CHE Omrl dynasty of Israel was a successful one according to world ly standards, but a failure from the Divine standpoint. Omrl, a great general, succeeded to Israel's throne after the death of Jeroboam. He was very sue ooRsful and conquered ttio Monbltes, to the East of t ho Jordan, putting them un der an annual tribute of the floeco of two hundred thousand sheep. He built a new Capital, the city of Samaria, and success fully outranked Jeroboam as a misleader of his people, along religious lines. Ac cording to Israel's Covenant with the Al mighty there was but the one Levltical priesthood and the one holy temple of Je hovah's presence for the whole people of Israel, and it was at Jerusalem, As worldly wisdom guided Jeroboam to com pletely separate the ten tribes from the two tribes by establishing new places of worship and simplifying the worship and symbolizing Cod by a golden calf, so the samn spirit of worldly wisdom suggested to Omrl a still fur ther departure from God and a still closer ap proach to the cus toms and Idolatry of surrounding na tions. Omri died, or. ac cording to the rec ords, "Omrl slept with h(s fathers." We are not from this declaration to draw the Infereneu that as a willed man ho went to eternal torment and that tin; na ture of the tor ment Is sleep. Nei ther are we to think of Omrl us saintly and go!!'!; to heaven and to imnglno that thoxo In heaviii arc asleep. Neitheraro we to think f him .1 Moubile lock of tlicep. as having Rom- to Purgatory ur.il that the experiences there are drowsy. We must leave all such un scriptural notions respecting the dead, good and bad. We must come back to the IJItito ami from it lenm that all who die, like St. Stephen (Acts 7:0)), fall aitlcep to await the morning of the resurrection, when the Redeemer will call all forth from the tomb (John 5:2S, 29, Kevv Ver.) Ahab and Jezebel Ahab's name signllles, "Like hfs fa ther." And surely ho was! Ills name was appropriate. His was a reign still more successful in unrighteousness. For twenty-two years he devoted himself to the further undermining of true religion and to, the introduction of the worst forms of licentious, heathen Idolatry. He was greatly assisted In this course by his wife Jezebel, the daughter of the King of the Sidoninns. Her name signifies f Katie; yet she used her great Influence with her husband and throughout the na tion for the furtherance of unchastity In connection with the orgte known as the religious rite and ceremonies, connected with the worship of Baal and of "Ashto rcth." the female divinity worshipped. Lessons Here For Us All civilized people are deeply Interest ed in earthly governments and their suc cess. We all crave social and financial prosperity. Nevertheless It la still true that prosperity isi Injurious in proportion as it separates the people from the Divine arrangements and the blessings which thereto attach. Only righteousness can truly exalt a nation. Every form of ini quity is Injurious, however it may at the time seem contrary to this. Ours is the day of the greatest worldly prosperity this earth has ever known. But alas! it Is not a day of religious prosperity. On the contrary, there never wus a time when unbelief In a personal God and In the Bible as his revelation was so general amongst Intelligent people. Our church edifices are becoming temples of fashion, concert and lecture halls, while the real worship which alone Is pleasing to the Almighty is far removed. The worship of Mammon, the bowing to the golden ealf, the sacrificing of lives to' the acquirement of wealth, belong to our day as truly as to tint of Ahab but on a more refined scale and therefore the more deceptive and Insidious. Continually we find that God uses the wrath of man to praise him. The effect of the prosperity of Ahab and Jezebel was two-fold: it en snared and de graded one class, while It aroused and separated from Itself anoth er class those who worshipped God In spirit and In truth. Such left the ten tribe kingdom and Its Idolatry and Identified them selves with the two-tribe kingdom of Judah and ita true worship. So It Is today. The success of Mammon, the re jection of the Bi ble by the Higher Critics and their lordly boasts of ability to give us something better than the Word of God, and In gen eral Mammon wor Ahab, Jezebel and JVtfah ship, Is awaken as types. ing the more saint ly people of our day to separate them selves and to say In the language of Joshua, "Choose ye this day whom ye will serve; as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Antitypical Ahab and Jezebel Aa all Christian students know, Jezebel, Ahab and Elijah were used of the Lord as types, and their experiences foreshad owed much greater things In the experi ence of the Church, spiritual Israel, dur ing this Gospel Age. Ahab typilled civil power. Jezebel typi fied a religions system. The Improper marriage- of Ahab and Jezebel, contrary to the Jewish Law, typified the marriage or union of Church and State. The prog ress of evil under this union is portrayed In the Book of Revelation; where Jezebel Is specially mentioned by name. (Rev. t:20-23.) The Lord charged, that the anti typical Jezebel, the Church system, waa suffered or permitted to teach and seduce his people from the proper course ' of Christian livmg. ' The same Scrlpturea represent Elijah, who was persecuted by Jezebel, through her husband, aa a type of true believers of this Age persecuted by a f".Mo Church through the arm of civil power. 1a v -... - j VIII. -Might Have Been Mayor Hilda the Helper now and then was wont to say to women, "Let us C0-0PEF.ATE WITH MEN and be riuht in the swiaiinia'." ?rnW' So pleased were all th? men r-it!i her they saw SHE .

