When â€" Rehoboam ound himself the successor to the throne, he met .the leaders of the nation at Shechem. jWhile this asâ€" sembly was called ostensibly for the purpose ol confirming Rehoboam in his kingdom, yet the people had deâ€" termined to exact certain reforms as the condition as their allegiance. Whey had many grievances.. The northern tribes rebelled against this oppress oa and asked Rehoboam to relieve them of their heavy burdens, promising if he would to acknowâ€" ledge him as king. Ii. Rehoboarm‘s decigion.â€"ys. 12â€"15. 12. All the people. This probably has reference to the ten tribes; Judah and Benjamin clung .to Rehoboam. The thirda day. Rehoboam bad asked the people to wait three days for his decigion (v. 5). "This seemed reaâ€" souable on the face of it, and yet this was one of the questions which & right heart would have decided inâ€" stantly." 123. Roughly. He was harsh and insolent. Forsook...... counsel. Rehoboam first consuited ‘with the old men. (vs. 6). They were the men of wisdom and ability whom Solomen in his wisdom ~bad chosen for his advisers. (See Prov. 11, 14; 15, 22.) But their counsel did not suit the young. Tney advised Rehoboam to grant the request of the people and "speak good words to them" (vs. 7). But he was proud. haughty and conâ€" ceited and forsook their counsel. 14. Young men. Rehoboam next consulted the young men, his asâ€" sociates (vs. 8, 9). "The surest mark of a fool is that he chooseth other fools for his wdvisers." "Phe king made a fatal omission in seeking adâ€" vice. I will add. This was the langâ€" uage of tyrant. With whips. It is probable that the expression is not entirely figurative. It is quite posâ€" slible that the levies of _ Amorites, Hittites, etc. (chap. 9, 20, 21), had been kept at their toils by the lash. â€"Spence. With scorpions. As the scorpionâ€"an instrument of torture with many lashes, like the legs of the animal of this name, and each lash armed with sharp points to lacerate the fleshâ€"is a more terâ€" rible scourge than the common whip, so will my severity exceed my faâ€" ther‘s.â€"Terry. Th.s answer meant his downfall. It was the height of folly for him to take such a course, 15. brought about of the Lord. (R. V.). Whe course of events had been shapâ€" ed by Solomon‘s transgression, and they were left by God to work out their natural results. The sin of the father was visited on the child. â€" Lumby. God forsees what men will freely do, and orders his juagments or mercies accordiagly. IIIL The revolt of the ten tribes (vÂ¥s. 16â€"20). ® All Israe!â€"Tho leaders representâ€" ing the ten tribes. What portion....... In David, etc.â€"Just as a king inherâ€" its the nation he governs, so a monâ€" archy inherits its king. But the ten tribes had not thus received David, nor probably Solomon either. Seven years after David had been reâ€" cognized as king of Judah the chiefâ€" tains of the ten tribes made a specs ial treaty with him by which he ahould govern them. The terms of this treaty we do not know, but it was probably renewed on the accesâ€" sion of Solomon, and it is evident that the teon tribes now regarded it as broken by â€" Rehoboam. Their loyalâ€" ty to him wi‘s annulled by his own action. Tao phrase, "son of Jesse" is a taunt, like "carpenter‘s son," in Matt. xiii., 55.â€"Huribut. To your tentsâ€"This was probably a popular war cry, dating from the days of the exodus, when the whole nation lived in tents. But we are to rememâ€" ber also that a great multitude was now crowded about a town, and doubtless many were at the time dwelling in tents. Now see, etc. â€"Let David‘s descenrdants look after his dunasty ; we sever our connection. 17, which dwelt â€" The Israelites who were members of the northern tribes but who had homes in the cities of Judah,; did not go with their own tribes, but remained and quietly subâ€" mitted to the reign of Rehoboam. 18.

It is possible that Rehoboam and his inexperienced &dâ€" visers thought and hoped that the people would still continue loyal to his father‘s house, but the wish was a vain one and the results were in vory way disastrous. Israel could no longar present an unbroken front to the foe. Divided in counsel, in inâ€" torest, in armed force, she no longâ€" er sent forth her armies to conauer the foes of Jehovah. Internal and doâ€" mestic war soon reduced her strength and weakened her prowess. Foreign focs found her a ready| prey. One by one her possessions fell away. City aftoar city was taken and destroyed. As the result of two invasions the whole nation was carried away inâ€" to captivity and Jerusalem, the joy of the whole earth was made a laughing stock and a raproach.

