His reign was one characterized by the same courses of evil a& those of Jero boam and Nadab. He was succeeded 1^-lah, who oc^'upied the throne for two years, when in the micst of drimken debaucliery, he was Zimri, who in turn seized the throne, which he was only able to hold tor seven days. The popular feel ing was against him and the people gat he I cd around Omri, the captain of the ho&t, who proceeded against Zimri who went into his palace set it on iiie, and thus died by his own hand. allowing this there was a division among the people of Israel, some ot mem desiring to make Tibni king but Omri gained the victory and secured the throne, reigning over Israel for twelve years, continuJ.ug in the evil ways of Jeroboam. He was succeeded by his son Ahab the most terrible incarnation of all that was evil in the history of the nation. His reign was made more terrible by his marriage with Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal the king of the Zldonians, whom he associated witli himself in the gov ernment of the people. The story of their united reign is perhaps the dark est and most terrible in the whole history of the northern kingdom. Tho teaching: The teaching of the les&on necessa rily centers around Omri and Ahab, two singularly strong m.en, and there fore men who, being themselves entire ly out of harmony with the will of God, led the people into yet deeper depths of sin. It was during the reign of Omri that Samaria was made the capital of the northern kingdom, v/hich was an act, on the luiman level, of political sagac ity, for the situation of Samaria made it difficult to overcome, while it was yel an easily accessible centre from which to govern the people. Both these kings negotiated alliances with sur rounding nations, and strengthened these with Tyre and Judah by inter marriage. Judging simply from the stand-point of political cleveniess they did much to strengthen the position of the northern people, but the effect they produced upon the religious life was disastrious in the extreme. A new principle of evil was introduc ed by Ahab, that namely of the toler ation of a false religion for the sake of political advantage. As we have seen in previous lessons, the sin of Jeroboam consisted in the accommo dation of the true religion to political ends. This was evil enough, in that it destroyed the value of religion. Ahab added to that the sin of building a house for the worship of Baal, in Sa maria, erecting an altar there, and es tablishing his worship by side with that of the degenerate worship of Jehovah which existed as the result of Jeroboam’s action. It is impossible to conceive of any thing more disastrous that this ac tion, and it is not surprising that the chronicler declares, “Ahab did yet more to provoke Jehovah the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.” The golden text. The golden text chosen is singular ly applicable, for in no page of tlie hii^lory of Israel is it more clearly il lustrated than in that which records the rei?;ns of Omri and Ahab. The lirst part of it. that “righteousness exaltetli a naiiou.'’ is illus.u’ated indi rectly. Its chief value is its illustration of the truth that ‘‘&in is a reproach to any people.” There is the profoundest sisnilicance in the use of the word ‘•reproach" in this connection. The word is derived from a root which means to bow. or bend the neck. It is a pictorial word, and its meaning must always be interpreted by the setting in which it is found. The neck r.iay be bent in condescension, in courtesy, or in submission. Thus the word “re proach” here stands in direct contrast to the word “exalteth.” Righteousness makes erect: sin bows the neck. In the political disorganization and social chaos, God is seen directly immediate ly and definitely punishing sin. The people who bow the neck to low ideals of religion are compelled to bend the neck to the rule of the kings to whose immorality they stoop. A PIC JURE OF GOD (By S. D.

