom Solomon had ban-
ished to Egypt They were ready to
enforce their just demands
Rehoboam apparently attended by
a small forco goes to confer with
them Jeroboam is their spokesman
Rehoboam answered the people
roughly One of the most foolish
things be could do “Rough words do
one of two things they wound or they
madden”
And Israel saw that the king heark-
ened not Josephus says that “they
were struck by his words as by an
iron rod" What portion have we
In David? What have we of the north-
ern tribes to do with David’s son Re-
hoboam or David’s tribe Judah? To
your tents O Israel Back to your
homes and prepare for war
Every young man has a kingdom in
his own soul He may throw it away
— half of it or all of It in the same
way Rehoboam did foolishly follow-
ing his headstrong will Or he may
take the advice of wise men and the
Bible and become monarch of all
the royal possibilities God has placed
in his life
One's character already formed
is a powerful factor in all emergen-
cies of choice and decision There is
no time V3 prepare a new character
Rehoboam had formed the habit of
taking bad advice when it fitted his
inclination and so he took it at his
life's crisis
On his return to Jerusalem Reho-
boam assembled an army of 180000
men to compel the seceding tribes to
return But a prophet forbade the
movement in the name of the Lord
Rehoboam’s goodness was but ttie
early cloud and the morning dew As
soon as he was firmly established he
returned to his old wayB and “forsook
tho law of the Lord” Tho deteriora-
tion of his character and his king-
dom was symboi'fzed by the change
from the shields of gold which Solo-
mon had made for his palace armory
but which Shishak took away and
which Rehoboam replaced by shields
of brass
This deterioration continued two
years when God used another instru-
mentality for making Rehoboam
good In his fifth year Shishak the
Pharaoh of Egypt came up with
1200 chariots COOgO horsemen and
an uncounted number of common sol-
diers They captured the city of
Judah devastated the country and
carried away the treasures Solomon
had stored in the temple and in his
palace and the golden shields In his
armory Shishak left an inscription
on the walls of Karnak in Egypt giv-
ing an account of this invasion The
prophet Shemaiah interpreted the
meaning of this calamity and king
and princes humbled themselves con-
fessed their sins and promised to do
better
The Lord therefore delivered them
Rehoboam continued to reign and
though his kingdom was not destroy-
ed yet it was far from what it might
have been for “ho did evil because
be prepared not his heart to seek the
Lord”
God’s principles are everlasting but
the forms f their application vary
with every variation of circum-
stance As patriots what is there in oui
country that wo wish to have go down
tho ages S3 a blessing? and what is
hero th:t we should give our wholt
fcoul to cbanginB or blotting out?

"John was very slow at everything"
she said referring to her oldest "Tom

May Avert Striae
Chicago — With railroad managers
and locomotive' engineers on the verge
of an open rupture and the most gigan-
tic strike in railroad history but a few
hours off Labor Commissioner Neill
late Friday night stayed the strike or-
der and paved the way for an amica-
ble settlement The issue of peace or
war will be determined Saturday
At midnight the changes appeared
on the side of peace
A compromise which Mr Neill con-
sidered fair to both sides was present-
ed to the leaders too late for the com-
mittee to get together to act upon it
Each side will discuss it Saturday and
if it is acceptable an agreement may
be signed by noon
Early In the evening It appeared that
a strike was imminent Grand Chief
Stone of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers declared he saw no
hope of a settlement and with his ad-
visory board was preparing to issue a
strike order
Some o the committeemen were
making arrangements to leave the city
and hurry to their respective divisions
to be ready for the clash Mr Stone
Intimated it was only a question of a
few hours when the bullfelin ordering
the men to leave their cabs would be
issued
About 7 o’clock Mr Neill telephoned
Mr Stone to meet him at a hotel at
once with the members of the advis-
ory board When Mr Stone and his
committee leached the hotel Mr Neill
presented the compromise agreement
It provides for some concessions on
both sides though its acceptance it is
said will give the men a good advance
over the offer made them by the mana-
gers That It will be accepted by the gen-
eral managers is said to be almost cer-
tain Commissioner NeilJ was completely
worn out after his seven-day continu-
ous conferences He would not discuss
the nature of the compromise he had
drawn up but admitted it was his final
btep In the mediation line If it is re-
jected by either side Mr Neill will
formally offer arbitration ns he Is re-
quired to do under the law

