He did not wait until he bad tested the allegiance of his subjects or debated the matter with his counsel ef princes. He immediately addressed himself to the task of cestoring religion and strenueusly | squared himself te the difiewlties invelv- ed. The account of this house-cleaning ex- traordinary is given with interesting detail. The immense debris which &lled the eeurts may be judged from the fact that it was neccessary to clear it away first be- fore access to the interior could be bad, and that it required eight days ef in- ceseant toil to achieve it. Eight days fore the last load of filth was dumped into the Kidron. The restoration of the farni- ture followed—the brazen altar, the brazen sea, the lavers, and the golden shewbread table and the vessels of various kinds. Some of these Ahaz had sacrileg- using them atidol altars. This great and beautiful temple, itself a sermon in stone, each area of which, with its accompanying was now ready for solemn reopening. With irrepressible solicitude the king hastened the service. The ritual of Moses and the orchestra and chorus of David were revived. There was first the expia- tory service for the kingdom; i. e., royal which had been polluted; for the priests who had been negligent and unholy, and for §adah, the whole mass of the people. Then the people praised with gladness and worshiped. Hezekiah natmially wished ¢o crown this revival by observing the long-omitted festival of the Passover, and to make it the occasion of a national reunion of the long-déismembered empire. ed to him, for the northern kingdom was already extinct. men from Dan to Beersheba. It was treated just as the urgent gospel message of to-day is. Some mocked; some hum- bled themselves. The latter were na- merous enough to make a great assembly. ‘The simple, beautiful, significant rite of Passover was observed again under happy auspices. A crusade against the false rites naturally followed the revival of the true. Alsars and idols went down into that chasm of Kidron. MOSAIC FROM COMMENTARIES.
