Golden Text: Proverbs xvi.‘
18—Gommentary. '
. 1. "Rehoboam—Shechem—all Israel—to
make Him King.” Such are the words and
phrases in this verse demanding our atten-
tion; but let ,us remember that we are reading
the word of the Lord, and the Holy Spirit
in this word is ever bringing before us per-
sons, places and events which show us God
honored or dishonored, God manifest and
glorified, or the adversary manifest . and God
despised. Rehoboam was, so far as we know,
the only son of Solomon,and therefore heir to
the throne. His name, according to Young,
Signifies “Freer of the people,” but he
proved tube a great oppressor. Shechem
was a city of the Levites, also a city of
refuge, situated in Mount Ephraim- It was
the place of Abraham’s first altar in Canaan,
and the Lord’s first appearanceto him in that
promised land. There also Jacob bought a
field and erected an altar, calling it “God,
the God of Israel.”
seph was buried after the conquest of the
land by Joshua (Gen. xii., 6, 7' , xxxiii.,'20'
Josh. xxiv., 32). There all Israel gather
to make Rehoboam King of Israel, but God
had determined that Solomon’s son should
not be King of all Israel (chap. xi., 31436),
'and not all Israel nor all nations can over-
throw the purpose of God. -
3. “J eroboam and all the congregation of
Israel came and spake unto Rehoboam.” This
seems outwardly all fair and submissive, but
J eroboam cannot have forgotten the promise
of the Lord by the prophet Ahijah (xi., 29-
31), and he is only quietly awaiting the de-
velopments which shall give him the ten
tribes for his kingdom. -
4. "Thy father made our yoke grievous;
.make thou the grievous service * * *
lighter, and we will serve thee.” This, too,
seems fair and reasonable, and it looks as if
all might be well with Rehoboam if-he will
only do right. The grievous service and
heavy yoke of Solomon was a fulfillment
of the word of the Lord by Samuel when. the
peopl? demanded a King ([Sam. viii., 11-18).
Things always turn out as God says.
5. “Depart yet three days, then come
again to me.” The third day in Scripture is
the day of resurrection and life and deliver-
ance (Hos. vi., 2; John ii., 19; Matt. xvi, 21),
but only for such as follow on to know the
Lord. Neither Rhehoboam nor J eroboam
nor their followers were at this time much
concerned about following the Lord, as their
after conduct plainly testifies.
7. “If thou wilt be a servant unto this
people this day, * * * and speak good words
to them, then they Will be thy servants for
ever.” If he would only seek the welfare and
peace of his people, as did those Kings who
soughtto do right in the sight of the Lord,
and as did Mordecai (Esth. x., 3) at a later
period, then all would be well. But this was
not his spirit. He had not the spirit of the
King of Kings, who though He was rich, yet
for our sakes became poor; who laid aside
His glory, and for His people’s sake became
a servant, saying: “I am among on as one
who serveth" (II Cor. viii., 9; uke xxii.,
3.7
8. “But he forsook the counsel of the old
. * “ * and consulted withthe young
men.” The old men had stood before Solo-
mon, his father, but these young men had
grown up .with himself and stood before him.
hey would be more to his mind, and being
his fellows he would be more apt to listen
to them. Just as young men to-day are
more likely to heed the adVice of their com-
panions than the advice of their seniors, who
are too often deemed by them as fossils of a
past age, having very antiquated ideas. ‘
9. “And he said unto them, What counsel
ye?” If he had only cried to, the Wonderful
Counselor, ‘jShew me Thy ways, 0 Lord;
teach me Thy paths” (Ps. x'xv., 4), how well
it would have been with him. But be pre-
formed an arm of flesh, and proved iirhis ex-
perience the truth of the “Thus saith the
Lord, Cursed be the man that trusteth in
man, and-maketh flesh his arm, and whose
heart departeth from the Lord” (Jer. xvii,
5). .
10. “My little finger shall be thicker than
my father’s loins.” This is part of the an-
swer which the young men instructed him to
give to the people. The loins are significant
of strength as in Job xl.,16; Prov. xxxi., 17;
l he case of Solomon it was strength of

up
be thicker ‘01.» heavier than my
a strongest; or the heaviest yoke
which my father put upon you shall seem
light when compared with what I will do to
. you. My lightest yoke shall be heavier than
the heaviest of my father.”
11. “My father hath chastised you with
whips, but 1 will chastise you with scorpions.”
So they would have him draw his people to
mm by encouraging him to act not as a. shep-
herd of his pcoyle. but as a cruel taskmaster,
a veritable Egyptian Pharaoh. Such insane
advice one would think enough to slay itself
and those who gave it.
12. “So J eroboam and all the people came
to Rehoboam the third day as the king had
appointed.” It is a dark day for Israel.
They are to hear no comforting words; their
yoke is not to be lightened nor their service
made easier. And yet this man was king on
the throne of David, ruling over the Lord’s
1 ~eople. A sorry representative of Jehovah
surely he was. How he belied his God and
acted as a true representative of the great
oppressor, the father of lies, whom he served.
13. “And the king answered the people
roughly." “Roughly” is the same word that
in verse 4 is translated “grievous.” Joseph
also spoke “roughly” to his brethren. (Gen.
x111., 7, 30), but in his case it was only cut-
ward roughness, yet well deserved, while
back of it there was forgiveness and love.
Jesus, the true King of Israel, aIWays had
compassion upon the people, and only spoke
roughly to self righteous hypocrites, who
richly deserved it. He was all love, but love
despised brings wrath.
14. “And spake to them after the counsel
of the young men.” 'Wicked counselors are
a great curse, and are all in the service, for
the time at least, of the first wicked coun-
selor, who in the garden led Adam and Eve
astray. It is bad enough when friends give
ev1l counsel, but how much worse when one’s
own mother is the evil counselor (Gen. xxvii.,
13; II Chron. xxii., 3). '
15. “The cause was from the Lord.” Back
of all these apparently ordinary circumstan-
ces God was working. He cannot do evil, but
He often permits evil to take its course, and
yet overrules all for the good of His people.

