Saaday School Lesson for .Isa. 22, 1911
Specially Arranged for This Paper
LESSON TEXT-1 King? 16:15-33. Mem
ory Verses; 25. 30.
GOLDEN TEXT-"Righteousness Ex
tlteth a nation: but sin ls a-reproach to
any people."-Prov. 14:3?. .
TIME-Om ri reigned 12 years from B. C
m (or 893) to 923 (or 8S2). Abac, his soo.
from B. C. 925-904 (861).
PLACE-They were kings of Israel,
with their capital at Samaria.
In the thirty and first year of Asa
king of Judah began Orari to reign
over Israel. Qmri was the general of
Israel's army In the unsettled and
troublous times that followed Baa
sha's reign. Before his -call to be king
we know nothing about bim. He was
the sixth king of Israel, and founded
the fourth dynasty, which lasted sixty
years, with four kings. When first
brought to notice he was fighting for
his country against the Philistines at
* Gibbethon. Another general named
Timri was put forward as king, and
there was war. for several years be
tween these two warriors. Finally
Omri had full possession of the king
His first work.was to choose a bet
ter site for his capital, for Tirzah fiad
doubtless been injured in the siege,
and its location was not the best for
defense. He bought the hill Samaria
for hie capital. This choice proved
his sagacity as a- general and states
man. The superior strategic position
of Samaria, a conical hill standing 400
* feet above the base of the. broad val
ley, is evidenced by the long siege
which it endured, and the stout resist
ance which it offered to the armies of
Omri wrought evil. We ar? not told
the particulars of Omri's sin, tut Mi
cah says: "For the statutes of Omri
are kept" "We cannot doubt that,
these 'statutes of Omri' were, measures
adopted for mose completely^ isolating
.the people of Israel from the services
of the house of the Lord at Jerusalem,
and of perpetuating-perhaps of in
creasing-their idolatrous practices."
Men thought bim rich and prosperous,
but God looks on the heart and not
cn outward appearances.
The retribution for Omri's course
did not come all at once for the na
tion, but the s?eds of ruin were com
ing up like upas trees. Ahab, the son
of Omri, followed his father Omri In
bis military traditions and prowess;
but still more in the idolatrous ten
dencies, the debased morality, the al
liance with heathen nations, the neg
lect of true religion, the downward
course toward ruin, which character
ized Omri's reign. Instead of being
a positive,, creative forcu for good, he
?ailed with the downward tide, as a
"boat without engine or rower down
the rapids of Niagara toward the falls.
"It takes live fish to swim'up stream."
"A boy's will ls the wind's will."
Ahab "was a man not destitute of
ability, not devoid of patriotism; not
wanting In courage, at times not un
kingly, but\purfectly indifferent to'the
obligations, vader which he lay as
ruler of a nation which God had taken
Into covenant with himself." He was
Egotistical, covetous, sel?sh, cruel, the
worst of Israel's evil kings. He took
to wife Jezebel, the daughter of Eth
"The shadow of Queen Jezebel falls
dark for many years over the history
of Israel and Judah. She was one of
those masterful, indomitable, implac
able wemen who, -when fate places
them in .exalted power, leave a terri
ble mark on the annals of nations.
What the Empress Irene was In the
history of Constantinople, or the 'She
wolf of Ftance' in that of England,
or Catherine de Medici in th?t of
France, that Jezebel was in the his
tory of Palestine.
Jezebel stands out on the page of
sacred history as the first supporter
of religious persecution Such fanat
icism is a frequent concomitant of
guilt. -She is;the authentic authoress
of priestly Inquisitions. If no king
so completely "sold himself to work
wickedness" as Ahab, it was because
"Jezebel his wife stirred him up."
He went and served Baal, and wor
shipped him. The downward course
of religion is marked if not measured
by the fact that while Solomon al
lowed his heathen1 wives to worship
their gods, but did not join in the wor
ship, Ahab rejected Jehovah by join
ing his wife in worshiping the idol.
It is of the utmost importance to
avoid false friendships and compan
ionship with the bad. Every power
for good in true friendship is a power
for evil' In the false. Our environ
ment, the persons with whom we come
in contact, especially If we admire
them, are among the most potent fac
tors for good or evil ir. our liveB. A
great deal pf evil comes from false
friendship. The danger is doubly
great because it comes under the
guise of friendliness-a*wolf in sheep's
clothing. "Give me," says one, "a
roaring devil rather than a sleeping
one; for a si sat?n g devil makes me
slumber, but roaRng ones provoke me
to run to my Master."
. Many are ruined by bad com
panionship! How large a part of
drunkenness comes frc m the custom
of social drinking! How many are
kept away from Christ and heaven
by fear of their friends!

