won-derful thing that was to happen. What? Elijahs going upinto heaven. Now both men stand at the river Jordan. Elijah takes his mantle, and strikes the water of the Jor-dan. The river divides; and Elisha and he walk across. Elisha was sad that he was to lose his master Elijah.He says, Give me double as much strength to be a prophetof God as you have. Elijah answers, If you see me, when I am taken away,you shall have it. And while they walked together, and talked, look, therecame a chariot of fire, and horses of fire that took Elijahaway from Elisha. And Elijah went up by a whirlwindinto heaven. That was a beautiful scene. Elisha, left alone, cried out, My father, my father, thechariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof! And thatmeant what? It was just as if Elisha had said: Oh, myfather Elijah, you are gone! And you were such a stronghelp for us in Israel. Stronger than all war chariots and allsoldiers in the war chariots. For see, Elijah was very strong in prayer to God. //Kings 2.

BIBLE PRIMER 93 44. ELISHA AND THE SHUNAMMITE. A rich woman of Shunem made for Elisha a little roomon the wall. When Elisha came to Shunem, he lived in thatroom. She was kind — the woman of Shunem. And shedid this for Elisha, because he was a prophet of God. So Elisha asked her, What can be done for you ? God is always good to them who are good to His friends. She said she had all she needed. But Gehazi, Elishasservant, told Elisha she had no son, and her husband was old.Tell her to come in, said Elisha. When she was in theroom, Elisha said, In a short time, you will have a son.Like Sarah, you remember, she did not quite believe it. But God gave her a son. Happy the Shunammite woman,then! One day the boy went with the reapers. The day waswarm and he took sick. My head, my head! he cried. Hedied in his mothers lap at noon. Oh, the tears she shed overher dead boy! Then the Shunammite woman saddled her ass and rode atfull speed to call Elisha. The prophet came to the Shunam-mites house
