FAMILY REUNION - Forty-seven prominent Ameri cans recently ,,: wired President Dwight D. Eisenhower and asked that he take "immediate steps" to . get the United States out of the dangerous situation In the Formosa Strait by a clear-cut declaration of policy. That declaration, they said, shoulc) include a decision not to-get , involved in a war over the off shore Islands. . Among those appealing to Mr. Eisenhower were Mrs. Franklin D. ' Roosevelt, Elmer Davis, Norman Thomas,' W. P. Kennedy, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, Benjamin Cohen, former State Department Advisor, several Harvard Professors, and many oth- era." They contend that the dis- : put 4 over the offshore islands is a confused one,, which should pot be considered a possible cause for war by the United States government, v Ajnong other : things; their plea Incllded this statement: "We sub mitjthat the islands over which this thrott arises are inseparable from the mainland by reason of their situation and, - as . you observed some months ago, not essenial for the defenseof Formosa and the Pescadores." vThe group asked the President to submit the problem to the United Nations, as had Ad lal Stevenson earlier, and as have several other, prominent "Arileri-. . cans. . )' The family Of Mrs. R.

Lesson Text: II Chronicles 30:1-13. , ' 25S$v---' .1 V; Ahas,r the father of Heiekiah, was a very disastrous king or , the people of Judah. .He ,waa a wpr shiper . of idols., and. practiced, the abomjnation oft child sacrifice, bf-' fering some of his own children to Molech. In foreign policy,' he made himself a vassal and subservient to the-; Assyrians, thereby hoping to luy their favor.-",. , , ; ;. ) x- ' Reasoning ' that the Assyrian gods must be greater than hjs God because the !A6syriah. king had proved himself to be stronger than Ahaz, so Ahaa had the Temple doors permanently closed and 'or dered altars to the Assyrian gods erected in various spots all over the city of Jerusalem and in other cities of Judah, , 'J It. is not surprising, then, "that the condition of the .country grew steadily worse under this . wicked king both religiously and econom ically. , '' '. ' - As we rend the record concern ing Hezekiah, the son of Ahuz we cannot help but wonder how such an evil father happened. to have such a godly son. After stating the young king's age and parent age, the historian then makes this comment: "He did that which Was right in the sight of the Lord, ac cording, to all that David his fa ther fforefather) had' dime."., IIS Chronicles 29:2). . Hezekiah is rated as one of the best rulers Judah ever had.' In fact, he is placed at the top of the list of kings. He instituted many reforms, and during his reign both prosperity and happiness seemed to return. Undisturbed by the con flicting ambitions of neighboring nations, Hezekiah refused td jeop ardize th,e safety and happiness pf his people by using them as: pawns in the international diplomacy of his day. Trustful in nature him self, he trusted in the God of Isra el to protect his people. The records- show that his period of gov ernment was unusually successful. Observing the evil effects which followed the drifting away , from Jehovah, Hezekiah early set 'about to' bring a return to the ancient worship of Jehovah. . Not was Tie content to confine bin ' influence Ao the inhabitants of Judah alone, but, irt an invitation which he sent out for the observance of the Passover, he included the people of the North ern Kingdom, as weH. , - . Since the division which follow ed Solomon's death, the Northern tribes had remained separate and, in the beginning,' had made an ef fort, to set up a , rival, worship to, that at Jerusalem. In the nrocesa of time, this substitute had failed and , Hezekiah saw an opportunity not only to restore religious unity but, perhaps also, to bring about racial cooperation as well. : r" There is some question as to the exact time of this ' invitation by Hezekiah, some thinking it follow ed one of the 'Assyrian invasions, while 'others think it came - after the capture of the North Kingdom.-! The reference in' verse 6 to "the remnant" seems to indicate the lat ter. The "response to Hezekiah's decis ion to reinstate the observance of the Passover, one f the three great festivities of the Jews, dif fered considerably in the two king doms. The inhabitants of Israel received his message with uncon cern and some ridicule, although when the celebration finally took place at Jerusalem, there were a number; of visitors ' from ' these tribes present'' , ' ' 'c ') ' i In Judah, however, the response was much more favorable and, as a result of the Initiative 'of the good king, plans and" preparations for the Yenewal ef this festival pro ceeded rapidly Owing to the shortness' of time,' the observance could not take place in, the month specified, but, acting upon a liber-, al provision of the Mosaic Haw, t was observed one month later. i The celebration itself was a great .success, so much so that it was spontaneously extended to fourteen days instead of the . usual seven. It marked the;rebirtK of religious leal in Judah, which, notwithstand ing subsequent relapses, resulted In great : good to the inhabitants.
