OBEDIENCE AND KINGSHIP
(Review)
Motto Text
"The King shall joy in thy stren-
And in thy salvation how greatly
shall he rejoice! "(Psalm 21:1)
Read Psalm 72.
The lessons in this quarter cover a
period of 121 years and the reign of
six kings. They have been intensely
interesting, and the review ought to
be easy and profitable to us all.
Absalom's egregious failure forms
the subject of the first lesson. It
illustrates the end of a selfish and un
holy ambition. Absalom was concern
ed only in his own personal interests.
In the second lesson we have the
annoiting of king Solomon. David,
though feeble and infirm nipped an
incipient rebellion in the bud, and
destroyed the hopes of another of his
selfish and ambitious sons. These
boys of David seem to have been des
titute of affection for their great
father. David was a wise king but
a poor father.
In the third lesson Solomon shows
his wisdom by asking for more. The
unwisest man among us is he who
thinks he is the wisest. Humility is
the trade mark of wisdom. Solomon
saw something in the world that was
better than money.
The dedication of the temple is the
theme of the fourth lesson. It was a
joyous occasion. It is always joyous
when a people complete a splendid
house of worship. It is a matter for
community rejoicing.
The fifth lesson tells us of the visit
of the Queen of Sheba. This vigorous
and intelligent queen traveled over a
bleak desert and a dangerous road, to
see and hear the wonderful king
whose fame had spread through her
kingdom. She was more than pleased
with what she saw and heard. She
made large gifts to Solomon who did
not need them. This is usually the
case. v '
In the sixth lesson we are told of
the kingdom torn in sunder. Solomon
had more wisdom than he applied.
His reign was marked by such luxur
ious splendor as Israel or the world
has never seen. Somebody had to pay
for all this splendor. The people were
oppressed by taxation to meet the
demands of the extravagant, court.
Solomon held the restless elements
together while he lived but at his
death the kingdom rent in twain.
Rehoboam the king of the north
ern tribes, consulted with the old
men, but rejected their counsel be
cause it did not suit him. Then-he
consulted with the young men and
accepted what they said because it
suited him. He failed to appreciate
the power of the people, and overesti
mated the rights of the royalty. . ' .
Jereboam bears the odious title of
the king who led Israel into sin. It
is bad enough to sin oneself it is
worse to lead others into sin.
The eighth lesson tells of the reign
of good King Asa. It is refreshing
to turn from the vile and wicked into
the presence of a good man. Ase be
gan the reformation, and although he
was not perfect, he feared and served
the Lord.
"God's care of Elijah" is the theme
of the ninth lesson. "Trust and
obey." No harm can befall him who
follows the line of duty. Ravens are
Cirri Of or? rf T .OTrl r faar XXia ooin
A destitute widow saves the prophet
from starvation, and at the same
time performs the -same service for
'..herself and her son. Why should a
Christian ever repine? r
Lesswu'ten gives us the wonderful
picture of Mt. Carmel and Elijah's
triumph over Ahab and his prophets.
"Faith is.v the Victory," The people
saw the folly of bowing before dumb
dead gods.
Elijah's failure appears in the
eleventh lesson. In the last lesson
he was on the Mount; here he is in
the valley of defeat and despair. How
like shuttle cocks we move from one
caw mu tv liiu j tiici , cLxj.ii. nix 5 wao
no reason for Elijah's cowardice. Nor
is there any reason for oars.
Our last lesson was that of tem-
, perence. Temperance in every thing
not only in wine and liquors, but in
all the things that go to make up life.
Benedad showed more than one trait
of intemperance ; take his demands
upon Ahab each and everyone of
them were intemperate. Of course
liquor was a strong hand in the for
ming of the strenous demands made
upon Ahab and it was also responsi
ble for the defeat of Benhadad.
AN IDEAL SCHOOL
Bingham Will Give Your Boy Health
at Bingham School, Mebane.
The average increase in height is
nearly two inches, in chest expansion
one and three-fourths inchQs, insize
of arm one and one-half inches, and
in weight between thirteen and
twenty pounds.
When school begins, the Physical
Director gives each boy a thorough
examination, and then all take the
regular gymnasium training, the
"setting-up" exercises, "Butt's Man
ual," and the military drill. This,
with enlivening music and enjoyable
out-of-door sports, such as tennis,
hockey, football, basketball and bicy
cling, gives your boy abundant exer
cise and brightness of spirit. Then
he is a growing young mind-worker
and needs enough sleep, of which he
has nine hours. Besides, he should
have an abundance and variety of
fresh, clean, nutrious food; . whole
some, well cooked and unadulterated;
this he also enjoys. In addition, the
students' rooms are sunny, of good
size, just two feet above the ground
and safe from fire, well lighted and
ventilated, comfortably furnished,
heated by open coal grates and ihof
oughly dry underneath.
Add pure water, fresh air, modern
sanitation, shower baths, electric
lights, fine drainage, regular hours,
careful attention paid to a boy when
indisposed, and pleasant home sur
roundings. Then recollect that the
mean annual temperature is 60 de
grees, which is mild, the elevation
nearly 700 feet, the rainfall only a
bout 46 inches per year and the cli
mated celebrated, and you know why
the place for many years has been
noted for its healthfulness and cases
of sickness are extremely rare.

PARKER, N. C; MAN
GETS QUICK RELIEF
W. R. Davenport Better After First
Dose of Remedy.
W. R. Davenport of Parker, N C
long suffered from a peculiar maiady
stomach. He sought treatment
with but little relief. At times it
seemed that he would have to give ud
hope. v
He took Mayr's Wonderful Remedy
and found immediate benefit. He
wrote : ,
"For years I have suffered from a
disease which puzzled doctors. They
termed it catarrh of the stomach, say
ing the onlyhope would be a change
of climate, and that in all probability
I would never get well. Then I heard
of your remedy. One bottle gave me
instant relief. It made me feel like a
new man. Your full course of treat
ments has about cured me. Several of
my friends have also been cured."
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives
permanent results for stomach, liver
and intestinal ailments. Eat as much
and whatever you like. No more dis
tress after eating, pressure of gas in
the stomach and around the heart.
Get one bottle of your druggist now
and try it on an absolute guarantee
if not satisfactory money will be re
turned, adv.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
It is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case
of Deafness (caused by catarrh) -that cannot be
cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circu
lars, free. - v., .
