Josiah CA religious reformer) IL
Kings 23:1-5, 21-23, for August !:
Josiah, the son Of Anon who serv-
ed idols, had special religious
training likely from his mother; he
became king at eight years of age;
in the repairing of the temple the
book of the law was discovered and
it was reported to Josiah who like
ly read Gods judgments when the
nation forgot him.
v. /. "And the king sent and
they gathered to him all the elders
of judah and Jerusalem" Josiah
would have the national leaders
know Gods truths that they might
set the good example of repenting
of their sins and consecrating them
selves to God.
v. 2. "And the king went up to
the house of Jehovah and all the
men Of Judah and all the inhabi-
tants of Jerusalem with him and
the priests and the prophets, and
all the people, both small and great;
and he read in their ears all the
word of the book of the covenant
which was found in the house OF
jehovah" Bible reading has a good
effect. All people need to know the
teachings of God as set forth in the
Scriptures. 1t is only folly to think
that God speaks mysteriously when
He will not be heard through His
word
V. 8. ''And the king stood by the
pillar. and made a covenant before
Jehovah to walk after Jehovah, and
to keep his commandments, and his
testimonials, and his statutes, with
all his heart, and all his soul to
confirm the words Of this covenant
that were written in his book; and
all the people stood to the light: 1t
is not enough; knowledge must lead
to firm resolutions and resolutions
must lead to prompt and vigorous
actions.
V. 4. "And the king commanded
Hilkiah the high priest, and the
priests of the second order, and the
keepers of the Threshold. to bring
forth out of the temple of Jehovah
all the vessels that were made for
Baal, and for the Asherah and for
all the host of heaven; and he burn
ed them without Jerusalem and car
ried the ashes of them to Bethel" :"
To destroy every vestige of Baalism
was the first necessity. 1t is the
heart pre-occupied by the world, by

sinful things, that makes it impos-
sible for God to enter. The idols
must be cast out, the temple of the
heart must be cleansed.
V. 5. "And he put down the idol
atrous priests, when the king of Ju-
dab had ordained to burn incense
in the high places in the cities Of
judah and in the places round
about Jerusalem The human
heart, even though washed clean,
If left empty, only affords greater
opportunity than ever for the re-
turn of even greater iniquities.
When the evil is destroyed, good
must come in to take it's place. Jo-
siah showed deep piety and holy
courage to proclaim the truth in the
face of sacred traditions and &C.
clesiasticism; it must be remember
ed that righteousness exalteth a
nation.''
V.21. ''And the king command
ed all the people saying, Keep the
Passover unto Jehovah your God, as
it is written in the book of the Gov
enant.' The Feast of the Passover
had special significance in that Is.
rael was called to remem brance
of Gods dealing and special provi-
dences in their return from Egyp-
tian slavery. The Holy Communion
service of the church has a cores
ponding significance in calling to re-
membrance "Christ our Passover
sacrificed for u.s.
v. %. ''Surely there was not
kept such Passover from the days
of the judges of Israel that judged
Israel, nor in all of the kings of
Israel, nor of the kings of Judah. y
With gross idolatry banished and
God once more given his rightful
place, the people were in that spirit
ual frame of mind to celebrate this
sacred feast.
V. 23. But in the eighteenth
year of king Josiah was this pass
over kept to Jehovah in Jerusalem. .
Josiah acted wisely early in life but
Israel had wandered so far from
God that destruction was staid off
only for a little while. The con-
sequences of sin are awful.

tSabina.' That's the word that
will be in many mouths, for the
next few weeks.
Preaching service here next Sum
day evening at "early candle light, -
instead of the forenoon. Sunday
school at the regular hour.
Not many are equipped to make
the trip down to Sabina and enjoy
it like the Rev. M. r. Yoho. He
has a monstrous trailer he attaches
to his auto, which can be soon con-
verted into veritable dining car
and sleeper, one of the most ingen-
ious contraptions we ever saw
If there is such a thankless indi-
vidual as to complain about this not
being a good season for grass, mea-
dows, and growing corn, he ought
to be compelled to rusticate while
on the edge of Death Valley, with
his face toward the Funeral noun
thing when he sees it. The difficult
ty has been to harvest the crops on
account of frequent and heavy
rains.
Sunday afternoon this section was
visited with one of the heaviest gen.
eral down-pour of rain, causing all
streams to overflow, and bringing
this branch of Meigs creek up the
highest it has been this season, and
doubtless resulting in much loss to
crops on the Iowlands.
Is the blackberry that grows wild
and prolific on our farmland pub
lie property? We don't think so,
but we wonder. Squads of berry
come and rake over the fields just
as though they were the owners of
the land.
Bean beetles, and other bugs
that eat up your garden stuff-are
you bothered with them? Well, Just
sprinkle some relief -four on the
foliage and you'll not likely be
troubled any more. The presump-
ton is that these pests will get so
dog-goned lazy that they'll not work
any more. For further particulars,
ask Harry Harlan, at the flour and
feed store.
Can anyone help us correct this
sentence: He wanted to take a
VI LIN, Uut uO uluH want TO drink
alone; and he raked the town from
one end to the other to find some
one to drink with him.
1t seems to US that the state
highway department has real
problem on hands, one that is go
ing TO be hard to solve They tar
the roads and when this soaks in
and becomes firmly plastered down
making an ideal surface for auto
mobiles to glide over, then along
comes tractor with its sharp pro-
truding cleats and leaves two trails
Of rugged indentations seemingly
doing an inestimable amount of
damage to the smooth surface.
These tractors are very useful, per-
haps almost as much so as the auto
and they must be moved from place
to place, but how can that be done
without injury to the road? To us
1t looks like real proposition.

The Importance of Religion

President Angel in a baccalau-
reate sermon recently at Yale uni
versity said: Now it is my consid-
cred conviction that there can be no
enduring alienation of the social
and political ills which plague us,
unless and until there is an essen
tial change of ethical and spiritual
attitude in the rank and file of men
and this regardless of the special
form of government, whether abso-
lutist or demo mocratic, and regardless
of the particular economic order,
whether capitalist, socialist or
something else. This position, If
taken seriously, implies a long,

Mayor Watkins Fines Own
er of Three Machines
$500 and Costs

T. j. Farrar, white, was fined 500
and costs in each Of three warrants
today in Municipal Court before
Mayor Irvine B. Watkins, charging
him with the possession, renting and
leasing Of slot machines, the same
being illegal as prescribed by the law
Of North Carolina.
The machines were Of the horse
race" type, and were taken. by offic-
ers last Friday morning from Kclly's
Sport shop, Recreation Billiard Par
lor and Carolina Soda Shop.
The case was tried before q six
man jury made up of H. C. Ander-
son, n. A. Tucker, x. p. Davis,
Garland Greenway, j. C. Mann and
G.. d. Hamm.
Farrar had been issued license for
the machines by the city clerks Of
flee for the operation Of the machines
1t was explained there today that the
law requires the tax collector Of the
city to issue license on the preSump-
tiOn that the devices are legal, and
it remains for the city law enforce
ment body to determine whether the
machines are legal or not. The APP
plicant for license is supposed to ap-
ply for license only for legal machines.
