SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Proof of Solomon's Shortcomings
As Ruler Found in Son's Career
Scripture: I Kings 12-22; II Kings 1-10; 15; 17: G 8
By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D.
In our boyhood we used to be
told that Solomon was "the wis
est man who ever lived." We read
about the famous scene upon
which a part of that great tradi
tion of his wisdom is based the
scene described in I Kings 4:16-28
in which two women at war
fare ver a child which each
claimed came to him for judg
ment. When Solomon called for
a sword, ordering to split the
child in two, he quickly discov
ered the true mother, who would
rather give up her babe than
have. 'it killed. Also, in the
dream in which Solomon was
asked by the Lord to naine what
ever, he desired, he asked above
all for "an understanding heart."
Yet despite all his glory, and

his greatness as the builder of the
Temple, Solomon did not prove
a wise ruler; or he departed from
his early wisdom and consecra-
lion to holy purposes. The proof
of this? It was found almost im
mediately upon his death, when
the people came to Rehoboam,
his son, to ask that their burdens
be made lighter.
People will stand for a great
deal if an air of splendor is cast
around their labors and sacrifices,
or if a ruler is popular. But when
personal loyalty has passed, and
all that they have endured be
comes apparent, realism triumphs
over illusions of grandeur. More
over a change in government has
always been an appropriate occa
sion for complaints and hopes of
something better.
Whatever Rehoboam had in
herited from his father, he had
not inherited even a small part
of Solomon's wisdom. He sought
two sorts of counsel -from older
men, of mature judgment, and
from young men, like himself.
The older men advised, him to be
gin his reign auspiciously by
granting the people's petition and
lightening their burdens. But he
took the advice of the young
men; and he was also particularly
nasty about it. He'd show them
who was king. Instead of light
ening their burdens, he'd make
them a great deal heavier. "My
father made your yoke heavy,
and I will add to your yoke: my
father also chastisde you with
whips, but I will chastise you
with scorpions."
Rehoboam could hardly have
asked more plainly for trouble;
and he got it. Jeroboam, an
outlaw who had fled to Egypt in
Solomon's time, relumed from
Kgypt, led a successful revolt of
10 tribes, and henceforth there
were two kingdoms in thelsrael
that hud been united under David
and Solomon.
And on tlftt day of division
was the beginning of the down
fall of b'Srr kingdoms. For with
the political disruption began a
moral and spiritual decline as
well'. Jeroboam could lead a suc
cessful revolution, but he couldn't
rule his own spirit, or guide his
people widely. He turned to ways
of ldol.-.ty; he did cvufctf W
sight of God; and he started the
course that ended in the destruc
tion of the northern kingdom,
when it fell to Assyria in "22 B.
ously "the northern kingdom,"
C. That kingdom, called vari
"Samaria," and the "kingdom of
Israel," was never restored. Its
inhabitants were enslaved and
dispersed, and btc.trne the so
called "lost ten tribes."

One Simple Dark Dress Plus Many

By ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer
From a single investment you

simpler it is stripped bera of

will look this year, the less dat

more accessory changes you can
ring in on it to give you ward

In "best-dressed" Hollywood,
where this idea is backed up 100
per cent, the basic wardrobe

this simple theme one best-dresserLucille

'what can a penny, nickel or dime
do for me'," she said. "Maybe
nothing directly, but for a ser
service man that is a different
idea.
"Those pennies, nickeis and
dimes which we, in our American
colloquialism, call 'pin-money',
can actually provide for a wound
ed service man for one week.
"Save your pin-money. Take
your change in war stamps. If
you save $37.50 and buy a $50
bond you have taken care of one
wounded soldier for one week.
"Plans are being made for
women volunteers to call at your
homes toward the end of the
drive to convert your pin-money
into a war bond. These bonds
can be ear-marked for hospitali
zation or rehabilitation. Let's sec
how many wounded .service men
wc can take care of for one week

and save your' pin-money during
the 7th war bond drive to give
that extra help to . your service
man and mine. At the stores
take your change in war stamps,
save them and hoard them. Can
you housewives, mothers and sis
ters meet that challenge? Will
you as a household eke out
enough to keep our wounded for
a week? Charles Sumner once
said, 'Give me the. money that
has. been spent in war, and I will
clothe every man, woman and
child in every valley over the
earth. I will crown every hill
side with a place of worship con

Let's put all the money we can

Warning Voiced on
Park Vandalism
A warning that visitors at Riv
erside - park must not pick the
flowers or break limbs from trees

the caretaker, I. C. Kennedy.
He said many of the plants

by unattended children, and that
flowers have been pulled and
then thrown ubout the grounds,
Ho said repetition of this offense
will bring prosecution of the van
dals.
Kennedy also urged that par-
cntindo not permit small childron
to go to the park unattended, and
that close supervision be exer
cised over them while they are
in the park to eliminate the dan
ger that some of the smaller
youngsters may fall into the riv-
