LESSON V JEHOSHAPHAT: A LIFE OF OBEDIENCE 2 Chroaiclet 17:1-19 Printad Text. â€" 2 Chronicle* 17:1-6; 9-12. Go)(!en Text. â€" Seek ye first hU kingdom, and his rifhteomness. Matt. 6:33. THK LKSSON IN ITS SETTING Tin'.e. â€" .Tdhoshaphat was born in 908 B.C.; he ascended the throne at the age of thirty-five in 873 B.C., and died in 849 B.C. Place. â€" Principally the city of Jerusalem. Prosperity of Jehosbapkat'e Reign 1-2. .\nd Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strength- en&d himself against Israel. And he placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken. Jehoshaphat as- cended the throne of Judah upon the death of his father, in 873 B.C., at the age of thirty-five, and reigned for a quarter of a cen- tury. Jehoshaphat was fortunate in being the son of a father who had himself left the kingdom of Judah stronger than he found it, just as many sons come into a large inheritance or fall heir to m well-established business because of the faithfulness and wisdom and enerpy of a good father. Jehos- haphat was an ideal son to sit up- on the throne of Judah in that he determined to carry on the com- mendable work that engaged his father's attention during his reign. Jehoshaphat was wise enough to know that a nation's permanent security and true wel- fare can rest only upon the solid rock of genuine religious convic- tions. 3-4. And Jehovah was with Je- hoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David antl sought not unto the Baalim. But sought to the God of his fa- ther, and walked in his command- ments, and not after the doings of Israel. His father's previous life was an incentive to Jehoshaphat to fellow the God who alone could redeem and bless his people ; no doubt there was a longing in this jroiing man's heart for true rightf ousness, first in his own life, tnd then in the lives of his peo- ple. On the other hand, the idola- trous practices of the Israelites to the noi-th and the constant pres- sure of multitudes of people, who found it much easier to yield to the desires of the flesh than to fol- low the Lord, to offer the shallow â- worship which was sufficient when bowing down before dead idols than to bring to an all-wise and holy God a true spirit of convic- tion and a desire to do his will, wouid tend to draw him away from his holy resolves. 5-6. Therefore Jehovah estab- lished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehosha- phat tribute: and he had riches and honor in abundance. And his heart was lifted up in the ways of Jehovah. Reliciout Revival Under Jehothaphat As Jehoshaphat proceeded to cleanse the land of Judah of its idols and groves where pagan practices wei-e carried on, he came to realize that the destruction of these iniquitous devices was not eriough. The people's hearts needed changing. Unless light came into their souls, and they saw Jehovah as the only true and living God, they would sooner or later go back to the same prac- ticis, and again make images like unto those that he had destroyed. So the king with greatest wisdom unutrtook a vast program cf re- ligious teaching throughout all the cities of his kingdom. He sent forth 14 men to teach the people. f. And they taught in Judah, having the book of the law of Je- hovah with them; and they went about thioughout all the cities of Juda'i. end ta'Jght among t*-* peo- p:«- JchoshftpV.at did not thluk It vnough to leave things to be done by existing institutions. Like • wi»e and an ewnest man. he cast abo'it for additional method.*, he looked in all directions for rompe- tent ni»n to extend his pious pur- pos». !0-!l-12. And the fear of Je- hovah fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war •(rainst Jehoshaphat. .^nd some of the Philistines brought Jehosha- phat prose:its, and silver tribute; . the .Arabians also brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven kundrcd rams, and seven thousand •nd seven hundred he-goafs. .\nd Jehishanhat waxed great exceed- ingly. And he built in Judah cas- tles and cities of store. Thus the promiM of G«i Rocie's Fourth Fit of Temper Rosie, Liad actor of the elephant troupe in the Singling Bros, circus touring eastern Canada recently, didn't like the tasks assigned to her when the big tent was being pitched in Toronto. She seized an attendant in her trunk, tossed him to the ground and injured him so badly that he was rushed to hospital for attention. This picture, taken just as the pachyderm's temper flared, shows keepers driving back Rosie while the injured man crawls to safety (arrow). According to reports this is Rosie's fourth fit of temper ending in injury to her keepers in the current season. Youth Camps Plan