The robbery and murder of Naboth
Is one of the darkest of human deeds.
Failure to recognize the righteousness
of Naboth’s position, and to master his
own personal selfish desires, resulted
In this dark deed.
I. A Notable Example of the Tri
umph of Evil (I Kings 21:1-29).
1. Ahab’s covetousness (vv. 1-6).
Near the king’s palace lay a plot of
ground belonging to a simple farmer
which Ahab selfishly longer for. Na
both, loyal to the law of God and exer
cising his personal rights, refused to
part with it, though the king offered
him what it was worth, or even a tet
ter one in exchange. With Naboth it
was not a matter of money value, but
of loyalty to God and his fathers. It
doubtless would have been gain to him
to have complied with Allah’s desire,
for he offered b- worth in money, or a
better one in lange. Naboth put
principle befo ■ orldly gain, or even
a reputation v. • h the king. Ahab in
stead of conquering his selfishness
-ulkily refused to eat.
2. Jezebel’s wicked plot (vv. 5-16.)
When she found Ahab pouting she
took matters into her own hands. (1)
She taunted Ahab (v. 7). A weak man
cannot stand to be taunted, especially
by a woman. (2) A mock trial given
(vv. 8-13). The charge made against
Naboth was false. They played the
hypocrite. His death was secured un
der the pretense of justice. Jezebel
desired Naboth out of the way, so she
secured false witnesses against him.
(3) He was stoned to death (v. 13).
(4) Jezebel informs Ahab of Naboth’s
death, and instructs him to take pos
session of the vineyard (vv. 14-16).
3. The doom announced (vv. 17-26).
(1) By whom—Elijah (vv. 17, 18).
At the command of the Lord, Elijah,
who had fled from Jezebel, goes to
meet the king as he entered upon the
possession of Naboth’s vineyard. He
went to take possession but could not.
God always finds a man to bring to the
sinner the fruit of his wrongdoing.
(2) What it was (vv. 19-26). (a) A
shameful death (v. 19). The dogs
were to lick his blood in the place
where they licked the blood of Na
both. There is a retributive justice in
the judgments which God metes out to
sinners. “Whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall he,also reap” (Gal. 6:7).
Jezebel was to share a like fate. The
sinner should be assured that his sin
will find him out. (b) Obliteration of
posterity (vv. 21, 22). It was best
that the children of such a man should
be cut off so that there might be an
end to such a wicked dynasty. It
would seem that the world has now
come to such a state as this. The dy
nasty which is responsible for the
blood and sorrow of the world at this
time would better end and its poster
ity be obliterated from the earth.
4. Ahah’s repentance (vv. 27-29).
Through his humiliation he gained
a respite from judgment. God allowed
him to go for awhile before he permit
ted the judgment to fall upon him. A
few years Inter he was slain in the
battle of Ilainoth-Gilead (chapter
22:37).
II. How to Overcome Evil (Eph.
11:18).
1. By separation from it (v. 11). The
only way to overcome evil is to refuse
fellowship with it, to withdraw from
it. Lot,* who had entered into fellow
ship with tiie Sodomites, was overtaken
with disaster; but Abraham, who was
separated from it, was able to deliver
him.
2. By reproof (v. 11). It is not
enough to merely refrain from prac
ticing evil. No neutral position is pos
sible. There must bu victory over it;
it must be defeated. Antugonism of
the evil is necessary.
8. By watchfulness (v. .14).
Living in the light of Christ is nec
essary in order to overcome evil. De
ception Is on every hand.
4. By u circumspect walk <vv. 15,
16).
Pitfalls are all about us. To walk
without looking about us is most fool
ish, because the evil one is on the
■ alert, doing his best to cause us to
stumble.
5. By a sober life (v. 18).
6. By being filled with the Holy
Spirit (v. 18).
Those who would overcome evil
l must abstain from intoxicating liquors
1 and all the Influences of the world
which unduly excite.
The Spirit-filled believer has thewis
' dora and power to overcome.
Regenerated Life.
“! The best personal workers are those
who have a zeal for others because of
their own changed lives. There may
he argument against some forms of
reasoning and against various cults
and “isms," but there can be no ai>
gument against a regenerated life.—
’ “Something Doing.”
