Moreover. there were in the

had spent their lives studying
the subject. Old age pension

states and other forms of social
security were IN existence. The
business of insurance finance is
a study which claims a large

were experts who knew what

these matters.
One OF the strange episodes
of these years is that a group
of statesmen would undertake
to set up a social security plan
and deliberately exclude from
their deliberations nearly all the
men who really knew about the
subject.

the combat as a continuation of

In the latter encounters, Japanese

healed of if God is to bless our land.
Nv. A Feast of Joy and Blessing.
The nation and it's leaders kept the
feast not only for seven days, for
they were not satisfied with this, but
they kept it for seven more days.

If we did, we would seek His house

we would receive some of the great
blessings which came to the people

The way out-that seems to be the
chief object Of the search of men.
The world is in what seems like
hopeless confusion with the immi-
nent danger of a devastating explo-
sion which may in the judgment OF
some destroy civilization. Politics.
economics, education, yes. even re-
hgion. have tried their hands at
solving the problem and we seem to
be worse off than ever. Conditions
are much as they we're when Heze-
klah came to the throne after the
death of his wicked father Ahab.
who had brought Judah into moral,
spiritual, and national declension
and disgrace
The young king brought the ma
ton back within a few years to
peace and prosperity. How did he
do 1t? He did not do it. God did it,
and He did it because Hezekiah re-
membered Him and led His people
in return to God, in a recognition
of His Word. and to restored wor-
ship. God therefore prospered them.
1t is significant that while our les
son is about King Hezekiah, his per-
son quickly recedes into the back
ground of our thinking and God is
given our attention and our praise.
Truly great men do not magnify
themselves or their own names, but
point by their very greatness to the
eternal God to whom they give the
glory. Let us consider how God
worked through HeZekiah.
l. A Cleansed Temple.
Our lesson calls for attention to
the context. Read chapter 20 and
learn how the priests and Levites
first were directed by the king to
cleanse the temple which had suf-
fered degradation and disgrace un-
der King Ahab. Sixteen days were
devoted to thorough cleanup.
That's a good place to start
America, how about cleaning up our
churches? Some of them need atten-
ton to their physical property.
cleaning and rehabilitation Others
are beautifully kept up as far as
the building is concerned. but the
rubbish is in the teaching and in the
manner of worship. Let's clean that
up too.
III. A Prepared Priesthood.
Hezekiah gathered the scattered
priests and Levites. but he did not
permit them to serve in the temple
until they had been sanctified and
prepared for their work. The men
who stand in the sanctuary to direct
the worship of God must not only be
men of Gods own choosing, but they
must be cleansed by the blood. AS
the sacrifices were offered in Heze-
kiah's day. so for us has One been
given in holy sacrifice and unless
those who profess to be His min
listers have been cleansed by His
blood they have no proper place in
His service or in the sanctuary.
III A Purified People.