Had Money In Lumps
Charles H Rosenberg of Bavaria
had lumps on his shoulders elbows
and hips when he arrived here from
Hamburg on the Kalserln Augusta Vic-
toria In fact there was a series of
smaller lumps along his spine much
like a mountain range as it is present-
ed on a bas-relief map
The lumps were about the size of
good Oregon apples and as Rosen-
berg passed before the Immigration
doctor for observation the doctor said
softly to himself “See that’ lump”
Then he asked Mr Rosenberg to step
aside
“You seem like a healthy man"
said the doctor "but I cannot pass you
until I know the origin of those lumps
on your body” "Ah It is not a sick-
ness” laughed the man from Bavaria
“Those swellings is money” 1
Taking oft his coat he broke open a
sample lump and showed that It con-
tained (500 in American bank notes
He informed the doctor that he had
(11000 in all with which he was go-
ing to purchase an apple orchard In
Oregon
He was admitted to the country —

The League of Politeness
The League of Politeness has been
formed In Berlin - It alms at Inculcat-

of Berlin It was founded upon the
initiative of Frauleln Cecelle Meyer

the parent organization the Berlin
league has chosen the Italian motto
“Pro gentilezza” This will he em-
blazoned upon an attractive little
medal worn where Germans are ac-
customed to wear the Insignia of or-
ders The idea Is that a glaance at
the “talisman” will annihilate any In-
clination to Indulge In bad temper or
discourteous language "Any polite
person” Is eligible for membership

" ‘By actual calculation I have
saved by smoking a pipe instead of
cigars this year (208 But where Is

Exaggeration
On her arrival In New York Mme
Sara Bernhardt replying to a compli-
ment on her youthful appearance
said: “The secret of my youth? It
is the good God — and then you know
I work all the time But I am a
great-grandmother” she continued
thoughtfully “so how can these many
compliments be true? Iam afraid my
friends are exaggerating”
Mme Bernhardt's laugh spontane-
ous as a girl’s prompted a chorus of
“No no!”
"Yes” said the actress "uncon-
scious exaggeration like the French
nurse on the boulevard Our boule-
vards are much more crowded than
your streets you know and although
we have numerous accidents things
aren’t quite as bad as the nurse sug-
gested “Her little charge a boy of six
begged her to stop a while in a crowd
surrounding an automobile accident
’Please wait’ the little boy said ‘Want
to see the man who was run over’
'No hurry’ his nurse answered
‘There will be plenty more to see
further on’ ”

