When a sixteen year old boy be

the King believed the Word of God.
Would that all Kings and rulers of
nations did so to-day, like Britain’s
King and young Josiah.
Did this reading of the Word of
God bring joy to the King? No; “he
rent his clothes.” We are reminded
that “by the law is the knowledge
of sin.” (Rom. 3:20.) For the law
of God told of the terrible punish
ments that would come upon Judah
and Isreal if they turned away from
doing the will of God, as they had
so persistently and rebelliou’sly done
The King sent for further light on
the solemn subject, and word came
back from Huldali, the prophetess,
that the Lord had told her to declare
two things: The nation, because it
had forsaken God and worshipped
other gods, must suffer the wrath of
God. But the young King, because
he had humbled himself before God
when he,'heard God’s words, was not
to see this punishment or experience
it, ;but should live and die in peace
before God’s judgment fell upon
the nation.
The climax of the chapter is seen
in what the King then did. Bringing
together the elders and representat
ives of the entire nation, “he read
in their ears all the words of the
book of the covenant that was found-
in the house of the Lord.” Further
more, he was not content with let
ting them merely hear God’s Word,
but he made sure that they should
“do it.” They were “doers of the
Word, and not hearers only,’ (James
1:22.)
The King pledged himself before
all his people, making a solemn cov
enant before the Lord, “to walk af
ter the Lord, and to keep His com
mandments, and His testimopies, and His statutes with all his hj&rt,
and with all his soul to perform the'
works of the covenant which are
written in the book.” And he made
his people covenant with him to do
the same.
It was not a spurt, a superficial
reformation. It lasted. To be sure,
Josiah died a young man, at thirty-
one, but “all his days they departed
not from following the Lord, the
God of their fathers.”
Here is an outline of the lesson:
.Seeking God early (verses 1-3) .
• Cleansing a Nation (3-7)
Honoring God’s House (8-13)
Finding’ God’s Word (14)
Believing God’s Word -(15-21)
God’s Justice and Mercy (2-2-28)
Leading a Nation in Righteousness
(29-33). ;
