LESSON TEXT-II Chronicle. SJ:1-J0. GOLDEN TEXT?Let the wicked for uke hie way, and the unrighteous man hie thoushte: and let him return unto the lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our Ood. (or he will abundantly pardon.?Isaiah 66:7. ~ The reign of Manasseh was.tbe long est of any of the kiags of Judah. Jt l? strange that a wicked king, .should hare the distinction of the longest reign. This can be accounted for, per haps," by the fact that the nation was In such a' state that their Idolatrous corruption needed to ge to Its fullest development. It seems to be neces sary In a world of free beings, that their actions must go to a certain, stage Ht development. It was so with the Inhabitants of Canaan bvfore that land was possessed by Israel. Israel was kept In Egypt until the Iniquity of that nation was full. In this case I doubtless the Lord permitted this to i go on until the Idolatrous practices ? would become extremely obnoxious. Another reason why this Is done Is to show God's long forbearance. He Is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (II Peter 3:9). And finally, we can account for It on the ground that" Ood permits these things to go on long In order to vindicate his Justice when he Judges. He does not strike in Judg ment until all hope of repentance Is past , I, Manasseh's Sin (vv. 1-9)1 Though he had the example of a good father, ! he with passionate endeavgr gave him self up to the Imitation of the heathen about him. This shrfws that grace. Is not Inherited; a good father may have j a bad son. It also teaches us that It I Is absolutely necessary to bring the grace of God Into vital touch with our children, for that grace 1s absulutt-ly essential to their salvation. Only His gruce can counteract the downward pull of sin. 1. He restored Ihe high places which had Been destroyed by his father (v. 3). It Is thus seen that he sought to undo the good ttork done by his father, 2. He erected altars to Baal (v. 8). The Idols worshiped on these altars seem to have been Images of licen tious appearance, provoking the Indul gence of the human passion. There fore, with this worship was coupled the grossest licentiousness. 3. He Introduced ttie star worship of the Chaldeans and Assyrians (v. 8). He even erected these altars In the house of the Lord, yvlsdng them on a level with God himself. 4. He set up Moloch In the Vale of Hlnnon (v. 6). He not only encour ! aged this worship on the part of oth j ers, but he even caused his own chil dren to pass through the fire. 5. He practiced magic, witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit (v. 6). So gross were these practices that ttiey did even worse than the heathen whon> God had destroyed before the | Children of Israel came Into the land, j It seems to be true always that when ! those who profess to worship God turn away from him, they indulge In sin lfy excess of the unbelievers. 6. He rejected the Lo^?s testimony (v. 10) , Doubtless the prophets had again and again admonished him, but he seems to have turned entirely aslda* I from such remonstrances. * i tl - L I- I a I a t -i t il. miniHcn i uniniKmeni vvv. il ' 13). The Lord In grace used the As ? Syrian* to chastise Manasseh,* so as to 1 bring htm to see his evil ways. Ha | was captured, perhaps while hiding among the thicket of thorns (v. 11), bound In chains and carried to Baby | Ion. Tills was most humiliating. His hands were manacled, his ankles fas tened together with rings and a bar. III. Manasaeh's Repentance, (vv. 12. IS). Fortunately, the chastisement had Its desired effect. Manasseh was i brought td his senses and turned from | his evil ways. The steps In his re pentance'are as follows: 1. Affliction (v. 12). This was most I severe. Bound with chains and dragged to Babylon. While this was severe, It was light In comparison with the sins which provoked It. Many today are groaning under the weight of God's chastisement who have not yet come to realize that the weight Is light com pared with the offense. Affliction Is Ood's love token (Heb. 12:6). Its pri mary design Is to bring men back to God. 2. Supplication (v. 12). Manasseh had the good sense to cry out to God In this condition. It Is the unmistak able evidence that God's chastisement Is accomplishing Its purpose. We are instructed In James 5:13 in time of af fliction to pray. ' j 3. Humility (v. 12). This Is a com mon characteristic of penitent souls. Those who Mme under the hand of God always recognize It Id their hum ble walk. 4. Forglvwiess (v. 13)/ As soon as God sees tlie signs of penitence, he turna In mercy to the penitent and grants absolution for sin. No one needs to wait longilp receive Ids foe? glveness. 5. His kingdom restored (*. 13). Manasseh not only wai-forgiven, but he was actually restored to his king dom. Those who truly repent, God will not only forgive, but he will re store (Psa. 32:3-5). a Apprehension of God (v. 13). Through tftls experience Manasseh came to know God. ' He not only come to know God as the Jealous God, the One who will not tolerate a rival, bat he came to know him as a God of m?*cy. He came to know h)Bi In a new wny. Happy are those'who snb-, mlt to the chastisement of God, who opens their hearts to receive the new reflation of himself,' even though It be through the band of chastUemeat. HIS OWN ^""^BBV^^^UTCUPFir1" [ ?