If his fath er had spoken to him roughly, or—had asked him out to the woodshed for a confidential interview, it would not have beon nearly so hard. Then, af ter a moment’s pause, the father said, “Phil, we’ll get down and pray." And the thing was getting harder for Phil all the time. He didn’t want to pray just then. And they got down. And the father poured out his heart in jjrayer. And the hoy knew as he lis tened how badly his father felt over his conduct. Somehow he saw him self in the mirror o fhis knees as he had not before. It’s queer about that mirror of the knee-joints. It jdoes show so many things. Many folks don’t like it. And they got up. And the father’s eyes were wet. And Phil’s ej'es were not dry. Then the father said: “My boy, there’s a law of life that where there is sin, there is suffering. You can’t detach those two things. Where there is suffering there has been sin somewhere. And where there is sin there will be suffering. You can’t get those two things apart. Now,” he went on, “you have done wrong. And I am in this home like God is in the world. So we will do this. You go up to the attic. I’ll make a pallet for you there. W’e’ll take your meals up to you at the regular times, and you stay up there as long as you have been a living lie—three days and three nights.” And Phil didn’t say a word. They went up stairs, the j)allet was made, and his father kissed his boy and loft him alone with his thoughts. Supper time came, and the father and mother sat down to eat. But they couldn’t eat for thinking about the boy. The longer they chewed upon the food, the bigger and drier it got In their mouths. And swallowing it was clear out of the question. Then they went into the sit ting-room for the evening. He picked up the evening paper to read, and she sat down to sew. Well, his eyes were not very good. He wore glasses. And this evening he couldn’t seem to see distinctly the glasses seemed blurred. It must have been the glass, of course. So he took them off and dean ed them very deliberately, and then found he had been holding the paper upside down. And she tried to sew. But the thread broke, and sh© couldn’t seem to get the needle threaded again. You could see they were both bothered. How we do reveal our selves in the details! By and by the clock struck 9, and then 10, their usual hour for retiring. She said. “Aren’t you going to bed?” And he said, “I think I’ll not go yet a bit; you go.” “No, I guess I’ll wait a while, too.” And the clock struck 11, and the hands worked around to ward 12. Then they arose, and lock ed up, and went to bed, but—not to sleep. Each one made presense to be asleep, and each one knew the other was not asleep. By and by she said (women are always the keener), “Why don’t you sleep?” And he said gently. “How did you know I wasn’t sleeping? Why don’t you sleep?” “Well, I just can’t for thinking of the boy up in the attic.” “That’s the bother with me,” he re plied. And the clock in the hall Struck 12, and 1 and 2. Still no sleep came. At last he said, “Mother, I can’t stand this any longer; I’m going up stairs with Phil.” And he took his pillow and went softly out of the room, and up the attic stairs, and pressed the latch-key softly, so as not to wake the boy if he were asleep, and tiptoed across the attic floor to the corner by tho window, and looked—there Phil lay, wide awake, with something glis tening in his eye, and what looked like coins on his cheeks. And the father got down in between the sheets with his boy, and they got their arms around each other’s necks, for they had always been the best of friends, father and boy, and their tears got mixed up on each other’s cheeks. Then they slept. And the next night when sleep time came the father said, “Good-night, mother. I’m going up stairs with Phil.” And the second night he slept in the attic with his boy. And the third night, again he said, “Mother, good night. I’m going up with the boy again.” And the third night he slept in the place of punish ment with his son. You are not surprised to know that today that boy, a man grown, is telling the story of Jesus with tongue and life of flame in the heart of China. Do you know, I think that father is the best picture of God ever I saw? (xod could not take away sin. It’s here. He could not take away suffer ing out of kindness to man. For suf fering is sin’s index-fing^r, saying, “There’s something wrong here.” So He came down in the person of His Son, and lay down alongside of man for three days and three nights. That’s God—our God. And beyond that He comes, and puts His life alongside of yours and mine, and makes us hate the bad, and long to be pure. To be on intimate terms with Him, to live in the atmosphere of His presence, to spend the day with Him— that is the the true normal life. Shocking Story of Cruelty 2 old London, Jan. 21.