"Of course" said Mr Sirius Barker
"I want my daughter to have soma

New Process of 8talnlng Glass
The art of ooloring glass has besa
lost and refound Jealously guarded
and maliciously stolen so many times
In the history of civilization that It
seems almost Impossible to say any-
thing new on glass staining Yet a
process has been discovered for ma-
king the stained glass used In windows
which la a departure from anything
known at the present time What tho
Venetians and the Phoenicians knew
of It we cannot tell
The glass first receives Its design In
mineral colors and the whole Is then
fired In n heat so Intense that the col-
oring matter and the glass are Indis-
solubly 'fused The most’ attractive
feature of this method Is that the sur-
face acquires a peculiar pebbled char
acter In the heat so that when the
glass Is In place the lights are delight-
fully soft and mellow
In making a large window In many
shades each panel Is separately mould-
ed and bent and the sections are a
sembled In a metal frame
Our Voices
I think our conversational ' soprano
as sometimes overheard In the care
arising from a group of young persons
who have taken the train at one of
our great Industrial centers for In-
stance young persons of the female
sex we will say who have bustled In
full dressed engaged In loud strident
speech and who after free discussion
have fixed on two or more double
seats which having secured they pro-
ceed to eat apples and hand round
daguerreotypes — I say I think the
conversational soprano heard under
these circumstances would not be
among the allurements the old enemy
would put In requisition were he gefe
ting up a new temptation of St An-
thony There are sweet voices afnong us
we all know and voices not musical
It may be to those who hear them
for the first time yet sweeter to ua
than any we shall hear until we listen
to some warbling angel In the oven
ture to that eternity of blissful har-
monies we hope to enjoy But why
should I tell lies? If my friends love
me It Is because I try to tell the
truth I never heard but two voices
in my life that frightened me by their
sweetness — Holmes
What AIbcmt Brain Food?
This Question Came Up in the Recent
Trial for Libel
A "Weekly” printed some criticisms of the
claims made for our foods It evidently did
not fancy our reply printed In various news-
papers and brought suit for libel At the trial
some Interesting facts came out
Some of the chemical and medical experts
differed widely
The following facts however were quite
clearly established:
Analysis of brain by an unquestionable au-
thority Geoghegan shows of Mineral Salts
Phosphoric Acid and Potash combined (Phos-
phate of Potash 291 per cent of the total
633 of all Mineral Salts
This is over one-half-
Beaunls another authority shows “Phos-
phoric Acid combined” and Potash 7344 per
cent from a total of 10107
Considerable more than one-half of Phos-
phate of Potash
Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium
and Phosphorus (which join and make Phos-
phate of Potash) is considerable more than
one-half of all the mineral salts In the food
Dr Geo W Carey an authority on the con-
stituent elements of the body says: “The
gray matter of tho brain is controlled entirely
by the inorganic cell-salt Potassium Phosphate
(Phosphate of Potash) This salt unites with
albumen and by the addition of oxygen creates
nerve fluid or the gray matter of the brain
Of course there is a trace of other salts and
other organic matter in nerve fluid but Potas-
sium' Phosphate is tho chief factor and has
the power within itself to attract by its own
law of affinity all things needed to manufac-
ture the elixir of life”
Further on he says: "The beginning and end
of the matter is to supply the lacking princi-
ple and In molecular form exactly as nature
furnishes it in vegetables fruits and grain
To supply deficiencies — this Is the only law of
cure”
The natural conclusion Is that if Phosphate
of Potash is the needed mineral element in
brain and you use food which does not contain
it you have brain fag because its daily loss Is
not supplied
On the contrary If you eat food known to
be rich In this element you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
brain-building
In the trial a sneer was uttered because Mr
Post announced -that he had made years of re-
search In this country and some clinics of
Europe regarding the effect of the mind on
digestion of food
But we must be patient with those who
sneer at facts they know nothing about
Mind does not work well on a brain that U
broken down by lack of nourishment
A peaceful and evenly poised mind Is neces-
sary to good digestion
Worry anxiety fear hate St c fee directly
interfere with or stop the flow of Ptyalin the
digestive Juice of the mouth and also inter-
fere with the flow of the digestive Juices of
stomach and pancreas
Therefore the mental state of the Individual
has much to do (more than suspected) with
digestion
This trial has demonstrated'
That Brain is made of Phosphate of Potash
as the principal Mineral Salt added to albu-
men and water
That Grape-Nuts contains that element as
more than one-half of all its mineral salts
A healthy brain Is Important If one would
"do things’’ In this world
A man who sneers at "Mind” sneers at the
best and least understood part of himself
That part which some folks believe links ua to
the Infinite
Mind asks for a healthy brain upon which to
act and Nature has defined a way to make a
healthy brain and renew It day -by day as It
Is used up from work of the previous day
Nature's way to rebuild Is by the use of food
which supplies the things required