Before the passage of rhe Pure Food
Law the packages stated that Grape-Nuts
food was made of wheat wi barley;
We did not esteem the small amount
of salt and yeast as ?f value enough to
speak of, but after the new Law came
in we became as technical as the offi
cials at Washington and added the words
"yeast" and "salt." although we have
no recollection of being asked to. '
We believed that our statement that
Grape-Nuts will supply elements to nour
ish the brain and nerve centers is true
and bring authorities to support the fact.
Some st?te chemists believed this a
gross exaggeration and inasmuch as the
Food Dept. at Washington could easily
harass grocers, pending a trial on the
disputed nuWion. we concluded that
much the better way would be to elim
inate "from our packages such claims,
however certain we may be that the
claims are true.
Another statement objected to read as
"The svyfom ?".Pl "herb a greater
amount of nourishment from one pound
of Grape-Nuts than .from ten pounds of
meat, wheat, oats, or bread."
Some Department chemists deceive,
themselves as well as the public.
"Caloried" is the word which defines a
unit of heat determined by the amount
necessary to raise one kilogram of water
one degree centigrade. On this basis a
table of calories is prepared showing the
percentage of different kinds of food.
Butter shows 8.60: Grape-Nuts 3.90;
milk 0.70. Remember the statement on
the package spoke of the nourishment the
system would absorb, but did not speak of
the calories cf heat contained in it, for
the heat is not nourishment, and the
nourishment cannot be judged by the
number of heat units, notwithstanding
the fact that certain chemists would have
the nnblic believe so. ^
As an illustration: Attempt to feed a
man. sixty days on butter alone, with its
8.80 calories. The man would die be

Then, take' Grape-Nuts with 3.90 and
milk with 0.70,-the two combined equal

Therefore, we have reason to believe
that our contention is right that con
centrated food like Grape-Nuts, which
is partly, digested and ready for easy as
similation by the body, presents more
nourishment that the system will ab
sorb than many other forms of food, and
we will further say that in cases of diges

and oats cannot be digested, that Grape

Distortion No. 3 chartres that our tes
timonials were practically all paid fer
and re-writtcn in Pattie Creek.
These testimonials were demanded by
the opposing lawyers. Naturally this
demand was refused, for they are held in
vaults and kept, safe to prove the truth,
and are not to be delivered up on demand
Testimony at the trial brought out the
fact that we never printed a single testi
monial that we did not have the genuine
letter back of. . Many of these letters
came spontaneously. A record was kept
of twehe hundred and four (1204) let
ters received in one month from people
who wrote that they had cither entirely
recovered their health or been benefited
by following our . suggestions on food
On three or four occasions in the past
ten or twelve years we printed broadcast
in papers offers of prizes to users of
Postum and Grape-Nuts.-two hundred
$1.00 prizes, one hundred $2.00, twenty
of $5.00 and five of $10.00 each.-'tnfin?

very generally answered those who wrote
to them, and verified the truth of the .
Under this agreement not to publish
names literally scores of letters came
from doctora. We kept our word and
neither printed their names or surren
dered the letters.
Right here notice an "imitation spasm."
The "Weekly" nays: "Post got those testi
monials by advertising for them. In New

of the truth of now. and never did.
Space was bought in the magazine spoken
of on a business basis for the reason that
it went to a good class of readers. The

Distortion' No. 4. This is a bad one.
It reads as follows: "The only famous

(300) communications from physicians,
many of them expressing thc highest com
.mendation of our products, but these will
not now or ever be turned over to the
publisher for his use.
Notice the statement in this charge:
"The /mly famous physician whose name
was signed to Postum testimonial, etc."
The truth is, this Dr. Underwood was
one of a great many physicians who have
not only written commendatory words
about the value of our foods, but even'
now and then some physician writes an
article on coffee or on food, and sends it
to us with a sugesti?n of compensation
for his ' time and medical knowledge.
Previous to the time when we employed
physicians in our own business, . we oc
casionally emploved a doctor to write
an article on coffee, always insisting that
the article be an honest expression of his
opinion and research.
The 'Weekly" hunted up this physician,
and because be seemed to be poor, and
as it says, "brokendown," had him
brought to Court to be exposed before a
jury as the "only physician that had ever
endorsed Orape-Nuts," but much to the
chagrin of :he_ "Weekly," when our attor
neys . asked him if the article he wrote
about coffee was true he replied, "yes."
Statemert No. 5 reads: "The health
officers of Mich., Mainep> Penn., New
Hamp., and other "states in their official
bulletins have for years been denouncing
as preposterous and fraudulent the claims
made by the Postum Cereal Company."
We do not recall any criticism except
from Mich., Penn., Maine and S. Dakota.
The. average reader might think that
the opinions expressed by the State Offi
cials are always correct, but that con
clusion is not borne out by facts.

refers directly to the usc . of the well

on a pre-digested food.
The price of the package (referred to
by the weekly) is not known by us to
have any relation to the question.

Eapers the dangerous nature cf the fraud
e is perpetrating on the public."
The Postum Company does pay out up
wards of a million a year for trade m
nouncements. Newspaper men believe our
statements truthful or they would not
print them. Large numbers of newspa
per men use our products.
They are capable of telling the' public
.whether or not we "bribe" them. ,
It may have escaped notice that we
did not "bribe" that particular weekly.
No. 9 states that the amount of the
verdict j will "be devoted by the 'weekly*
to fvnociTur fraud." f
This is almost real humor.
We have .two Ruits ponding against the
"weekly," total, $500,000.00.
We haven't "devoted" the sum to any
particular purpose yet.
Item 10 is a "discovery" that wheat

But the criticism neglected to mention
that for years every Postum package an

They ignorantly fell into a trap here,
not knowing enough of food value to know
that 'Taka-Diastase" the article used by
physicians the world over for ''starch in
digestion" is made from "wheat bran."
So we use that part of the wheat berry
because it contains the element needed
to develop the valuable diastase in man
ufacture. Good Postum is impossible
without this part.
These self-appointed critics do maka
some laughable blunders through ignor
ance, but-be patient.