Rejected F«deral Minister of LjJbor Rog* ers Gives Reasons For Turn- ing Down Idea of Corps As- sociation Hon. Norman McL. Rogers, Min- ister of Labor, listed nine reasons why the Federal Government re- jected the plan of the Canadian Corps Association to place 50,000 unemployed youths in vocational training camps similar to the C.C. C. camps in the United States, for a two-year period. Mr. Rogers said that the pro- hibitive cost, estimated at ?50,- 000,000, was the primary reason for tlie rejection. In addition, the Federal Administration objected to the inference "regimentation" which might be drawn from such action, he said. The other reasons Mr. Rogers listed as: Opposition of labor and youth organizations; the detrimen- tal eflfeet of the output of the camps on private industry; attrac- tion of youths from farms; inter- ference with defence plans; dupli- cation of existing vocational fac- ilities; the undesirability of re- moving young men from normal contact for two years, and clim- atic conditions preventing econo- mic operation of the camps during winter months. Silo Is Needed For Dairy Herd Silage Supplies the Bulk Elem- ent In A Cow's Feed Silage U valuabid for the dairy hdrd because it stimulates the ap- petite and practically everything depends upon the dairy cow's ap- petite. It also furnishes the bulky element, which is necessary in ev- ery ration. A cow cannot safely eat enough feed to make her flow of mlllc unless she has a. ration that la bulky and furaishes her with material tor rumiaatioa. Silage is an all year feed. It replaces the elements oC pasture ia Winter and it supplements pasture in Summer. If the pasture dries up as is too often the case, si'age dea one over. If the cows are heavy milk- ers silage can profitably be fed with good pasturd for the variety of succulence encourages the cow to eat more. Canadian Cedar Camps England and Wales Utilixa Canadian Wood C&n'.ps built of Canadian cedar, to be used for schools in peace- time and as refugee shelters in war-time, are under construction in England and Wales. The first will be completed by the end of August. The camps are being built in standardized units. .\11 buildings are of Canadian cedar with cedar shingle roofs. Each camp will be laid out on the site by an archi- tect. Constiuction has begun on four camps. It is hoped that seven noore will be started almost imme- diately. A normal snutf-taker will use about one ounce, costing from 25c to 50c, in a week. DionneHome Plans Shelved Pending Solution of Legal Dif- ficulties â€" Would House The Quintuplets and All the Fam- ily Plans for a new home to house the Dioane quintuplets, their par- ents and their numerous brothers and sisters have been shelved, peuding solution ot the legal dif- ficulties between Oliva Diouue and Dr. Allan Roy Datoe, their physic- ian. Dionne also has pending a suit in whicli he cUims damages from Dafo* because the doctor joinod the Saiuis and Sinners Club ot New York as a "Doctor ot Litters." The quintuplets' guardians ar« refraining for the first time in months from discussing plans for tlie new home. The plans, which have been tlio main subject tor consideration at the meetiags since they were first introduced, have been plaved in the unfinished bus- iness files until the litigation ia settled. through Moses was fulfilled to them. Jehoshaphat's power and goodness were expressed in peace und public works and buildings of greatness. He saw great benefit in an alliance with Israel rather than civil war. .-Vccordingly, the old feud between the two king- donvs was dropped and Jehosha- phat made peace with Israel and cenieted the political union by marrying his son Jehorani to .\th- aliah, the daughter of Ahab. RADIO AND NOTES E W S By MADGE ARCHER Compromise Between Radio and Screen Sometime In .\piil news leaked out that great arguments were going on between the networks and the studios in Hollywood. The stu- dio.-» claimed that people stayed home to listen to their screen fav- orites for nothing, rather than pay to see and hear them at the thea- tres. The networks on the con- trary maintained that radio engage meats were valuabi* advertising tor the stars. The matter ended in a compromise. Had matters coma to a show- down, there would have been plen- ty of fireworks. Cecil B. de Mills's Radio Theatre wouM have been pulled oft the air; Likewise Good News. Programs like the Chase and Sanborn Hour and Bing Crosby's Hour would have had to fish elsewhere for th»ir guests. And Bing Crosby himself would probably have had to make the su- preme choice between being a star of the air or a star of the screen. TO BE HEARD: Farm Broad- casts. CKRB 1.1)5 p.:n.
