I Comments Jo] on a.s.-.atvi Creamedc-Comments on the Sunday school lesson, Joash Repairs the Temple, II Chronicles 34:4-16, for Sunday, May 8. During the reign of the two preceding kings, there was a lapse in religion, the Temple and its services were neglected and attention was given to the worship of Baalim. Nevertheless, there was a remnant that at heart feared God and were ready to respond at a moment’s notice. Joash, the little babe of Ahazaiah, was secretly reared by the wife of the faithful priest, Jehoiada. and when he was seven years old Jehoiada lead a revolution that ended in making him king; Jehoiada ruled until Josah was old enough to take over. V. 4. “And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to repair the house of the Lord." The character of Joash is seen in his desire to make the house of God worshipful. You can judge’ the character of the people of a community by the condition of the church building in their midst There is nothing too good for God. Since heaven is a place of worship people on earth will do well to make worship a matter of first consideration. V.B. -"And at the king’s commandment they made a chest and set it without at the gate of the house of the Lord.” Joash had ordered priests to secure the necaseary funds but they being unfaithful, he proceeded to appeal directly to the people. He used the plan of Moses, namely, an annual contribution to the temple of the Lord whcih had been ordained in the wilderness. (Eodus 30:12-16) Giving of our substance is an essential part of true worship. The Bible teaches a systematic plan of giving. Without a system, gifts to the Lord are likely to be small. V. 9. “And they made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem IB tiring to the Lord the collection that Moses the servant of God laid upon Israel in the wilderness.” The proclamation called for a voice that gave utterance to the will of God. The church build-

|H|g zW ay Addressing sessions of the annual Yale University Christian mission. James A. Pike, dean of New York’s Cathedral of St. John the Divine, said that college students today have a new "openness to religion.” Once they shunned religion as a curious phenomenon, he said, but now they are considering it a "live option.” “In my student days, the young man In ebelling against religion was at the same time rebelling against the religious dogmas of his parents.” Dean Pike told the Yale mission. “Now the situation seems •eversed. Today many parents, products of the 1920 s and 19305. do not have strong religious beliefs. The student, by taking up * strong interest in religion, is in t sense rebelling against the lack if religion in his parents.” —The Christian Century. CLERICUS SAYS: Clericiis says: “The only safe way a Christian can handle money asto handle it as a Christian stew-

Ing is empty unless there is a voice in it. V.lO. “And all the priests and all the people rejoiced, and brought in. and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.” The fact that they rejoiced is evidence of their real interest in the restoration of the temple. It is a good omen when people can hardly wait to do their part in maintaining God's house in good repair. Such rejoicing will be further expressed in attending the services of public worship. V.ll. “And it came to pass, at which time the chest was brought to the king’s office by the hands of the Levites, and when they saw there was much money, the king's scribe and high priest’s officer came and emptied the cheat, and took it and carried it to his place again. This they did day by day and gathered money in abundance.” The chest was used over and over; it corresponded to the church collection plates. V. 12. “And the king and Jehoi ada gave it to such as did the vork of the service of the house of the Lord, and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the Lord and also such as wrought in iron and brass to mend the house of God." These workers of skill were the beet to be had. Note the emphasis on the house of the Lord. V. 13. "So the workmen wrought and the work was perfected by them and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened it." They restored the house of God to its perfect condition. V. 14. “And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada whereof were made vessels tor the house of the Lord, even vessels to minister, and to offer withal, and spoons and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the Lord continually ail the days of Jehoiada.'" Economy was practiced so there was money left over for badly needed furnishings. Jehoiada was the great power for after his death Joash slipped religiously. Being faithful to the end is God's plan tor every one, —Baked on copy right 3d ‘outlines produced by the Division of Christian Education, National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., and used by permission.
