20. "And they went in to the king and
told all the words in the ears of the king. "
This is King Jehoiakim, a son of Josiah,
who reigned 11 years, but did evil In the
sight of the Lord. In the fourth year of
his reign the Lord told Jeremiah to write
In a book all the words He had snokp.n
against Israel since the days of Josiah and
road them to the people If perchance they
might turn from their sins to the Lord and
have their iniquity forgiven. Both In the
fourth and fifth years of Jeholakim's reign
these words were read publicly and pri
vately again and again (see previous part
of this chapter), and now some who heard
them tell them to the king.
21. "So the king sent Jehudi to fetch
the roll, and Jehudi read it in the ears of
the king." Baruch the scribe, who had
written the words of the Lord from the
mouth of Jeremiah, had also read the
book in the ears of the people and of the
rulers (verses 6, 8, 10, 15, 16), but now
Jehudi reads. It docs not matter much
who reads provided he reads distinctly
and give the sense and cause the people to
understand the reading (Neh. viii, 8). As
to the origin of the words, they were from
the Lord, tho Lord's words. He used
Jeremiah's mouth and Baruch 's pen and
u:outh, but the message was neither from
Jeremiah nor from Baruch, but from God.
Now it is .Tehudi's mouth, but It is still
the same message from the Lord.
22, 23. "He cut it with the penknife and
cast it into the fire that was on the hearth,
until all the roll was consumed in the
fire." Thus did Jehoiakim with the roll
containing the message from the Lord.
Thus he despised and treated with con'
tempt the message from the Lord and
turned his back upon the Lord and would
not hearken to Him. What a contrast to
Josiah in our last lesson, who humbled
himself before God and turned to Him
with all his heart ! Jehoiakim was a Cain
man, while Josiah, like Abel, had faith in
God. All are either for or against God.
21. "Yet they were not afraid, nor rent
their garments, neither the king nor any
of his servants that heard all these words.
The hard hearted, rebellious king would
influence those about him in some meas
ure to be rebellious, like himself. When
once the heart turns away from God, the
hardness ofttirncs increases very quickly.
When wo receive not the truth in the love
of it, God lets us believe a delusion and a
lie (II Thess. ii, 11, 12). It is a fearful
thing to even listen to a word against God
or against His word, for, while holiness Is
not easily communicated, sin is, accord
ing to Hag. ii, 12, 13.
25. "Ho woii not hear them." Three
are mentioned who pleaded with the king
not to burn the roll, but he would not
listen to them. He thought that he knew
better than his counselors, he was in hig
own esteem wiser than his father who had
humbled himself before God, he did not
believe that "He that, being often re
proved, hardeneth his neck shall suddenly
be destroyed, and that without remedy"
(Prov. xxis, 1).

Natty Byrne sat on hig high stool
near the one window of the cabin in the
falling dnskv He was tired of waiting,
very tired, but his grandfather's orders
had been explicit. "Shtay here. Natty,
till ye see me ag'in. There's bread in
the cupboard an maybe a taste o' but-
ther, an I'll bring some thin ewate for
ye f rom Carmore. " I do not say that
Natty had not thought of disobeying.
As a matter of fact, the temptation had
recurred at short intervals during the
whole afternoon, once in the almost ir
resistible form, that he ought to go and
look at the pig, but he had got no far
ther than the door. He had a great feel
ing of importance too. He had never
been left alone for so long before, and
the burden of responsibility pleased
him. He had also a vqgne idea that
something was going to happen, because
two days before his grandfather hud
written a letter. The letter had cost
old Nat half a day's work, and he had
used a whole penny packet of stationery
over it
. As it grew darker Natty began to
feel a little afraid. He would have left
the high stool if the dignity derived
from his exalted position had not bal
anced the fact that his bare feet did not
touch the ground. He was very proud
of the stool. No other boy he knew had
one like it, and although it was ex
tremely inconvenient he often insisted
upon eating his meals at that distin
guished altitude.
From time to time he glanced furtive
ly around the cabin. Old Nat's bed,
narrow and dark, set against the wall
like a ship's berth, had a sinister look
in that ambiguous twilight. Even Nat
ty's own little crib, which consisted of
a deal platform raised a foot from the
floor, with a mattress on the top of it,
looked unfamiliar. The peats on tho
open hearth burned dimly, the chairs
ceemed to have doubled in bulk sinoe
the sunshine faded, the rough wood ta
ble loomed large and grim. After every
furtive survey the boy brought his eyes
back to the gray square of the window
with a little shivering gasp. It occurred
to him to light the lamp, but as that
was an office be had never performed,
it being beyond bis years, he felt him
self unequal to the task. Besides, that
would mean trotting over the floor, and
m the darkness nis bare teet mignt
touch something horribla
But all at once he grew quite brave
again, lor be neara tne souna oi foot
steps coming slowly up the mountain
pathway. It was too dark to see who it
was, but, of course, it must be old Nat,
and Natty promptly began to wonder
what the "some thin swate" might be
that was at that moment doubtless get
ting warm and sticky in his grandfa
ther's pocket. He climbed down from
his stool and pattered softly over the
hard earth floor to the door. The f oot
ptep3 pansed and there was a knock.
Natty 's heart went down into bis
plump toes. He was so terrified that be
oonld not move to raise the latcS. The
knock was not repeated, but the door
was softly opened, and Natty saw a dim
head thrust in.
"Is Nat Byrne at home?" asked a
yoice.
"Plase, sorr, no I" gasped Natty.
" Whin'H he be back, an who are you
at all?"
He'll be back, bctt, this minute an
plase, I'm Natty. " The stranger came
In and closed the door. He peered curi
ously around the room.
An who is Natty? Where are yo at
all?"
"Here," said Natty.
"Is it down there ye are? Well, well!
Have ye a light? Sure a cat couldn't see
in tbe like ay this!"
Natty, somewhat reassured, set a
small lamp on the table and carried a
box of matches to his visitor.
"Will ye light it, sorr? I don't know
the way av ltl"
The matches were taken from his
tiand, and presently, to the boy 'a re
lieved eyes, the familiar cabin shone be
fore him again. He was afraid no lon
ger. The idea of a thief never occurred
to h'im, and if it had, so far aa Natty
knew, there waa nothing to steal.
"Sitdownreorr,"he8aid, "in the lit.

