Billy Conn, new Irish king of the light-heavyweights, is just like all other champions—always a favorite with
the kids. Scores of young admirers hike to his training camp at Lieperville, Pa., every day, hoping to get a
glimpse of the popular young fighter. Conn’s backers are looking forward to the day when he’ll put on enough
weight to meet Joe Louis for the heavyweight title.
Peace-Time Maneuvers Test Army Efficiency
When the United States army began its most extensive peace-time maneuvers at Manassas, Va., recent

their huge mechanized war steeds. Right: That mock wars have their casualty lists was proved by one pri
vate, who reported at the 104th medical regiment offices to receive first aid for an injured eye. The report did
not state just how the soldier suffered the injury.

conditions. This year’s Labor day

40 hours a week and earning an
average of 86 cents an hour. Twen-

UZZIAH:
A KING WHO FORGOT

21.
LESSON TEXT—H Chronicles 26.3-5, 16.
GOLDEN TEXT—Every one that exalteth
himself shall be abased; and he hat hum-
bleth himself shall be exalted.—Luke 18:14.
“Pride goeth before destruction
and a haughty spirit before a fall’'
(Prov. 16:18).
A man’s life may begin with
every promise of greatness and he
may prosper in everything for years
as he honors God, and then by pre
sumptuous disobedience he may
bring it all to sudden destruction,
living the closing years of his life
in disgrace and going down to his
grave in sorrow. That fact is writ
ten so large on the pages of history
that one marvels that “wayfaring
men though fools” need to “err
therein” (Isa. 35:8). Pride makes
a man blind to his own weakness
and so presumptuous that he walks
right into trouble. The story of Uz-
ziah points a moral. both obvious
and needed by all of us.
I. Prosperity (w. 3-5).
“As long as he sought the Lord,
God made him prosper” (v. 5).
With a heart right toward God,
the background of a rearing by God
fearing parents (how much that
means!) and the counsel of a man
who was an “expert” in his under
standing of the ways and the will
of God, Uzziah prospered greatly.
Chapters 25 to 27 of II Chronicles
reveal him as a man of affairs, a
successful warrior, a capable agri
culturist, an able gvernment ad
ministrator, and a king whose fame
was known far and wide. For one
who took ovei the government of a
nation at the tender age of 16, fol
lowing the tragic death of his fa
ther, Uzziah made a remarkable
and commendable record.
II. Presumption (v. 16).
“When he was strong, his heart
was lifted up to his destruction”
(v. 16). What sad words! Pros
perity ruined a man who had made
a name for himself in times of ad
versity. In presumptuous pride he
attempted to take the place of the
priest ordained of God, in effect de
claring that the State was over the
Church, as we would put it in our
day.
“There is no greater danger at
taching to the life of Christian serv
ice* than the danger of presumptu
ous pride. I mean the pride which
manifests itself in an independence
of the ordinary means of grace, of
prayer, and ff the Word of God. I
am convinced that that is the cause
of much of the failure in many lives
here. It is a pride which says: T
can dispense with the Word of God’;
which persists in living on a mini
mum of prayer and communion
with God, and in yet going about
the work of God as of old; a pride
which, like Uzziah’s, seeks carnal
prominence in spiritual things. For
that was his sin. He sought a car
nal prominence in service which
God had ordained was to be of an
entirely spiritual order” (J. Stuart
Holden).
IH. Punishment (vv. 17-21).
“The king was a leper . . . and
. . . was cut off from the house of
the Lord” (v. 21). The priests of
God had holy boldness in rebuking
the king, a quality which one could
hope would never be missing in the
testimony of God’s servants. The
king, however, resented their wise
words of counsel, and punishment
from God, both swift and terrible,
came upon him.
If the judgment upon Uzziah
seems too drastic, let us remember
that the king was presuming to set
aside an order established by God.
It was a question of whether God
was to rule or the king. We should
also bear in mind that what looks
like a single outward bit of pre
sumption was really the expression
of a heart that had long since gone
far from God. When men in high
position either in the State or in
the Church fall into sin, it is not
very often the result of a yielding
to a sudden temptation, but rather
the inevitable showing forth of what
has long been true in the inner life.
The leprosy of Uzziah’s heart now
showed forth in his face, and he had
to be shut off from his people and
from his royal position.
God Sees the Heart
Neither is there any creature that
is not manifest in his sight: but all
things are naked and opened unto
the eyes of him with whom we have
to do.—Hebrews 4:13.
Spiritual Contradictions
He that was called in the Lord
being a servant, is the Lord’s free
man: likewise he that is called,
being free, is Christ’s servant.—I
Cor. 7:22.
Patience That Endureth
It is in length of patience, en
durance and forbearance that so
much of what is good in mankind
and womankind is shown.—Arthur
Helps.
Power of God
Religion wields the greatest power
in the universe, the power of God.

Windsor Castle
Windsor Castle, one of the sev
eral royal palaces of Great Brit
ain, together with its many build
ings, parks and forests, occupies
an area of 13,000 acres and is 56
miles in circumference. Its main
tenance and ceremonies, even
when the king and his family are
not in residence, require a staff
of more than 4,000 servants.—Col
lier’s.
Have you noticed that in hot
weather your digestion and elimina
tion seem to become torpid or lazy?
Your food sours, forms gas, causes
belching, heartburn, and a feeling
of restlessness and irritability. Your
tongue may be coated, your com
plexion bilious, and your bowel
action sluggish or insufficient.
These are some of the symptoms
- ■ “Toi *
of biliousness or so-called
Liver,” so prevalent in hot climates..
They call for calomel, or better stilL
Calotabs, the nausealess calomel
compound tablets that make calo
mel-taking a pleasure.
Caiotabs give you the effects of
calomel and salts combined, helping
Nature to expel the sour, stagnant
bile and washing it out of the
system. One or two Caiotabs at bed
time with a glass of water,—that’s
all. Next morning your system feels
clean and refreshed, your head is
clear, your spirit bright, and you are
feeling fine with a hearty appetite
for breakfast. Eat what you wish
and go about your work or pleasure.
Genuine Caiotabs are sold only In
checker-board (black and white) pack
ages bearing the trade mark "Caiotabs.”
Refuse Imitations. Trial package only
ten cents; family package twenty-five
cents, at your dealer’!
Intellectual Whetstones
As diamond cuts diamond, and
one hone smooths a second, all
the parts of intellect are whet
stones to each other; and genius,
which is but the result of their
mutual sharpening, is character,
too.—Bartol.
How Women .
in Their 40’s
Can Attract Men
Here’s good advice for a woman during her
change (usually from 88 to 52), who fears
she'll lose her appeal to men, who worries
about hot flashes, loss of pep, dizzy spells*
upset nerves and moody spells.
Get more fresh air, 8 hrs. sleep and if you
need a good general system tonic take Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Comoound, made
especially for women. It helps Nature build
up physical resistance, thus helps give more
vivacity to enjoy life and assist calming
jittery nerves and disturbing symptoms that
often accompany change of life. WELL
WORTH TRYING!
