I <*» Creamed Comments on the Sunday school lesson, Josiah Keeps the Passover, II Chronicles 35:119. for Sunday, June 19. This lesson portrays high moments in the life of King Josiah. Having discovered the Book of the Law, the king in reading it realised how far Israel had gone astray with the impending judgment. The past experiences in suck times of worsnip as the Passover Feast, led the king to plan the greatest passover service that had been observed for many years. All Israel unitedly drew near to God and made the great sacrifices in the temple. ' ' V.l. “Moreover'Josiah kept a passover unto the Lord in Jerusalem, and they killed the pasaover on the fourteenth day of the first month.” Keeping the passover was like keeping the sabbath — both were to be holy. Killing the passover was the killing of the passover beasts in the prescribed offerings according to the law. V. 2. “And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the Lord." Josiah assumed leadership in worship as well as in government There was comparative peaee with all nations and that contributed to the deaired peace of God. Josiah so encouraged the priests that they must have considered their work worthwhile. Encouragement plays a large part in helping others to take life seriously and render Christian service with gladness. V. 3. “And said to the Levites that taught all Israel, wtiieh were holy unto the Lord, Put the holy ark In the house which Solomon the son of David the king of Israel did build: it should not be a burden upon your shoulders; serve now the Lord your God and the people Israel.” Some of the Levites watt appointed as teachers; the holy altar evidently had been talfc en out of the temple; it was significant in being ».jyfflboLfor the presence of Odd; here was the? motive — all were to serve the Lord God. V. 4. “And prepare yourselves by the houses of your fathers, after, your courses, according to the writing of David, king of Israel,

I I WisdonvEa iwAiwi ■iinffl A gypsy family had just departed from near the vicar'* home and had left a dead donkey partly covered. The vicar wrote to the council about the donkey. They responded, rather facetiously, saying that it was the vicar's duty to bury the dead. The vicar replied that he knew that, hut just wanted to let the relatives know. Our Preacher Says; Faith in and of itself Is powerless. If faith does not rest in a faithful objective, it will be meaningless. Trust in that which is not trustworthy leads to disappointment. The only thing that makes faith valid is that in which faith is put. The object of faith is wh»t counts. So in the Christian life, it is not our faith in itself but faith in a great God that has saving value.

and according to the writing of Solomon his son.” There was to be order as planned by former kings. Evidently worship had become haphaxard. V.S. “And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people, and after the division of the families of the Levites." The meaning of this verse is that for each lay household there should be a portion of the Levitfcal family prepared to minister to thorn. V. 6. “So kill the passover and sanctify yourselves, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to, the word of the Lord by the hand es Moses.” The ad ministering Levites were to be ceremonially elean. The term “brethren” applied to the common people who needed special attention and instruction. Note that all were io have a part in this great service of worship. There was no segregation. V.ll. “So all the service of the Lord wee prepared the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt afteringq ypqn the altar of the Lord, according to the commandment of king Josiah.” The preceding verges describe the manner of offerings. There was to be no lack of interest. The people were aroused by earnest and capable leadership who honored God sincerely. The offerings expressed entire dedication of the offerer to the Lord. V-H. "And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, an< the feast of unleavened bread seven day*-’’ The keeping of the passover was such an important matter that the fact Is repeated- Heaven is a place of worship and those who do not relish worship here will not feel at home there. V. 13. "And there was no passi over like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a passover ■ as Josiah kept, and the priests. ■ and the Levites, and all Judah and i Israel that were present, and the i Inhabitants of Jerusalem.” Ewi- > dently there were some eompagi- ! wma JUMek, A rexUaL of former • days served as a pattern and insniration ,ta tt, .. jpttttnt ~..great passover religious service. 1 —The Rev.

Do You Know: 1. What salary did the disciples receive when sent out by Christ to preach and heal? 2. Whom did the perplexed Herod suppose Jesus to he? _2: When did Jesua teach economy? 4. Finish the sentence. “What is a ma* profited if he gain the whole world ...” 5. Who was with Jesus and the disciples on the Mount es transfiguration? CLERICUS SAYS: Clericus *ays: “A service of worship offer* strength, encouragement and comfort not found elsewhere. Take for example, the experience of one going to church burdened with a sorrow over the loss of a loved one. Deep within the heart is the hope that one will meet God there and find strength, courage and peace. Life offers no greater happiness than this—the discovery hy faith of the adequate grace of God ip Christ Jesus. This happiness makes worship richly meaningful to the worshiper, and pleasing to God.''
