of dominion bureau of statistics index figures which give an increase in all commodities since 1941 of 821 as against an increase in a comparable index for masseyharris implements of only 669 this low percentage of increase too is shown in the face of an increase in ihe index figure for materials of 947 and of masseyharris hourly rates of pay of 1739 as can be seen by referring to the chart shown above also the indexes show that while farm implements have only increased 669 there has been an increase in the price of farm products of 826 and the scarcity of farm labour has caused farm wage rates to increase by 1776 farmers depend upon mechanization to offset the scarcity and high cost of labour and the indfixfs show that prices of such equipment have been maintained at a comparatively

exactly this was je- hoshaphats problem a good j man himself lie nevertheless sought the friendship of the ungodly especially the apos tate kings of israel the north ern kingdom this practice led him into one predicament after another from which only the mercies of cod extricated him moreover it did his kingdom no good nor did it lay up good for his family it gave his children a liking for the un godly till his son jehoram took as his wife the wicked daughter of ahab athaliah who later nearly exterminated the royal line of david it was a heavy and evil recompense for a little friendship with the world the world gives poor returns for the friendship of the people of god jehoshaphat from all the records strikes one as having been a jovial bighearted fel low with a genius for friend ship he was no introvert no hermit in addition he loved adventure and plunged into it with zest such a disposition is admirable and attractive but it needs watohing it needs discipline it needs to he much under the control of the holy spirit without such a rein it can plunge one into a lot of trouble that is the story of jehoshaphat by all means let only date drive and find out why ford is worth more

prophet of the lord besides jehoshaphat felt lack oi truth in the four hundred theirs was a unanimity of falsehood and a man accustomed to pro phets of truth sensed the dif ference verse s cne man mi- calah but i hate him for he doth not prophesy good concerning me god had not left himself without a testimony in the apostate nor thern kingdom but those who kke from jehovah were not couit favorites the truth of god is not in favor with sin ners verses 9l2 these verses describe the scene enacted while micaiah was being brought the prophets were vying with each other to please the king verse 13 ajki the messen ger spake let uiy word be like the word of one of them and speak good the political courtiers of ahab were ready with shrewd worldly advice to the man of god but men of god do not walk in the counsel of the ungodly psa 11 verse 14 what the lord saith unto me that will i speak micaiah was not receiv ing his message from men but from the lord compare num bers 221s verse 15 so he came to the king and he answered him go and picwper micaiah began by echoing the words of the four hundred verse 16 1 adjure thee that thou tell me that which is true in the name of the lord but something in mi- caiahs tone and manner made it clear to ahab that the pro phet was mocking the spine less prophets so the king put him under oath verse 17 1 iav all israel scattered these have no master let them return in peace then the prophet declared both what he had seen and what he had heard in vision compare numbers 2716 17 of course it was pointing distinctly to the kings death in battle but indicated that the syrians would not follow up their victory verse is did i not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me despite the adjuration v 16 the king attributed the evil prophecy to the enmity not the truthfulness of the pro phet verses 1925 here we read of the strange council in heav en and of the dash between micaiah and zedekiah verse 26 take micaiah and carry him back unto anion probably the false prophets got their salary from the pub lic coffers but the true prophet was jailed for his pains gods servants need not expect their reward from men verse 27 put ibis fellow in the prison until i come in peace this act of ahabs was really a defiance of the word of the lord a chal lenge to the almighty verse 28 if thou return the iord hath not spoken by me hearken 0 people mi caiah was willing to commit his ease to the test of fulfill ment and called upon all to bear witness the heart of the lesson jehoshaphat was one of the good kings of judnh but his association with the wicked kings of israel got him into serious difficulty more than once he was of a magnani mous nature and loved to help people but he had a weak ness very c 0 m m 0 n among christians he made hasty de cisions ami prayeo afterward so when ahab invited him to be his ally in a campaign against syria for the recovery of ramothgilead jehoshaphat immediately committed him- elf and then suggested finding the mind of the lord ixrd i have decided to do so-and- so please tell me if that is your will if not in words at least in practice that is how many pray then when they find that god is not in the project and it i not going hey wonder why god led thftn i it welt he didnt tve ought to pray fir and wait for the mind of the ixird ahabs preachers were bread- andbutter preachers they aimed to please they never raied their voices in denun ciation of the idolatries of the king and the nation they nev er demanded the destruction of the calves of dan and bethel they never called upon the king and the people to return to the pure worship of jeho vah the god of their fathers they never exhorted the king to put away the whoredoms of his wife jezebel all that was left to elijah and the few who had no place in the royal entourage so now instead of giving the king a faithful thus saith the iord the four hun dred organized a pap meeting to send the king out to battle in good humor but jehoshnhat saw through the farce and called for a real prophet in deference to his royal visitor ahab called for micaiah who liegan by iron ically mimicking the other prophets and ended by giving the faithful word of the lord no rosy proapect for ahab but indicating that the defeat would not be a natieial calam ity since the syrians would not follow up their advantage the army would be scattered hut not decimated as a reward for his faithful ness micaiah was jailed or as some interpret the passage returned to jail until ahab should return in peace in a word ahab challenged god to carry out the prophecy and he did now as then truth is not necessarily with the ma jority i some folks talk of gardens and mention home grown dad thinks it refers to what his aching back makes him do read
