I. The Book of the-Law Fou/id (vv.
14-T7), 1. The occasion (v. 14). It was
found while the work of repairing the
temple was going on. At what part in
the~tefnple we do not kn’ow; perhaps
In the treasure house, for it was found
while .bringing out the money 'totpay
fur the repairs. Iiorhaps this was in
<>r near the'ark,’ for the law was usual-
mother's iy kept in or by the fiTTc.
â–  2. By whom (v. 14). Ililkiah, the
high priest, was the* finder. It is
strunge that the high priest was-igno
rant, of the place where the law was
'found. It is a sad commeut upon the
moral and spiritual condition of priests
and kings, since they were appointed
guardians of God’s law. It Is, however,
always true that when one does not
want to have his. life ordered by tile
Bible. lie will put it out of his sight.
The disappearance of the Bible.'from
our homes, ami the neglect of it in our
study
lives.. Be assured, however; that"
though tile lawof the Lord In 1 removed
from our sight "it Shall sooner or later
come before us to. judge us, God Fins
declared that his Word shall not return
.into him void, lull shall accomplish-that
wherounto it hath h» «>a sent.
,•‘5. Its disposition (v.'lO).- Ililkiah
gave the law to Shaphan the scribe,
who delivered it to-the- king .along with
his reporr ns to the disposition of tin'
money which lmd been collected.
II. The Book of the Law Read (vv.
IS. 20, 30). . 1. TT the.king. (v. lb}.
Tills was a most impressive scene, tlie
king listenihg T(T"""m^"TT^dtTrg" of the;'

to do, forAhose appointed by God .to
rule over thKpeople should be anxious
to know th^ wijl of God concerning
them. The pious N king, believing In it
as God's Word, wasanxious to know
God s thought concerning the nation,

made conscious of the apostasy of his,
