The story of Hezekiah, son of Ahaz.
who reigned twenty-nine years in Je-
rusalem and who did right in the sight
of the Lord, working good and right
and truth before the Lord his God
and doing it with all his heart, so
that there was none like him among
all the kings of Judah either before
him or after him In the matter of
trusting in the Lord God of Israel III

81 we see more clearly the monstrous
sin of AhaZ and the great contrast in
his son, whose name signifies the
strength of Jehovah and which he so
well illustrated during the greater part
of his life. Our lesson chapter tells
of the great passover Which he kept
for oil Israel from Dan to Beersheba,
and this feast always points us in
three directions-to the night of the
nations birth. to Christ our passover
crucified for us and to the reblrth of
the nation in the future when they
shall be gathered from all nations and
the passover shall be fulfilled in the
kingdom Of God.
Let us look a little at the rest of
his story before we take UP the days
lesson. He began his good reign by
opening the doors Of the house Of the
Lord. which his wicked father had
closed up. and by cleansing the temple
of its iilthiness. which occupied them
sixteen days xxx. 80, IL. He set
the priests and Leyites to work with
the inspiring and encouraging words
of xxx. II. and. having restored the
vessels which his father had cast
away, he made atonement for all
Israel and had the true worship re-
stored with praises and gladness and
rejoicing xxx. "a, 30. 36l. Then they
kept the great passover. sending inyi-
tations throughout all Israel and Ju-
dab urging all to turn 10 the Lord
God of Abraham. Isaac and Israel and
yield themselves unto the Lord xxx,
1-9).
Although some laughed the invita-
ton TO scorn and Knocked. there were
those of Asher and Manasseh and
| Zebulun who humbled themselves and
came to Jerusalem to keep the feast

keeping the feast of unleayened bread

spake to the heart of all the Levites,
that the whole assembly took counsel
TO keep the feast seven days more,
which they did with gladness. and
there was not so great joy in Jerusa-
lem since the time of Solomon. The
praise and prayer were heard in
heaven, the habitation of His holt

tween this and the sin and unbelief

to understand just a little better the
contrast between Israefs present I'M

an arm of flesh, but with us is the
Lord our God to help us and to fight
our battles" Hezekiah, the king, and
the prophet Isaiah prayed and cried
to heaven as they spread the wicked
letters before the Lord and asked the

His people and because of His name,

ShackIeton Says
Draft Will Save
American Brains
Volunteer System Cost Britain
Specialists, Inventors and
Scientists. Asserts Explorer

The selectiye draft finds a strong adj
yocate in Lieutenant Sir Ernest II.
Shackleton. the Antarctic explorer, who
arrived in New York yesterday. on his
way to report at London for duty on a
special mission. The world, he said,
would have to look TO America for the
next thirty years for its specialists, in
ventors and scientists, and only by
saving these by selectiye CONSUMPTION
would the United States be able to per-
form this great service.
"Selecrive CONSUMPTION" he said, as
signs these specialists to the posts
where they will do the most good for
the country, instead of sacrificing them
in the trenches. | am satisfied that
volunteering is the costliest system IN
the long run. The volunteer system
fails at the crucial moment. for there
comes a time when all of the high
hearted have volunteered and recruit
ing dwindles away.
Australia Learning a Lesson
THAT is what is happening in Aus
tralia, where conscriptiOn was defeated
BY popular vote. Australia already has
contributed 100000 men out of a total
population of about 100000, but /.
requires a monthly quota of $1,000 TO
keep this force up to strength. and al
ready there are signs that the supply
of men TO be secured by volunteering
is approaching exhaustion. The Aus
tralians are learning their lesson, and
think that William Hughes, the Pre-
mer. and his supporters will carry con-
scription.
"Engiand's losses in brains under the
volunteer system have been incalcula-
BILE. Our specialists are being destroyed
on the battlefield. America should profit
by the mother country's mistake"
Sir Ernest predicted that the war
would last several years longer.
You know" he said, chow often in
the past a beleagured city has held out
on a diet of rats after all the food was
gone. Now you have beleaguered ma
ton. and a nation, too. which has not
even had the mortar scratched from it's
own buildings.
