THE LAW ON STEALING.

We should never take anything that belongs to
another. It is God’s commandment written on stone,
“Thou shalt not steal.” If you look closely at the picture,
you will see a man, way in the distance, running after a
chariot and the horseman, trying to stop them. This
man’s name is Gehazi. He is a liar anda thief. This
is his story: He was the servant of the prophet, Elisha.
Now, there was a very great man in Syria, whose name
was Naaman, he was captain of the king’s host, but he
had a terrible disease, called the leprosy.

A little Jewish maid, who had been taken captive
and lived in Naaman’s home, told him about the prophet,
Elisha, in. Israel; what great wonders he could do in
healing the sick. So, one day, Naaman took a company
of soldiers, and went down to see him. The prophet told
the great man to go and dip seven times in Jordan, and
he should be cured of his leprosy.

He did not quite like the way, but aftera while he
went and did as the prophet told him, and sure enough the
dreadful disease all left him. He was very thankful and
wanted to pay the prophet alarge sum of money, but
Elisha wanted to show him that it was God who had
healed him, and so refused to take it.