^gmarsss.ltod' ! TEXT? Having lovad Hla own Ba lovad ^ tham unto tba aad.?John 11:1. This text haa In It much at comfort, Rtrvngth and aaaurance (or the Chrta tlan. HI* Own Prop ?rty. Chriatians be long to tbc Lord In at least a three fold way. , Flrat by gift from tbe Father. In hla prayer In John 1? oar Lord, aayi "thine they were and thou caveat them to me." They do not belong to them selves bat to him ?his own pecu liar property, for mejr are nis peculiar treasure. The man of this world may rejoice Id tbe gift of gold and silver, but our Lord rejoices in tbe gift from the (father of those he Is pleased to call his breth ren. In the second place they are his own by purchase. He has paid to tbe ut termost farthing and now can say to them "Ye are not your own, ye are bought with a price." That price was nothing less than his own precious blood poured out on the cross of Cal vary. Be gave his life for bis sheep. He laid down his life as a ransom for them. He was the "merchantman seeking goodly pearls who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought It." The^ title to ownership of every Christian "is his. They are his own peculiar property. In the third place they are his by their surrender. As believers go on In their Christian life learning more and more of him, more and more do <hey surrender themselves to him. Some there are that try to withhold ? part of themselves from him, but they ure never huppy, contented Christians. The fullness of blessing and of power never comes until In fullness of sur render the Christian yields himself un to Che Lord, recognizing that he is Indeed the property of him who loved him and gave himself fat him. The measure of the Christian's dally peace and power is the measure of that Christian's surrender to the owner? the Lord Jesus. His Own Care. reter exhous the Christians to be "outing all your care upon him for he careth for you." This last sentence might be worded, "It 1* bis business to care for you," and he will caie for each one of his own. As they are his property, purchased by such a price, he will guard them from all harm^ protect them from all evil and set a hedge round about tbem against all that mipht injure them. Sometimes bard things come into tbe Christian's experience, but these may be the only way he can guard them from danger. He had to guard David from coming to the throne unprepared by allowing many a hard experience to come to htm. If this should meet the eye of some child of God passing through deep waters, it may be that the deep waters are Just the needed guard. In the second place they are his own peculiar care to guide. How often would they, like sheep, go astray but for his care In guiding them. Some times, 'tis true, he leads them in paths that look from the outside most unin viting, but once In those paths the Christian discovers they lead beside the still waters into pastures green and fresh. <??< ? In the third place they are his own peculiar care to provide for. tils pro vision Is new every morning and fresh at eventide. It is never old nor stale. His own miss much that he provides by being out of his place. He told the ravens where to place Elijah's food and he told Elijah where to go. Eli jah might hive delayed, but tbe ravens would have fulfilled tbelr part. Tbe provision of course would become stale and useless If Elijah was not there to use it. He provides plentiful ly for all his own, and If any of them prow faint maybe tbey are missing his provision which is piling up In his ap pointed place. If yobr place Is at home, do not he surprised If you miss his provision by going to China. And if his place for you Is upon some for eign field do not be surprised if you find yourself with little spiritual vigor in America. His Own Loved. Having loved his own, he loves them to the end. Christians sometimes are tempted to think his love varies with their own changing affections. But he loves them always with the same unwearied love. Lovea them In spite ,of failure, as the history of Peter so fully shows. Peter thought he would be ready to lay down his life rather than forsake him.' But how quickly be was put to shame by the question of a stranger maid, How pitiful tbe failure as the ,oaths slipped from his lips! But did the Lord's love weakenT Nay,'rather It burned. If possible, a bit brighter In his great heart and flamed out from his eyes, bringing Peter back to tie jrtnce of bitter tears through which be saw the path of return. In the second place, he loves his own In spite of all backwardness. Think of him walking and talking with Philip for three years. Instructing by example and by word all those days while he was about his Father's business, only at the end to find that I'bHIp had not learned the first lesson, but must needs say, "Lord show us the Father," not knowing "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father." How trying such backwardness Is, but to the Great Teacher it dM not lessen In any de gree his love. The tender passion by which he held Philip was Just as deep that moment when hla backwardness was revealed as ever It was. Do not allow any hint that his love for you grows cold when yon discover how lit tle progress you have made. CHOWAN MOTOR COMPANY. Psisinfor?Mali?Exprea* Daily Iim^I Sunday*. No lUimir an Sundays.