City Children's Farm Gardens School children in several large American citit-s iwv lately beeu buy ing uiux-u pleasure in planting their gardeu crops.

De Witt Cliiitiui park wus divided into plots of (jriiuiid twelve feet long and four feci wide It Is surprising how many vrjietnbles can be ruisod on so small 11 bit of land. Bach of the young fiiniu-r. hoy or girl, received one of the tiuy pil'drns to till. They were tuuglil in classes how to plant the seeds raid what kind of vegeta bles these would product. You don't know bow delighted mid liitppy the children were Some of them had never seen even u l':in or an onion growing. A small wooden house was built In the park, which luey culled u farm house. Moi'iiiu.i glories and other beautiful vines were planted around tbe porch, mul ihe liule house looked like a fairy's palace In that palace were held the classes. The teacher of botany en me 10 instruct the young gardeners In Hint wonderful branch of nature study. They found out. too. what Insects mid worms are hurtful to plants and how to get rid of these. They learned that some seeds have to be eoveivd deeply, while others are merely scan "red over the ground mid have earth sprinkled over them. The fanners were from nine to twelve yeiir old. They were told what vegetables wmild grow in their ground and then ere allowed to have con siderable 1 h-ici' as to what they would raise. Anii.ng iliiiigs planted were peas, beans, radishes, com. lettuce, on ions, earrois and tomatoes. When an CLASS IN FARMING. early crop, like lettuce or radishes, was taken out of the ground a later oue, like turnips, was put 11 its place, and thus, like a good gardener, the boy or girl got two crops in a season oft" the same soil. A great time they all had ou the harvesting days, when they dug on ions, pulled the sweet eoru, gathered tomatoes and rut the cabbage beads off the stalks. They were allowed to take tbe vegetables borne for tbe fain ily table. His Spelling. Little Wee had been brought up to be polite and not to Interrupt when there was ccnipany unless It was very Important. He always remembered this and kept very quiet. One day there were visitors, who talked and stayed and stayed until poor little Wee was tired, ile wished them to go. but not for anything would be let them see this. All of a sudden be thought of a nice plan that his mother and father knew wbpn he was too little to spell and they did uot want to hurt his feel Ings. So iu a little pause lu the ladies' talk Wee said, in his prettiest way. "Mother, please can't we be a-l-o-n-e?" And all the visitors laughed and kissed him goodby and gave him his good mother all to himself. Youth's Com panion. An Intelligent Bird. At a gentleman's house iu Stafford shire, England, the pheasants are fed out of those boxes the lid of which rises with the pressure of the phensant standing on the rail In front of tbe box. A water hen. observing this, went and stood upon the rail as soon as tbe pheasant bad quitted it: but, tbe weight of the bird being insufficient to raise the lid of tbe box. so as to enable It to get at tbe corn, tbe water hen kept jumping on the rail to give additional Impetus to its weight. This partially succeeded, but not to the sat isfaction of the sagacious bird, which therefore went off. and. soon returning with a bird of Its own species, the united weight of the two had the de sired effect, and the successful pair enjoyed the benefit of their Ingenuity.
