' LESSON TEXT II Chron. MtH.16 .tt OOLOEN TEXT A man's pride shall Brine: him low, but ho that Is of a lowly iptrlt shall obtain honor. Prov. 29:23 v. Again we consider the southern kingdom. I, No better character could nava oeen chosen to illustrate the condition of rulers and people In the declining days of Judah's glory. Us slab ruled for 52 years and his reign waa almost midway between the days of Solomon and those of the Babylon ian captivity. I. Prleat and Parents, w. 1-8. The name uiilah means "God has helped me," and no king ever had better ad vantages In the way of parents and counselors. To the Influence of hi parents be yielded In his youth (v. 4). followed the good counsel of Zacha- riab the prophet of Ood (v. S), and as long as he sought the Lord, "Ood made him prosper." Ancestry and en vironment are not, however, a guar anty of any perpetuity In character. II. Pride, w.6-15. Usilah or Azarlah (marg.) made a fine start and his reign, considered as a whole, was one of the most brilliant la Judah's history- It bears some striking resem blances to that of Solomon In that the dangerous enemies became subject na tions (r. 8). In the conduct ot his campaigns Citlah "waxed exceeding ly atrong" (v. 8 R. V.) Uiziah alo greatly Improved and strengthened Jerusalem and gave much heed to stock raising and forestry (r. 10). The secret of all of this prosperity was that he sought Jehovah. Christen dom la not Christianity, yet it is a fact that in those lands where Ood Is most highly exalted and most near ly followed we witness the greatest prosperity and men living amidst the most comfortable surroundings. Seek Jehovah, know his will as revealed In his word, and do that will when learned, is the only true basis of real and lasting prosperity. Uzziah also gave an exhibition of worldly wisdom that he strengthened the defenses of the nation (v. 9-10). Confidence In Ood does not paralyze human energy or make us presumptuous and care less (I Chron. 27:25-31). Uzzlah brought the army up to a high point of efficiency v. 13-16), using the best' weapons known In his day. We, likewise, may be "marvolously helped" from the same source and upon the tame conditions; viz., that we "seek the Lord" (Eph. 6:10; Phi. 6:13). III. Punishment, w. 16-21. (1) Pride Uzzlah's faU and shame Is one ot the saddest chapters in history. His strength became his ruin. "When be was strong his heart was lifted up." Poverty, struggle and adversity are not passports to glory though they have strengthened the moral fiber ot thousands. The tempting tests ot prosperity, gilded, perfumed and at tractive are, however, tar more hard to withstand. Pride always leada to (2) Presumption Centuries before Ood bad warned men that prosperity would lead to ruin (Deut. 8:11-17; 32:13-16) and Solomon also gave warning (Prov. 16:18). The subtlety of pride Is the gradual way by which we come to look upon our prosperity as the work of our own hands, 'there by forgetting the source of our row-. er and becoming filled with a feeling of our own self-sufficiency. The next step was that Vxzlah assumed to him self those duties (v. 16) which right fully and exclusively belonged to the priesthood (see Num. 16:40; 18:7; I Kings 12:33; 12:1-4; Heb. 6:4). (3) Pro testing We now behold the strange spectacle of the king protesting fur the wrong and the faithful priest a Azarlah for the right. A sad specta cle Indeed when the bead ot a nation openly avows the wrong and persists in it despite the protests of the serv ant of God. The last part of verse 18 Indicates the extent and perver sity ot TJssiah's pride. Admonition only aroused the anger of the all-con-querlng , monarch. No honor ever come from disobeying Ood (I Sam. 2:30; Dan. 6:37). Uzziah apparently (v. 19) was about to use the censer in his hand as a weapon in execution of his -wrath, but Ood interfered (I Peter 6:6-7). Azarlah Is saved and Uzzlah becomes a leper. We must not press the teaching thi all sickness la the result of sin (; Job). - , . .' TJzzlah was forever separated 21) and was In his death "unclean" be cause "His heart was lifted to his de struction," ' - '. '"' -: There are four suggestions ia dos ing: (1) Uzzlah's pride had gone too far; secretly and perhaps unconscious ly it had slowly, but surely permeated his whole nature.: -v.: -'k' y (2) Leprosy was a fitting punish ment, for it was an emblem 01 ins foulness ot his sin.

In deed, when he was in New Tork re cently for the first time be Intimated tbat a sledge journey ot hundreds of miles over tnt snowy wastes was noth ing to compare with a trip across Fifth avenue through the streams ot automobiles, Senator AKIrith was born In Fort Wayne, Ini. fifty-eight years ago, and at the age of nineteen he joined Gen eral Terry's command on the Yellowstone river during the Indian campaign of 1876. He was driving a six-mule government team In Terry's division In Montana at the time of the Custer massacre. The next year he was with Gen. Nelson A. Miles in the Nez Perces expedition, in which Chief Joseph was captured. In 1879 he began prospecting for gold, and has pursued the career ofa miner ever since.

It would, In 1. take only a part of th property t the legislatures of the states or of the Nation have a right, It they it to take nway entirely. I do not believe any Injustice can com from taking away portion of an Inheritance from a man who has done Whing whatever toward Its ac quisition. It Is taking something that he bas not produced. .- Th particular provisions I propose will leave enough, without any serious taxation, to keep him and all his friends and family in absolute luxury during all their lives."