Gregory pointed out that the total earnings of Canadian railways increased from $20,000,000 in 1882 to $83,000,000 in 1902, while the working expenses increased from $22,000,000 to $57,000,000 in the same time. ‘There was therefore a net increase of about $20,â€" 000,000. He produced these figures as an arguâ€" ment for reduction in rates, and an apâ€" proximation to rates in the United States. But, instead of Ontario getting lower rates, the through traffic was a positive disadvantage. _ Every year it was impossible to get cars here because they were used to keep United States elevators supplied with grain. The farmâ€" ers asked that there should not be more than a reasonable return on the value of the railway property operated. Mr. W. H. Bunting, President of the Ontario Fruit Growers‘ Association,. divided their complaint into three parts, the equipment for carrying, the service for delivery, and the rates,. He pointâ€"d out that, owing to the great increase of production of recent years, there had been a great fall in the prices. Figures showed that it was impossible to make a living profit by shipping by express. The fruitâ€"growers must. thereâ€" fore, depend on the freight service for shipping. In answer to the statement of the railways that there was not enough trade to warrant special cars. he said that 2000 carloads were grown in the Niagara Peninsula last year. An express man told him that 7.000 tons were shipped by express from there last year. They wanted wellâ€"ventilated cars for their tender fruits, The . P. R. had a few such cars. but the G. T. R. was lamentably dejcient. At many points it was impossible to get any cars. He went on to complain of the delay in the service. When shipments were made there was no guarantee of delivâ€" ery, and they were completely at the mercy of the railways. Their fourth request was a reduction in the cost of icing, more particularly to Winnipeg. Mr. E. D. Smith. of Winona, a shipper of 25 years, wanted, first, quicker transportation; second, better _ equipâ€" ment: third, ability to get cars when wanted. During the last two years at Winona cars have been fairly well supâ€" plied owing to competition therew Dui before that he frequently had to wait from one to three weeks. His greatest complaint was in the moving of less than car load lots, about which _ there seemed no «ystem whatâ€" ever. He gave a long list of the times of moving a few boxes from Winâ€" oma to various points, for example, to Woodstock, 60 miles, 6 days; to Jarvis, 69 miles, 4 days; Port Perry, 100 miles, 13 days: Cannington, 100 miles, 5 days:; Beaverton. 123 miles, 10 days. Mr. Bosworth, Fourth Viceâ€"President of the C. P. R., said that this happened because one agent could not count when there might be a dozen shippors. Mr. H. W. Dawson presented, on beâ€" half of the association, the "claims" grievance. He said that they could get no information about claims for overâ€" charges, but had them thrown back. He m-nted over 1,000 claims, about which y could get no satisfaction, The Markets FARMERS AND FRUIT MEN British Cattle Markets. ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO "J+€ U RR 8G 306 3â€"4 w MANY EDUCATED FOOLS. Must be Wise as Well as Learnâ€" ed Says President Angell. Aun Arbor, June 27.â€" Presidont Angell last evening delivered the bacâ€" calaureate address to the class that wili graduate this week, taking for gln e'ubject "Knowledge and Wisâ€" om." 1 Whe president roughly â€" defined knowledge as accumulated facts and wisdom as the power to use them. Mgn could be learned, but not wise. "Knowledge and wisdom may caco exist without the other," said he, "James I, of England has been called the most learned fool who ever disâ€" graced a throne. But the world is full of uncrowned learned fools. There is an endless variety of them. Some are vain and chattering pedants who fill the world with noisy clamor like a ecmpany of crows over their quidâ€" dities and odds and ends of usciess knowledge. They wield no influence and command no respect, because they are so utterly devoid of what we call common sense. Some of them are like cisterns into which floods of learning have been poured. They hold it ali safely stored away. But their minds never become fountains to pour out these stores and enrich the world. They are stagnant reserâ€" voirs. I recall men of capacious momâ€" ory, who with the utmost ease and complacency swallowed ali the learsâ€" ing which could be fed out to thom by a whole college faculty, but the learning never got out through their rerves or their tongues, or ven through their muscles to touch and stir the world. "While, however, you may thus have learned without wisdom, you may often find wisdom without loars» ing. Go into any legislative or deâ€" liborative assembly. You will freâ€" quently observe that some plain, unâ€" lottered man, who seldom speaks and then perhaps with hesitancy, _ does mors to shape the ac‘to1 o the body, and certainly does far better work than many a man of ready tongue and cultured mind, because he is reâ€" cognized as a man of wisdom. It was once said of such a one, "Every word he utters weighs a ton, beâ€" cause there is a man behind it." Bir Charles Eltiot‘s Cable to Premier Baltour.
