teruational relations. But If the religious elements of righteousness and justice be a secondary consideration then the outcome will be disastrous V 12. "So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day. as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day." There was a note of sineerily on the part of the people as they came without the fanfiare of erm* They had no union organization. they were helpless in organized power. In the administering of justice, power must be met with power unless the will of God is supreme. V. 13. "And the king answered I the people louglily, and forsook tlie old men's counsel that gave him;" the faculty of judgement grows with age and lienee the advice of the older people has special value. Itehobuam was so obsessed with his own importance that he expressed his arbritary power; he would give no heed to complaint* Rehoboam was a spoiled c hild having been reared in luxury. and so was out of sympathy with the common people. National and international welfare depends upon a brotherly spirit. V. 14. "And spoke to them after 'the counsel of the young men. saying My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke; my father also chastised you with whips, but 1 will chastise you with ec'ccrpiccns." If this Is a literal description of the way laborers were treated under Solomon's reign it Is no wonder they were asking for a new deal. Rehoboam used insulting language and showed the spirit' of a tyrant. The king had sought I counsel of profligates like himself' and became self-deceived. It is a fine art to seek advise wisely. V 15. "Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the- people, for the cause was from the land, that he might pe: form his saying, which the Lord spake by Ahijah the Shilionite unto JerolHtam the eon of Nebat " God's eternal purpose run* through all history even though lit be bad. V IS "So Israel rebelled against the house- of David unto this day." The chosen people of God were now divided for all time. V. 20 And it came to pas*, when all lerael head that Jeroboam, was come again that they made I him’king over all Israel." The ten northern tribes now set up their ; own government; but their new king led them to sin against God which resulted :U captivity, and their becoming the lost tribes of; I Israel To rejec t God is to be lost. .

2 When doe* taxation become a burden and what can the people do about it? 3. How far may indivudual freedom be allowed to maintain sound government? 4 When is a nation justified in using force? 1 5. Why is full obedience to God i very Important? q Clerious Says: Clericus save: "Nothing is gained by merely defending the rights of f:ee men if God’s right to our allegiance is disregarded. We really live In the highest sense not in a political universe but In a spiriaual universe. Allegiance to God » | the only adequate answer to human ' problems. Q Lesson Prayer: We pray for a true 1 balance of loyalty to God and our government; giant that spiritual discernment that will enable us to see the right as a nation and as individuals and make justice and righteousness the prime reasons for the function ot government in all walks ot life.

Only a union of religious forces can save civilization from a third world war, which would mean Its dissolution. Dr Ralph W. Sockman. of the Christ Methodist Church. New York, N. Y.. told fourteen thousand persons attending an interdenominational gathering in Kiel Auditorium, St. Louis. Mo., recently. He pointed out that the governments of the world cannot be expected to work together until Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Jewish religious leaders set au example of cooperation and conference instead of resorting to controversy and conflict. Asserting that Jewish and Protestant groups frequently get together to share their views, the Methodist leader added: "As a Protestant I would like to see this conference principle extended to. and accepted by. iny Roman Catholic brethren.” Lack of such sharing. Dr. .Sockman continued, leads to misinformation, differences between religious groups, and public controversy. "Only a church united." he said, “can have power with God and man in praying for a united world." Q I si ... aM w’hat Are You Fitted For?

■lm mins m niu min siim wiMgM Seven 16 mm. motion pictures will be produced by the Protestant Film Commission during 1947. to be distributed to churches, clubs, schools, and commuolty groups. The films will be designed to stimulate the average churchgoer to more creative and agressive Chris , tian living, to promote Christian education, to deal with tbe need for religious and racial tolerance, with missionary recruitment, the Christian ministry, and Christian ity in China. Delegates to the annual meeting of the Home .Missions Council of North America, held at Buck HUI Falls, Pa., heard a report asserting that class and race distinctions in the Christian church must be eradicated if it is to maintain its traditional championship of human rights. The seventy-page statement, prepared by a committee of church leaders of various denominations, added that tbe church must lake a forthright and uncompromising position on the side of human rights. Though turmoil aud terrorism continue to take their toll of British life in Palestine and British patience in London, the Jews who are already in the field continue to extend their work of reclaiming their holy land.
