[creamecltS|l I On &s.ff<!srgl Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Religious Reform* in Judr'i, 11 Kings 22:10.11: 23:1-21 for Sunday. June 8. JiMlah, the last and one of the best king* of Judah, religiously trained, at an early age when made king succeeding the wicked rule of his grandfather, Mannasseh. made a noble effort to reform Judah; he relied upon the then accepted word of God. V.Ki. “And Shapan the scribes shewed the king, saying. Hllkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shapan read it before the king." The book was found during a hotMtei leaning of the tensile A thorough housecleaning may discover the lost Book in many a home. Shapan the scribe whose function was that of reading and w Ring sacred records was true to his office a* he read this book and then passed on the facts of it The Bible has merit and helpfulness in having its truths passed on to others. V.ll “And it came to |*a«s. when the king had beard the words of the book of the law. that he rent his dothce “The content of the book had to do with God's call to obedience to him and the results of disobedience. That content has never been changed. The fact of God can not be denied and so the call of obedience can not lie denied. Josiah in repenting took the only way that one can take when there is a failure to obey God V I. “And the king sent and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem." The elders were the heads of clans and families, in time the term applied to other prominent men Religion is a family affair. To inaugurate a reform the prominent men must be interested in it. The important stop for all nations today is to have Christianity introduced into the family life and accepted by the world leader* V. 2. "And the king went up into the house of the Lord, and all the men of Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests and the prophets, and all the people, both great and small;

and he read In their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found In the house of the laird." A reform is beet propogated by the convention method: public sentiment must be thoroughly aroused The leader must be one of influence. Like priest like people. All reforms find their back ground in the teaching of God's word. Back of reform movements are religious convictions V. 3. "And the king stood by the pillar, and made a covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, nnd to keep hie commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written In the book. And the people Stood to the covenant." Since God ha* made promises to rnan it ie right that man should make promises to God. No promise has more meaning than that of walking right. One's walk is more Important than one's talk. Walking right with God includes keeping God's commandments and following a program in which the will of God is expressed. The people seemed to follow- Josiah's example but later history shows they were not sincere. V. 4. "And the king commanded Hllkiah. the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the Lord all vessels that were made for Baa), and for the grove, and for the host of heaven; and be burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of I Kidron, ami var ied tbe ashes of | them to Bethel" No reform can tolerate adversive elements no matter how deeply they are entranchyd In society V. 5. "And he put down tbe Idolatrous p ksts. whom the kind of Judah had ordained in tbe cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun. and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.” The purging process of every thing inimical to God was to be eliminated. To follow the Lord tuly one can not allow the lest thing displeasing to God. V. 21. "And the king commanded all the people, saying. Keep the passover unto the Ixird your God. a H it is written In the booh of this covenant." The formal worship of God was essenia! then as now to maintain right relations with God.

I am always glad to grant any reasonable request," raid the boss, "but your wife has phoned and said she would not need you." Mr. Jones, replied Jim, "There are two persons in this building who handle the truth loosely and I am one of them.

A Church with a Gospel Message of Love — Holiness — Unity. •Membership by Spiritual Birth •Our Creed and Discipline—The Word of God. •Our Aim — The Gospel to all Nations. One Brotherhood of all men. The Church of God In Decatur wishes to be as Jesus said, “As One Among You That Serveth." A Christian Welcome To All. 0 Clerious Says: Clerkus says: “A disposition to obey God's commands Is tbe test of sincerity In all study of tbe Word of God. Bible reading for Intellectual snS critical purposes amounts to little. If the Bible is to become a living book wo must open our hears to Its Influence. If Its teaching* are put Into practice great reformations will ensue. o Book Review Christian Boy's Problems, by Bertrand Williams, is very helpful for boys from twelve to sixteen. Sex and other problems are discused and wise counsel relative to the proper attitude toward them is given Tbe teen-ager Is advised to make Christ first in bis life since He ie the only sure refuge. Fathers, mothers, and teachers will also be benefited by the book. o Keep a tight hold of yourself today; don't lose your temper, don't argue, don’t sulk. A husband or wife should never make the other the object of a joke or ridicule. o Ufome ktogSaa Upper Rooms Oliver Wendell Holmes divided men into thre classes. Men with one-story dinientions ho classed as scholar**, who deal with fact* and figure. Men with two-story dimensions he called philosophers, who deal with theories and ideas. Then the three-story men he classified a* prophet* who deal with splendid dreams, glorious visions, and high Ideals. These three-story men live in the upper rooms of their nature. They serve the Crystal Christ. We cannot build our lives without upper rooms Cellars we have, stored with coal and provision* — they are needed; kitchen* and dining rooms, where food is cooked and served — man does not live by bread alone, neither doe* be live without bread; living room* and libraries with faciiltiaa for mental and social life — they are all good, we naad them In our home* Rut an upper room facing squarely against the sky, looking out upon horizons bounded by nothing nearer than the stars and ths Being of God — have that room also, go up Into It, away from tbe noise and confusion of the ground floor.
