i reigned la judah the lord wis with him and established the kingdom in his hand all judah brought presents to jehoshaphat and he had great riches rd honors in the third year of his reign king jehoshaphat sent princes to teach in the cities of judah they went throughout all the cities of judah having the book of the law of jehovah with them and they taught among the people king ahab of israel asked jehoshaphat to join him in attacking syria the two consulted 400 prophets and all said to fight maeajah was called and he told them that disaster would follow if uiey attacked when the moabites and ammonites in vaded judafy jehoshaphat gathered hii people in jerusalem to ask gods help the lord ambushed fhe enemy and judah returned to praise the lord memory verse ii chronicles 1911 he solbtn test jehoshaphats judah righteous leadership these ho taught hii people to trust with in cod and lie true to him scripture uid the first thing he did ac cording to chronicles 11 was to strengthen judah against is rael the northern kingdom which consisted of the 10 tribes missionaries them the book ofthe saw of the lord undoubtedly the chronicles 1720 first rive books of the od test- by xcwman campbell anient which we call the pen- jehoshaphat son of asa tateuehc they taught the peo- came to the throne of judah pit so that the fear o the lord after the death of his father in fell upon a the kingdoms of s70 bc when he was 35 years the lands about judah so that they made no war against je- justified carried hovah and approved of je- david and ought not unto baalim but sought to the lord god of his father and walked in his commandments and not after the doings of israel is rael was still worshipping false gods so jehoshaphats kingdom hoshaphat jehoshaphat aio built cas tles and cities and organized a great army so large that some historians have doubted that little judah could raise so many mighty men of valor as fine a man as this king was he made one grave mis take he allowed king ahab of 1tael to persuade him to join in warring on syria ahab wanted to regain some of the lands that had been taken from him by the syrians jehosha phat had gone to visit ahab for the first time although ap- jehoshaphat reading the lau deal courageously and the lord shall b with the good fl chronicles lll people brought gifts to him and he had riches and honor he took away the high places and groves out of judah then to bring his people individually to the lord he instituted a re vival sending out princes am ong them benhail obadiah zcchariah xethanel and mich- aiah to teach in the cities of his proximately 80 years had pass ed since the division of the kingdom that the rulers had any official communication with each other jehoshaphat suggested that they consult the prophets to discover if they would have the lords approval for thus war ahab called 100 prophets and all said that the war was jehoshaphat was not satisfied and asked if thhey did not have one prophet of the lord whom they could consult ahab said there was one mi- caiah but healways foretold evil for ahab and the king hated him they sent for him however and he being warned to agree with ahab at firs- agreed with the 100 the king was not satis fied and told the prophet that he wanted him to tell the truth then micaiah told of his visions of the lord who told him that ahab should certain ly not war with syria and if he did it would be a disaster ahab was so enraged with the prophecy that he had the prophet imprisoned as he was taken away micaiah said to ahab if thou certainly return in peace then hath not the lord spoken by me ahab was evidently frighten ed by micaiahs words so much so that he did what few if any rulers would disguised himself and persuaded jehoshaphat to wear his clothing the syrian ruler commanded his soldiers to kill no one but ahab and at first they were deceived into thinking jehoshaphat was he and they pursued him find- isg fce tra the wtos teas they desisted a syrian archer however took what we might call a pot shot with his bow and the arrow pierced ahabs armor wounding him mortaly jehoshaphat returned to je rusalem in peace and was chi- ced by hanari the seer for tak ing par n this war he had offended the lord satd the seer however jehovah found good things in the king imply ing that he would overlook his transgression if the lesson were not so long we would like to com ment at length on the kings appointment of judges and his wise counsel to them this pas sage from 2 chronicles 193- 11 should be studied earnest ly by the older pupils especial ly there is much wisdom and instruction in them mow we come to the last dra matic incident in the lesson the invasion of judah by the moabites and ammonites je hoshaphat gathered his peo pe together all judah with their little ones their wives and their children at jerusa lem and prayed fervently to the lord to help them to the prophet jahazie came the spirit of the lrd sav ing that judah need not be afraid they need not fight 3 the salvation of the lord with you 0 judah the king bow ed his head to the ground and all his people did likewise and worshipped early next morn ing they went forth into the wilderness to meet the enemy jehoshaphat consulted with his people and then appointed singers who would sing of the beauty of holiness and praise the lord for his goodness the singers went out before the army and began to sing the lord caused the inhabitants of seir to ambush the moabites and ammonites and they were utterly destroyed so that from the watchtower judah could see nothing but bodies of the dead then indeed did judah praise the lord pouring into jerusa lem with psalteries and harps and trumpets to thank him for his mercies polished buggies continued from page 21 raised on the chtppawa indian reserve and was accustomed to running with other horses when driven double or rid den with other horses he led the parade but when driven or ridden single he was the la ziest critter in seven counties he could even fake lameness to gain sympathy and special consideration when in the pasture field except ivhen he had his head over the gate wanting to get out he would be at the far end tto avoid being caught and put to work one morning when father reeded him he anticipated dexters runaway trick he opened the pasture gate then went on through the woods to visit a neighbor when he returned sure en ough dexter was standing by the open gate the horse see ing father had no halter al lowed him to come up and catch him by the mane between the ears father decided to mount him for the halfmile ride to the barn expecting him to walk along lazily as usual instead with a kick and a snort ho headed for home at a speed father never dreamed possible horse paid heavily for runaway ride as dexter raced under trees around turns through the bash father had to hang on to his mane for dear life dexter never slackened his pace until he reached the stable door where father slid off rather shaken father sold dexter soon af terwards later he fell into bad hands whn we expressed sympathy for him father un bendingly replied it serves him right had he behaved himself he could still be here while there was a great deal of heavy slugging in daily work then all work and no play would never do especially in maple syrup making time a taffy pull or two in the neigh borhood provided plenty of ex citement albeit it was not the same kind as driving a spiritied horse it called for a degree of skill and was really fun pro voking and could be nearly as romantic as buggy riding the tally was made by boil ing syrup down to the proper consistency then placed in pans to cool the procedure at a pull was for the participants to pair off usually a young man and his lady friend of the evening be coming partners the young man would remove his coat roll up his sleeves and the young lady bare her arms for the fray each would be supplied with a bit of butter with which to cover their hands and wrists to keep the taffy from adhering to them a lump of tally the size of ones fist or larger of a con- 3x3 am for best results shipyour cream to stouflfvillc creamery
