So Ahab got 400 of his wicloed prophets to say they should go. But Je hoshaphat asked for a true prophet of God and Micaiah was brought whom Ahab hated because he always told the truth. (The International Uniform Ix*s- i son on the above topic for July 29 is I Kings, Chapter 22, especially verses 1-14, the Golden Text being berse 14. “What the Lord saith unto me, that will I speak”.) By DR. ALVIN E. BELL Are truth and right determined by ■ majorities or minorities? Is fidelity I to one’s conscience always* worth while? Does anything “just happen” in the providence of God? Is these such a thing as the retributive jus tice of Almighty God? These are some of the living practical suestions answered in this lesson from the lives of Kings Ahab and Jeho shaphat and God’s prophet Micaiah. A Good King in Bad Company When Jehoshaphat the good and godly king of Judah permitted him self to bed rawn into an alliance with the wicked andi Idolatrous King Ahab, the worst. Qf all tjie kingp of Israel, he . was ( “walking in -Die eouhsei Ahab wanted Jehoshaphat’s help in winning back from the Syrians part of his realm they had taken from him. Jehoshaphat, as his custom was, suggested that they insulre the will of Jehovah in the matter. Ahab sought to meet this condition by mak ing up in quantity wfhat hist fasle prophets lacked in quality, so he gath ered some four hundred of his prop hetic flunkies together to impress the pious Jehoshaphat with the weight of their advice. Their answer was the answer they knew Anab wanted them to give, and they spoke their little piece like school boys in recital: "Go up and prosper: for the Lord shall de liver it into the hand of the king.’’ Ahab thought it was fine! But Jeho shaphat asked Ahab: “Is there not here besides a prophet of the Lord that wem ight inquire of him?” A Good Prophet Speaks Up Ahab replied, “There is yet one man whom we may inquire of the Lord, Micaiah, the son of Imlah:'but I hate horn; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.” What a compliment paid Micaiah by his hatr ed and this explanation of it! ‘‘Woe unto you when all men speak well of you,” said Jescs to his disciples. Facing the two kings mounted on their thrones this lone prophet began by mouthing the identical words of the false prophets, probably mimick ing) their identical holy tone and solemn jestures: “Go up and prosper for the Lord shall dHiber it into thy hand.” Ahab caught the point of the lone prophet’s irony, so he shouted. “How many times shall I adjure thee that thou speak cnto me nothing but the truth in the name, of the Lord ?

To the king’s childish “I told you .so’’, the lone prophet replied by explain ing his false prophets, rosy promises of victory as a ‘lying ‘spirit” to entice Ahab into the judgment he so richly deserbed. The results of the battle vindicated the lone prophets revela tion. Ahab treacherously attempted to divert the Syrian attack from him self to Jehoshaphat, and almost suc ceeded until some unnamed soldier “drew his bow at a venture and smote the king of Israel”. The soldier took no aim, but God aimed it for him and it struck the mark and the dogs licked up Ahab’s blood fiom his chariot as Elijah had promised. It was the retri butive justice of God. In his provi dence nothing “just happens” even when men “draw bows and shoot ar rows at a venture”! « gLON WILL START ITS TERM SEPT. 4 Elon College, July. 27.—E10n College will begin its forty-sixth school year Tuesday, September 4, with the annual two-day freshman period.

Radicalism Being Curbed As Pendulum Swings Back (Continuea rrom i-age one.) Fascism in one form or another. The growth of.the Machine Age has creat ed tremendous problems in this coun try in recent years. It is now very evident that the brute force of unre strained capitalism must be curbed. Governments will gradually take over more and more of private business, but this will be a slow process and need harm no one who has his in vestments proper diversified. < Radicalism at Flood Tide Furthermore, jve must remember that the law of action and reaction applies not only in economics and physics, but also in human relations. Social trends move in cycles just as business trends move in cycles. Be cause the government is • momentarily in the driver’s seat does not mean that it will control business perman ently.

There will be an end to the Wash ington boom just as there was an end to the Florida boom and the Wall 1 Street boom. People will come to theii’ senses vohen they realize the CCC, TVA, OLC, FERA, etc., have all turned out to be lOU’s. The Ten Commandments and the multiplica tion table cannot be ignored for long. Already there s a feeling throughout the nation that the present socialistic experiments have gone far enough for the time being. I expect to see a con servative reaction from the brain trust’s alphabet building; otherwise this country may be forced to adopt some form of Fascism. Foresees Return to Conservatism I say the above merely because it will be absolutely impossible for our country, with capital and labor fight ing one another, with our curtailing of production and destruction of crops and with our lack of experienced lead ers, to compete with, foreign indus trialists operating efficiently under a dictatorship. With the situation set up as it now is in the United States, only higher tariffs can prevent a flood of European goods from coming into our country. Eventually, however, these higher tariffs would means the loss of almost-all of our foreign trade. Therefore, I believe that the great middle class of people will ultimately demand a return to conservative gov ernment in order to compete success fully with other countries and at the same time have people normally em ployed Os course, there are many things about cmservati ze eapit.i.irm w.iOh are contrary to the) teachings of Jesus. The wbrld, however, has been slowly getting better ever since He preached the great “Sermon on the Mount”. We should always use our influence to bring about more equal opportunities for all. Not only is this our duty to humanity, but our own life ani prosperity are safe only as othbrs enjoy similar privileges. Ul timately, the health and prosperity of each is dependent upon the health and prosperity of all. But in redistribut ing wealth and opportunities, we must not ignore the laws of reward and punishment. Obey Fundamental Laws The goal of President Roosevelt and his brain trust is right; but they must not attempt to reach that goal with out getting at the root of the trouble. Congress may pass laws distributing somed rug to stop pain; but the dis ease goes on just the same. Only great integrity, balanced budgets, sound currency, international and domestic cooperation, and increased production can eliminate unemployment. Surely there can be more goods to divide only as more goods are produced! Also, remember that permanent social changes are brought about not by . rajiicalskin Congress,, but by scientists in laboratories, preadherslin churches, and teachers in universities.
