Good News : : ? a National consequences of leaders choices Unfortunately Solomon did not leave his son, 1 Rehoboam, the goodly heritage which he had receiv- i ed from his father, David. From the beginning Rehoboam was at a great disadvantage because he < had inherited a legacy of trouble. Immediately after 1 Rehoboam's accession to the throne, Jeroboam headed a large delegation which approached the king and sought relief from the heavy tax burdens which had been imposed on the people by Solomon. Isn't this picture of people crying for relief from ex cessive taxation astonishingly up-to-date? Rehoboam promised a response to their request for lighter taxes after three days. I Kings 12:6-11 Instead of consulting with God about the matter, Rehoboam asked the older, wiser and more ex perienced men what he should do. They advised him to concur in the request, and thereby gain the gratitude and allegiance of those making the re quest When he consulted the inexperienced and ir responsible young men, they advised him to deny the request and to threaten them with heavier tax burdens that Solomon had' imposed on them.

Rehoboam's harsh denial of their reasonable re quest and his foolish threat caused the leaders of the ten tribes to give the signal for a revolt, whereupon they seceded, formed the Northern Kingdom, and selected Jeroboam as their king. I Kings 12:21-30 Selfish politican that he was, Jeroboam consulted with his counselors, lost sight of the fact that the true strength of a nation lies in the spirituality and morality of its people, and then made two calves of gold and placed them at Dan and Bethel respective ly. That was the worst thing he could have done, for it led the Israelites away from the worship of God. His remark to his people, "It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem," indicated that to him religion was merely an accommodation or a convenience. But, it is never too much for anybody to do what God tells him to do. There is no substitute for God's appointed way of worship and service. Jeroboam in sisted that his people make it easy on themselves by going to nearby Dan and Bethel to worship. These gold representations of God, which were declared to be symbols of God, actually became substitutes for Him. Due to the rapid increase of idolatry in Israel, God's blessings were withheld. Jeroboam had a wonderful opportunity to lead his people aright. Instead of doing so, he violated the law of God in the making of these images, and the Bible frequently refers to him as "the man who made Israel to sin." Of course, judgment upon this perpetrator of sin was inevitable. What a reputation he earned for himself ? "the man who made Israel to sin"! Jeroboam is a typical representative of all those who pretend or think that they are doing the will of God when they are actually not doing anything more than merely conforming to their own wills. Sin may promise great things, but it never pays.

For Your Information Deor friends, All over Americo, a new spirit of indepen dence is stirring among the elderly. They are discovering that Washington cannot or will not solve all their problems.
