The history of Hezekiah, we see the
picture of the very best of kings the son
of the worst Judah had long been 60
ing downward. King Ahaz, during his
reign had made Judah perfect wilder
ness of crime and wrong-doing, and had
made it practically a province of Assyria,
impoverished by Heavy tributes, and the
people divided against themselves, In
this condition Hezekiah found the King
dom upon ascending the throne. He was
twenty-five years old at the time of be-
ginning his reign, and was just the young,
vigorous, right-minded sovereign to lift
his fallen Kingdom from the degradation
into which it had fallen. He sought to
avoid doing as his father did, and to pat
tern his life after that of his ancestor,
David. He destroyed all forms of idola-
try, even to the brazen serpent of Moses,
when he found that it had become an OBJ
ject of worship. He re-opened the temple,
and directed the forms of worship toward
the temple of the living God. In con-
trast with the bold stand of the good
King Hezekiah, and the success of his
reign, was the downfall of Israel, which
had wandered away from God, and the
bearing away of the people into cap
tivity.
Samaria, the capital of the ten tribes,
was attacked by Shalmanezer, king of
Assyria, but was not captured by him'
but by his successor, Sargon. Hoshea,
the last king of Israel was probably
taken, as a prisoner, to Nineveh, before
the capture of his city. The people were
served in a manner customary in the
wars Of the times. sent away into differ
ent nationals, that tribal relations might
become lost. 1t is probable that Halah
was the region afterward known as
I Gauzanit, north of the river Euphrates.
Habor, by the river Gazan-this being
the river Khabour, which flows into the
Euphrates.
The reign of Hezekiah teaches us how
God prospers those of his servants who
are faithful, who seek to strengthen His
Kingdom among men, who obey His
law, and worship Him, and how he sends
defeat and destruction to those who
spurn His gospel, scott at the story OF
His power, and give way to idolatry
Strive to serve the Lord faithfully; per-
nit no form of worship to claim the at
tention save the worship of the true God

LESSON VII HeZekiah's Good Reign.
2 Kings Is. 1-12.


Now itcame to pass in the third year OF
Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Heze-
kiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah, began ito
reign.
| Twenty and five years old was he when he
| began to reign: and he reigned twenty and nine
years in jerusalem. His mothers name also
| was Abb, the daughter of Zachariah.
And he did that which is right in the sight
Of the Lord, according to all that David his
father did.
He removed the high places, and brake the
| images and cut down the groves, and brake in
pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had made !:
for unto those days the children of Israel did
burn incense to it and he called it Nehushtan.
He trusted in the Lord God of Israel; so
that after him was none like him among all the
kings of Judah, por any that were before him.
For he clave to the Lord and departed not
f1om following him, but kept his command
ments, which the Lord commanded Moses.
And the Lord was with him; and he pros
pered whithersoever he went forth: and he re-
belled against the king of Assyria, and served
him not.
8 He smote the Philistines, even unto GAIA,
and the borders thereof, and the tower of the
watchmen to the fenced city.
And it came to pass in the fourth year of
king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of
Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shall
maneser king OF Assyria came up against Sa-
maria, and beseged it,
10 And at the end of three years they took it:
even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is the
ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel. Samaria
taken
IL And the king of Assyria did carry away
Israel unto Assyria, and put them in Halah
and in Habor by the river of Gozan and in the
cities of the Medes:
II Because they obeyed not the voice of the
Lord their God, but transgrassed his covenant,
and all that Moses the servant of the Lord COM
manded, and would not hear them, nor do them.

worse she Is one OF our most graceful and
charming ladies'. She rode over to Albany
the day before so as to have her horse
fresh on the 4th. The ladies were told to
be on the ground mounted at 10 A. NJ. She
was there. All day long in the hot sun
she sat on her horse waiting for the ride.

Fatal Accident near Lebanon.

Last Sunday afternoon about two o'clock
Samuel Rice and another boy named
Temple were riding horseback on the road
between Lebanon and Wsterioo, having
inst been at Sodaville, when at the sug-
ression OF one of tue boys, they started
their horses at full speed to see which
would reach certain point first, On
reaching a small bridge young Rlce's
horse stumbled throwing him over his
head on the bridge. 1t Is thought the
horse in some manner fell on him, for
when reached by the Powell boy and
others who were summoned, his head was
mutillated and cut up In a shocking man
ner. DIR. Powell, OF Lebanon, who hap
pened to be driving in the vicinity at tbe
time, was gotten on the spot few mo-
ments later but nothing could be done.
About fifteen minutes after the accident
while taking young Rice to house near
by he breathed his last. The accident
caused great excitement among the many
freouenters Of SodAvills and Waterloo,
universal regrets being expressed as well
as sympathy for the relatives and friends

The Markets.

The pgice OF wheat remains ss stationary,
and maybe 4st down as uncertain, as an
European war. All speculation as to what
the quotations will be in the future are very
unsatisfactory. Il is easy to figure out either
high or low prics. A smlll crop in the U.
s. with a COED crop abroad could easily be
nodded into small figures. Without big
war it is difficult to make quotations high.

cents. The wool ma.ket, though much wool
