No Greater Fool Lesson fur April 17. 1956 IT WAS the day of the great mass-meeting. The new administration was meeting the voters face to face. At least, the man who hoped and expected to be the administration was facing the people he hoped to rule. The right

Dr. Foreman

word is •‘rule,” for this was in the days when kings were kings and not men signers of other men's documents. And this particular king was none other than the son, the one and only son. of the famous

King Solomon. His name was Rehoboam, and if ever a greater fool lived on this earth, history has lost record. As a matter of fact, he could not be king automatically. The nation had not been a kingdom very long; there had been only three kings in all, Saul, David and Solomon. And in every case, the king had been elected by vote of the people. It was what we would call technically an elective monarchy, not yet a hereditary one. So Rehoboam had to persuade the people that he was worthing electing. He could not be king of any tribe if that tribe did not vote for him. A Royal Fool Rehoboam now proceeded to do everything wrong. The people asked him the perennial question: What about taxes? Solomon’s reign had been magnificent—if you lived in the palace. Ayou lived out in the villages or oh a farm it looked different The royal officers were everywhere, bleeding the people tor all the taxes and all the forced labor that the royal magnificence required for its upkeep. The people told Rehoboam that Solomon's yoke was grievous; they begged him to make it lighter. Rehoboam asks for time to think. He spends that time asking advice. The older counsellors, his father’s trusted wise men. tell him to vn light on the people. In fact they him the whole theory of good government in a nutshell: "If you will be a servant unto this people . . then they will be your servants for ever." Then Rehoboam asks the younger men, his own contemporaries, what he shall do. They give him the completely foolish advice to bear down on the people, treat 'em rough, tell them nothing good. So the feckless Rehoboam goes out and says in effect, “You took a beating in my father's time—but you haven’t seen anything yet. If he beat you with whips. I'll beat you with scorpions." Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Stepmothers Os course Rehoboam lost the election. Only one tribe stood by him. The rest went off and elected another king of their own. A kingdom that David had won by • courage and Solomon had held by wisdom, was kicked away by Rehoboam out of sheer foolishness. What made Rehoboam sueh a fool? It was not his youth. At the time of this episode he was forty years old, and if a man has no sense by the time he is forty, it is too late to hope. Part of the trouble may have been his 999 stepmothers. Solomon was married a thousand times, but we have no record of any children except this man Rehoboam. Considering what harem Intrigues are like in the Orient, and considering the fact that most if not all of Solomon’s immense harem were heathen women, .it would not be surprising if Renoboam's mother (who herself was a heathen from Ammon) was over-sup-plied with bad advice from Rehoboam’s nosy stepmothers. Some fools are born, some are made. They are home-made, many of them. One of the ’ best ways to produce a fool in your family is to listen to all the stupid advice the neighbors can give you. The Vrice of Inexperience Another thing "was wrong with Rehoboam, and for this we cannot blame his mother nor his congregation of stepmothers. It was his own fault that he preferred to listen to the men his own age, men who like himself had grown up in the luxury of the court, men who knew nothing of practical affairs. preferred to listen to them, the voices of inexperience, rather than to the older men whose advice Solomon had tried and presumably found good. Rehoboam being himself without experience could not tell, of course, beforehand. whether the older or younger men were right (Baaed an .atlln., eapyrlgklaf by tta Have hope enough to remove anxious fears for the future. pave love enough to make yourself useful to others.

How To He/p Bui/d Up Your Church By Mrs. J. R. Meadows Be in your place unless prevented by some reason which you can conscientiously give to your Lord and Master. Pray for your pastor and the congregation before you go to church. Pray as you are seated in the church. Never engage in any conversa-1 tion or act after entering the church which will tend to divert your thoughts, or the thoughts of others, from worship. During the period of meditation thank God for your Sunday school and classes, and pray God’s blessings upon your officers, teachers and pupils. Never carry what you think to be the faults of any of the members aw'ay from church. If tempted to do so, look about you and see some beautiful soul whose life is a benediction to you. During the week call upon at least one person with an invitation to attend the services. Pray for the pastor every day. He has a heavy responsibility. Take your envelope every Sunday with a liberal amount therein.
