THE TREASURE

tottt III Vao w. bfss
during the special meetings held at the
Methodist Church.
THE BURIED TREASURE
Rev. Albert fiartt
And Hilkiah, the high priest, said
II have found the book Of the law in
the House of the Lord" 2 Kings 22.S.
1t was by accident the Book al
found. Small credit, that, TO the
priests and wo~rshippers In tho temple.
The temple itself was beautiful enough
and worthy enough, TO be repaired.
But the thought OF the priests and the
people OF Israel was not on the Book.
II the Book had been the very founda-
tion and inspiration Of all their wor-
ship, they had forgotten the fact. IL
the Book had been the very life and
guide of the nation, that too had been
forgotten. 1t vas not surprising that
a Book that was denied az place. that
was removed from altar or pulpit to
table, and from table to- shelf, and
from shelf to closet, should finally
become lost and forgotten, and should
have gone down under a lot of debris.
What a tribute to the power OF the
Book! That though discovered here
in the temple, under a lot OF ruins, dis
covered by ,cident-a Book that had
been SO mistreated-that its value and
power recognized again, the Boo
should have started right in again, as
IL there had bten no history OF awful,
shameful neglect, to reveal its wealth
and display its power! That is the
z- at. aaoidanfaI d~iaoOvarv nj
the Bible in the temple, under a grea,
pile of debris. When the priest
brought it out, and showed 1t to the
king, and the king began to see, In ths
light of this Book, the shameful neg
lect of the people and the baseness o.
their idolatry, why then the Book be
gan to assert itself. 1t gave powel
to the arm OF the king. 1t strengthen
ed and emboldened the spirit OF tn
king. II restored the righteous reigI
iof God over the nation. The Boo
J found by Hilkiah when the priest wa
repairing the temple. in short, brougn
about a great revival OF the worship o
Jehovah by a people who had gone o.
into all kinds of idolatry.
This is the record of this wonderful
Book throughout all its history. Smal
wonder that we speak OF 1t as a Treas
ure. Nor indeed, since the story 9
the loss of this Book In the reign
Josiah and of his predecessors Is tn
story that also attends its history.
lit strange that we speak OF this Boo
as the Buried Treasure!

RAIN STARTS
SPRING BREAKUP
Hand County Streams Swollen BY
Rain and Melting SHOWS. b. &
Y. Damaged BY Flood Waters

Last weeks melting SHOWS, followed
by a good inch rain ended winter and
started this locality towards spring.
All Hand county streams were swol-
en- beyond their banks, but the going
out Of ice and water was SO gradual
that very little damage resulted. The
rain will take out frost evenly and
settle the ground for spring work.
Roads are a bit rough, but will soon
be In general use. The past six weeks
have brought out more horse vehicles
than usual for several years.
Flood Waters Damage Trail
Highmore. March 20.-F1ood waters
resulting from the melting OF the heavy
snowfall have caused serious damage
to the Black & Yellow automobile
highway east of Highmore.
A strip Of about three-fourths OF a
mile has been washed out, taking prac
tically all Of the sand and a consider
able part Of the grade.
II cost neary 500 a mile to con-
struct this highway and accordingly
the damage will be heavy.
The damage to the grade is said to
be due to the failure to open the cul-
verts along this stretch of the highway
SO the flood waters could run away
through them instead of over the
grade.
Ice Breaking Up I'm Rivers
Pierre, March 20.-According to the
official record, the ice started moving
in the Missouri river here Friday.
There has been but little rise In the
stream; in fact, it has been falling for
a day or two, and the ice flow has
been very light. In fact, so light that
outside of the official record the fact
Of the breakup has not been apparent.
The food waters from all the
streams as far up as the Moreau is
pretty well out, and there will be no
rush of ice unless II comes later from
farther up river.
