Now we come to the last dra matic incident in the leason?the invasion of Judah by the Moab ites and Ammonites. Jehoehaphat gathered his people together, "all Judah, with their little ones, their wives and their children," at Jerusalem and prayed fervently to the Lord to help them. To the prophet Jahaziel came the spirit of the Lord saying that Judah need not be afraid; they need not fight a battle, "Stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah." The king bowed his head to the ground and all his people did likewise, and worshipped. Early next morn ing they went forth into the wil derness to meet the enemy. Jehoshaphat consulted with his people and then appointed sing ers who would sing of the beauty of holiness and praise the Lead for His goodness. The singers went out before the army and be gan to sing. The Lord caused the inhabitants of Selr to ambush the MoaMtee and Ammonites, and they were utterly destroyed, so that from the watch tower Judah could see nothing but bodies of the dead. Then indeed did Jsdah prstse the Lord, pouring into Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets to thank Him for His mercies.

Across bright blue water her miniature sails will billow clean and white, and into the eyes of these two will steal a new light of pleasure. There has been guidance in the making of this boat, the loving guidance of one who has weathered life's storms and gained from them the comfort of experience. And the boy, sensing this experience, is happy in a childlike confidence that this ship .., this wonderful ship I ... can never sink. It may be that on some brave voyage the little boat will meet dis * aster, and this lad will learn that material possessions so seldom last. He is also learning to find faith in a ship that is unsinkable. That ship is the Church ... and it will carry him through calm seas and storms throughout the voyage of life. Every child should learn early to J anchor his life to the Church. * THE CHURCH FOR ALL .. . ALL FOR THE CHURCH . The Church is the greatest (actor on earth (or the building of character and good citizenship. - It is a storehouse of spiritual values Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization - can survive. There are lour sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly ? and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the "" sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral ?*" and material support. Plan to go to church regu larly and read your Bible daily.
