After Small Maiden’s Plea Few Daddies Could Have Refused to Buy Toys She Wanted. Little Lady Patricia walked down to the corner store with her dad. She carried her favorite doll and displayed all motherly pride and care. In the store there was a toy department not yet cleared of its Yuletide trappings. The little mother discovered a small red chair, a doll buggy and several other things that caught her youthful fancy. She demanded that they be bought immediately. “Oh, no, Patsy, we mustn't do that," the dad protested. “Christmas Is over.” Patsy thought a moment, then called her father to one side and whispered, quite confidentially, in his ear: “Sh-h-h-h ! Not so loud, father. It’s , going to be dolly’s Christmas and she mustn't hear us.” Did she get the toys? Uh- hnh.—lndianapolis News. Where Texas Draws the Line.

' iMF.tUVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School ’ Lesson ’ (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D., Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) Copyright, 1U22, Western Newspaper Union. LESSON FOR APRIL 9 THE LORD PRESERVES JOASH LESSON TEXT—II Kings 11:1-17. GOLDEN TEXT—The Lord preserveth al! them that love Him.—Psalm 145:20. REFERENCE MATERIAL—II Kings 11:18-30; 11 Chron. 23:1-21; Matt. 2:13-23. PRIMARY TOPIC—God Takes Care of a Boy. JUNIOR TOPIC—How a Boy Became King. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —A Boy St-ved for a Great Career. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —The Secret of Personal and National Safety. Joash, viewed in the light of his ancestors, was a poor prospect for a king. His grandmother was the wicked Athaliah and his great grandparents were Ahab and Jezebel. There was enough bad blood in his veins to assure his doom. Despite this fact, he brought about some noble reforms and turned the people back to God. I. Athaliah Usurps the Throne (w. 1-3). 1 . 1. Her attempt to destroy the seed royal (vv. 1). In order To remove any rival claimant to the throne she tried to kill all the royal male children. 2. Joash preserved by Jehosheba (vv. 2,3). Though Athaliah was keeneyed she was checkmated by another woman. Iler fatal omission was not jto get rid of the women too. Thiswoman, the wife of the priest, stole away the child and hid him in the bedchamber for six years. God had promised that- through the Davidic line the Messiah should come. In order that this line be unbroken Joash must be preserved. No purpose of God can fail. 11. Joash Crowned King (vv. 4-12). 1. Jehoiada’s preparations (vv. 4-11). I The high priest and his wife were intelligent and strong characters. As the high priest. Jehoiada felt that it was his duty to thwart the heathen project of Athaliah. Doubtless his cooperation witli his wife made possible the saving of Joash. (1) Secured the aid of the military leaders (v. 4). He knew somehow that these men were not loyal to Athaliah. (2) Bound them under solemn oath (v. 4). He took an oath of them in the house of the Lord. Honest men will stand by their word. (3) Excited their spirit of patriotism (v. 4). He gave them a sight of the king's son. This, no doubt, was a great surprise. Now having seen the heir j to the throne they would risk everything, even their lives, in order to set him on the throne. (4) Co-ordinates all matters (vv. 5-11). The soldiers were divided into companies and arms were distributed to them. Each , group was assigned to specific duties. 2. Th- coronation (v. 12). (1) The king’s son brought forth. This was a great day in Jerusalem. After six years of usurpation, the people all the while supposing that all the heirs to the throne were dead, now to gaze upon the king’s son would he a notable event. (2) Put the crown upon him. This was the formal induction into oftice. (3) Gave him the testimony. This was a copy of the law, showing that the king was to rule according to the law of God. The act of putting the law upon his head showed that .the king himself would he under the ; control of the law. (4) Made him king. This shows that he was made king by the choice of the people. (5) Anointed him. They poured oil upon his head.* This was the usual method of consecrating prophets, priests and kings. (6) ('lapped their hands. This was a token of joy. Ill’ Athaliah Slain (vv. 13-17). 1. The noise of the coronation of Joash brough Athaliah to the temple (v. 15). Up to tliis time she thought her place on tiie throne was secure and that her heathen religion had free course. 2. Her dismay (v. 14). Upon her arrival at the temple she saw the king wearing the crown and surrounded by rlie guards, so that she could do nothing. In her despair she exclaimed: “Treason, treason!’’ How prone wicked men and women are to I cry out as though they had been ' wronged when their wicked plots and conspiracies are exposed and thwarted ! 3. Athaliah executed (vv. 15, 16). The orders were that she should not he killed in the temple. They led her out by the way of the horses’ entrance to the king’s palace and slew her. What a tragic end for the sinner! Sin can only prosper for a time. IV. Worship of the True God (vv. 1 17. 18). Joash was seven years old when he was made king. The high priest made a covenant between the Lord, flunking and the people that the,v would be the Lord’s people. In carrying out this covenant they broke down the temple | of Baal and slew the priest of Baal. True Faith. To trust God with all one is, or hopes for for ever, Uris is True Faith. To trust God with Body, Soul, Spirit ; with His Promises, with His Covenant j of grace, with His Christ, with any- ! thing whereby I might secure myself from being subject to His pleasure; (Ids is Faith in good earnest, this is Faith founded upon true knowledge: He knoweth God indeed, who dareth thus trust Him. Let others trust God for salvation, but my spirit can never rest, till it dares God witli salvation. — Isaac Penington. True Eternal Peace. Now he who will in love give his whole diligence and might thereto, will verily come to know that true Vernal peace which is God Himself, as far as that is possible to a creature; insomuch that what was bitter to him before shall become sweet, and his heart shall remain unmoved under all changes, at all times, and after this life he shall attain unto everlasting peace.—Theologia Germanica.