Jeroboam their king; there was none
that followed the house of David but the
tribe of Judah only. And when Rehoboam
would have gone forth to subdue the rebels
God by His servant forbade him, and he h d
to be'content to have it so (vs. 2024). T us
the highly privileged nation was divided be-
cause of their sins. and to this day they have
never been as a whole nation reunite l.
17. “But as for the children of Israel
which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam
reigned over them.” Not for his sake, nor
Solomon’s, 'but for David’s sake was this one
triheleft him (XL, 13, 36); and because the
scepter should not depart from Judah till
Shiloh should come (Gen. xlix., 10). Shiloh

‘- Emerson on Newspapers. ' 3
., In 'his book of conversations fwith‘
Emerson, 'Mr. Weedbury reports-the.-
-seer as saying that» “newspapers have.
done- much to abbreviate expression
and so to improve style.” " " ' '
This is“a. hard saying” for the. ac-
ceptance of "those small essayists and-
othersuperior persons who decry the
newspapers; for one of their most-fre-
quent complaints is that the newspaper
writer, in the haste incident to his
work, discards the graces of rhetoric
,and misleads the popular'taste with
crude, thought and unpolished ut-
terance. "
But Emerson was . right and the
superior persons were'wrong. The in-
fluence of newspapers upon style has
been good, not bad. It has donemuch.
as Emerson says, “to abbreviate utter-
ance,” but that is not the whole of its
service. It has taught the value of sim-
plicity in expression, of directness of
style, and of clear thinking, as the con-
dition of clear writing. It has made
men understand the advantage of‘say-
ing what isvto be said and then stopping.
It has banished the enordium’ and the
peroration 'of literature.
The assumption that the higher kind
of newspaper writing is hasty and slip-
shod is- unfounded. The newspaper
writer writes rapidly, but his mind'has
been trained to think rapidly and to
give quick formulation to thought. His
mind is akin to that of the extem-
poraneous orator. _
In miner reporting, done by novices,
the style in often faulty and the “dicta-
tion sometimes had, especially where
there is not' time for editorial revision;
but the editorial writing and the more
carefully done news and special articles
of any great modern newspaper will
compare, very favorably indeed with
our time, in point of vigor and cor-
rectness of form. ,
It is fortunate that this is so, because
the newspapers are now the chief
teachers of the pe0ple in this as in
other matters. They are much more
widely read than any other form of
literature read at all by the majority of
the peOple.
In this particular the tendency of the
newspapers is to grow steadily better..
They more and more insist upon the
best educational qualifications on .the
part of the writers. They more and
more seek to enlist scholarship and
culture in their service, and men of the
highest literary qualifications are more
inclined to seek newspaper utterance
as that which gives largest power and
influence to the messages they hour.
If Emerson had come to manhood in
our day he would have found his true
vocation in a newspaper office. It is a
pity that he did not have that oppor-
tunity to reach hundreds of thousands
with a wisdom that was uttered only to
a chosen fem—New York World.
Sleep for School Children.
We all know how much greater is
the need of children for sleep than of
grown persons, and how necessary for
their good it is to be able fully to sat-
isfy this need; but'hOw great it' is gen-
erally at any particular age of the child
is very hard to define exactly. The
amount varies under different climatic
conditions. In Sweden, we consider a
sleep cf eleven or twelve hours neces-
and of at least eight or nine hours for
the older ones. Yet the investigations
have shown that this requirement lacks
.111th of being- met, in all the classes,
man He; no ‘a ‘ a is ae’,av-r~
age, it is easy 0 perceive that many of
them must content themselves with
still less sleep. It is also evident from
the investigations that the sleeping
time is diminished With the increase of
the working hours from class to class,
so that pupils of the same age enjoy
less according as they are higher in
their classes. It thus appears con-
stantly that in schools of relatively
longer hours of work, the sleeping time
of the pupils is correspondingly shorter.
In short, the prolongation of the work-
ing hours takes place for the most part
at the cost of the time for sleep—«Pro-
fessor Key, in Popular Science

coast. The' 'coral grounds have been
worked since the middle of the sixteenth
century. , Other coral grounds are situa-
ted olf the coast of Sicily, Corsica, Sar-

More than five hundred Italian barks and
over four thousand two hundred persons
are engaged in the coral fisheries}; Be-
sides these French and Spanish barks

The Italian fishermen pay a high roy—
alty to the French Government for their
right offishing for coral on the Algerian
coast. There are more than sixty coral
workshops in Italy, forty of which are
. in the little tOWn of Torre del Grcco, at
the foot of Vesuvius. These shops give
employment to about nine thousand per-
sons, chiefly women and children.—

Birds Drowned by Mussels.
Birds, such as ducks,‘ are sometimes
caught by mussels and drowned; or if
the mussel or other bivalve is not fast-
ened to, the bottom or securely buried in
the mud, , the bird flies away with the
shell-fish adhering to its foot to some
otherstream or pond, and in this way
the . individuals of a species may be
.widely distributed. Such cases may be
merc'common 'than supposed. A cor-
respondent of Nature on the coast of
Queensland noticed a sand-piper on a
muddy shore just covered by the rising
tide which seemed to be striving in vain
to rise. “I could not think,” he writes,
‘fhow the bird had become caught; but
on coming .up to it, I found that one
claw of one foot was firmly held by' a
large cockle (about 14x2 inches).”——
