ISSSSI-JJ ! on as.si®E| Creamed comments on the Sunday school lesson. Young King Josiah. II Chronicles 34:1-12, for Sundsy, June 13. Josiah was the beet king of Judah; he. as a youth, was pious and lived under good influences of religious leaders who asserted themselves when the opportunity camo He made good decisions and persisted tat carrying them out. In all his considerations, God was first. His influence was widespread; tee sought to bring all of Israel back to God. V.l. “Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign and ho reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years.” His father had been assassinated by conspirators. Ho evidently did not take after his father who was a wicked king. His father, having reigned just a few years, made possible Josiah getting good instruction from righteous men and women. 1 V. 3. "And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord and walked in the frays of David his father, and declined neither to the right hand nor the loft” In all probability Hilkiah, the high priest, became the adviser of Josiah and helped to load him in righteous ways. The influence of the minister on a young life has far reaching effect. Doing right is the only way to success and the only way to achieve character. One’s walk is more Important than his talk. The good example of David furnished an ideal; but an ideal must be expressed to be realized. V. 3. “For in his eighth year, while he was still young, he began to seek after the God of Devlid his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places and the groves and the carved hn-Jeslab-imatured. he assumed mors responsibility. He first followed a negative program, the extermination of every vestige of idolatry, beginning at the center, Jerusalem and Judah. Like John the Baptist, he was making the way of the Lord. But back of this program was the positive program, namely, seeking God. Righteousness characterizes the life of a ruler who FIRST CHRISTIAN Traverse Chandler, minister Everett Faulkner, superintendent Morning worship, 9:30 a.m. Sunday school, 10:30 a.m. Morning worship service will open with a prelude by Mrs. William Bauman.

seeks first the kingdom ot God. Verse 4 describes Josiah’s continued determination to go straight. V.&. "And he burnt the bones of the priest* upon their altars and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem." The work ot God includes cleansing. V. 6. “And so did he i* the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon even unto NaphtalL with their mattocks round about." Josiah strovo to bring all of Israel, including th* northern kingdom, back to God. destroying every vestige (mattocks) of idolatry. V.7. "And when he had broken down the attars and the groves, and had beaten the graven images into powder, and had cut down all the idols throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.” Note that the king by his example would crown the Lord God ae the world leader whose presence wes especially in Jerusalem. V.B. "Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when be had purged the land, and the house, he sent Shaphan, the so* of Azaliah, Maaseiah, the governor of the city, and Joah, the eon of Joahas, the recorder, to repair the bouse of the Lord his God.” The king chose wisely the beiMing committee to restore the house of God. A godly community wants God’s house to be attractive and in good repair. V. 9. “And when they came to Hilkiah, the high priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house ot God, which the Levites that kept the doors had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and ot all Judah and Benjamin, and they returned to Jerusalem.” This was a thorough financial campaign, no one was omitted from the list bt givers. T.IS. "And they put it in the hand of the workmen that had the oversight of the house of the Lord, and they gave it to the workmen that wrought in the house ot the Lord to repair and amend the house.” Here was a system of cooperation, each one important in his place. The following verse carries out the same thought. V. 12. “And the men did the work faithfully.” The one and only course is being faithful even unto death; this applies to every one. —The 'Rev. D.
