The history of Israel was twico written by Inspired men, first by tho prophets In tho two books of Kings, and afterwards by priests In the two books of Chronicles, Ezra, Nchemlnh nnd Esther. Both re cords mnko David the central ilgure. Tho prophets wrote to show the con sequences of Sln, while the pilests sought to maintain the Institutions of religion of which the were the special guardians. Last quarter our lessons pertnlned to the northern half of the kingdom, created by the rebellion un der Jeroboam, and carried Into per petual captivity In Assyria, a dreary sketch of Iniquity and disaster made by the prophets. This quarter we shall be occupied with selected passag es "pertaining to tho southern half of the empire, called the kingdom of Judnh which, like Its sister monarch-, was destined to bo overthrown. The difference between the southern and the northern kingdom was that the for mer had more frequent seasons of re form during which the people attain ed to manj' virtues and much of th? consequent peace enjoined and prom ised under the Mosaic cconomj'. One of these reforms will be considered to day. RECTITUDE. The kingdom of Ju dah was cursed b two wicked kings, Hehoboam and Abljuh, the first and the second nfter the division of tho empire. Nevertheless, for David's sake, God boro with their offenses, (1 Kings, xv, 3-5) and granted many favors. Dur ing the twenty-one yeans of their reign there was perpetual war with Israel, In nn attempt to legaln the re volting tribes, resulting In n measure of success, so that tho sovereignty of Judah was acknowledged over mnny cities. A new day dawned upon the land nt the death of Abljah, who was succeeded by his son Asa, (verso 1), a man of rectitude, who, abandoning the ways of father and grandfather, did that what was right In the sight of the Loid. (Verse 2.)It was not easy to account for the character of this man. If the laws of heredity were to bo considered little ought to have been expected. On tho paternal side theie were three generations of sin. On tha maternal side we know little, save that his mother was a patron of Ashtaroth, and therefore a heathen. He Is a rare man who breaks away from all early influences, resists the tendency of blood and education, and becomes a God-fearing and valiant de fender and promoter of righteousness. ICONOCLAST. Fortunately the hls torj does not pause w 1th a mere reference to the c hurac ter of King Asa. He was a man of deeds, nnd he employed his high olllce In advancing the cause of religion. He began with the destiuc tlon of the altars and of the strange gods that had been set up (verse 3) during the thiee preceding reigns, un doing what Solomon in his inter vears began, what Hehoboam nnd Abljah continued what. In fact, bad received the rojal nppioval for an entile gen et atton. He even deposed his mother from the innk of jueen-iiiothet a position of gieat dignity in the east (I Kings li. 19), because- she had set up an Idol for Impute oigles (I Kings xv. 13), nnd he cut down nnd binned her Asherah, and stiewed Its ashes on the brook Kedion, Just ns Mnes had treated the golden cnlf (E xxxll: 20). He cut down the gioves in whhh worship had been offered to heathen divinities, tendering the places unfit longer for the devotions that had been offeied He broke down the Images, or, what Is a better tendering, the statutes, the public regulations for the conduct of heathen religion. nEFOHMEH. Having thus over thrown all forms and appliances for the worship of falsa gods King Asa set himself to the reformation or re const Miction of the religious system in troduced by Moses. He Issued a proc lamation (verse 4) calling upon all the inhabitants of Judah to seek the Lord. He desired a spiritual return, a turn ing away from the abominations, a yielding of the heart In an earnest In quiry nfter the God of their fathers. He re-Instated the law, both the moral nnd ceremonial law, together with all the commandments, thus touching ev ery side of the life of the people, civil, domestic, religious, commercial. By so doing he restored the ancient order of things and mnde his kingdom, so far as It was possible at that time, the kingdom of heaven, in many ways like the kingdom of David, his illus trious ancestor. It Is no wonder that ns a result the text declares that "the kingdom was quiet" (verse 5). How could it be otherwise? The people must have recognized the wisdom and the goodness of their sovereign, and under the wholesome lnws, delivered from heaven (Ex. xt: 1), Justice was se cured, and plenty once more gladdened all hearts. PROSPERITY. With the overthrow of Idolatry and the re-establishment of the religion of the fathers came, as might have been expected, a desire and nn opportunity for internal Im piovements. A righteous king always seeks the welfaio of his people, and righteous people nlvvaj's prosper (Matt, vl, 33). Without difficulty Asa secured the co-operation of his subjects, who had learned to trust him and had come to recognize tho beneficent character of his ndmlnlstratlon (verses C-7). In all parts of the dominion men were set to work building fenced cities. Walls, towers, gates and bais ap peared with astonishing rapidity. In our time