In history either.one denotes a fixed point of time, commonly selected on account of some remarkable event by which it has been distinguished, and which is made the beginning or determining point of a particular year, from which all other years, whether preceding or ensuing, are computed. Some writers distinguish between the terms epoch and era. According to them, both mark Important events, but an era is an epoch which is chronologically dated from; an epoch is not marked In this way.

IMPROVED uniform international Sunday School ’ Lesson ’ (By REV. IL B. FITZWATER, D.D., Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible nstltute of Chicago.) (©, 1924. Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for April 6 THE KINGDOM RENT ASUNDER LESSON TEXT—I Kings 12:1-33. GOLDEN TEXT—“Pride goeth before j destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.’’ —Prov. 16:18. PRIMARY TOPIC —The Story of a Foolish King. JUNIOR TOPlC—Rehoboam’s Folly. I INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPj IC—The Division of the Kingdom. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Why the Kingdom Was Divided. Tlw kingdom so gloriously adm ini sj tered in David’s time reached its climax in the time of Solomon. Solo- > mon was led astray through the influ- । ence of his heathen wives, and the kingdom had begun to wane. God had expressed bis indignation toward him and made known the fact that the kingdom was to be rent from him, yet not in hiz time, but in the time of Rehoboam (I Kings 11:9-13). I. The Demand of the People (vv. 1-4). This was occasioned by the burden of excessive taxation and enforced labor, which was required by Solomon in order to build costly houses and temples for his heathen wives. Owing to the multiplicity of his wives, this became very burdensome. They promised loyalty to him on the condition of lightened burdens. 11. Rehoboam’s Foolish Decision (vv. 5-15). 1. Rehoboam Consulted With the Old Men (vv. 5-7). These were men of experience who had been Solomon’s advisers. They advised that the people's request be granted. 2. Rehoboam Consulted the Young Men (vv. 8-11). These young men had grown up with him, possibly were his half-brothers, shns of Solomon’s many wives. Being thus brought up in | the luxury of the harem, they were Ignorant of the legal right of the people. Therefore, they advised even that the burdens be Increased. 3. Rehoboam Followed the Advice of the Young Men (vv. 12-15). At the appointed time lie announced his purpose to the people. He even answered them roughly, asserting his purpose to increase their burdens and sorrows. 111. The Revolt of the Ten Tribes I (vv. 10-24). Upon Rehoboam’s announcement of his rash purpose, all Israel cried out, “What portion have we In David? ... to your tents, O Israel." 1. Rehoboam’s Attempt to Collect Tribute (vv. 18, 19). Adoram, his | tribute gatherer, was stoned to death. 1 So violent was the opposition on the part of the people that Rehoboam had to flee to Jerusalem to save his life. 2. Jeroboam Made King Over Israel (v. 20). They seemed to have lost no i time in selecting a head so as to be strong in their opposition to Rehoboam. 3. Rehoboam’s Attempt to Compel the Ten Tribes to Return to David (vv. 21-24). To effect this, he assembled his army of 180,000 men. Through the prophecy of Sheniaiah, which forbade them to go against their brethren they were persuaded to return. IV. Jeroboam’s Scheme to Unify the Ten Tribes (vv. 25-33). 1. He Established Calf Worship (vv. ! 25-30). His pretext for this worship i was his fear lest the religious unity ! should heal the political separation, j His fear was that the people would i go back to Jerusalem to worship and therefore would gradually be led to acknowledge allegiance to Rehoboam and his own life would be taken. He was too shrewd a politician to do away with religion. He knew 'that religion was a powerful factor in man’s life. The prevailing religion of the world today is a political one. It Is used as a sort of cement to hold together people and political Interests. 2. His Scheme of Worship (vv. 31-33). (1) He built houses and high places (v. 31). This was against the direct command of God. God had directed His people to destroy the high places, to break down the idolatrous centers, so we see that Jeroboam, moved by the demands of his sinful heart, disobeyed God. (2) He made priests of the lowest of the people (v. 31). God had set aside the tribe of Levi to till the office of priesthood. In this again he disobeyed God. (3) He changed the day of the Feast of the Tabernacle (v. 32). The time of this feast was set by the Lord (Lev. 23:33, 34). Jeroboam argued that the change in the time would be better suited to their northern climate, but God who made the climate ordained the time of the feast. It was his business, therefore, to obey God. (4) Jeroboam himself intrudes into the priest’s office. This act of presumption on his part was the climax ■ of his godless acts, which till grew out of his wicked heart. God’s Free Gift God comes to us with an offer of deliverance, forgiveness, pardon and love. And notice how plentifully God supplies. It was not a mere taste, but abundance. So in salvation the blessing is gotten by simply taking it from God. He bjds us believe and be saved. To delay taking will be a sin; to bring a price will be an Insult. Think of a man of Israel bringing his shekel for the water! And think of a sinner offering God a price for his great salvation ! —Andrew Bonar. Let Your Light Shine I If a man has a light, it must shine. It is the property of the light to shine. It cannot help from shining. We very much doubt if the man who hid his light under a bushel, had enough light to make an impression upon the darkness. The man who has the light in his soul can neither hide it, nor make it manifest. The light Is its own master. —Herald and Presbyter.

Strict Quarantine Rules Kept <f Flu” From Samoa I Today, 23 years after permanent । American occupation, an American may look upon the natives of Samoa with no small degree of pleasure and pride, says Frank Bohn. One sees cleanliness, health, education and happiness. These simple people are taught to preserve both their healthful native dress and their primitive handicrafts. All sections and ages of the population partake of these benefits. The one place in the world, so far ias the writer's information goes, where the influenza epidemic of 1918i 19 did not till a grave or afflict a single individual, was in American Samoa. Then* the representatives of , medical science had their way made ; straight in their war upon a prevent- ; able disease. By the use of relentless quarantine ' regulations and medical inspection the I people of these island^ have kept enI tirely free from influenza until the present time. —Current History Maga- : zine.

Today it Is used In corn ctires, and Is responsible for the slightly greenish hue which most of such products possess. It Is grown to some extent In New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Virginia, as well as Illinois. It apparently has been known for centuries. Its use. Burton believes, I "doubtless dates from the dawn of civilization, since the earliest social pleasures would be of an Inebriating ' character.” From “The History of the Trovers of Syria." the lady in question is reported to have “brought them coffee, which they drank, but hardly had It settled in their maws when the forty thieves fell to the ground, for she had mixed up with It flying bhang, and those who had drunk thereof became like dead men.” The most artful use of this insidious hemp was probably in the old days, "concentrated bhang" mixed with opium, a drachm of which was said to be capable of overthrowing an I elephant.—Detroit News.

JOYS OF MOTHERHOOD Often Prevented by Female Trouble Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound brings Joy to Homes by Removing Cause of Trouble

Brooklyn, N.Y., —“I was working after I got married and the young lady who worked next to me asked me if I had any intentions of having a child. I told her I would be the happiest woman on earth if I could become a mother, but I always had terrible cramps, backaches and headaches. She then told me of a woman she knows who took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for the same troubles and it helped her greatly. I took about a half bottle and found that the following month I did not suffer any pain, so I kept on taking it. I have a wonderful baby boy six months old and he is as strong and fat as any one could wish a baby to be. I still take the Vegetable Compound regularly because I have lookeu fine all the time and felt fine and my mother told me that was the reason.