LIVE STOCK SHOW "1
BIGGER THAO EVER
t • _______
At Memphis Finest Herd* of Beef and
; Dairy Cattle, Swine and Sheep In
the United State* Will Be Shown at
Fair to Encourage Increaaed Produc
tion of Meat In the South.
Every breed of beef and dairy catr
tie, of swine and of sheep, will he rep-j
resented in the live stock abow at tk#j
Tri-State Fair, which this year proaa-i
ises to excel any show of Its kind;
ever seen in Memphis or la the great.
Middle West.
The premium list in the live stock _
department has been substantially ln-fr
creased in order to attract the leading
breeders and exhibitors in the United
States. Premiums for cattle, awlne,
and sheep alone reach the Imposing^
total of $20,000.
Secretary Fuller, who has visited a
number of the recently held State
Fairs in the interest of the Tri-State
Fair to be held from September 21 to
28, reports that breeders who never be
fore visited the South will bring theli
herds to ivienipnia tuw
pete with the rapidly improving South
ern herds.
The United States Government ia
appealing to farmers in all parts of jj
the country to incrase the produc- ^
tlon of meat as a war measure. So
long as the war lasts there will be •
shortage of meat, and for years after
peace is established the countries of
the Old World will look to America
for their meat.
It Is certain that the live stock busi
ness will be extremely profitable for
many years to come. The best means
to increase the production of meat is _ |g
| to breed high grade animals. South
!ern farmers who contemplate engag
ting in the live stock business should'
imake It a point to visit the Tri-State
;Fair to inspect the best of all breeds.]
'They can see the animals, compare1
'their good points, talk to the breeder*
'themselves, and if they desire caa'
ipurchase their foundation stock right]
on the fair grounds.
The live stock show at the Tri-State
Fair has been the outstaading feature
during the eleven years the fair has
been in existence, finch yew It M
better. This show is to the South
what the International Stock Show la
jto the Nation, and what the American
Royal is to the West,
t An idea of the the magnitude of the]
[Live Stock show can be gained from!
the following list of premium* offered.*
Beef Cattle—Shorthorns, $2,628; Her
efprds, $2,860; Aberdeen Angus, fl,-'
800; Polled Dnrhama, $1,068; $ed
Polls, $980. Dairy Cattle—Jerseya,
$97<X| Holstein a, $970; Guernsey*
$169; Ayrshire*, $700. Bwla*-I>*n»
Jerseys, $1,709; Hampshire*, $1,800;
Poland Chinas, $1,280; Spotted Poland
Ohina*. $600; Berkshires, $460; Ches
ter Whites, $887; Tamworths, $8791
Yorkshires, $270. Sheep, $1,670.
Many years ago the leading live
'stock register associations recognised
jthe Importance of the Tri-State Fair
by making annual contributions to sup
plement the premium list. Special rec
ognition was given this year by the
various associations increasing their
(donations.
In the swine department special pre
miums are offered for hogs owned by
members of Boys’ and Girls’ Pig Clubs
iu the three States and fqr breeders JJ
in the three States who have never
before shown at a State Fair,
i The best judges in the Unite!
States—men of national reputation
have been engaged to judge the live
stock at Memphis. These judges are:
jBeef Cattle—William. A. Dryden of
jBrooklin, Ontario; Frank Van Natta,]
(of Fowler, Ind., and O. E. Bradfute, of1

ARMY AVIATOR TO FLY ABOVB
CROWDS AT TRI-STATE FAIR
SEPTEMBER 21-28.
When the American and allied armies
begin the real march to Berlin next
spring the way will be simplified by
army aviators who will smother the
Hun air forces by eheer weight of
numbers, and thus "blind” the enemy,
j Hundreds of splendid young Ameri
cans are learning to fly at Park Field
Aviation School near Memphis,
j Every day during the Fair army av
iators will fly ever the fair grounds to
■thrill the crowds. Some of the more' \
experienced flyers will do stunt flying,] jE
such as looplng-the-loop and tail spin-'
nlng. High In the air they will pro-j
vide the real thrills of the Fair.
Officers at Park Field have agreed
to send an entire squadron of flyers
to the Fair on the afternoon of Fri>
; day. September 27. They will come in
; battle formation, and will execute &1!
sorts of difficult maneuvers In plair^
view of the crowds. Be sure to watcl^ljl
for the aviators at the Fair. j ¥
