The Confederate Maritime-rat to Remain.
Baimirorm, Dec. lit—The Murray Con
federate association of Baltimore, which
erected a monument on the Gettysburg
battlefield last year, which action a Pitts
burg G. A. it post denounced two or three
months ago, has received a letter from John
M. Knuth, secretary of the Gettysburg
Battlefield association, assuring them that
his association had undergone no change
o! opinion as to the propriety of having
Confederate monuments on the field, and
that the Murray association shaft would
remain where it was. The Battlefield aseo
elation, he says, meant what it said when it
invited Confederates to mark their positiomi
at Gettysburg.

slight injuries. The fireman of the other
train jumped, receiving fatal injuries, and
the engineer of the same train remained on

:n “Jeroboam the son of Nobel." Over
twenty times is this mayhem we now meet
for the first time, thus mentioned in the two
boohsol Kimaod in most places it is as
"Jeroboam, them of Ncbat. who made ls-
rael to sin.” lie botanic the first king of the
ten tribes and set up the two golden calvg
at Dan and lletlwl for Israel to worship.
(Chap. xii, 26—30.) Ills home, according to
Young. signifies “Enlarger,” and he was cer-
tainly an expert in the way of enlarging the
sins of Israel.
“Even he lifted up his hand against the
king." At the beginning of Solomon’s reign
it was written that the Lord his (led had
given him rest on every side. and that there
was neither adversary nor evil «current
(chap. v, 4), but now all is changed.
27, 28. "And this was the cause that he
lifted up his hand against the king. ” The
most of our lesson today is an opening up of
this sentence, showing that Jeroboam‘s rebel-
lion wasof Jehovah. Wears first told that
as Solomon built and repaired «rims works
amounted tlratJreoboanr wnsan industri-

found him in the way." Here is another man
whom we now "rent for the first time; but
what a contrast to Jcroboam, for Ahijah
is twice caller] by that exalted name, “Serv-
ant of Jehovah (chapters xrv, is; xv, 299,
and he lasers the word of Jehovah. As to
Jeroboani, be is found in the way, no doubt
in the way of industrious sort ice in the posi-
iiou in which Solomon bud exalted him,
little thinking that he was also in the we) to
a kingdom. Literally he was in the way out
of Jerusalem, and probably on the way to
oversee the Work nppr'niutcd to him. He is
clad in a new garment, and as the prophet
meets him he seizes tho garment, rcnds it in
twelve pieces and hands ten of the pieces to
Jeroboam, by this rather startling but very
srgniflcant act assuring him that tho Loni

Solomon and give them to him.
82%. “Because that they have foI'x-Iken me
e 't t and have not walked in my ways."
Pinning over, for the present, the verses ro
Kerr-lug to what God will do for David's qul
Jerusalem's sake, we continue the story of
Jcrnboam. and liercis the reason why tou-
twelftbs of the kingdom is to pass from Solo
mon to him. Wisdom and her ways give
pence, prosperity and true buppimass; but if
We forsake wisdom and give ourselves to
folly we must. expect to reap as we sow. We
wonder how Silomon, who had been so es-
] ceeding abundantly blessed by the Living and
True God, could turn from Him to the abom—
inations of the worship of idol-z. but we have
already been told that it WAS incense he

gifts abused become curses instead of Mom

35. “I will take thokingdom outof his son 5
hand and will give it unto thee, even ten
tribes." As I notice the ten or more “I
wills" of (lod in this lesson and wonder why
God should select Jeroboam, I can only
think of the words of the Spirit' to Dan. iv
ll}, 35: “The Most High ruleth in the king-
dom of men and giv stir it to whohmoever He

army of Heaven and among the inhabitants
of earth; and none can stay ills bond or say

(lnm from Sulmnon's son; it is oil the Lord‘s
doing from first to last.
37. “And I will take thee, and thou shalt
reign according to all that thy soul Ilcsireth,
and shalt be king over lsmel." Here is a se-
cret of the been laid open by the great
member of hearts, who is often pleased to
give us whnt our hearts desrre that thus He
may prove us to see whether we will walk in
His ways or not. We read that Solomon
gave the queen of Sheba all her desire, but
here is a greater than Solomon granting to
Jeroboam his soul's desire; and the same Lord
issaying to us: “Whetsocv er ye shall risk in
My Name, that will i do that the Father may
be glorified in the Son.‘
83. “If thou wilt hcnrlscn, ’ " “ Iwill
be with thee." Not only is the Kingdom
promimd to Jcroboom, but God offers to
make it permanent if he will only be obe~
dieiit. The Lord Himself is the true King,
and He will establish any one who will truly
represent Him by obeying liis commands.
walking in His ways, and doing right in His
sight.
lit, 3!, 36. “For my servant David's sake."
We return now to the reason why the whole
kingdom was not to be rent from Solomon,
and we find this as the first reason. Four
times in this lesion Jehovah speaks of him as
“David my scrvnnt," and twice we find the
expression "For my servant David's sake,"
and it is also said, “because he kept my com-
mandments and my statutes." This was the
manner of David’s life, taken as a whole, rind
his love for the statutes and commandments
