What were they doing when they found
this book of Moses?
What are we generally doing when
we find our richest treasures of spiritual
knowledge?
How could so important a book have
bem lost or mislaid?
Was this probably the only copy Of
the book in existence?
Verses 1S-19-What effect did the read
ing of this book of the law have upon
the king?
What part of the book would be likely
to produce such grief on the part of the
king? (See Deut., 80
What part of this book of the law
which pertains to morals is considered
operative and binding today?
You will observe that there are many
death penalties for breaches of the moral
law. Why have these been abolished BY
Christian people?
Did Jesus abolish any. OF the laws of
| Moses. and if SO which? See Matt,
| J:33-4i ct seq
| Why are some laws just and equal
| under certain circumstances, while cruel
! and unjust under others?
! What has been the effect of reading
the Bible upon rational and individual
| character?
| Verses 20-21-If these people did not
, have the book of the law how did they
| know their duty, or how to worship?
| Why was 1t necessary for the king TO
| inquire further of the Lord VIXEN he
now had the law in his hands?
If more light were needed why could
! not the king or Hilkiah the priest, in
quire of God direct?
| How did the saints of God, who lived
| hefore Moses, find out the mind of God
! Why are the penalties of moral law as
| unyielding and certain as are the pen
| alties of physical law?
! Verses 22-25-Why is il that there are
| and always have been those who are
| sensitive to the voice of God, when the
| masses OF even spiritual people are dull
| and unconscious of it?
| What is the reason for believing tina.
! all Christian people may cultivate the
| inward ear to discern the voice of God?
| How many women of the Bible are

| When We're these punishments inflicted
upon Judah? (See IL Chron., 35:11-20)
