Lesson I.?Third Quarter, For
July 2, 1911.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, lee. xxxvli, 21-36
Memory Vereee, 33-35?Golden Text,
Pe. xlvi, 1?Commentary Prepared by
Rev. D. M. Stearns.
The story of TIezrklnh Is somewhat
fnliy recorded not only In II Kings and
II Chronicles, but also (n the prophecy
of Isaiah. * A few weeks ago we were
considering how he began his 1-elgn by""
repairing and cleansing the-temple and
by keeping the Passover for all Israel,
summoning the twelve tribes thereto.
He wrought that which was good and
right and trnt? before the Lord his
God. and he sought God with all his
heart and prospered (II Chron. zzxl.
20, 21). Such devotion to the living
and true God was more thaa (be devil
eoald stand for all who will tlve godly
In CStrlst Jesus shall suffer persecution
(II Tim. 1U. 12), so be stirred up the
king of Assyria to fight against Jerusalem
and by words and letters to
meek and blaspheme the God of Israel
and His people. Tojila blasphemy and
rrvlHngs the people answered not a
word, but held their peaee.~aa the king
bad taught them (II Kings rvfli, 80).
Thus did David, aeeordlng to Pb.
xzzvlU. 13. and thus did: the Lord
Jesus both before the high priest and
Pilate (Matt. zzvl. 02. 03; xxvll, 14).
"When' He was reviled He reviled not
again; when He angered He threatened
nor* (1 Feb 1L It). Heeeklah did
with the wicked letter Just what we all
ought to do with sucB things?op read
them before the Lord and unburden
our hearts to Him about all such. I
have personally proved this a way of
peace nsevv than once. If yon do not
receive wicked lsttera yon will probably
hear of wicked words that havebesn
spoken against yon. Just tell all
to tbe Lord Jesus and leave all with
Him.
Heeektah's prayer at thla time Is a
most refreshing strwtv (TI Vt-M
14-19: Isa. xxxvlL 16-20). Note that
his reason for asking dellrerance was
that all the earth might know the Lord.
The prophet Isaiah also joined him In
prayer In this his time of difficulty (II
Chron. xxxlt. 20). Hezekiah was thus
able to speak to the hearts of the people
because he was himself comforted
by his trust In the Lord. "Be strong
and courageous; be not afraid nor dismayed
for the king of Assyria. There
be mdre with us than with them. With
him Is an arm of flesh, but with ns Is
the Lord our God to help us and to
fight our battles" (II Chron. xxxll, 7. 8).
In the portion assigned ns today we
have the Lord's answer to Hezekla'h
through the propheHsalah. It becomes"
us to be sure that God answers prayer
and. having committed our affairs to
Him. leave all with,Him In quietness
even though we may not have as
speedy an answer as the king had.
There Is no resting place tike the words
of the Lord God of Israel. The Virgin,
the daughter of Zlon. hath despised
thee and laughed thee to scorn (verse
22). When klngs'and rulers take counsel
together against the Lord He that
sltteth In the heavens shall laugh, the
Lord shall have tbem In derision (Ps.
11. 1-5). When the Lord's people are
touched In any way it is the Lord Himself
who is tonched. When the king
of Assyria reproached "and blasphemed
the king of Judah he was really blaspheming
the Lord, the Holy One of
Israel (verses 23. 24). So It has been
and shall be again and again until the
last great blasphemer shall be cast
alive Into the lake of fire (Dan. xl, 36;
Rev. xill. 4-8: ill. 19).
It la God Himself that tbe devil
bates and would dethrone If be could
and therefore shows his hatred toward t
the people of God, but hear the Lord as
He says to him. "I know thy abode,
and thy going out, and thy coming In,
and thy rage against me" (verse 28).
Then note what follows as to His assurance
of deliverance and mark well
the words. "The rani of tho T orri of
hosts shall do this" (verse 321. Compare
Isn. lx. 7. and be assured that the
zeal of the Lord of hosts will not rest
till the king shall sit on David's throne
and reign over the house of Jacob
(Luke 1, 81-33). For His own sake and
for His servant David's sake He will
do It (verse 35). See how easily the
Lord can overthrow His enemies and
deliver His people. He has but to
speak and It Is done. The angel of the
Lord went forth that night, and by His
power 185,000 of the Assyrian army
died. Thus easily did He overthrow
Pharaoh and his hosts In the Red sea.
In Israel's last extremity, when the
armies of antichrist shall be gathered
against Jerusalem, He shall come In
the clouds of heaven with power and
great glory and shall consume with
tbe spirit of His mouth and destroy
with the brightness of His coming that
wicked one and his armies (II Theas.
1, 8-10: Isa. xl. 4; Rev. xlx. 19. 20).
band came to arrest Hlip In the days
of His humiliation and weakness He
simply said. "I am," and tbey went
backward and fell to the ground. Remember
also that "by tbe word of the
Lord were the' heavens made and [all
the best of them by the breath ofdfls

