the Austrian - :
Settlement
,' The major significance of the
Austrian settlement 'seems' to 1 be
connected " with President Dwlght
Di EisenhbwerV public request for
the Coimmmists t make some conV.
crete move, such as the agreement
which has-been made on Austria,
which would prove their sincerity.
Thl President was speaking,- of
course, of the sincerity of the CoW
ninnista' .insistence that ' theV -seek
only peace. ' V " ':, j ; -: V j
;Ther, are strong indications that
ibe Russians have agreed to the
evacuation ..of Communist troops
pros Austria, in an attempt to cort
Msce .Jhe; free world that they seek
a lessening of tension in the cold
war." : r The primary purpose :. was
probably 'to influence West Ger
man in, the current controversy be
tween advocates' of neutrality and
alliance with the West. , '
Nevertheless, the. .Russians have
made the very move that - Presi
dent Eisenhower has called for, on
ifcveral (occasions in the past, and
therefore, one; of the, stumbling

Rreakfast
And Reducing .
v ,, , ,, , t
To all those either reducing or
plaVining to reduce, we would give
the following advice keeping in
. rpind that advice is seldom want
ed' 'and even more seldom follow
ed) when givenr ,
has beeome fashioitablo espe
cially among the fairer sen to- in
etude in ne' lajt 5,fef losing
weighty thg , emission; - of breakfast.
Vet recent knowledge proyeg thai
ikipping Iraaicfast is. an improper
wy to ' diet 'which seJdotn makes
for effective weight reduction. ,
Scientists are almost unanimous-,
jy agreed on tfiis paint. Skipping
breakfast usually .results in aa of
twd .things::' either- compensation
for the loss 'of food at breakfast
at other meals; or compensation tor
U between meals. Moreover, unless
tiiere is a severe ease of nervous .
tension involved, the body needs a
balanced breakfast at the begin
ning of a work day.
V.We will add one more word of
advice to members of the fair six,
dhd that is non-professional advice.
Over-emphasis on the .slim figure
Russians' "actually seek a lessening
'of tension between' the East' mi
West at a Big Fvut meeting.. For
the first time in several years, how
eve, it appears that there might
be a chance that tension will, be
lessened and, therefore, the desir
ability of such a meeting is obvious.

II Chronicles :l-8, 3S41. .
of the great
Hezekiah, at
five; inher-
r; Fori more than a quarter .of a
century, the 1 Kingdom of Judah
had . been menaced by the Assyr
ians, Ahas had dorie "homage , to
the Assyrian king and his son,
Hezekiah, who succeeded ,hii, be
came almost a vassal
Assyrian Empire; thus
the age of only twenty,
-ited net only a ithrone, but ill the
difficult problems connected with
trying to protect a small nation
from. the imperialistic plans of lar
ger and mere powerful surround
ing countries. X;
' fhere-is nstrange pjoralleli hi the
position in which fieiekiah'i found
himself and the position of some
of the smaller nations of the world
today. Expediency, 4 rather1 than
wisdom, dictated that Judah enter
into : art alliance with a .stttmger
power to protect itself against the
growing-encroachment of, a neigh
boring power. : 1 '" ' '
Although Fie, . prophet Isaiah
warned vigorously agrhwt ftHete
kiah joined, in a'reheiUio against
the Assyrian overtordship m an At
tempt to throw off the annual tri
bute. . Seaaacherih : irtwoediately
sent his tloops westward, and af
ter conquering Phoeneciair tewns,
invaded Judah and blockaded Jeru
salem, but did not take it.
" Seeing such stai if affairs as
probable. Hezekiah had prepared
for it by having a conduit for wa-v'
'ter built, and plans made wKhin the
city to withstand a long geige. Ju-
dah, however, aurf fereg greatly an a
resyU of her alliance with Egypt
and Babylonia and Isaiah was not
slow in reminding Jthe king and his
people of their losses.
, While Hezekiah was certainly not
without fault in the matted he has
been placed very high amng the
kings of Judah after the fail of , the
monarchy. . II Kings 18:5, declare
of hiav there, was ."after him, none
like him aawng &e Innfs of Ju
dah, nor any that $were before
Ma",'
In the first month of hip reign,
he reversed the policy of his fath
er Ahas. and ."opened the doors of
thehoue of , the. lord.". To his
credit, he set but to restore the
Mosaic forms of worship, removing
every possible kenessl to God
from the places :nf pagan1 worship.
Even the. brazen serpent, which tsh$
people had come t9 worship, .was
broken to nieces. H senjt letters
of invitation to all the tribes, north
and1 south, to attend the official
restoration - of the historid liturgy
of the Hebrews. ,
Th boJdnesa of hia refermation
was practicnHy nntthfied j by the
fact that the whole movement tend
ed to make worship an affair of
the state rather than an affair of
the heart. Ceremonial religion,
carried even to its hideous extreme
of human sacrifice, has never sav
ed anyone. Zeal for God his right
ousness, not zeal for ritual, will
give" strength, te meet the problems
and perils- of th ay,';v.'t (".
It is t Beiekiah'e credit that he
kept the prophet ' Isaiah close ' to
him as his counsellor, although he
did not always heed the warnings
of the man of God. Not only was
Isaiah a man who had surrendered
his life to God's call, he was a real
statesman, with the courage to
speak his convictions, at all times
and in all places, braving the wrath
ef kings, princes, priest and fata
prophets. , -. ' . 7 ':
Having utmost faith !n Cedv
Isaiah , believed that while Cad
would sav. a sinning peopSe fo
their own sakes, in spite of their
sins, for grownds snffieient to him.
God tsvi$ nwl would overrule' ftn
evil designs el Jerusalem's eneic 'es
herder ta further his purpose of
bring Saviour ta all the eot7S
of al the earth. (Isa. 40:18-31),
Hezekiah had abundant proofj of
the aoundnesn of th adviea of IU
ah,, when he told him to depend pn
God for protection against fee fin
ef hb kingdom. ' V.n Sennac'Ju-
ibr kisg ef Assyr1-!, wanted to cap
ture JFu'-h to mC that kingdom
serve as sort of buffer state be
tween ; Assyria and his ' enemy,
Egypt, .Hezekiah l gretlly
alarmed. He went to woi ta fre
pare the, city , or Jerusaleinir a)

th breajut in th, walls. He had
a double wall put around the city
and watch towers erected as stra

It't fascinating thing, that globe. As
they twirl U Ken-Md Johnnie apeak of the
places' they'd like to visit, the things they'd .'
like to Ao. All the wonders they've ever '
heard of come to life for them, and it's as
if they could actually shut thir eyes and
see the Taj Mahal, in its Oriental splendor
and the Tower of Pisa slanting across the
itifa;.ky. ' ' ;
Bttt ft' a frightening thing too,' that
globe, Shadowed . by war and the threat of . ,
war, iAtoIerancei, superstition. Out of it's
darkness, a single light burns brightly, the
light of FAITH . . kindled across its face
by the Church. Ken and Johnnie . . . and
all the other youngsters in their genera

Church if they are going to succeed in matt
