Religious Reforms in Judah
Lesson for June 8: II Kings 22:
I0-ff: %: is. II.
Memory Selection: Psalms llS:
81.
Manasseh, son Of Hezekiah. was q
wicked monarch who did all ne
could to undo the works OF his ia
ther. His son, Anon, was no better.
But Hezekiah's grandson, Josiah,
was one Of the most pious kings
OF history.
At twenty-six Josiah began the
renovation Of the temple. Then was
discovered a book. probably Deuter-
onomy. which had escaped the et-
forts Of Mannasseh to stamp out the
religion Of Jehovah. The reading OF
the book had q profound effect upon
Josiah.
With all the chief men Of Jeru-
salem about him, the young king
made q covenant before Jehovah
ito keep his commandments" and
call the people stood to the coven-
ant" The abominable things Of
pagan worship were removed from
the temple, burned In the fields Of
Kidron, and the ashes taken to
Bethel. Finally Josiah ordered e
great passover to be kept.
Great as was the zeal OF Josiah,
the reforms he inaugurated did not
last, due, no doubt, to their being
enforced by royal decree and to their
failure to change the hearts Of the
people. The young ruler could not
bring his people to conversion.
Many today so neglect the Bible
that 1t Is a lost book to them. Let
them rediscover II as the word of
life. Let them put down the modern
idols that have separated them from
God, and offer unto him the sacri-
fees of broken and contrite hearts.

Bigfork Road Status
Gets Further Airing

The question of who will put the
road to Bigfork in shape is still up
in the air today.
Saturday morning, Flathead
commissioners held a public meet
ing attended by so persons, mostly
from Bigfork. The county COM
missioners maintained that the
state had agreed to reconstruct the
road from it's junction with high
way No. 2 to the lake shore. In
volved was an agreement where
this construction would have pri-
ority over building a feeder road
from Somers to Holt.
Last Thursday, A. F. Winkler,
state highway commission chair
man, declared that once the east
shore road from it's junction with
No. 2 to Poison was built
it became the responsibility of Flat
head and Lake counties to keep 1t
in shape. The road is now pot
holes"-or miniature wells"
The official county paper, the
Flathead Monitor, yesterday, pre-
scented a detailed account.
Bigfork residents, meanwhile
prefer to use their own detours-
dirt roads or fields.
