The reign of Solomon, while a brilliant period in the history of Jerusalem, ended disastrously for his people. Temples, cities, forts and palaces, were constructed by him. Forced labor was employed and taxes fell heavily upon the land. His seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines, many from foreign lands, brought idolatry into Jerusalem and weakened the faith in the one God.

Hoyt Years ago in the old readers of } early school days there was the I story of the man who had seven I sons who were always quarreling. He gave them a bundle of sticks and asked them to break them. They could not. So the father untied the bundle and snapped each stick separately. The moral, of course, was the familiar motto: “United we stand—divided we fall.” In our Sunday school lesson today we are discussing the breaking up of the kingdom of Israel. Solomon had lived a glorious i reign — glorious in its achievements but disastrous in its after 1 effects. Enforced labor, terrific s taxations, idle rich and laboring | proletariats brought the kingdom 1 to the end of dissolution; and when he died and there was none 1 strong enough to succeed him, 1 the end came. We of the United States have learned our lesson as to the house divided. We learned It when we first established our j ( young colony with the hunger, and cold of Valley Forge. We' ' proved it again when North met South in tlie travail and horror of war at Antietam and Chickamau-; 1 gua. We stand a united country—| but we still are facing such a condition as beset the land of Solomon after his death. We have 1 indulged in an orgy of spending. ■ We have seen tremendous for- ; tunes made during the war. We ■ have seen the soldiers returned! to idleness. We have seen the, soup lines grow, home forfeited.i ' dissatisfaction on every hand. And j we have seen the beginning of an ! emergence from this disaster. Our lesson today may be taken from that of Solomon's country. 1 jW* must stand undivided—it is; • our one hope for a return to a I lasting prosperity and a condition iof living worthy the best tradi-i’ | Hons ot the United States.

The man destined to head the revolt against these conditions was Jeroboam, son of the widow, Zeruah, and a member of the tribe of Eph riam. He was one of a contingent drafted by Solomon to work on the fortifications of Jerusalem. His skill and industry caused him to be promoted to the head of all the workmen. In this position, he heard the complaints of the workers and learned their troubles.

society will give a special program, I celebrate “the year of jubilee of, the W. M. S.” The program will I consist of short addresses, duets, ! solo and quartet music. A novel I processional offering service will be presented at the lighted cross by the various departments of the W. M. S. o Calvary Evangelical Church Sunday School, 9:30 a. m. James Darr, superintendent. Following the lesson study, there will be a rehearsal for the Children’s Day program. A most interesting Children’s Day program will be given at 8 o’clock, sun time.

On an expedition outside the city, Jeroboam came upon the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite, who led him into a field. Removing his cloak, the prophet tore it into twelve pieces. He foretold that the ten tribes of Israel had fallen away from Solomon and that Jeroboam should rule all but two. Solomon learned of this prophecy and Jeroboam was obliged to flee in order to save his life.

Who was Jeroboam? 4. —What position did he gain under Solomon? 5. —What prophecy did Ahijah the Shilonite make? 6—What was the result ot this? 7. —Who succeeded Solomon? 8. What sort of a person was he? 9. —What action did he take in regard to the unrest of his people? 10—What did this result in? ANSWERS 1. Today's lesson covers the end of Solomon’s reign, his death, land the succession to the throne | I of Rehoboam, 982 B. C. 2. Solomon left his kingdom in j ! a state ot bankruptcy, in addi-1 I tion to building the temple, he ( built other temples, forts, cities, i and palaces, with forced labor. , 1 His people were taxed to the last ! penny. Many of his wives and : i concubines were pagans whom he | j wed for purposes of state and j ' they brought their heathen rites i ito Jerusalem, undermining Chris- j I tianity. 3. Jeroboam was a member of; the tribe of Ephriam. We first | learn that he was impressed into; i labor by Solomon when his mother, Zeruah, was a widow;. 4. Brought to Jerusalem to help complete the fortifications | left unfinished by David, Jeroboam i proved himself an able man and ' soon was appointed overseer of the workmen. This gave him an opportunity to learn of their disquietude and troubles and to understand their bitterness at their lot. . I 5. When Jeroboam was outside Jerusalem lie met tlie prophet Ahijah the Shilonite. Ahijah took his new cloak and tore it into twelve pieces. Ten of them lie told Jeroboam represented the ten tribes which he was to help free from their bitter oppression. 6. Elated at the prophecy, Jeroboam so conducted himself that news of the plan came to Solomon’s ears. He wguld have slain Jeroboam, hut that man fled into Egypt, where he remained until Solomon's death. 7. Solomon was succeeded by Rehoboam, his son by Naamah, an Ammonitess. a heathen. 8. Relioboam’s early training had made him iniquitious, licentious, and wholly unfit for tlie | great responsibility he assumed. 9. The northern tribes were unwilling to accept Rehoboam as ruler unless he promised to mitigate their condition. Jeroboam returned from Egypt to head them in the movement. Rehoboam refused to listen to them, promising ' that he would treat them more' severely than did his father. 10. The land was divided, north and south, Israel and Judah. o— First United Brethren Church Dr. Charles J. Roberts, minister Sunday School. 9:15 a. m. N. W. Abbott, superintendent.

Jeroboam had been too hasty in his actions and was forced to seek safety in Egypt, where he remained until the death of Solomon, The great ruler was succeeded by his young son. Rehoboam, son of Naamah, one of Solomon’s pagan wives. He refused to listen to pleas of alleviation of the burdens and with his action, the kingdom became divided north and south. Henceforth it was Israel and Judah.
