Danger, Duty, Destiny.

The hour of triumph IL the time of
greatest danger. Many q man and ma
ton have stood the stress OF storm,
sacrifice and struggle only to find that
they could not stand the moral strain
of prosperity.
In announcing the law of spiritual
reciprocity the prophet pointed out to
the victorious army their greatest
danger War has too often turned the
face of the victorious nation away from
God, the ruler Of nations and of men.

Asa was reminded by the spirit filled

There is danger that. We may be mis-
led in our judgment of Asa's achieve
ments by the title to our lesson, which
gives us only a glimpse into Asa's long
reign of forty-one years. The extend
ed account given by the Chronicles is
due to Asa's loyalty to Jehovah.
Our lesson comes In the second period
of his reign. During the first period
he had instituted a superficial reform
that was followed. as We learn from
the preceding chapter. by period OF

his Egyptian army found Judah ready
for her defense. but her trust was not
in the army that was outnumbered by
the invading force two to one. but in
the power of Jehovah, to whom the king
turned in prayer before the battle at
Mareshah.
God responded to the cry of His
servant and enabled Judah to admin

plan forces.
1t was after this victory that gave
Judah freedom from attack by Egyp-

Why mosquitoes?

Why mosquitoes?
We have pondered deeply over the
strange things of this existence. We
have wondered at cyclones and VOL

and poison snakes, but the most amaz-
ing phenomenon, in a world supposed
to be good in the main. is the mosquito.
Because the poison he injects is for
no reason conceivable. It seems. to be
Just pure cussedness
The rattlesnake strikes to defend
himself. The skunk will not distribute
his perfumery unless he Is in danger.
The lion kills for food. Hunger. and
not malice, governs the predatory
eagle. Even man. the most relentless
and successful of brutes. kills cattle
shoes, and shoots grouse ostensibly to
adOrn his table.
The tornado may be the only way of
restoring the equilibrium Of the. air,
to some sort Of terrestrial indigestion.
But the mosquito! If it's blood he needs
to keep him going, we cannot blame
him. One way or another all creatures
live upon their fellows.
But he doesn't need to poison to get
his meal. The poisoning is wholly I'M
necessary and superf1uous.

places. His own mother had her shrine
dedicated to a heather god.
Others had theirs. All must be de-
stroyed and God worshiped by all the
people if they were to continue to be
watchcare of their God.
The reformer that is in earnest has
no easy road against the inroads of
vested interests that control the privi-
leges of sin and iniquity. The one that
carries on a spiritual reform with all
his soul will find that he is we'll rein
forced by the power of God, who will
strengthen him and lead him on to vic
tory.
Our destiny depends upon how we, as
individuals and a nation, try to carry
out the divine will, for He will reward
US for our service. no matter how tfiv-
ial it may be. We must submit to His
to reward our efforts.
Saul thought he was doing Gods will
when he prosecuted the church; but he
found out when his eyes were opened
that he had not been serving Jehovah.
Much Of the labor performed today
for God, we will find when the records
of the judgment are opened, has not
been for the glory of the Christ.
When the Lord Jesus shall give unto
us according to our works the reward
of our labor we may find that we, like
Saul, have been serving some other
master.
God is with US in our contests to
make conquests certain. only when we
are complying with His commands.
Obedience to the divine command
brought a revival Of religion during
which the people renewed their cove

the Lord.

The President and Congress and the

plans for making this possible. The
first suggestion Is to double the ca

be placed on the reserve officers list:
