"Be did that which was right in the
sight of the Lord, and turned not aside

of Josiah. Sometime during this pe-

formed him of the finding of the Book

III. The Effect of the Reading of the
Laws Upon the King (II Kings 22:11-
20).
1. He rent his clothes (v. 11). As
the Law was read before him he was
led to reaiize the awful extent of the !
nation’s departure from God. The
rending of the royal robes indicated
the king’s penitence and sorrow.
2. The king sent a deputation to
make inquiry of the Lord (w. 12-20).
He included himself in the guilt before
God (▼. 13). His sense of sin wap so
kfeen that he sent to inquire of the Lord
as to whether there was any means of
diverting the divine judgments.
3. The message of Huldah the
prophetess (tv, 15-20).
a. Confirmation of what the Law
■aid (vv. 13-17). 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.
It was not too late, upon repenting, to
obtain mercy from God, but outward
consequences of sin must be realized.
b. Acceptance of Josiah’* repent-
ance (vv. 18-20). Because of his ten-
derness of heart and deep penitence,
the Lord said be was to be gathered to
his grave in peace and should thus es-
cape all the evil brought on Jerusalem
and Its people. What Httldnb said was
true, even though Josiah died in battle
<U Chron. 35:22-25).
IV. The Reformation Instituted by
Josiah (H Kings 23:1-25).
L The king1»fld the Law (vv. 1, 2).
He gathered together the inhabitants
of Jerusalem, including the priests.
Lev I fee. and elders and rend unto them
the Law. What a happy scene it would
be If the President of the United
State* would call the representatives
of tiie people together to hear God’s
law read.
2. The king made a covenant before
the Lord (v. 3). In this covenant he
pledged himself:
a To walk before the Lord. This
meant that he would get personally
right with God.
b. To keep God’s commandments,
bla testimonies and his statutes. This
obedience was to be a heart obedience.
e To perforni the words of covenant
wMch were written in this Book. The
king not only entered into this sincere-
ly hot caused ail who were present to
"stud to* It.
S. The king took away the abomina-
pw» (TV. *-28). He not only broke
down the place* of idolatrous worship,
but slew the priests who officiated at
•he attar.

TIMES HAVE CHANGED
In many respects, but it is still necessary tor a town or community to work
hand in hand if it expects to accompilsh anything.
Detroit citizens are the greatest people anywhere, yet if we make it known
to other folks, we must do something besides talk — we must work with one
o
purpose in view and that is a bigger and better place in which to live.
Detroit has as good a High School as there is in this section and the way
her pupils have made good at college proves this. That is not enough -- Let’s
work for it’s further improvement.
Our homes are well kept and our churches are active, yet there is much to
do for the progress of our town. Our school and churches need your support;
our homes can be made more sanitary and our streets beautified.
Give the home town merchant the first chance at your business----he
assists in the upbuilding of the community and we need him in the hour of trouble.