of Jehoiakim. the word of bod has Deen
am that when the book was
about to be rvad to the king some advised
them to hide so that they could ' not be
found, and now we learn that in their
hiding they were guided by God. Elijah
was so securely hidden by God that he
could not be found by Ahab in any nation
or kingdom (I Kings xvii, 3; xviii, 10).
There is a rock, the Rock of -Ages, in
whom we may so securely hide that no
evil can befall us (Ex. xxxiii, 23; Isa. ii,
10; xxvi, 4, margin). The life of all who
truly receive Christ as their Saviour Is
said to be hid with Christ in God, for He
is our life (Col. iii, 3, 4).

Ps. cxis, 89, "Forever, O Lord, Thy word
is settled in heaven." On my way home
from India last year it was my privilege
while spending a few days in London to
rejoice in some blessediellowship with my
dear brother in the Lord, Rev. John Wil
kinson, author of that wonderful book,
"Israel Sly Glory. " I found him one day
greatly rejoicing in Ps. cxix, 89, on which
he expatiated somewhat after this fashion :
"Just think of what we have here! What
Is settled? Thy word. Where is it settled?
In heaven. For how long is it settled?
Forever. Whose word is it? Thine, O
Lord ! Let the enemies throw out Jonah
and his book, and Daniel and "his book,
and whatever they do not like, they can
no more destroy the word of God thai?
Jehoiakim could destroy the words of Jere
miah's roll. When we reach heaven, we
shall find Jonah and his bock and Daniel
and his book and all the word of God for
ever settled there. ' '
29. "The king of Babylon shall certain
ly come and destroy this land and shall
cause to cease from thence jnan and beast. "
These were some of the words in the roll
which Jehoiakim burned which caused
him to hate it and burn it. Jonah was a
wondrous type of our Lord" in His death
and resurrection, and this the great truth
which satan hates and may be one reason
why he would if possible set aside the book
of Jonah. In Daniel perhaps more than In
any other book in the Bible the importance
of the wisdom of this world to understand
the things of God is made manifest, and
for that reason, among others, the book oi
Daniel is disliked. Revelation tells of the
devil's downfall and final doom and there
fore he would like you not to read that
book
SO. 31. "Therefore thus saith the Lord
of Jehoiakim, king of Judah." Then fol
lows a statement of what would come upon
him personally for this sin, but he would
not hearken In chapter xxn, iv, is was
written that he should be buried with the
burial of an ass. God is not willing that
any should perish, has no pleasure In the
death of the wicked, but If In spite of all
His warnings -and entreaties the wicked
will persist In his wickedness he .is some
times given up so to do (H Pet. iii, 9;
Ezek. xxxiii, 1H Dept. xxviil, 15)
82. "Another roll was given by Jere
miah to Baruch the scribe, and from the
mouth of Jeremiah he wrote all the words
that were in the former roll, with tbe ad
dition of many like words. This suggest
to us that all efforts to destroy the word
bought in order to be burned, but the
money thus obtained produced a largei
dltion. ,