—A shocking story of cruelty was told recently by an eleven year old girl named Mary Rankin, at the Southwestern police court when her father, James Ran kin, a hair-dresser, living at Wood land road, Upper Norwood, and her stepmother, w’ere accused of ill- treating her. ‘The step-mother appears to have taken a vicious dislike to the child,” and Mr. Treharne, who prosecuted on behalf of the National Society for the I’revention of Cruelty to Chil dren, “and to have subjected her to severe ill treatment.” “She punched the child about the head and body, knocking her down: she burned her arms with a spoon specially heated for the purpose; she she turned her finger ends over until the blood oozed out, and she twnsted her wrists until one. of her arms was fractured. There were daily thrashing, and the child v;as seen with swollen eyes. “On one occasion the stepmother caught her wrists and applied a hot iron to them, riistering the flesh. On another, she heated a flatiron and ordered her to put out her tongue. As thee hild would not open her mouth the woman heated a large spoon and forced it between her lips blistering her tongue. “The tv/isting of the arms and wrists was repeated, causing the child excrutiating pain, and she ran away,but she was taken home again, and the ill-treatment was resunaed. The father struck her with a stick, and eventually she was found by the j society in a shocking condition and removed to a hospital.” The child herself described the treatment which she suffered. “My mother hit me with a walking stick on the back and hand,” she said. “Afterwards she used a cop per stick and boxed my ears. She heated an iron on the gas stove and told me to put out my tongue. Then' she burned my tongue with a spoon.” The case was adjourned. Munich Quits Dtinking Beer Munish, Jan. 21.—Of all places in the world, Munich shows a diminu tion in the consumption of beer. In 1907 returns revealed that each per son drank on the average 240 litres, a litre being equal to a pint and three-quarters. The figures for 1909 showed a diminution of 161 litres each, but it is said that the actual diminution was 40 litres. It may be observed that in this connection Munich produces about 25 per cent of the beer consumed in Bavaria. The other Important centres of the breweries are Nuremberg with three per cent, Augsbourg with seven per cent and Landshut with 5.9 per cent. PROHIBITS WOMEN TAKING PART IN BULL FIGHTING. Madrid, Jan. 21.—An edict prohibit ing women from taking part in bull fights has been issued by the Span ish minister of the interior. This practice was Inaugurated some time ago by a young woman named Re- verta, who achieved great success in the arena. The Secret Set vice Buieau May Soon be Put Out of Business ( By JONATHAN WINFIELD.) Washington, Jan. 21.—^W’ithin a year the long famous “Secret Service” bureau of the government, the great est crime directing force In the coun try, will probably be wiped out of existence. Not that Uncle Sam means to discontinue his crusade against counterfeiters and other violators of the Federal law, but for the sake of economy, this bureau will be absorbed by another department. There has been a constantly increasing demand for more secret agents from the de partment of justice. An investigation showed that in nearly every govern ment department a number of special agents w^ere detailed for duty. Often the work of one department overlaps that of another, and the con clusion was reached that there should be one central agency to which all matters of a detective nature should bo referred. For this and a number of minor reasons, it has been decided by President Taft, Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh and other inem bers of the cabinet that a great econ omy can be effected if these agencies are combined Into one bureau. Accordingly, Chief John E. Wilkie, of the Secret Service, has been de tailed to organize a bureau of special customs agents of the treasury de partment. After this branch of the service is thoroughly equipped for field duty, it is expected that what is now the secret service will be plac ed under the direction of Stanley E. Finch, of the department of justice. Later it is the intention, it is said, of combining all of the detectives or special agents into one bureau. The special agent’s department, of which Chief Wilkie is now the head will deal exclusively with customs matters. He is now hard at work get; ting the force into shape and is going the rounds of the leading cities and ports customs agents or special agents ing a number of reforms. When he gets through over-hauling the force there will be a more vigorous prob ing into the administration of the cus toms laws at the different ports than every before. The agitation for a special force of customs agents started about a year ago, when there was talk of a gene ral investigation into the administra tion of customs laws. The scheme has never been carried out. The New York Port has been vigor ously investigated and a number of de tectives are now engaged in finding out whether there is anything wrong at Boston, St. Louis and San Fran cisco. Examinations of accounts have also taken place at all ports, but spe cial investigations have been conduct ed at