Lesson for August 27 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education: used by permission. I'ZZIAH: A KING WHO FORGOT GOD ^LESSON TEXT?U Chronicles 26:3-5. 16GOLDEN TEXT?Every one that exalteth himself shall he abased: and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted ?Luke 18:14. "Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall" (Prov. 16:18). A man's life may begin with every promise of greatness and he may prosper in everything for years as he honors Goci, and then by presumptuous disobedience he may < bring it all to sudden destruction living the closing years of his life j in disgrace and going down to his grave in sorrow. That fact is written so large on the pages of history that one marvels that "wayfaring men though fools" need to "err therein" (Isa. 35:8). Pride makes a man blind to his own weakness and so presumptuous that he walks right into trouble. The story of Uzziak points a moral both obvious i and needed by all of us. 1. Prosperity (w. 3-5). "As long as he sought the Lord, God made him prosper" (v. 5). With a heart right toward God, the background of a rearing by God, fearing parents (how much that means!) and the counsel of a man ' who was an "expert" in his understanding of the ways and the will I of God, Uzziah prospered greatly. Chapters 25 to 27 of II Chronicles j reveal him as a man of affairs, a successful warrior, a capable agriculturist, an able gvernment administrator, and a king whose fame was known far and wide. For one who took over the government of a nation at the tender age of 16. following the tragic death of his father, Uzziah made a remarkable and commendable record. II. Presumption (v. 16). "When he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction" (v. 16). What sad words! Prosperity ruined a man who had made a name for himself in times of adversity. In presumptuous pride he ' attempted to take the place of the j priest ordained of God. in effect de; claring that the State was over the Church, as we would put it in our day. "There is no greator danger attaching to the life of Christian service than the danger of presumptuous pride. I mean the pride which manifests itself in an independence of the ordinary means of grace, of prayer, and of the Word of God. 1 am convinced that that is the cause of much of the failure in many lives here. It is a pride which says: 'i can dispense with the Word of God'; which persists in living on a minimum of prayer and communion with God, and in yet going about the work of God as of old; a pride which, like Uzziah's, seeks carnal prominence in spiritual things. For that was his sin. He sought a carnal prominence in service which God had ordained was to be of an entirely spiritual order" (J. Stuart Holden). III. Punishment (vv. 17-21). "The king was a leper . . . and _r* * *> I . . . ?aa lui un irum me nouse or I the Lord" (v. 21). The priests ot God had holy boldness in rebuking the king, a quality which one could hope would never be missing in the testimony of God's servants. The king, however, resented their wise words of counsel, and punishment 1 from God, both swift and terrible. I came upon him. If the judgment upon Uzziah I seems too drastic, let us remember j that the king was presuming to set | aside an order established by God. | It was a question of whether God j was to rule or the king. We should also bear in mind that what looks like a single outward bit of presumption was really the expression of a heart that had long since gone far from God. When men in high position either in the State or in the Church fall into sin, it is not very often the result of a yielding to a sudden temptation, but rather the inevitable showing forth of what nas long oeen true in trie inner life. The leprosy of Uzziah's heart now showed forth in his face, and he had to be shut off from his people and from his royal position. God Sees the Heart Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.?Hebrews 4:13. j WISE and OTHERWISE^ \ HE?had a heart of gold, a 1 laugh of silver and a mine 1 of information.

This represents more than three degrees of a circle, nearly one 100th of the total circumference of the earth. The curve of the horizon was easily noticeable when the picture was projected on a screen. When the edge of a ruler is laid along the horizon line the curvature is even more plainly visible.

Your food sours, forms gas, causes belching, heartburn, and a feeling of restlessness and irritability. Your tongue may be coated, your complexion bilious, and your bowel action sluggish or insufficient. These are some of the symptoms of biliousness or so-called "Torpid Liver," so prevalent in hot climates. They call for calomel, or better still.
