THOMAS SIN When we get sick, we usu ally call for a doctor to get as well again. He will give us the right pills or medi cine to get us well again. He can’t use the same medi cine for every one. He has different pills for different diseases. He can only try to cure the body, but not the soul. We all ne.ed a doctor who will help us and the only one I know Is Jesus. He made the lame to walk again and the blind to see again. He cures people from their diseases. lam not sick, you say. We are all sick from sin, beloved, and sin will send us to hell. Jesus is the answer. He knew no sin but He took our sin for us on the tree of Calvary. There won’t be any sickness and death in heaven, be loved. You can go, too, by ac cepting Christ as your Sav ior, but you must ask Jesus for help. Won’t you call Him iodav, the neatest doc tor of all? The Bible says “For he hath made him to be sin for 'us, who knew no sip: that we might be made the right eousness of God in him.”— II Cor. 5:21.

By taking heed thereto according to thy word”—Psalm 119:9. "fcesson ■ Te’xt: IT Kings 21:1 to 23:30. Today our study lies in the Book of Josiaha—an ex cellent illustration of the ef fective power of God’s Word when it lodges in a receptive life. In his goodness there shone the reflection of a per sonal discovery and delight in God’s law. Josiah was a king among kings in his day. While oth er rulers of his time had the lives of the people placed in their hands by God. and while they admittedly’ did much that was good during their reigns—it is all too of ten a matter of history that the inner weaknesses of their natures overcome them in later years, thereby undoing, to a great extent the good that they had done. Not so Josiah, for he did that “which was right in the sight of the Lord —and turn ed not aside to the right hand or to the left.” (II Kings 22:2). So personal wan the call that Josiah felt that he de stroyed all that was dedicat ed to the worship of idols and other gods; he destroyed thoroughly and ruthlessly, and called upon his people to heed the law of God. There must certainly have been a great inner motiva tion that prompted Josiah’s actions; for history reveals that his forebears were not so dedicated individuals! In deed, his grandfather Man asseh was, perhaps, one of the most idolatrous kings of that time. But from whatever sources Josiah culled his sincerity, there is no doubt that the finding of God’s Word in tile Temple (where it had seem ingly been lost) provided the spark that kindled a sense Colonial Motor Co., of Edenton BUICK - OLDS - PONTIAC GMC TRUCKS Belk - Tyler’s EDEN TOW’S SHOPPING CENTER W.

Uely enshrined! And yet—l when one pauses to 'think J about it is that fact so j astounding? The Book has its appoint ed place in every House of | Worship in this broad land : of ours. Yet it is not the j cover, nor the gilt-edged j pages that make up the . Bible. Rather, it is the con- !' tent. For in it is contained j ideology, ethics, truth, com- j fort -- and warning against | evil-doing. It is, in essence, j Life itself. It is bound, yet j it knows no boundaries. It i can he held in the hand—in | the pocket; but it MUST be j carried in the heart. No— j the Word can never be lost j in a Christian’s life if it is j given its proper place in that ! life. Discovery o; taxi's word, for Josiah, meant a very personal application of God's laws to himself. To him it also meant a sense of re pentance for the sins com mitted by his people, and a sense of responsibility to wards his fellowmen on his part. With a renewed sense of duty to his subjects, he called them publicly togeth er and set about restoring God’s laws in their lives. And it is to their credit that “all the people stood to the covenant.” Such is the pow er of example by one man in the lives of many! We would do well to ask ourselves: “What kind of ex ample am I setting for my fellow man?” Have we lost the “law of the Lord?” For We must be ever mindful of the fad that God’s laws get lost when' they are not kept in our hearts as guides to a right life as we are confront ed by the doubts that beset us and the decisions that plague us as we make our' way through this life on earth. To guard against such a catastrophe, let us make sure there is a place for delight in God’s law in our hearts! Then neither it—nor wo—will ever be lost. % S M#W fal ' ** ft X*y ' I It snowed yesterday and when it stopped, I walked along the creek in a world of THB * CHURCH FOR all frosty splendor.
