young king josiah illustrath sunday school lesson scrfptbre a ckranma s4 trilict by alfred j btxscrrsr josih was eight years old when be began to reign while he was still young he turned to god under his direction the altars of baalim and the other heathen images were broken down uxd utterly destroyed kext josiah ordered the temple restore he sent three men to the high priest hilkiah with money to get workmen and building materials the carpenters and builders took the money bought materials and did the work tail h fully while the temple was being restored a priest probably hilkiah found an old book of the law hilkiah gave it to shaphan who had brought the money for the work and he took it to the king and read it to him when josiah heard the book read he rent his clothes he then called his peo ple together read the book to them and commanded them to keep gods statutes with all their hearts memory verse isaiah 116 17 che solm txl unionville news the imonviue horticultural t vener for the

sptrttuaj and moral disintegration t8t lodah had ever known i anons son josiah a boy of fltgw oceeeded htm and strange t mte his thoughts turned to oaf while he was still a child fwfcitiwr h had a good god-fear- tfg mother who had brought him s v revere jehovah we do not fevow certain it is that he walk- i rfo the- way of the lord as bad his ancestor david tul flrst thing he did was to bta au the heathen idols and itkjbr high places torn down and toty destroyed h even burned tl ftoriea of the heathen priests upon their altars thus cleansing judahi and jerusalem he then dw the same in the cities of eph- rahn manassch and simeon vn unto naphtall and when he had broken dolrn the altars and the groves and had beaten the graven im- ages into powder and cut down all the idols throughout all the land of israel he returned to jerusalem faithfut these ancient workmen were in their task now comes the most dramatic moment in all judah history in overhauling the building going through rooms that probably had not been looked into for years a priest it may have been hil kiah found an ancient book of the law of the lord given by moses hilkiah the priest told shap han the scribe and gave the book to him and he carried it to the king when josiah heard it read he rent his clothes what was in the bock of the law to make the king so desperate there are indica tions writes a biblical authority that- tho book contained dire threats against judah which made josiah tremble even in spite of his own readiness to walk in the way of the lord it is called the book of the covenant josiah was overcome by his sense of the holiness of god and his own sinfulness he had con sulted huldah a prophetess who had foreseen the evil which eventually overcame judah after josiahs righteous reign but she had also prophesied that since jo siahs heart was tender and he had humbled himself before the if memory verse cease to do evil learn to do well seek judgment isaiah we can imagine that many of the younger sunday school pupils and also older ones would have been happy to help king josiah in this work if they had lived in those old days and been inspired by his righteous indignation in the isth year of his reign josiah had purged the land and the house so he sent for shaphan maaseiah tho governor of the city and joah the son of joahaz the recorder to repair the house of the lord the three went to hilkiah the high priest and gave him the money that was brought into the house of god which the lc- vites that kept the doors had gathered of the hand of manas- sch and ephraim and all the rem nant of israel and of all judah and benjamin they put the money into the bands of the workmen that had oversight of the repairs the over seers or superintendents we may suppose to buy the necessary materia and the men did work faith fully we arc told today when we find some of the work done by modern workers is not done as faithfully as one could wish it is good to know how loyal and lord these things would not hap pen during his lifetime then the king sont and gath ered all the elders of judah and jerusalem and the king went up into the house of the lord and all the men of judah and the in habitants of jerusalem and the priests and the levites and all the people great and small and he read tn their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the lord and the king stood tn his place and made a covenant be fore the lord to walk after the lord and to keep his testimonies and his statutes with all his heart and with all his soul to perform the words of the cove nant which arc written in this book and nil his days josiah and his people departed not from fol lowing the lord the god of their fathers the prophesies of sahum wliich arc also included in our lesson are terrible indeed the theme is the punishment of the enemies of judah especially the city of nineveh we have no space here to include more of tt in this lesson i i gardens mr
