WAXASSEH. the central figure |%/l of this study, was the son of I ^ the good King Elez^kiah .? , / Manasseh succeeded to the throne of Judah In his twelfth yearthe bad son of a good father. This matter of good fathers and evil sous, and evil fathers and good sous, was probably due, frequently, to the good or evil character of the mot here, as well as to the fact that the king, occupied with the affairs of state, could not give proper attention to the cultivation of his own children, although, doubtless, there are exceptions to this rule. How Fow Recognize the Sacredness of Parental Responsibilities Parentage is undoubtedly the highest and most important function of human life.

Is It any wonder that 'children are born nervous and peevish when we know that the mother in bearing them was fretted and annoyed in a thousand ways': Is it any wonder that children are born to a heritage of passion, anger and lust, when we think of the experiences of their mothers which are thus Impressed upon them?

But while this should be the endeavor of all, when could we hope ever to bring the world Into a condition to desire and strive for such re .suits'? Never! Hope.for the world would die Were it not based upon the sure Word of the Lord, which prom ises mankind help from on High in the great Kinrdom of Messiah. The Valley of Hinnom Kiog Manasseh reintroduced idolatry, built altars for the worship of Baal in the courts of the temple, used enchantments and communicated with evil spirits. The punishment for idolatry was not eternal torment, be it noted; that erroneous view came to us during the "Dark Ages." We are getting back to a better understanding of God and. His Word. In connection with the king's idola. trous delusions, it is recorded In verse ff* six that he "causJ ^ his cMMren to ' ?f^\. f?3fc Pa8S thr?U^h 1116 at)ly filIed up acd tfedfawtU Moloch-Wor- chards. Of old It thip. was a <}eep valley. It was used for religious rites at one time. A great brass image erected there, the body of which was hoi low, consruuiea a nue tur uic uics built underneath. The Image had outstretched arms, which became heated and upon these arms children were sometimes offered in sacrifice to the false deities, wholly contrary to everything authorized by the Almighty. Later on, this valley of Hinnom was polluted so that it mi?ht never again be used as a place of worship. No doubt it was used as a place for the destruction of the offul of the city of Jerusalem?dead cats and rats and dogs, etc.. were thrown there and fire and brimstone burned therein for the destruction of the foul gases. The bodies of the vilest criminals might after death also be thrown into this valley as refuse. * In the New Testament, written in ~ 1. .1-1- !1~? A^nin. IxrWKi 11113 VUllCt Ui luc buu v*. uiu nom" is styled Qe-hinnom, or, later, Gehenna. Our Lord several times used :hls valley in illustrating the Second Death?the hopelessness ot all those "who would wilfully. Intelligently and persistently refuse the grace of God. Eventually all who will come to love righteousness and hate iniquity shall be enabled to attain eternal life, and all who will love iniquity and hate righteousness shall have the punishment of the Second Death, symbolically represented in Gehenna?"ever lasting destruction from the presence of the Lord." \ * * - ^ j | Rheumatism I i i n I!
