Dean Moody Bible Inatltutaof Chicago.) Gains and Losses in Language About Equal In tbe past the English language has gained two or three words and lost one or two every year. The rate of gain and loss is now much higher. Since the world has grow** smaller, we have gained many scientific and foreign words, but because time, also has dwindled, we have lost many that were worth a thought. While the spread of a literary sense of humor Is forcing some good Anglo-Saxon words out of use, the mechanical and scien tific apparatus which now form a great part of our outer life are bring ing in an era of modified, democratic Latlnlty. The old speech, though It served George ETiot well, will hardly serve us. The scientific and analytic spirit of the day, which takes too lit tle for granted, has made words de rived from Greek and Latin fashion able with Erfgllsh writers, while the Imposing language used In commercial advertising must eventually affect the vocabulary of the general public.— 1 Observer, London. Lesson for May 5 WHAT HILKIAH FOUND IN THE TEMPLE LESSON TEXT—II Chron 14:14-33. GOLDEN TEXT—Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path PRIM All Y TOPIC—Finding a Lost Rook. JUNIOR TOPIC—Finding a Lost B^ok. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—Discovering a Guidebook. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—The Bible Id National Life. 1. Tht Book of tha Law Found (vv. 14-17). L Tho occasion (f. 14). It was while restoring the temple during Joslah’s reformation that the Book of tbe 1-aw was discovered. No doubt, In clearing out tbe dark corners to make repairs and to find a place to store tbe sulwcrtptlons made by the people, many things which bad been lost were found, among which was the law. This was **tbe law of the Lord given by Hoggs.** 2. The book delivered to the king (TV. 1.V17). In a report of the work, the king was Informed of tbe finding of the Book of the l-aw by lillklah. and »he book was delivered to him. II. The Effect of the Reading of the Law (vv. 18-28). Shaphan. the scribe, read the law before the king. 1. The king rent Ids clothes (v. 19). As the law was read before him. the king was led to realize the awful extent of the nation’s departure from God. He knew that sin merited pun ishment. The function of the law Is to reveal sin. The rending of the royal robes Indicated that the king was penitent and sorrowful. 2. The king sent a deputation to make Inquiry of the Lord (vr. 20, 21). The king Included himself In guilt before God. “Go Inquire for me and for them that are left—for great Is the wrath of the Lord that Is pouted out upon us," His sense of sin was so keen that he sent to Inquire of the Lord as to whether there was any means of diverting the divine Judg ments. Instinctively, the human heart turns from God’s threatening judg ments to a means of\Cfrcnpe. The soul that sorrows for sin Inquires for a way. of escape. The law prepared for the gospel. The law Is our school master to bring us to Christ (Gal. 3:24). . . 3. The message of Huldah, the prophetess (vv. 22-28). B«DUtiD« of Gibraltar Gibraltar Is considered by a travel ing correspondent to be one of the most beautiful and picturesque landing ports In the world. Rio, New York, and Sydney, he wTltes, are all fair and lovely places, but they are all out shone by Gibraltar. As one steams up the straits the scene Is one of sur passing beauty, with the rugged and weird North African const on the right hand and tbe atately beauty of the Spanish coalt on the left, with the fairylike Tarifa lighthouse Jutting out Into the water from tbe Spanish shore. Above alL tbe rock of Gibraltar Itself looming la front, with Its green short and massive height rising la majestic grandeur above the town at Its foot presents nr* of tht grandest sights Is the world. V tuts of Jerusalem,' Including the priests, Levltes and elders, and read unto them tha law. 2. The king made a covenant before the Lord to keep His commandments and testimonies (vv. 31, 32). In this covenant he pledged himself to do three things: (1) To walk before the Lord tv. 31). This meant that he would get person ally right with God. (2) To keep God s commandments, testimonies and statutes with nil his heart and soul (v. 31). To read the law Is not enough. Its holy require ments must he obeyed. (3) To perform the words of the covenant, which were written In the book (v. 31). Tills was done sincere ly and he caused all that were pres ent “to stand to It.” 3. The king took away the abomina tions out of all the countries which pertained to Israel (v. 33). All the days of the king they departed not from following after the Lord, the God of their fathers. The Camel and the Rich Man And Jesus looked round about, and said unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter Into the kingdom of God I It Is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to entei Into the kingdom of God.