— —Il CREAMED COMMENTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON, PRIEST AND KING IN JUDAH, II . Kings 11:4,9*12, 17-19, 21; 12:2, for Sunday, June 28. After the death of King Jehosha- . phat there were two wicked kings and one wicked queen who ruled for 14 years before the time of our lesson today. They brought the worship of Baal into Judah, and caused the worship at the temple .•.to be neglected. The marriage of Jehoshaphat’s son to Athalia, the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel, caused moral decline in Judah which reached its lowest ebb in the rule of Athalia. This lesson shows , —-the function of religion in a comJ munity and the importance of having capable and devoted relig- » ious leaders. V. 4. "And the seventh year Jehoida sent and fetched the rulers I over hundreds, with the captains S and the guard, and brought them I to him into the house of the Lord, ; and made a covenant with them, ' ."and took an oath of them in thej ■ house of the Lord, and showed . 5 . them the king’s son/'' Ulis was the I "Seventh year after Ahaziah had I been murdered andi the queen Athalia had seized the throne.

ordered the death of all her grand- ! children to secure he* position, but ’ one, Joash, was saved and, un--1 known to her, was being cared for ! by the priest Jehoida and his wife, 1 that he might assume the throne ; and end Athalia’s rule. In a secret , ceremony, Jehoida assembled the ‘ officers of the army to meet the king’s son. Vs. 9-11. “And the captains over 1 the hundreds did according to all ' things that Jehoida the priest com--1 manded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that should i go out on the sabbath, and came to 1 Jehoida the priest... A n d to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king David's and shields, that were in the temple of the Lord.... And the guard stood, every man his weapons in his hand, round about the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, along by the altar and the temple.” The whole maneuver took place during the time for changing of the guard on the Sabbath. Jehoida had all the guards remain on duty to protect the king’s son and to see that the queen had no military support when she attempted to stop the artointing of the king’s son whom she thought she had eliminated. . V. 12. “And he brought forth the king's son, arid put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they mad|e him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save the king,” The “testimony” referred to was a portion of the law. The power of royal investiture rested in the divinely ordained priest, yet the basis of authoriay was the law of God. This was a joyful occasion for all who were devoted to the true religion, and they showed it by clapping their hands. V. 17. “And Jehoida made a covenant between the Lord and the king and the people, that they should be the Lord’s people; between the king also and the pepple.” In the name of the Lord, and as his representative, Jehoida made this solemn covenant between the Lord, the king and the people. Hie covenant between the king and the people indicated that they would tie loyal subjects and he a just ruler over them. V. 18. “And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and brake it down; his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priiest appointed officers over the house of the Lord.” Queen Athalia had established the house of Baal as a Seat of licentious worship and the destruction of Baal worship was'i of primary importance before the temple worship could be made the one true religion. Guards were stationed in the temple to prevent its destruction. . V 5.19,21. “And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king of the house of the Lord, arid came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king's house. . . And he sat on the throne of the kings. . . Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign.” Queen Athalia had been taken out byway of the horse gate and executed and Joash was brought in by way of the gate leading from the temple to the palace. While only seven years old. Joash was brought up in the fear of the Lord and was given counsel by Jehoida, a devoutly religious man. V. 2. “And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the Lord all his days wherein Jehoida the priest instructed him.” Jehoida was a good influence in the reign of Jehoash during his youth and in later days, and was primarily responsible for many of the reforms instituted during his reign. I This lesson shows what can be ' accomplished when religious and! civic leaders work together, J_

Religiou enterprises received the majority of philanthropic gifts in the United States last year, according to the American Association of Fund-Raising Counsel. Religious contributions made up 51 per cent of the 87,100,000,000 1958 total, the agency said. ’ Despite ten years of persecution and suffering, there are still 500 Methodist preachers in China serving 50,000 to 70,000 Methodists, it was reported at the annual meeting of the Methodist Board of Missions. " r A song hailing Mao Tse-tung, head of the Chinese Communist Party, as the “supreme God” and lauding his “virtues and power” is being taught in China schools, according to the Peiping radio. The song’s lyric runs: “No supreme God is in heaven; no dragon God under the earth. I am the supreme God, and the dragon God. Tell the mountains and the cliffs to make way, for I am coming.” Evangelist Billy Graham will ask the Federal Communications Commission for a license to build and operate a 5,000-watt radio station at Black Mountain, about two miles from his home. A spokesman for the evangelist said the station would air religious programs primarily, but also would include public service programs, music, news and sports. Any profits would go to missions and charities, he said, and, although advertising would be accepted, it will not be solicited. There are 126 students from 27 countries studying this year in 13 countries on scholarships given by the World Council of Churches, according to figures recently compiled in the Geneva office of the Council. Primarily designed for theological students, young pastors and Jeachers, the program aims at developing a broader knowledge and understanding of the life of other churches. Discussion on I | Questions 1. What should be the place of religion in the anauguration of a leader today? • 2. What are some of the false gods that people worship today? 3. How can religious leaders today influence those responsible for government? 4. What were some of the reforms that Jehoash brought about in his reign? 5.

Man’s two greatest adventures are exploring the world around trim and the world within him. He can probe these two worlds with missiles or with prayers. The President of Carleton college said recently, “I do not believe the greatest threat to our future is from bombs or guided missiles. I do not thing our civilization will die that way. I think it will die when we no longer care—when the spiritual forces that make us wish to be right and noble die in the hearts of men.” Apathy and indifference characterize out times.
