This was the great feast of the

days people are looking to Christian
leaders to prepare a feast of re-
membrance of the death of Christ
and of his glorious redemption. Let
the people gather round him and,
cleansed by his precious blood, keep
the feast with joy and purity of
heart (1 Cor. 5:8).

were now brought face to face with
God’s revelation.
Who will say that the great need
in America is not just this, that its
preachers and denominational lead-
ers get back to the reading and
teaching of God’s Word. Book re-
views, lectures in economics and
politics, discussions of one world—
almost anything but the Bible. Such
is the fare of many of our preach-
ers. No wonder that they and their
people are spiritually starved.
Josiah knew what was needed
and the Word was now read
3. By the people.
Applying that to our day, it is
true that the Bible is our best seller,
that it is available to every home,
and that most decent households
have not one but many Bibles. But
are they being read? The answer is
obviously no. Let’s correct that
dreadful situation. Read your Bible!
II. A Book Believed and Prac-
ticed (23:3-5, 21).
Josiah saw that it was not enough
to read and rejoice over the Word
of God. Something must be done
about it, and he did it.
1. The king made a covenant with
God.
Standing in a prominent place be-
fore his people, he humbly and
solemnly renewed his consecration
to the Lord, and promised to
abide by his Word with all his heart
and soul (v. 3). Such a leader could
not but inspire his people to do the
same.

the price was three

There was only one
whom Grace Leland could go for
three thousand dollars. Thomas
Slater had been her friend since the
days when no massage was re-
quired to smooth out the puffy little
' bags -under her eyes. She called up
Thomas Slater’s office and was told
he had gone to Europe.
Grace looked at her thin wrist
where once dangled a wide diamond
bracelet. If only she had that brace-
let now. She went around to the
display window on Broadway and
again looked at the long, sleek,
light-blue sedan with the collapsible
tan top. She saw David at the
wheel. She saw him driving places
where he could meet the fathers of
his friends and feel the bracing con-
tact of a masculine arm around his
shoulder. Each time she went back
to look at that car she was fearful
it might have been bought by an-
other mother for another David. A
rash resolve was born of her des-
peration. She knew what she would
do.
She studied the signatures op the

Grace had come back to Milldale
after an absence of eighteen years
and had rented a room in a small
white house next to the drug store.
Her friend', Thomas Slater, would
soon return from Europe and then
she would not have to hide any
more. Meanwhile, it was very quiet
in Milldale.
As she sat at the window she
thought of her son’s brown wavy
hair, the slight tilt of his nose and
his six feet of muscle and sinew.
She was desperately anxious to
make up for the fact that a head-
line - making divorce case had
smashed the Leland home and left
sensitive young David deeply hurt
and fatherless. Her love for him
was not a sufficient answer to the
questions of his classmates who
wanted to know about the big, black
headlines and his folks. She must
give him all the wordly things the
other boys had—and more, too.
Sweaters, pictures for his room, an
electric phonograph and tails. She
sent him an overstuffed chair. And
cakes and a set of evening studs. It
was all simple and exciting until
David said he wanted a car.

Why Not Have More Things
Three persons called on me last
week, all with the same problem.
Two were women, the third a man.
What all wanted to know is how
they could get more out of life.
Neither of the women could play
or sing. Neither could swim., The
older woman couldn’t dance. " The
man confessed he was a human
“dud”—as he put it.
To each I told the same story—
the story of Alexander Graham Bell,
the man who developed the tele-
phone. Mr. Bell called one day on
his friend Joseph Henry, secretary
of the Smithsonian Institution in
Washington. His purpose was to
lament the fact that he was being
held back in his work by a lack of
knowledge of electricity.
With two words Mr. Henry dis-
posed of that lament and put Alex-
ander Graham Bell on the road to
his great renown and riches, for he
said, “Get it.”
There’s no such thing as an ideal
personality or a successful person
unless that personality or person is
accomplished.
If you want to improve yourself
you have to become more accom-
plished. Learn how to do every-
thing; dance, swim, fish, ride, row,
talk about stamps and flowers and
books and music and art. Let no
subject be entirely foreign to your
life and knowledge.
You don’t have to be a champion
or an expert at any one thing. You
don’t want to be a champion.' It’s
far better to be a third-rater in half
a dozen fields than an expert in only
one.

God can bring blessing out of the
most unpromising of circumstances.
Yes, and men can make chaos out
of God’s greatest gifts.
The good Josiah became king at
eight years of age, and was sur-
rounded by godly counselors who
helped him become an outstanding
ruler for God. When he was sixteen
he had a real religious experience
(Il Chron. 34:3), and at twenty he
began to purge Judah and Jerusa-
lem of idols and wickedness.
1. A Book Found and Read (22:10,
11; 23:1, 2).
The Word of God had been neg-
lected for about sixty years. How
sad! Yes and how sad that in our
homes the Bible is so often neg-
lected—on a book shelf, or in a
trunk, or gathering dust on a living •
room table. A lost Bible, and a
people living in sin! How much we
need to push aside the rubbish in
our lives and bring out our “lost”
Bibles.
Observe that they not only found
the book, but they read it. That was
true of the ones who found it as
well as of those to whom they
passed it on. What a good thought
we have there: read the Bible, yes,
but be sure to get someone else
reading it too.
In Josiah’s day it was thus first
received
1. By the King.
The ruler or rulers of the people
need to return to God’s Word in our
day. It is all too often neglected in
the council chambers of the nations.
Josiah was moved by what he
read to real repentance. He realized
that the judgment of God must
come. Inquiry at Jerusalem brought
word from Huldah the prophetess
that it would come, but not' in
Josiah’s day.

Trust Company. I’m afraid you’ll

Grace’s face went white. It could
not possibly be as serious as all
that. The man just didn’t know what
he was talking about. “This is a
terrible mistake,” she almost
screamed. “I had to sign Mister
Slater’s name to the check. There
was nothing else to do. He will
straighten it all out when he re-
turns from Europe. He has often
loaned me money. He’s a fine, sweet
gentleman. Why, why, Mister Slater

“Madam, save your breath. Mis-
ter Slater died in London last week
and the bank has taken charge of
his affairs.” The man put his hand
in his coat pocket and Grace heard
a metallic rattle.
“Look,” said Ace Hawkins. “Here
they come out together.”

led Sam McQuade. “Same old

A punch never used before nor
since by a professional pugilist
was employed by George Le
Blanche in a bout with the first
Jack Dempsey in San Francisco
in 1889, says Collier’s.
With his right arm held out
rigidly from the shoulder, Le
Blanche whirled completely
around and knocked out Dempsey
with such force that the brutal
punch was thereafter barred for
all time.
