seldom turned down. for the voters all have very
much the same interest in them.
But it would not be easy to propose and pass
state benefits Of which if there should
be benefits would be unevenly distributed the

of people against obligating themselves.
We cannot at this moment think Of single
enterprise for which it would be possible to secure
state bond issue. At one time but not within the
last three years might have been possible to issue
state road bonds, and such time may come again.
A few years hence all of Arizona may desire to bond
itself for it's part development of the waters
of the Colorado. Or there may be some other great
enterprise in which a large majority of the people
of the may wish participate but from which
they would be withheld by the present restrictions
of the constitution.
And anyhow, we think the people may be safely
trusted to say whether they shall incur bonded
Indebtedness or not. The amendment to Article TX

The Social Teaching of the Lesson
Aim.-To show how Uzziah's pride,
caused by success, brought about his
punishment and to indicate the perils
that attend prosperity today.
Introduction
1t is characteristic of both indi-
viduals and nations that in times of
success there is a far greater ten
dency toward Iaxness of morals and
low spiritual life than in times Of
difficulty or failure. We study today
the STORY of . very successful king
whose success caused him to become
irreverent to such an extent that a
grievous punishment was meted out
to him.
The Judah of the middle. of the
eighth century before Christ was
strong and prosperous among the
comparatively small states With
which if would naturally be com :
pared: and only Assyria and Egypt
Law entirely outside such comparison
Persia. Greece and Rome were I'd
come later on the stage of the great
powers. Uzziah did not neglect pa
tionaI defense. He had 1900 trained
officers. His army was large and
well equipped. His implements OF
war corresponded to our airplanes,
chemicals and submarines. He had
cunning inventors, as we have in our
laboratories. Nor did he neglect the
arts of peace He loved husbandry
had much cattle: and improved his
water supply From his sixteenth to
his sixty eighth year it is hard, on
economic, military or political
grounds to find much fault with UZ-
ziah. He must have had good ad-
visers in all departments, though we
have not much information about
| them. The country is said to De
Ihappy whose annals are few; and the

abroad We are marvelously helped

What now was Uzziah's fault and
wherein lies our peril? The answer

all of the great evangelical churches

manager threatened their income in
one of the great industrial centers-
and made good his threat. The Lusk
committee Of the New York senate
insinuated that it was because of
their small salaries that many min
listers were led into sympathy with
radical measures of social recon-
struction-much like those, we may
add, which were demanded by Amos,
Isaiah and the other prophets. These
are only trifles but they are Curl
ously reminiscent of the insolence
with which Uzziah the head Of the

their functions.

Sixteen years old was Uzziah
when he began to reign; and he
reigned fifty and two years in Jeru-
salem: and his mothers name was
Jechiliah, Of Jerusalem.
And he did that which was right
in the eyes of Jehovah, according to
all that his father Amaziah had done.
5 And he set himself to seek God
in the days of Zechariah, who had
understanding in the vision of God:
and as long as he sought Jehovah,
God made him to prosper.
15 And he made in Jerusalem en-
gines, invented by skillful men, to be
on the towers and upon the battle
ments, wherewith to shoot arrows
and great stones. And his name
spread far abroad; for he was mar
vellously helped, till he was strong.
16 But when he was strong his
heart was lifted up, so that he did
corruptly, and he trespassed against
Jehovah his God; for he went into
the temple of Jehovah to burn incense
upon the altar of incense.

unto Jehovah, but to the priests the
sons of Aaron, that are consecrated
to burn incense: go out of the sane
tuary: for thou hast trespassed: !:
neither shall it be for thine honor
from Jehovah God
19 Then Uzziah was wroth; and
he had a censer in his hand to burn
incense; and while he was wroth with
the priests, the leprosy brake forth
in his forehead before the priests in
the house of Jehovah, beside the altar
of incense.
90 And Azariah the chief priest,
and all the priests, looked upon him,
and, behold, he was leprous in his
forehead, and they thrust him out
quickly from thence; yea, himself
hasted also to go out, because Je-
hovah had smitten him.
II And Uzziah the king was a
leper unto the day of his death, and
dwelt in a separate house, being a
leper; for he was cut off from the
house Of Jehovah; and lothian his
son was over the kings house, judg-

These Arizona poppies, you may guess
In gay professions usher in the Spring;
They catch my fancy with their gorgeous dress
They thrill with the message that they bring.
For when / look think of other lands
Where poppies bloom above the soldier dead
To sing of silent hearts and folded hands,
Where once the earth was vibrant with their tread.
But here in Arizona's garden fair
The poppies nod and murmur in their sleep,
Tossing their beauty to the April air
Like stars that glitter in the azure deep.
They tell of pleasures not of wars alarms,
OF happy homes and teemng marts of toll;
OF fertile valleys with their fruitful farms,
Of riches in the mountains and the soil.
Smile on, We herads of joy untold,
Bedeck the hillsides and the verdant plains
With millions of your discs of shining gold
A harvest from the sunshine and the rains!

Editor Reynolds County Outlook:

greatly. | find the members earnest,
Industrious and painstaking in pass
ing upon the draft of the new Con-
stitution, to be submitted to the peo-
pie.
My weeks attendance here has
taught me that Senator Frank H.
Farris is an invaluable asset to this
Convention, because of his knowledge
of the nature of the work in hand,
and secondly, because of his ability
to express himself upon questions of
vital Importance. And / further find
from careful analysis of his conduct,
his speeches and his vote, that he is
certainly in harmony with the best
interest of the creates number in this
state.
This statement is made without the
knowledge Of Senator Farris and with
out hope of reward upon my part, but
in view of opinions both had and ex-
pressed by me in the past, feel that
It is but just upon my part to make
these statements. o. L. Munger,
