Micaiah Speaks the Truth. ^
Lesson for July 29th. 1 Kings 22 .
Golden Text: 1 Kings 22:14.
This is ? day of int?rnational con
ferences. It is the custom, in sonic
quarters, to disparag# such gather
ings because they seem to accom
plish so little. It
must be -remem
bered, however,
that the very fact
that nations as
semble for pur
poses of consulta-,
tion is, in itself, a
great gain. And
the more they get
together the more
the technic of
their negotiations
is improved.
Now the lesson
admits us in#o the*
presence of two Cfcw. E Dunn ^ i
ancient monarchs engaged in con- 1
sultation. Here we have an early 1
example of international coopera- 1
tion. It is aH the more illuminating ?
because the two men were opposites J
in character. One of them, Jehos- j
haphat, king cjf Judah, was a good
ruler who carried out the religious
reforms of hit high-minded father
Asa. The other was Ahab, one of
the worst of the kings of Israel de- j
spite his energy and courage.
Wa9 this alliance an evil? The
aoostles of isolation would answer M
"Yes! Samaria, with its corrupt
court, was no place for a statesman
' with the decent impulses of Jeho
shaphat." And they would con
tinue, in the same strain, to argue r
against the entrance of the United
States into the World Court or the
League of Nations.
It seems clear, however, that the
agreement between the two king
doms was fundamentally a good. It
certainly ended the long hostility
between them. To be sure, the joint
military adventure against Syria
came to a sad ending at the battle
of Ramoth-gilead. The candid
Micaiah spoke the blunt truth in
foretelling this disaster to allied
armies. In?i??trast to YfTWi lying

A MASTER GATHERS PUPILS
TO all the temptations Jesus answered, "(let thee behind
me, Satan," ^nd He emerged from the wilderness with a
clear-cut picture pf His#mission and His program. He saw
very 'juickly that He could not adopt John's methods. John
was am ascetic, a reformer, a denouncer. Jesus
was fond" of people, loved social life and liked
to be in a crowd. John said, "Flee from the
wrath to come." Jesus said, "(iod is your
Father, and has made the world as a happy
place *or flis children." The two messages
were complementary, but, while the friendship
of the cousins was firm and their respect for
each other deep and true, they were utterly
unlike in 'personality. Each must speak the
truth as'he saw it and in his own chosen way.
ft was an age when philosophers in cities
Bruce Barton like Athens and religious teachers in Palestine
moved about out-of-doors and gathered as they went.
It is interesting to remember that the name by which Jesui
most liked to be called was "Master," not a master of servant!
but a master of pupils, a schoolmaster. And the name H?
gave to His associates, "disciples," means simply "pupils."
The story of the vray in which He gathered these men is
full of interest. He seemed to have no studied method. "As
Jesus passed by" He, called one and another, saying, "Follow
me," and the man who was called left Tiis fishing, or whatever
his work might be, and followed instantly.
The signiheant thing to remember is His amazing faith in
plain ordinary . folk. He did not look over the Blue Book or
the Directory of Directories, saying to Himself, "This is the
most important mission that any one ever undertook ; I must
have the very best and ablest assistants." On the contrary,
it was almost as though He said, "If I can pick up about a
dozen honest chifps who are physically strong enough to
stand hardships and simple enough to let their faith carry
them beyond intellectual doubte, I can trust this message of
mine to their keeping and feel sure that it will never die out.
That supreme confidence in common humanity sets Jesus
apart from most other leaders who have attempted large
things, and the magnificent way in which His faith was justi
fied is one of the.linest proofs of His divinity.
It will be worth while to Jook briefly at these pupils of His.
How many of its know anything at all about them, or could
even write a list of their names? The first two of the per
manent disciples were John, the son of Zebedee (with whom
was afterward associated Jiis brother, James), and Andrew.
And- ev ?' was" apparently the sort of man who likes to dis
cover good things and then tell them to a brother or to some
one else with more initiative than himself. That is the fate
of m.-wir of the world's most useful characters.