A TRAGIC MOMENT.
Two Fomishod Mon and Thoir Last
Fifty Cant Piaoa.
A group of old time journeymen J
printers the other night were de- c
scribing their wanderings up and ^
down and across the map if the t
United States and pointing the do- C
scriptions of their, journeys tvith J
little hard luck stories of their own f
experiences here and there. A 0
little gray map with a high fore- (
head who hud been listening meek- c
ly- all .evening to the reminiscences '
of the others finally was moved to J
speech. ' - a
"I've worked in newspaper offices c
and priutshops in nearly every kind '
of a burg in this country from 0
Father Knickerbockers town to i
the shacks in Red Gulch, and I 8
have had to 'batter gates' once in J
awhile for a little broken grub," c
said he. a
"1 have been a. little more than e
hungry at times, and I used the ,
side door Pullman in most of my c
little journeys. But I believe the o
saddest and most hopeless moment '
of my life was in Chicago late in t
the fall of the year of the big Columbian
exposition. Me and a pal of
mine had drifted in there from I
the wide southwest somewhere, and ,
we were both just about broke. Our
clothes were getting thin, and the
October breezes coming across the
lake were begining to chill us to the 1
bone. But we clubbed together one e
day and raised enough' to pay our ii
admissions into tl^fair. We were t
bound to see it.'although it left us *
one lonesome half dollar between j,
the two of us. s
"All day we tramped, feasting t
out eyes bri the marvels of tlie big j
show, and late in the afternoon we t
landed back uptown, with our heads e
full of Venetian lagoons and white 4
palaces. We still had the half dol- J
lar, and in the intervals of recalling 0
this and that exhibit to each other S
we were planning how to spend the ^
50 cents to the best advantage. >,
or- : iv- n?i
t* c n?o ueanujj LI1C 1\USD Street a
bridge when we began to laugh p
over the queer antics and manner- I
isms of a "group of single eyeglassed a
Englishmen we had run across that t
afternoon in the British exhibit. t
"My pardner was mincing along, ?
giving an imitation of one of their a
'ludships,' and, suddenly thinking of c
the fifty cent piece, ran his hand ?
into his pocket and. lifting it to *
his eye. began using it as a monocle
Just at the height of his antics the (
half dollar slipped from his eye, 1
bounced and rolled a few inches ?
and slipped tbnjugh_a .nrack-in?the- bYidgciTooFclown
into the sluggish
waters of the Chicago river. It was
tragic. There .was nothing to be
said, We just looked at one another
for a minute and tramped on across
the bridge."?St. Louis Republic.
Startling Instance of Longevity. [
One of the most curious instances 1
of longevity is found in Miss Louisa *
Courtenay's "Notes of an Octoge- 5
narian." A witness in a will case ]
in which Bellenden-Ker, the great
English conveyancer, was engaged
was asked if he had any brothers
or sisters. He replied that be had |
one brother who died 150 years ago.
The court expressed incredulity, .
and documentary evidence was.produced
in support of the statement.
This showed that the witness'
father, who married first at the age
of nineteen, had a son who died in
infancy*^ The father married again
at the age of seventy-five and bad 1
a son who lived to appear in the J
witness box at the age of ninety- J
four and made the above 'startling t
statement. J

Nellie?Yes. Eject my young
brother. He is under the sofa. (The 1
young brother is ejected.) Now ^
open the cupboard and tell my sister,
who is listening, politely, but J
firmly, to depart. (The sister departs.)

Young Smith (wiping his brow)
?Now, darling, the coast is clear.
Will you be mine ?
Nellie?No! (Collapse of Smith.)

A Fatal Funeral.
^ An extraordinary series of fatalilady
died suddenly, and when the J
hearse cane to convey her body to ,
the graveyard the coachman fell
frbm the box in a fit of apoplexy
and died immediately. A woman
among the mourners was so ypset "
at this t?at sEe fell dead, as though
struck by lightning, and a child in '
bar anas was dashed against tha ^
stones with such violence that its t
skull sm fractured. Instead of one <
death four had to be notified to the