"So ye're Tom 'a and Biddy's boy?"
"I am that," said Natty.
-An pretty pair they was," mui-

mured tbe stranger. He was a httl I
narrow cheated man, dreoed la what (
seemed a 8onday rait of maty black, t
His jaw waa square; tbe II pa were thin
and parsed ; a pair of small black eye
glinted above wrinkled cheek; tbe hair
was close cropped around his tmllet
bead. The bqy decided (hat he didn't
like, him mnch.
"How ould are ye?" the man asked.
"Siven," raid Natty.
"Is it so long?" said tbe other. After
a long silence Natty arose suddenly to
the responsibility of his position.
"Are ye hungry, sorr?" be asked.
"I am dead hungry." The boy
brought the remains of the bread and
butter from the cap board ; also a bowl
of milk.
"Grandad." he explained, "will may
be bring somethin betthex. Was be ex
pectin ye at all, sorr?"
"He was, for he sint me a lettber."
"Thin it was ye the lettber wlnt to?"
"It kem to me anyway I" Natty was
disappointed. TL& bad ragnely aatf i

letter.
"He wouldn't expect me tonight,"
tbe other explained. " "Twas tomorrer
mornin I should have come, bat I had a
slack day, worse luck, an used it this
way. " The boy nodded. Then be asked,
"Are ye one av mine?"
"Wha do ye mane?"
" "Lations."
"To be sure I am yer cousin. Did
ye niver hear av me?"
"What name have ye, torr?"
"Me name," said the little man.
with crackling dignity, "is Timothy
Daly."
"Thin ye're Cousin Tim?"
"Iam." There was another pause, in
which Natty began to feel some slight
natural drawings toward the new rela
tion, and with them came a renewed
sense of his duty as host
"Are ye tired. Cousin Tim?" he ask
ed. "Dog tired, boy."
"Thin ye might sit in grandad's
chair. 'Tig fine an aigy." Daly made
the exchange of seats without speaking.
He was, in fact, very tired indeed and
not overpleaeed at old Byrne's myite
rious summons. The men had not met
for six years, and there had ben no
love loet between them at any timet
Daly was a well to do, hard beaded
man to whom poor relations were as the
dregs in his cup of fortune, but he nev
er denied the bond of blood if be some
times disregarded i ts claims.
"Do thim boots hurt ye?" Natty in
quired, curling up bis own naked tor.
"They do," said Daly, "an I'rs
walked twilve mile in 'em."
"Tek 'em aff," said Natty. "Wait."
be added, jumping coce more from hit
stool. "I'll do it fur ye. Counin Tim."
He was down on bis knees before Daly
bad time to say a word, and whether
it was the simple kindness of tbe action
or tbe tight of the curly bent head ot
tbe unfamiliar touch of little fingers 1
cannot say, but the man was struck
home.
" Ach, but it's a good boy ye are, " h
said, petting Natty's cheek.
"Boots." said Natty, speaking from
an Infinitesimal experiences "is terrible
tirin to the fate. There, Cousin Tim,
now I'll sthir up the fire an put on an
other pate."
This being accomplished. Natty again
perched himself on bis stooL Daly
watched him with blinking eye. Th
keen mountain air bad made him f leepv,
and a feeling of drowsy kindliness crept
over him. He nodded now and then,
awakening with a jerk, and always to
find Natty's benign gase fixed upon him.
"Goto 8lape,"said Natty, "an I'll
wake ye whin grandad comes." Daly
smiled and settled back in his chair. In
a moment he waa wlcep. It seemod to
the boy that Cousin Tim' head must
be uncomfortable against the hard wood,
so be got his own small pillow, which
had a chronic dusky hoe, and settled it
under the man's wiry hair. Daly smiled
again feebly, but without opening his
eyea
Half an bour after this Natty beard
other footsteps. He held up a warning
finger as Nat entered and pointed to the
sleeping visitor.
" 'Tis Tim. sure, " murmured the old
man.
"He's slapin." whispered Natty.
Nat set down the great basket he waa
carrying cautiously upon the tsbls and
examined Tim Daly with the closest at
tention. Tbe survey did not appear to
please him particularly.
"Jist the same," he said. "Diril a
change a black, bard man, God help
'iml" There was a strsnge glitter in
the old man's red rimmed eyes, a look
in which anger and triumph contended,
but the latter won. He had tbe marks
of a hard life upon his faoe and body,
deep lines, bent shoulders, knotted and
clumsy hands. His feel dragged as b
moved, all tbe spring bad leng since
left his joints; yet be carried himself
with a certain open dignity. Ragged
gray hair fell round a fsoe sharply
eager and aquiline.
The first thing be did was to take a
bag of sweets from bis pocket These
were transferred to Natty, who imme
diately fell to a contented munching of
them. Tbed he unpacked tbe basket and
revealed to tbe boy s astonltbed gase
luxuries which be bad only dreamed of
or seen in shop windows at Carmore a
tin of salmon, a pot of jam, thre loaves
of white bread, a cake in silver faper
and a bottle of wine. Nat bad hesitated
long over tbe wine, bat he bad con
vinced himself that It was the proper
thing, and so at last bad bought it All
these viands were set forth upon tbe ta
ble, and Nat fell back to admire the ef
fect " "Tis shplendid," said Natty.
. "Ye may say that, indadel Tbls'l! be

"Is we to ate thim things?" asked tbe
