he would worship them. Anything
for success. There was no limit of
heathendom to which he would not
ko. This wastrel king worshiped
the idols of his neighbors, set up
their shrine among Gods people,
and even adopted Molock, the fiery
god to whom children were sacri-
iiced. Ali the heather practices
against which the very existence of
the Jewish nation was a protest,
were accepted by this popularity
seeking. time-serving young king.
All sense of sanctity seemed gone
from him for he withheld not the
treasures of the temple from his con-
querors.
When a good man goes wrong, he
sometimes goes farther wrong than
the one who never held his ideals.
This peril is in front of every Chris
tian. They fall farthest and hardest

no prodigals like those who have
come from noblest homes. Ahaz is
an admonition. There is a terrible
possibility for bad in the best of us
