he built altars to heathen godj even in the house of the lxrd although the lord had 1u in jerusalem shall be my name forever the lord spoke to the people of jodah but they would not listen- to puniah them ke allowed the assyrian hosts to overcome them they made manasseh prisoner finding him with fetter and taking him to babylon- manasseh thea began to see how wicked- be had been he bitterly repented of his evfl deeds he sought out the lord and humbly sought forgiveness ard the lord listened and brought him bade rxr to jerusalem after the restoration of his kingdom manassch took away the idols from the t holy temple he built up the altar of jehovah and commanded his people to serve only the lord x memory verse psalm m3j0 manassehs sin and repentance humbly acknowledging his sins jehovah forgave him scripture chronicles 33 by newman campbell again we have the story of a wicked king set to rule over judah hezekiah was one of the beat kings of that coutry he was wise brave gentle and strong and he trusted in the lord and served him always how hl3 son came to be so dif ferent from him apparently de lighting in doing all the things his father would have abhorred js a- mystery it sometimes hap pens in our own time that good godfearing parents have a child who brings shame upon them we aro too much inclined to blame the parents adding to their heart break manassch was only 12 years old jwhen he began to reign and he ruled about 45 years his father ezeklah had broken down the uiltars of baalim and the groves where that false god was wor shipped l jteiekiah turned his people atfauvio lie rbrd their god who ihadlbroygbt them out of bondage fin egypt and given them the promised land manasseh rebuilt these high places and worshipped tivereaijd all his people with him he even brought the heathen idols into the holy place of the lord in jerusalem iworat of alt manasseh fol lowed the customs of heathen son of a good and mighty king being led miles through the desert sands to an enemy city what does any prisorer arrested for a crime think as he is led away to be shut up especially if he is a member of an honored and re spected family in hi3 misery manasseh began to realize his evil deeds and to re pent in his agony he appealed to his god humbly asking pardon and the merciful lord forgave him and sent him back to jerusa lem and his throne we too may be forgiven our sins if we truly and humbly re pent and ask for such forgive ness for god is love how much happier we will be if we do this even though we will always be unhappy thinking of how we have sinned to show his full repentance manasseh knew that the lord he is god and he tried to undo some of the evil he had done he took the idols out of gods temple and repaired the altar of the lord and sacrificed thereon peace- offerings and thank offerings and commanded judah to serve the lord god of israel after that the people did sacrifice still in the high plates yet unto the lord their god onlyi j manassch also strengthened the defenses of jerusalem build ing a wall without the city of cedar grove memory verse i teach me to do thy will for thou art my god thy spirit fa good lead mc into the land ofuprightness peoples even caused his chil- dreritofiss through arc sacri ficing atr least one son to- this abonibtecustom he also used efletainents and used witch craft indidealt with a familiar jpiril and with wizards ffbere were various types of flvihahon then in vogue among the primitive peoples attempts to ascertain the future by cast ing lots things that only god could reveal and he set a carved image the idol which manasseh had made in the house of god of which god hod said to david and to solomon his son in this house and in jerusalem which i have chosen before all the tribes of israel willi put my name for ever j f v so manassch made judah and the inhabitants of jerusalem to err and to do worse than the heathen- whdhv the lord had de stroyed before the children of israel tiie lord spoke to the children of judah through his prophets we suppose but they would not hearken then the lord brought the cap tains of the host of assyrians upoft them and they took manas sch prisoner bound him and took him to babylon mhatdid manasseh think this bassd on copyrighted outlines produced b the churches of chrlit plitrlbuted by klnr feture srndlc david on the west side of glbon in the valley even to the enter ing in the fishgate and com passed about ophel and raised it to a very great height and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of judah so manasseh died and was buried in his own house and amon his son reigned in his stead f the story of manasseh is a sad one hi3 influence for evil must have been great we must won der if his late repentance and at tempts to undo it were as far- reaching in their effect there must have been some of his peo ple who did- not follow his evil example and continued fn the worship that hezekiah had so zealously led them i even little children realize that bad temper disobedience to the rules of their homes selfishness etc make them unhappy and if they are wisely punished they may realize that the punishment is just and try harder not to be have so badly again sometimes a youth who has been keeping bad company of which his parents know nothing realizes after a crime has been committed by these companions what their influence upon him means and is shocked into abandoning such companionship have you noticed the boy scouts striding through the village over the last weekend r two weighted

growers in isolated areas and preferably those located in northern sections have special advantages from the standpoint x producing diseasefree high quality seed potatoes in addi tion tests have shown that nor thern grown seed and seed that is slightly immature are preferred because of their val ue in producing vigorous plants the need for superior high yielding strains of diseasefree seed potatoes is ever increas ing however growers who specialize in dependable seed potatoes must be prepared to give extra time and careful at tention to not only producing a crop of fine appearing tub ers but at the same time a product carrying inherent qua lities capable of producing max imum yields of desirable tub ers all those who plant one acre or more of foundation seed of ny licensed variety and who do not grow other uncertified potatoes on their farms are eli- ible to apply for field inspec tion there is no charge but application must be made as soon as possible and definitely secured from