attention would be given to railways, steamships, libraries, hospit als, schools and churches. But In that da when war was waged for aggran disement, the first concern of a right eous people was security against en emies. The times of prosperity weie therefore employed In strengthening defences. This was tho order In Asa's thought righteousness, unity, pros perity, protection. There was states manship of the highest order. MILITARY While serving God nnd trusting In Him King Asa did not de pond wholly upon Divine power for the nation's protection. Thnt fact was appaient In the building of fenced cities. He bad not learned the new fangled Ideas of certain modern peace societies. He knew that as long ns men were under the contiol of evil pnlons thev would fight. Hence he had an armv. and an Immense one It was, of which any sovereign In Europe would be pi oud (verse S) TIuop hun dred thousand out of the Lib" of Ju dah nnd nearly ns mnnv more from the tilbt of Bnjamln which bad become absoibed In the kingdom of Judah. Mighty men they were, men of valor. Thev were aimed iait with spenis mid part with bows, the Implements of waifaie rant used In those dnvs. This mll'taiv Hunpuit was In full haimonv with all Old Testament repierentu tlons of nations. Israel went out of Egjpt a well-otganized armv (Ex. xill 18 ) Joshua entered Canaan and conquered It (Josh., x 39 David, tho poet, the man aftei God's own henrt, wis the wan lor who slew Golinto and gulnt d victories over all national foes (P.salm, xv III 34.) ENEMIES--Asa's piopaiatlons for war weie timely. He oon had use for his arm In another place. (I Kings, xv IS), wp learn that he had perpetual war with Baasha, king of Israel, dur ing tho entire reign of the latter, a period of twenty-four years, in which ho was successful. Besides, ho had foreign enemies (verses 9 and 10.) Zo rali, the Ethiopian, with a million men came t'p to Lattle. The precise loca tion of that country ennnot be deter mined, but ihe general opinion Is that it lay south and west of Egypt. It this be so then It was probably a vast marauding expedition which had been Incited to mnke this Inclusion on ac count of the wealth and good fortune of Judnh. The Ethiopians are men tioned In Scripture ns of warlike char acter (Jer., :lvi:9.) They formed pait of Shlshik's army (2 Chron., xll;3),and represented ull thnt was known of In ner Africa, a land of mysteiy and terror In the cailier uges. This vast, horde of warrlois fiom a distant land, marching on without restraint, pene trated Into the borders of Judnh and came as far north as Mareshah. Their approach must hn''e caused consterna tion among the people who knew that plunder and muidcr would result. VICTORY. Asa went forth to meet the enemy and set the battle In an ay In the valley of Znphathah (verse 10.) Then appeared the noblei side of the king's chnraeter. Backed by his vast nrmy of mighty men he did not depend upon them alcne. Like Washington at Valley Forge, like Havelock In India lie prnj'ed for Divine help (verse 11.) That prajer was a model of simplicity, directness, humility and faith. In It he acknowledged the might of the Lord, confessing that He was nble to give the victcrj' even without the help 1 of man, thercbj' casting himself upon tho almighty arm. "It is nothing with thee to help," he cried there was no difficulty In such help, It might easily be rendered. "Help us," he cried. Im plying that the army proposed to fight, but only with Divine blessing. We rest on Thee," In Tbj name we go against this multitude! These were the pious utterances of tho good king. He proposed to act for God, and added, "Let no man prevail against Thee." Hero was another Gideon, another David. The lesult was a complete vic tory i whose gloiy is ascribed to God by the Inspltcd penman. "The Lord smoto the Ethiopians," nnd thej lied Tiue, the bow and the spear were in the hands of the men of Judah and Benjamin, but there was another Hand, all unseen, that conducted the baltle. rgS7imiisit'nnrniiiifimiiini''miwinitrmiiiimnw.ni mm, .

Its ruler has a good heart, one that Is 1ijm1 to God. He destioys all lorins of worship except that of Jehovah which he establishes and maintains. He Intioduces time-honored but neglected laws, customs and manneiH, all designed for public good Manifold bles'slngs follow with abound ing prosperity. The gathered trensuie and the general feeling of content nie used In providing the comforts and defences which shall prepare for emei gencies. An army Is equipped to meet and overcome advrirmles. And when at length the foe appeals he Is met in fone, but before the battle ij Joined pinyer Is ofttred, and tl list Is express ed In the fioveielgn of the vvoild. Plctj plenty, protection prayer, these are th- conditions, and a gloilous victorj is the irsult. Peihaps thin Is not In ull inspects an Ideal for modern times Eliminate the king and Inaugurate a piesldent, nnd the descilptlon would be nearly complete for the best day of our own republic. What we need first Is ,i revival of lellglon, out chief men pioniotlng It Then will come ill ma terial good Then ouciit we to nreptie for d lys of evil And then ought we with trut In God to meet our foes nnd conquer.