only a few. All orders to the customs agents will pass through Chief Wilkie’s hands, and he is to be primarily re sponsible for everything. Heretofore, orders have gone through various officials before reach ing the agents and responsibility for error has never been satisfactorily fixed. Hereafter, there will be no such chance for evasion. The agents will be responsible to Wilkie, and the men will have no opportunity to object to work ass-igned them, because it is in conflict with an order someone else has given. Contrary to the old order of things, the new regime will keep the men “moving.” No agent will be allowed to settle down in any locality. Hence tho new service has already received the name of “flying squadron.” It’s members will be sen to any port where there is the slightest sus-picion of crookedness or irregularitiy in cus toms and will even go to Paris or London to watch things. Once the “flying squadron” arrange, ment is worked out it will prove a terror to those who seek to defy the customs laws, or evade them in any fashion, or to the official who con nives at smuggling. In commenting on the new order of things. Chief Wilkie says that “when the customs agents are fully prepared to take the field a repetition of the recent New York customs frauds will never occur. Undervaluation frauds will be an unheard of thing, and at tempts of society women and o'thers to smuggle into this country dutiable purchase! made abroad will complete ly disappear. “There will be no incentive for a person to break the customs law,” con tinued Chief Wilkie “and customs frauds will disappear because in the first place, such an action will be be neath people and in the second, smug, glers will know that a jail or peni tentiary sentence awaits them. “Heretofore, customs agents have been dealing with travelers on a plan that is too lenient. When the incom ing passenger arrives with a trunk full of dutiable articles, and tries to cheat the customs officials, he or she usually begs off, and except with re primand. Under the new scheme, when pas sengers make a declaration, it will have to stand. If the law is violated, they will be arrested for a breach of the customs laws, just as any offen der is arrested for a breach of the peace. “This new service is going to be very much on the job, and you can say that it intends to make a record not even second to that attained by the secret service.” While Chief Wilkie has been busily enaged in his new task the work of the secret service has not been inter- ferred with. It’s work is going on just as usual, appropriations for it’s continuance having been made by congress until the end of the fiscal year. The secret service was organized in 1811, w'hen the first reference was made to the bureau as a secret ser vice force. In 1861, however, congress made appropriations for the supres- sion of counterfeiting, which has been continued to this day. Now the service is to be placed under the su pervision of the bureau of investiga tion of the department of Justice, which will have permanent headquar- tr**s in the large cities of the coun try. These will be located at Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, El Paso, San Antonio, New Orleans, Kansas City, St. Louis, Denver, Buffalo, Chi cago, New York, Philadelphia aiid At lanta, Ga. "'he Chicago and New York offices have already been established with sixteen men each .These agents will be expected to do all kinds of detec tive work for the government, includ ing running dov-n counterfeiters, ap prehending criminals, and detecting all kinds of crime against the United States. In the establishment of permanent offices in the Federal building of the large citi' the department of jus- tic expects to save considerable mon ey. Now, when a case is to be investi gated in San Francisco, they have to pay the fare of one of the agents there and back. Under the new system to be inaugurated, they will merely have to telegraph their own head quarters. In connection with plans made by the department the work of investi gating the trusts is proceedings on the largest scale ever planned. Every big trust in the United States is be ing probed in an effort to separate the good trusts from the bad. In none of the ingestigations will there be any hasty action. The attorney general will have to be convinced whether the government can make out a case against a trust before prosecution is started. Conseque-Atly while all the men in the department of justice are very ac tive these days in looking after the trust situation, there will be no dis turbance of business. Good trusts need not fear the heavy hand of the law. The shake-up in the detective force of the government comes as a sur prise to many of those who have con- prise to many of those wiio have been connected with the department for years. In some quarters the contem plated changes have been denied, but from a general impression gathered from officials close in the confidence of the both Secretary MacVeagh and Attorney General Wickersham, it can be authoritatively stated that the change will be brought about gradu ally. According to one of the officials, the contemplated merging of the bureau of investigation of the department of justice and the secret service of the treasury will be one of the most ben eficial results of the present agitation for greater economy and efficiency. Franco-American Mystery is Ended Paris, Jan. 21.