IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School ' Lesson ’ (By REV P. B FITZWATER, D.D, Teacher of English Bible In the Moody Bible Insti- ■ J tute ot Chicago.) I (($, 1924. Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for May 11 , JEHOIADA’S VICTORY OVER BAAh LESSON TEXT—II Kin K s 11:1-18. GOLDEN TEXT—“Be strong in the Lord, and in the power or Ills might.” —Eph. 6:10. PRIMARY TOPIC—A Kind Woman Saves a Baby King. JUNIOR TOPIC—The Story of a Boy King. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPI —God's Hand in Human Affairs. ! YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP- ' IC—What Jehoiada Meant to Judah. Joash, viewed in the light of his an- ,। cestors, was a poor prospect for a • king. His grandmother was the wicked Athaliah and his great-grand-parents were Ahab and Jezebel. There was enough bud 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, (vv. 1-3). 1. Her Attempt to Destroy the Seed Royal (v. 1). In order to remove any rightful claimant to the throne she ; tried to kill all the royal male children. The act was not of sudden impulse, but of deliberate purpose. 2. Joash Preserved by Jehosheba (vv. 2,3). Though Athaliah was keen eyed, she was checkmated by another woman. This woman, the wife of the priest, stole away this child and hid I him away in a bedchamber for six I years. God had promised that through the Davidic line the Messiah should come. In order that this line be unI broken Joash must be preserved. No ! purpose of God can fail. 11. Joash Crowned King (vv. 4-12). 1. Jehoiada’s Preparations (vv. 4- : 11). The high priest and his wife ; were strong characters. As the high • priest, Jehoiada felt that it was his I duty to thwart the heathen project of Athaliah. His wife's co-operation ; made possible the saving of Joash. j (1) Seeks the aid of the military leadi ers (v. 4). He knew somehow that j these men were not loyal to Ath- ; aliah. (2) He took an oath of them in the house of the Lord (v. 4). He bound them to their agreement by every available means. (3) He Incited 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 to the throne, they would risk । everything, even their lives, in order to set him on the throne. (4) He co-ordinates all matters ! (vv. 5-11). The soldiers were divided i into companies and arms were distributed to them. Each group was assigned to specific duties. 2. The Coronation (v. 12). (1) The king’s son brought forth. , This was a great day In Jerusalem. (2) Put the crown upon him. This j was the formal induction Into office. (3) Gave him the testimony. This was a copy of the law indicating that ■ the king was to rule according to the i law of God. The art of putting the I law on his head showed that tne king himself would be under control of the I law. (4) Made him king. This shows that | he had been made king by the choice j of the people. (5) Anointed him. They poured oil upon his head. This was the usual ; method of consecrating prophets. priests and kings. (6) Clapped their hands. This was a token of joy. The deed being done, | they were ready to publicly proclaim ft They shouted "Long live the king." 111. Althaliah Slain (vv. 13-17). 1. The Noise of the Coronation of Joash Brought Athaliah to the Temple (v. 15). Up to this time she thought her place on the throne was secure and that her heathen religion had free course. 2. Her Doom (v. 14). Upon her arrival at the temple she saw the king wearing the crown and surrounded by guards so that she could do nothing. In her despair she exclaimed “Treason. treason.” This was not treason. ' but the triumph of right over wrong—the defeat of conspiracy and plot- : ting. 3. Athaliah Executed (vv. 15. 16). I The orders were that she should not be 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. God Is on His throne. Although He waits long, His righteous purpose shall prevail and the wicked shall be destroyed. ( IV. Worship of the People (vv. 17, 18). Joash was seven years old when he was made king. The high priest made a covenant between the Lord, the king j and the people that they would be the Lord’s people. In carrying out this covenant they broke down the temple of Baal and slew the priests of Baal. God Knows God knows the number of our trials, our sorrows and our burdens. He knows the reasons why we should endure them. These reasons for permit ting them are abundant. But best ol all He knows how to gauge and apportion the trials of our spiritual strength and endurance. Out of them all He I will safely bring the soul that trusts In Him to perfection in holiness. — Western Recorder. The Goal We must remember that the goal of prayer is the ear of God. Unless that is gained the prayer has utterly failed. The uttering of it may have kindled devotional feeling in our minds, the hearing of it may have comforted, and strengthened the hearts of those with whom we have prayed, but if the prayer has not gained the heart of God. it has failed in its essential purpose. —Spurgeon.

THIS BRIGHT BABY GIRL Brought Joy to Home. M. j. Price’s Health Restored Ly Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Scootac,Pa. —“I never felt like working, and when I would try to do any

Y„ that there isn’t any money in farming, they would reply, “You don’t know beans." These boys, members of a junior extension club, borrowed money from a hunk last spring, hired one and onehalf acres of hind, hired a tractor to plow and harrow it, staked off six equal shares and planted beans. When the crop was ready for shell purposes, they had 144 bushels, which they shipped by truck to the Boston mar- ' ket. With the return., they paid oft the notes and had a net profit of $73.- j 77, which paid them more than $1 an hour fur the time they actually spent. i i —Boston Globe.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect It Applicants for Insurance Should Use Swamp-Root Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for । its remarkable record of success. An examining physician for one of the ' prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why ®o many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American peopde, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation, send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing, be sure and mention this paper.—Advertisement. Historical Novelties Exhibited in London Although e^tihited in a massive building in one of the busiest parts of London, a wonderful collection of historical novelties is very rarely looked at by Londoners. This collection is in the museum of the public record office. Chancery lane. In this museum one may see the famous Domesday book, which contains information about the estates « f landowners recorded by or- ■ der of William the Conqueror for fiscal purposes. American visitors to London always make a point of seeing it, as also do provincial visitors —but very few I^ondoners take the trouble to view it. There are dozens of letters —humorous, quaint, angry and dramatic —written by kings and queens of history, to be read by anyone who walks into the museum. And no fee is demanded.

Europeans Turning From Billiards to Golf Links Billiards, first played so long ago that even historians have been baffled In their efforts to trace its origin, is losing popularity in Europe, according to various authorities, who attribute this to the general increase of interest in golf. There are no positive records Just where and when the game of billiards began, but some historians report that liming the rambles of Anacharsis. the Mcythian philosopher, through Greece and other countries in quest of knowledge, lie witnessed a "game analogous to billiards.” and he liked It very much. Catkire More, king of Ireland in the Second century. Is known to have left behind him 55 billiard balls of brass, with pools and cues of the same material. Billiards became popular in France during the reign of Louis XIV, whose physician recommended this form of exercise.

Gorgeous Visiting Cards Mrs. Burton Kingsland, author of “Etiquette for All Occasions," says that “in the early days, when everybody's v’siting cards strove to be individual, the resulting products must have looked not unlike the old-fash-ioned valentines dear to our childhood. We read of creations made out of paper or cardboard finished with a sheen to imitate silk, enamel or what not —perhaps bordered with lace paper that framed a hand-painted landscape. The owner's name—though the raison d'etre of the card—was really the least of it, but might be discovered in a graceful scroll evolving from the beak of a little bird a-singing in a tree top.” According to Mrs. Kingsland, even so late as the 1840 s, young men of fashion affected a card highly glazed with the name in such microscopic characters as to be almost illegible, which bad succeeded the custom of engraving a facsimile of the owner's signature.—Detroit News.
