(Finst Kings takes up Ithe record of the Hebrew people from the point where II - 'Samuel ". stops, beginning with the'-iold age of David and re- counting the glory of 4he reign of David's son, Solomon. Solomon's era was one of outward greatness but it ' contained seeds of dissension, Solomon 'married hundreds of wives, many of them being foreign princesses with , heathen outlooks, who set up their pagan shrines and. turned the pee pie of Israel from their allegiance to Jehovah.. The construction of temples, palaces, cities and other public Structures made ; the burden of labor and Itaxation very heavy and,, toward the end -of -Solo-1 , nym's reign, there were signs of the ' discontent and dissatisfaction of the people.. . . , - - Following the death: of Solomon, the twelve tribes of the Israelites as sembled to crown his son, Keboboam, . king. ' Before crowning their new ' king, however, the people asked Reho ' boam to give them some assurance of ease from their burdens. Asking' for 'three days to consider their request, Rehoboam wisely went to some of the older counsellors of bis father .and , they advised that he heed' the people's request. .' He then - consulted ' wane young men, with some, he had been reared, and they counseled him. thus: "Say unto Ithem, whereas my) father did lade you , 'with a heavy; yoke, I will add to your yoke; my father chas tised you' with whips, but J will chas tise you with scorpions." Thereupon he lost the greater part of his king dom. Ten of the twelve tribes, instead of accepting Rehoboam as their king, chose Jereboam, a member of the tribe of Ephraim, industrious and able, who had been- promoted bj Solomoa 4o a position1 of leadership 'among the many engaged in various public works. The resulf was a division.-of the kingdom, . Jereboam becoming king of the north- em ten tribes which inherited most of the sacred places of the nation, but Judah retained the immense advantage of the location of the great aity of Jerusalem, with its Temple. ... Naturally, there was much rivalry between the two kingdoms and there, was constant war between them. Jere boam, fearing to allow his people to go to Jerusalem for their religious feasts and rites, established two . shrines-one in the northern part, at Dan, and .the other at (Bethel, each having a golden calf to serve as an outward symbol of Jehovah to the peo pie, Thus, Jereboam committed two great sins he sinned in permitting the .people to worship ah image and he further sinned in ' selecting men to be priests who. were not of jthe tribe of (Levi, dedicated byj God for the priesthood. Not only did Jereboam. sin, but the jcripture declares, 'he "made Israel to sin." ' During the two hundred and ten years after Solomon's death and the complete ruin of the Northern (King dom, nineteen different kings reign edsome for only one or two yearn. It is impossible for us to consider each, but among them there were sev eral righteous men, who tried to lead . the people back to Cod. As a whole, however, .these kingswere wicked men. "... , There were men of Cod in the king dom all during these years, who tried to point the people to God and to his worship, but the people failed to heed their warnings.. . Among them was , Amos, the prophet, who came out of the desert of Tekoa to condemn the rulers and princes and rich men of Israel for taeir corruption, their lives of ease at the expense of the poor, Who were laterally stamrisr to death.

It, was to be hie very own, to- care for and to love. ' 1 ' Johnny promised himself he would rear his pet with the best of his ability and would keep, it always-even when he grew up. But Johnny, in his enthusiasm, did not realize that what he thought was his greatest possession would not live forever. And so our most treasured goods last but for a limited span of years ; we sometimes overlook the fact that we must some day part with them. , ' - But there are treasures which may never be taken from us. The good deeds we do, the happiness we bring, the blessings we be stow, the duties we perform; these are with us always, and will bring us happiness forever. All of us can possess more of these treasures. By attending the ' services of our Church and by reading the Holy Word, we will come to possess more gifts of lasting, value, gifts which we can prize al ways, and will take with us into eternity. . - V - v f f - - - - ! 1HE CHOHCHPob All. .