—Half a century af ter its inception, a Franco-American mystery has just been laid to rest. In 1857 a story was circulated here that a Frenchman named Pierre Baillet had died near Charlestown and had left a large fortune. Imme diately an army of Bailleta came for ward claiming the dead man as their long lost uncle. Inquiries were at once begun, the French consul at Charlestown making a search for records on the deceased Baillet in and around the citJ^ But it Avas not until the other day, 53 years after the m.an’s reported death, that the consulate was able to report officially that no Pierre Baillet had ever lived in or near Charlestown, and that consequently there could never have been any question of millions to be divided by his relatives. Man Left a Veiy Remaikable Will Vienna, Jan. 21.—A remarkable will was left recently by Fountz Bo- tor, a wealthy young bachelor and violent woman hater, who died in a Hungarian town. During his life the cause of his antipathy to women was never conjectured, but his cu rious will explains that he never mar ried because modern women have lit tle knowledge of the principles of cooking. In order that young girls might be taught how to prepare food in a civilized manner he left his entire fortune to the municipality for the purpose of establishing a free cooking school. That he bestows on his relatives the privilege of daiiy free dinners at the school is an ironical observation made by the tes tator. The bequest has been accept ed by the municipality. Smoking Hurts More in Wintei London, Jan. 20.—A notable phj'si- cian asserts that smoking effects people worse in winter than in sum mer, and he advises all smokers who find their health and mental faculties impaired in winter for no apparent reason to accept tobacco as the ex planation, and to smoke less fre quently during the cold months. To bacco is a very powerful drug, ac cording to this physician, and cannot be consumed in large quantities without a serious effect on the heart. It must be remembered that during the winter the heart has a great deal more work to perform than in the summer, for the cold causes the blood vessels to become pinched and small. It is thus less able to bear the extra strain put upon it by smoking. Southern Spot Cotton. Galveston, Texas, Jan. 21.—Spot cot ton steady; middling loc.

From Chailotte 2o Wilmington (From Wilmington Star.) For the purpose of visiting the var ious counties intersected and avising with the pi'oper officials as to the best materials to use an,i the methods of construction to be employed on the proposed AVilmington-to-Charlotte highway, Mr. C. C. Ahles. an oxjiert roadway engineer from the United States department of agriculture at Washington, spent the piist two days hare conl'erring v.ith those interested in the project and leaves on the early morning train today for Cronly, go ing thence to Whiteville. where road way building will be discusiied with the Columbus authorities. Mr. Ahles arrived in the city Sun day and Mcmday he vas taken by :\lr. \V. D. ]\iac,Millan, Jr., ‘the official pathlinder,’’ and Chairman D. .Mc- Eachern, of the New’ Hanovei- board of commissioners, over the causeway of the Brunswick Bridge ana Ferry Co., and over a part of tho pro’posed route Brunswick county. 'Phe ex pert gathered much data and made a number of observations w hich will lat er be embraced in a general report on the proposed route, which will be fur nished by the department for the in formation of those interested. The services of Mr. Allies were recently secured through the oflices of Hon. H. L. Godwin, congressman from this dis trict, and it is his purpose to visit each county along the proposed route, con ferring with officers interested in road building. It is expected that the en gineer wil’ e in this territory for ten days or twi. veeks, gathering data and making the very comprehensive in spection required. At Cronly this morning Mr. Ahles will be met by Mr. K. C. Council, president of the Coltimbus County Good Roads associa tion, who will take him over Colum bus county’s portion of the route. Oflicials of the Charlotte to Wil mington Highway Association believe that with the awakening of all por tions of the country Lo th(> necessity of good roads that tho Charlotte lo Wilmington Highway will be built. It is important just now that the coun ties interest themselves in the ques tion of good roads while the legisla ture is in session in order that any needed legislation may be secured. The people of this section are glRd to welcome Mr. Ahles on the im])ortant mission upon which he comes and hope that his efforts may not be in vain. Joseph G. Robin Examined.
