(Copyright. 1917, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR AUGUST 5. MANA88EH'S SIN AND REPENT. ANCE. LESSON TEXT-IT Chronicles 33:1-20. GOLDEN TEXT-TA.t the wicked for sake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.-Isaiah 65:7. The reign of Manasseh was the long est of any of the kings of Judah. It is strange that a wicked king should have the distinction of the longest reign. Thin can be accounted for, per haps, by tl.e fact that the nation was in such a state that their idolatrous corruption neoded to go to its fullest development. It seems to be neces sary in a world of free beiizs, that their actions nust go to a certain stage of development. It was so with the inhabitants of Canaan before that land was possessed by Israel. Israel was kept in Egypt until the iniquity of that nation was full. In this case doubtless the Lord permitted this to go on until the idolatrous practices would become extremely obnoxious. I. Manasseh's Sin (vv. 1-9). Though he had the example of a good father, he with passionate endeavor gave him self up to the imitation of the heathen about him. This shows that grace is not inherited; a good father may have a bad son. It also teaches us that it is absolutely necessary to bring the grace of God into vital touch with our children, for that grace is absolutely essential to their salvation. Only his grace can counteract the downward pull of sin. 1. He restored the high places which had been destroyed by his father (v. 3). It is thus seen that he sought to undo the good work done by his father. 2. le erected altars to Banl (v. 3). The idols worshiped on these altars seem to have been images of licen tious appearance, provoking the indul gence of the human passion. There fore, with this worship was coupled the grossest licentiousness. 3. He introduced the star worship of the Chaldeans and Assyrians (v. 3). He even erected these altars in the house of the Lord, placing them on a level with God himself. 4. He set up Moloch in the Vale of Hinnon (v. 6). He not only encour aged this worship on the part of oth ers, but he even caused his own chil dren to pass through the fire. 5. He practiced magic, witchcraft, and dealt with'a familiar spirit (v. 6). So gross were these practices that they did even worse than the heathen whom God had destroyed before the Children of Israel came into the land. 6. He rejected the Lord's testimony (v. 10). Doubtless the prophets had again and again admonished himw, but he seems to have turned entirely aside fronm such remonstrances. i i. Manasseh's Chastisement (vv. 11 18). The Lord in grace used the As syrians to chastise Manasseh, so as to bring him to see his evil ways. He was captured, perhaps whlile hiding among the thicket of thorns (v. 11), bound in chains and carried to Baby lon. This was most humiliating. His hands were manacled, his ankles fas tened together wvith rings and a bar. Ill. Manasseh's Repentance. (vv. 12. 18). Fortunately, the chastisement had its dlesired effect. Manasseh was brought to his senses and turned from his evil ways. The steps in his re pentance are as follows: 1. Afmiction (v. 12). This was most severe. Bound with chains and dragged to Babylon. While this was severe, it was light in comparison with the sins which provoked It. 2. Supplication (v. 12). Manasseh had the good sense to cry out to God in tis condition. It is the unmistak able evidence that God's chastisement is accomplishing Its purpose. We are instructed in James 5 :18 in time of af filection to pray. 8. Humility (v. 12). This is a com mon chlaracteristic of penitent souls. Those whoe come under the hand of God always recognize it in their hum ble walk. 4. Forgiveness (v. 13). As soon as God sees the signs of penitence, he turns in mercy to the penitent and grants absolution for sin. No one nmeeds to wait long to receive his for. giveness. 5. ils kingdom restored (v. 18). Manassehl not only was forgiven, but he was actually restored to his king d1om. Thlose who truly repent, God will not only forgive, but he will re store (Psa:. 32:3-5). 6. Apprehension of God (y, 18). Through this experience Manasseh camne to know God. IV. Manaseh's Reformation (vv. 14-20). Manasseh was not content with merely receiving God's forgive ness and restoration to his kingdom, but he sought so far as possible to undo the mischief which he had done. 1. He strengthened the fortifications of Jerusaleni, so as to make his peo ple safe from the attack of a foreign foe (v. 14). 2. He removed the idols from the House of the Lord (v. 15). Through bitter experience he had come to know that an idol is nothing, that it could avail him nothing in time of deepest need. STOP Ci DODDS" New Discovery!

One officer of my acquaint ance told me, after some months of var, that his umost curious experience was when once, and once only, lie dis covered the exact extreme range point. lie was flying along quite peacefully on a bright sunny morning at an alti tule of a little over 8,0() feet, without worrying about anything, when sudden ly he saw something bright dart past the side of the machine, lie began to look about him and saw, a shade be. low him aind a trifle to one slide, a whole stream of little bright things git tering in the sun. Then lie realized that he had1( just rtruck a level that happened to be the extreme vertical range of a machine gun that was making uncommonly good shooting. Other bullets from rifles and other maclilae guns also flashed into view as he flew along, and when his eyes caught the right focus he could follow the slow, topmost part of their movement for n considerable distance.
