1 Commentary by the lie. D. M. Stearns. Copyright.

1S08, by D. M. Stearns. 16. "What portion have we In Davldf Neither have we Inheritance in tho son of Jesse; to your tents, Israel.

Now seo to thine house David. So Israel departed unto their tents. This was tbe result of the refusal of ltehoboam, the 6on oi Solomon, to make the grlovous service of bis father lighter for thopeoplo, but It was all under God's overruling to fulfill His word by Ahljah the prophet (verse 15 and chapter xl, ai), 31). Becauso of Solomon's sin In forsaking tho Lord and worshiping idols ho was to lose ten parts of tho kingdom, one tribe only being reserved for David's sako that ho might have a light always before God In Jerugalem (chapter xl, 81-aO). It was the purposo of tho Lord that the 12 tribes should be ono nation, a wholly righteous nation, in tho laud given to their fathers, and Ills purpose stands Unchanged, for tho gifts and calling of God aro without repentanco, and every purpose of the Lord shall bo performed, but He 6oes tho end frum tho beginning and Is, through ull seeming discouragements, patiently working out His plan (Horn, xi, 29; Isa.

xlv, 21; xlvl, 9-11; lx, 31; Ezek. xxxvii, 22). 17. "Iiutnsfor tho children of Israel which dwelt in tho cities of Judr.h, Hcho-boam rclgncd over them." Jutiah was David's tribe, to which ho belonged, and the Son of David, who is to restore all things of which tho prophets have 6poken, is called tho Lion of Judah and also tho Hoot of David, for Ho is David's son as well as David's Lord (Acts 111, 21; ltov. xxii, 1G).

Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler (I Chron. 2). It was well for Benjamin that they were willing to 6tay with Judah, even though seemingly absorbed In the ono trlbo of which the Lord spake. 18. "Then King ltehoboam sent Ado-ram, who was over the tribute, and all Israel stoned him with stones that be died." This Adoram seems to bo tho 6amo as Adonlram of chapters lv, 14.

Fer-hops by sending for tho tribute Rehobonm was testing them to see if they had really revolted. The result must have thoroughly convinced him, but it was an expensive test for the collector. Not different, however, from that of Stephen, who for tho sako of tho Son of David was also stoned to death. 19. "Solsraelrebellci against the house of David unto this day." In II Kings xvii, 21, It Is eald that Israel from tho houEO cf David, and Jeroboam dravo Israel from following the Lord." Jeroboam rnlght havo been blessed and made a blessing if only ho had been willing to keep tho commandments of God and to walk in His ways.

But out of his own heart he devised evil things and established Idolatry in Israel from Dan to Bethel (chnptcrsxl, 88; xii, 28, S'J, 83). 20. "Anditcamo to pass hen irfl Israel heard that Jeroboam was eonio agnin that they Kent and called him unto he congregation and inn do him Ling over all Israel." Jeroboam wns a widow's sen or.d ono cf Solomon's servants, who had been promoted because of his industry. But when tfco Lord told Solomon of tho diTitiiou of tho kingdom because of his tin then he sought to till Jeroboam, but ho fled to Egypt tnd was there till Solomon died (chapter xl, 8, 40). 21.

"And when Rchoboam was como to Jerusalem he ossembUd all tho houso of Judah with tho tribo of on hundred and fourscore thousand chosen mm." In II Chron. xi, 1, it Is said thaft this army was from Judah and Benjamin, and in both parages it mys that tho object was to bring tho kingdom again to ltehoboam. Ihls, however, was not God's way, and therefore tho army was In a senso vain array of power. Ve read of another king who hlrod 100,000 mighty men and paid them a hundred talents cf silver, but was not allowed to use them, for they were net in God's plan. 22.

"But tho word of God camo unto Shemorah, the man of God, saying, The name of this man of God signifies "Hearing Jehovah," and a true man of God is ono who hears only the Lord and delivers Ills messages as faithfully as Samuel did the Lord's message to Ell. He that hath My word let him 6peak My word faithfully is a good message for every man and worn an of God (Jer. xxill, 28). Tho next chapter (I Kings xili) is in somo respects tho greatest "Man of God" chapter In the Bi-blo, for in it the title Is used not less than 14 times, and it teaches us that if we turn from what God snya to listen oven to an angel bearing a contrary messago wo may bo set aside as witnesses. Compare Gal.

8. 23. "Speak unto ltehoboam, tho son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all tho houso of Judah and Benjamin, and to tho remnant of tho people." Tho messages cf God are plain, and thoso for hem they are Intended aro clearly designated (Deut. xxvii, Hob. 11, 2).

Seo also Hag. ii, 4, and noto carefully tho beginnings of ull the epistles; noto also in tho utterances cf our Lord Jesus ChrUt the persons to whom He is speaking, nnd you will 6eo among other things that tho much misquoted words "Tho kingdom of God is within you" (Luko xvii, 20, 21) wcro never said to disciples, but to murderous Pharisees thirsting for Ilia blood, and wo must therefore take them as in the margin or the U. V. rather than an In our A. V.

text 24. "Thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren tho children of Israel. Iteturn every man to his house; for this thing is from Me." They hearkened and obeyed and did well In doing, for obedlcnco always brings blessing (Isa. 1, 19). Man's goings are of the Lord; how can a man then understand his own way.

Lord, I know the way of man Is riot In himself; It Is not In man that walkcth to direct his steps. A roan' heart devlscth hit way, but Lord di- i7tjat a TWRY-The ket today.

recteth his steps (Jer. 23; Prov. xvl, XX, 24). When La bun pursued Jueob with evil Intent, the Lord uppcarud to him and stopied his evil purposes. Even tatan bad to confers that God had a bedgn about Job through which he could not pass.

Surely wo will bo quiet If we believe Horn, vill, lid, S3, and l's. xxxll, 8. 25. "Then Jeroboam built Shechem in Mount Ephralm and dwelt therein, and went out from thenco and built Penuel. Shechem means "shoulder" and suggests Deut.

xxxiii, 12, and Isa. lx, 6, 7. and penuel means "tho face of God," but Jeroboam know neither the one nor the other, for he turned away from the face of God end ft It that ho must manngo things 1) tbey were to go right, according to his views. Tho very next verso shows that ho did not believe God, and thcrcforo he could Cot be established. See II Chron.

The general session of the Trans-MIsslsslppl Educational association opened with a large attendance. A resolution was offered by Superintendent A. F. Nightingale of the Chicago high schools proposing the observance of a "La Fayette Day" in the schools, which was unanimously adopted. The resolution declares that the convention endorses the patriotic movement to raise a fund to help the erection of the Lafayette monument at the Paris exposition and requests the loyal co-operation of educational Institutions throughout the country.

The convention was entertained by a series of cxerclies showing the remarkable proficiency of the trained blind deaf ar.d dumb from schools of Omaha, and from the state of Iowa. Strong addresses on teachers' work were made by Miss Maud Summers, of Chicago, and Superintendent Aaron Gore of Denver. "Imperialism. Yer Undo Ham la peaceful.
