In every work in the house of God he be
gan to seek God. That is the greatest out
side help one can have. Seek God in the
doing of your work. in doing right. No
one can hope to stand unless he seeks
the direction OF God. David had God for
his help. Solomon acknowledged the at
tempt to rule the great people was too
great without Gods help. Lincoln said he
depended God Bismarck, writing TO
his wife. said il was all with God. Glad
stone said in conversation that there was
little else to seek or TO know or TO help.
He trusted in God. Victoria, at the be-
ginning of her reign, devoted her heart 10
God and her kingdom. HeZekiah sought
God in his work. The only way to right.
There are two things which Hezekiah
did. They involve many things. The first
involved principles. This is summed up
in three words. Good. right and truth are
the three. He desired to know he was
right before he began his work, then he
desired to know he had truth on his side.
That was the thing necessary. He would
fail without il. Then he wished TO do the
good. 1t was not sufficient TO have the
right and truth, for in the pursuing of his
purpose he might lack the good. L have
known many men 10 be morally right,
many men to work along the lines of
truth, but they were so hasty. so crusty,
so cranky, so easily incensed, so quickly
offended they lost the respect of many and
their work fell to the ground. L have in
mind a man who was straight as a string,
as most people said. but he was muliSh,
he was uncompromising, everything had TO
go his way and thus his influence became
negative. The cause did not prosper, and
an institution with which he connected
made little advancement. Other inStitu-
uons were booming, but not so that Men
must do things through kindness to others.
When they fail to do that then the people
find out and even turn against the man
doing the right.
THE next thing seen as a result was his
faithfulness. All he did in the service of
the house of God, in the law and in the
commandment three things, he had God
on his side. All, how much faithfulness
and service have to do with the results of
righteousness! The law and the com
mandments cannot be ignored. What is
Gods law? Heed it. What are the COM
mandments? You cannot violate them and
succeed. Now, Hezekiah followed with
true heart, in a good way, to observe the
law and commandments in his service of
Gods house. Can we do less and sue
ceed?
THE final result of his good doing. heart
service, and righteousness is summed up in
a word, prospered. If desires to pros
per, he must follow God with all his heart.
Many men come down TO the pit, down to
the prison, down to the cell, down to mis-
cry and infamy because they do not serve
God. The truly prosperous man is the
God-fearing man. If out of the
way of righteousness, what can bring to
the way? There must be inward action
springing from the heart and we will do
everything good

Now let us continue and see in rapid and
large strides, historically, the why of the
flood. While not thinking for a moment
that it covered the entire earth, the teach
ing is evry clear that it did cover the hab-
liable world-the world of men-and the
Genesis of account throughout is an ac-
count OF Gods teaching and purposes
touching men. After centuries of time and
vast millions of a population the wicked
ness of men became such that their de-
struction seemed 10 be necessary TO the
saving OF the race, and this is a gospel
fact in Genesis. That such is the great
ness of the divine love and richness of the
divine purpose for man that an inCOrTigible
generation shall be swept from the earth
or rather than end posterity in final ruin
God will begin TO repeople the earth from a
WOrthier remnant.
