Member of Ficnlty, Moody Biblo Institute of Chicago, t Western Newspaper Uuion. ? _ Lesson for August 4 JOSIAH LESSON TEXT?II Kings 22:1-5, 2123. GOLDEN TEXT?Thou Shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.?Matthew 4:10. PRIMARY TOPIC?When B King Read the Bible. JUNIOR TOPIC?When a King Used the Bible. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC?Things That Keep God Oat. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC?What Our Religion Owes to Reformers. I. Josiah, a Godly Young King (II Kings 22:1, 2). "IIo did that which wns right In the Eight of the Lord, nnd turned not aside to the right hand or to the left" About one hundred years elapsed between the reformation under Hezeklab and that of Josiah. Sometime duriDg this period the Booh of Clod's Law had been lost Two wicked kings had reigned In this Interval It was incumbent upon the king to have the Law of God at his command and faithfully to read It A country's highest well-being can only bo attained when it has godly rulers, and rulers and people not only read the Bible, but order their lives and conduct according to its teachings. Not until rulers and people return to God and conform their Uvcs to the standard of his Word can we hone for return of permanent prosperity. II. The Book of the Law Found (II Kings 22:3-10). t 1. The occasion (vv. 8-S). It was while restoring the temple during Josinh's administration that the Law was found. In clearing out the dark corners to make repairs and to And a place to store the subscriptions made by the people, many lost things were found. 2. The Book rend before the king (vv. 0, 10). Upon making n report of the work to the king, Shaphan Informed him of the finding of the Book of the Law of the Lord, and he read the Book hvCoiv the king. III. The Effect of the Reading of the Law Upon the King (II Kings 22:1120). 1. He rent Ills clothes (v. 11). As the Law was read before him he was led to realize the awful extent of the nation's departure from God. The rending of the royal robes Indicated the king's penitence and sorrow. 2. The king sent a deputation to make Inquiry of the Lord (vv. 12-20). He Included himself In the guilt before God (v. 13). His senso of sin was so keen that he sent to Inquire of the Lord as to whether there was any means of diverting llie divine Judgments. 3. The message of Huldah the prophetess (vv. 15-20). a. Confirmation of what the Law said (vv. 15-17). She said that all the curses written In the Law must fall, for the sins had been so fingrnnt that God's wrath could not bo restrained. It wns not too late, upon repenting, to 1 obtain mercy from God, but outward consequences of sin must be realized. b. Acceptance of Joslah's repentance (vv. 13-20). Because of bis ten- c derncss of heart and deep penitence, I the Lord snld he was to be gathered to < his grave In peace and should thus es- < cape all the evil brought on Jerusalem I and Its people. What Huldah said was true, eveu though Joslnli died In battle ' (II Chron. 35:22-25). I IV. The Reformation instituted by ( Josiah (II Kings 23:1-25). 1. The king read the Law (w. 1, 2). ] lie gathered together the Inhabitants j" of Jerusalem, inclnding the priests. |1 Levites, and elders and read unto them 1 the Law What a nappy scene It would ' be If the President of the United ' States would call the representatives v of the people together to hear God's 1 law read. 1 2. The king made a covenant before I the Lord (v. 3). In this covenant he pledged himself: a. To walk before the Lord. This meant that he would get personally right with God. b. To keep God's commandments, his testimonies and his statutes. This obedience was to be a heart obedience. c. To perform the words of covenant which were written In this Book. The king not only entered Into this sincerely but caused all who were present to "stand to" It 3. The king took away the abominations (vv. 4-20). He not only broke down the places of Idolatrous worship, but slew the priests who officiated at the altar. 4. The Passe ver kept (vv. 21-23). So fully and heartily did they enter Into this reformation that this Passover was unlike any that had been held since the (MOW THAT the HOIISF. itffo OF HAZARDS By yM Mac Arthur <ii5* t y l u Getting Nc ??

This short climb will be made possible when the Linvillo Improvement Company opens a new road leading from the Yonahlossee Trail, Federal Highway 221, from Linville io Blowing Rock, to the level plateau just beneath the first peak of old Grandfather. The Improvement Company started work on an old abandoned road, built in the 18S0"s, on June 24 and expects to have the new one ready to open to the public, within the next few days. The new road has aiready been leveled, widened sufficiently for two automobiles to pass comfortably, and will be covered with gravel eventually all the way to the top. The drive from Die highway to the plateau is approximately two miles iong with the last mile providing promising glimpses of what lies in store for the tourist from the }.\E MORK S'CTRVEV MKRnsi) FOR Rl'RAC ELTECTRI FIC AT JON - i.

"All communities which were not studied in the original survey now save one more opportunity to be In:luded on the same basis as those previously studied," says David S. Weaver, agricultural engineer at the State College. "This is the last chance ind we are hopeful that interested inlivlduals and communities will se:ure the necessary blanks which have jeer furnished to county agents and .vill fill these out as quickly as possiJle and mail them to my office here it the college.

A reasonable toll for automobile traffic will be charged to take narc of the maintenance of the road. Even after the road has been opened for travel, the work of improving if will continue steadily until it will rank with the best mountain roads in the Stale. The White Rocks plateau under the peak will furnish a parking space for more than fifty automobiles. Leaving his car there, the tourist may follow a neatly laidout trail winding around the peak up to the top Or it' he prefers he need not make the climb. The view from the plateau itself more than justifies a short drive of two miles. But that sense of achievement one feels when standing on the top of Grandfather will not leave many visitors on the level below. Ancient Rock Structure Grandfather Mountain, the most rugged peak of the Blue Ridge range, has an elevation of 5960 feet, more than 2,100 feet, above Linville. One of the most widely known mountain landmarks of Eastern America, it is also one of the oldest mountains in the world older than the Alps, Andes, Rockies or the Himalayas, according to prominent geologists The geologic story of Grandfawc will send a. trained person to the! county to meet with the community leaders and others." Weaver says 677 communities in 7S counties were Surveyed in the original study but since that time a num i her of individuals and community j leaders have reported that tliey dirt not know about the survey and would like to have their situation consirtj ered. Additional fluids were .secured from the ERA to make this further study but it is extrmely doubtful if any more funds will be available for this purpose. Therefore, the engineer urges that prompt action be taken by those communities where no survey has been made. "Secure forms from the cou-ity agent: hoiu a community meeting ami decide on the territory to be covered; fill in the forms and mail to me, and we will send a man to the community as quickly as possible," Weaver says. The engineer will he sent only to those communities where the establishment of a power line appears to bo feasible, he concluded.

C rand father yen to Plateau Just Beflountain ij ?I ? " I I ther Mountain goes back to the be- j ginning of historical geology. Ge- I ologists believe that all the mountain making of Western North Carolina look place at the close of the Paleozoic era millions of years ago, a time known as the Appalachian Revolution. At the end of this period there came into existence a magnificent mountain chain with towering peaks and masses, much higher than at present. From that (Sate erosion has been continually at work wearing away these rocks. The harder, less soluble i-jcks, being more resistant to erosion, formed the mountains such as Grandfather and Grandmother, while the softer rocks formed the valleys and low ridges of this section. Viewed from the Yonahlossce Trail from Linville to Blowing Rock, Nature has skillfully carved | this masterpiece to resemble the profile of an old man lying down. Hence the name Grandfather.