—Murk 10: 23-25. Our Deeds v Our deeds determine os us .ranch as we determine our deeds.—George Eliot Cromwell’s Music Before Oliver Cromwell became Pro tector. music was proscribed In Eng land. And as Cromwell was musically inclined, lie had a professional musi cian among the members of his house hold. When, by the authority of par liament, the organ was removed from the chapel of Magdalen college, Crom well had It erected at Hampton court, where he resided, and frequently had Milton to play It At the Restoration the organ was returned to Magdalen college, but after some yeans it was disposed of and re-erected In Tewkes bury abbey, where part of It remained In use until a few years ago. Currents of Grsat Rivers There Is no stream which 1ms • regular current of tiO miles an hour, or even half that The low*er Amazon flows at a rate of three miles an hour. The Missl&ippl, In Its lower course, has a velocity of about three and a half miles an hour. The Congo has for many miles above Its mouth a cur rent of about seven miles an hour, the Impetus of Its great fulls extending for • great distance belowtbem. The Nile, similarly Influenced, moves for a long distance at nine miles an hour. Your i MODEL T FORD is still a good car THE Model T Ford led the motor industry for twenty years because of its sturdy worth, reliability and econ omy. Those same reasons continue to i*.ake it a good ear. As a mutter of fact, nearly one-fourth of all the auto mobiles in use today are Model T Fords. Millions of them can be driven two, three and even five more years with reasonable care and proi>er replocements. Figures show that the average li f e is seven years. Don’t sacrifice your Model T, therefore, but take it to the Fort! dealer and have him estimate on the cost of putting it in A1 shape. A very small expenditure may be the means of giving you thousands of miles of additional service. «*• For a labor charge of $20 to $25 you can have your motor and transmission completely overhauled. This price includes new bearings, reboring cylinders and any other work necessary. Parts are extra. V alves can be ground and carbon removed for $3 to $4. The cost of tightening all main bearings is only $6. The labor charge for overhauling the front axle is $4.50 to $3—-rear axle assembly, $5.75 to $7. New universal joint w ill be installed for a labor charge of $3. Brake shoes relincd for $1.50. Rear spring and perches rebushed for $1.75. The cost of overhauling the starting motor is $3. A labor charge of approxi mately $2.50 covers the overhauling of the generator. It w'ill pay you, therefore, to see your Ford dealer and have him put your Model T in good running order. By doing so you will protect and maintain the invest ment you have *n your ear and get months and years of reliable tran»i>ortation at a very low cost per mile. Ford Motor Company ny^Confirma11 on of what the law said (vv. 22-25). She said that all the curses written In the law must fall, for the sins had been so 'flagrant that God’s wrath could not be restrained. Destruction was hanging over Jerusalem and It was too late to avert It It was not too late, however, to repent and to ob tain mercy from God, hot the outward consequences of sin must be realized. Fulfillment of this Is found on every hand today. The murderer must hang. (2) Acceptance of Joslah’s repent ance (vv. 20-28). Because of tils tenderness of heart and deep penitence, the Lord said he should be gathered to his grave In pe*ce and should not see all tbe evil to be brought on Jerusalem and Its people. What Huldah said was true, even though Joslab died In battfe (35:23-25). When God accepts s man snd forgives blm, his death Is a peaceful one, even though It may be on tbe battlefield. God’s pretence Is wftb him, therefore he wilt go straight from tbe battlefield to the heavenly Lifts yon over the hills with never an engine knock If your motor pounds and pings as you slowly creep the grades, use ESSO.
