History repeats itself. Action is fol-
lowed by reaction. The pendulum
swings from one extreme to another
Prolonged periods Of religious reforma-
sons of religious reaction. Following
the reign OF the faithful Hezekiah,
there came under his son, Manasseh,
who succeeded his father as King OF
Judah. a complete reversion of the re-
ligious practices and policies that had
characterized his fathers administra-
ton. The apostacy of Manasseh.
whose mother, according to Jewish ira
ditions, was a daughter of the prophet
Isaiah, indicates that heredity Is not
the determining factor in deciding
character. The king, who was only a
boy when he commenced to rule, evil
IDENTIFY fell under the influence of re-
dictionaries. He was guided by their
ministration. so that he uprooted the
religious reforms inaugurated by his
father. and did that which was evil in
the sight of the Lord"
Manasseh's reign was the longest in
the history of Judah. He surpassed all
his predecessors in iniquity, and by
his sin settled irrevocably the doom
of Judah. Two accounts are given of
his rule. The parallel account In II
Kings. 81, contains fuller and more
detailed record Of Manaeseh's sin than
the lesson does, and states that his
mothers name was Hephztbah. 1t

and Jerusalem for his sins, through

had place in the history of Gods
people. The dreadful nature Of Ma
nasseh's sin was due no doubt to the
evil influence of some of the chief
counselors of Hezekiah. whom Isaiah
had denounced in no measured terms.
1t was due to their sinister influence
that Manasseh. who had been trained
in the precepts of Jehovah, who ought
to have been Influenced by the example
to the warnings OF the prophets, but
entered upon life of sin.
The heather practices of the reli-
gious cults of Palestine were so foul
and degrading that they ought to have
been put down by force, as they would
today. yet Manasseh did worse than
