In this men's class I fourth) ninety-five present. What a crowd of ; intelligent noble business: men from; the various vocations o{- life "assem-! bled to' study God's eternal truth! And too so deeply interested, so full of enthusiasm that it was~a benediction to be among; them, Brother ^ Crews has the honor, and I am sure . the gTeat pleasure Of being the teacher of this class. I greatly enjoyed lis- ' tening; to him. I I learned that the young men's . class had 84 present, and the total for the whole Sunday School was 481 ' present. What a great Sunday School! Brother J. M. Irby is the able Super- , intendent and he makes things bus- | tie as he did when he was clerk of i Vernon Hill Church when I was pas-. | ter tb*re for seven -years. Blessings ' ijl * him. After Sunday School, the pastor, Ker. T. Ryland Sanford preached a most excellent sermon on the "Well in Bethlehem by the Gate."

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC?God's Hand in Human Affairs. ; YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC?-What Jehoiada Meant to Judah. t Joash, viewed In the light of his ancestors, was a poor prospect for a king. His grandmother was the wicked Athalinh and his great-grand- : parents were Ahab and Jezebel. There was enough bad blood In his veins to issnrgtitB" doom. Despite Ipls fact, h?T Drought ubont some noble reforms and turned the people back to God. ji i. Atrial iao Usurps ths Throns. .< (vv. 1-3). |i 1. Her Attempt to Destroy the Seed \ lioyal (v. 1). l.i order to remove any rightful claimant to the throne she . tried to kill all tlie'Toyal male chll- ' ilren. The act wns not of sudden 1mpulse, but of deliberate purpose. 2. Jonsh Preserved by Jehosheba (w. 2, 3). Though Athaliah was keen < eyed, she was checkmated by another ^ woman. This womnn, the wife of the j priest, stole away tjiis child aod hid , him away In a bedchamber for six rears. God had promised that through . the Day Idle line the Messiah should come. In order that this line be un- ' broken Joash must be preserved. No ' purpose of God con fall. II. Joash Crowned King (vv. 4-12). 1. Jehoiachi's Preparations (vv. 4 11). The high priest and his wife were strong characters. As the high prlest^-Jelioladft felt that it wns his duty to thwart the heathen project of ; Athaliah. His wife's co-operation made possible, the saving of, Joash. (1) Seeks th^ldof the military lead- 1 ers _lj.e know somehow that these men were not loyal to Athaliah. (2) He tojjk^ia oath of them, lu the , house.of tlieXord (v. 4). lie bound | them to their agreement by every available means. (3) IJe incited their spirit of pa- i trlotlsm (v. 4). He gave them n Sight i of the king's Von. This, no donbt, was , a'.'great surprise. . Now, having seen 'I the heir to the throne, they would risk everything, even their lives, in order to set him on the throne. (4) lie co-ordinates all matters (vv. fi ll). The soldiers were divided into companies and'nnns were dis- 1 trlbuted to them. Each group wns as signed to specific duties. ? 2. The- Coronation (v. 12). (1) The Ling's son brought forth. This was a great day in Jerusalem. ! (2) Put the crown upon him. Thii was the formal induction Into 'office. (J) Care him the testimony. This J was a copv of the law indicating that t the king was to rule according to the , law ojMJod. The act of putting the j law on his head.showed that the kin? himself would be under control of the law. (4) Made him king. This shows thai he had been made king by the choice of .the people. - (5) Anointed hhn. They poured oil upon his head. This was the usual method of consecrating prophets priests and kings. (6) Clapped their hands. This was a token of Joy. The deed being done, they were ready to publicly proclaim, it They shouted "Long live the king." f III. Althaliah Slain (vv. 13-17). . 1. The Noise of the Coronation of .TonRh Brought Athaliah to the Templf (v. 15). Up to this time she thought her place on the throne was secure and that her heathen religion had. free course. 2. Her Doom (v. 14). Upon her or rival at "the temple she saw the king wearing the crown and surrounded by guards so that she could do nothing In her despair she exclaimed ''Trca son, treason." This was uot ..treason but the triumph of right o^er wrong? the defeat of conspiracy and plotLing. 3. Athaliah Executed (vv. 15. 16).' The orders were that she should not be killed In the temple. They led her! out by the way of the horses' entrance to the -Icing's palace and slew her. What a tragic end for the sinner. Sir mi imi y prosper ror n time. IV. Worship of the People (vv S 17.

"I knew .'there--waf a storm, atidj that if we didn't gef away from there' we would be in the middle of it." | The Commissioner didn't look at' the speedometer and he is not. certain how fast he went> but the'Racktrd he drives is good for better than 70 miles an hour. The road was smooth and fairly straight, and h? gave it all that it would take. But the tornado gainej on them. M>| Daniel, looking back occasionally, re- j ported progress and the CorAnission-j ar tore a little heavier on the accel-j, sr at or. Now and then he glanced over) flis shoulder. Fragments of houses were in the) rir, the clouds were thick with trees married-up to-five or six hundred feet and for a quarter of a mile on either side of the core of the storm ires? t were r.trainirtg' "ht their roots, lean-j ing toward the storm.

Later dr.-Page noticed the tree?. _w?ro wrung off fifteen feet above the -j [round and' the car stood there uninrt.

"The most pitiful sight 1 ever saw n my life was little negro boy about :en years old as he csme back across he fields naked, save for a few strips >f his shirt.
