The Lord is my helper, and I will
not fear what man do unto me.
(Heb. 13:6.)
many people really rely
Such reliance, as true
in Bible times had
in the eyes of the Lord his God.”
The people were always prone to
worship false Gods, and the young
King Asa “took away the altars of
the strange gods and the high places
and brake down the images,” and
th* n “commanded Judah to seek the
Lord God of their fathers, anl to
do the law and the commandment.”
The result of this relying upon

more than half a million men.
And about that time “there came
out against them Zerah the Eliiop-
ian with an host of a thousand
thousand”—an army of 1,000,000.
A million against half a million—
again the odds seemed very uneven.
But Asa, like his father, Abijah,
turned humbly and trustfully to
God. “Lord,” he prayed, “it is noth
ing with Thee to help, whether with
many, or with them that have no
power: help us O Lord our God;
in Thy
name we go against this multitude.
O Lord, Thou art our God;; let not

Again God won a
for his trusting and obedient people.
The Ethiopians were routed
overthrown, “that they could
recover themselves; for they were
destroyed before the Lord and be
fore His host.”
Then came a warning to
through one of God’s prophets,
r.ali. He assured Asa and
people that “The Lord is with
while ye be with Him; and
seek Him, he will be found of you;
but if ye forsake Him, He will for
sake you.” This is as true today
as it was then.
Asa responded in the right spirit,
led a fresh campaign against “the
abominable idols” there were still
found in the land, and exalted and
magnified God before his people, so
that there was a great religious rally
at Jerusalem in the fifteenth yea?
of his reign.
Nothing succeeds like success, and
people from several of the northern
tribes turned south to Asa and join
ed themselves to his kingdom.
Here is the key verse of this les
son. “And they entered into a con-
ve-nant to seek the Lord God of their
fathers with all their
with all their soul.”
only one result from that, for God
Himself, has made a promise con
cerning such people. Five centuries
earlier He said to Israel, through
Moses: “If thou shalt seek the Lord
thy God thou shalt find Him, if thou
seek Him with all thy heart and
with all thy soul” (Deut. 4:29.)
An old Scotch woman once told
her minister that she was earnestly
seeking God. “Then you’ll find Him’
was the reply, “for God is seeking
you. And where there’s two seeking
there’s sure to be a finding.”
Some people seem to be afraid of.
showing any emotion in connection
with their religion—their worship
of God and their fellowship with
Him. Why should we be willing to
give our emotions free play in all
else in life and not in the most im
portant matter of time and eternity
King Asa and his people now de
clared their new purpose of fidelity
to the Lord “with a loud voice, and
with shouting and trumpets, and
with cornets, And all Judah rejoic
ed.”
There will be music in heaven and
we may well use music here on earth
as we worship God.
There is a beautiful climax to
the lesson. Why did all Judah re
joice? Because “they had sworn
with all their heart, and sought Him
with their whole desire; and He was
found of them.”

Paul meant when he said, “I know
whom I have believed, and am per
suaded that He is able to keep that
which I have committed unto Him.”
(II Tim. 1:12.)
Two kings in this lesson relied on
God, and with remarkable results.
Abijah, king of Judah, -had an
army of 40(0,000. f-'-'-1-------
of Israel, came against him with an
army of 800,000 men. The

Jeroboam could not rely on

goldten calves, and he had scoutdee
God’s laws. Abijah humbly trusted
God and had been obeying God’s
laws. So he could say, to Jeroboam
and to his own peo-ple, “Behold, God
Himself is with us for our captain.”
It was no empty boast. God honored
Abijah’s trust, smote Jeroboam and
his army, led Abijah and his

“there fell down slain of Israel

■diren of Judah prevailed, because
they relied upon the Lord God of
their fathers.”
.Relying on God would be a good
practice for nations and individuals
in these troubled times today.
Abijah died, and his son Asa suc

PIONEER WOMAN OF
IDAHO PASSES AWAY
ItoThe following clipping refers
the death of Mrs. Maria. Caldwell,
whose early life was spent on the
Thames Road. An item referring to
Mrs. Caldwell’s 85th birthday ap
peared in our issue of May 24th.
About an hour before she passed
away, she received a letter from an
old schoolmate Mrs. Emma Bissett
Welsh, Winnipeg, Manitoba. She. re
membered her well and was delight
ed to hear from her as she had not
heard1 from her for 60 years.
• Mrs. Maria Caldwell, 85, who
came to Lewiston when it was a
town of a few hundred inhabitants
and witnessed its growth to a city
of commercial importance among
cities of the northwest, died June 1,
at the home of her son and daugh
ter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Sol .Cald
well, 41'5 Second avenue. Death was
caused by hardening of the arteries.
Born in Ontario in 1849, the
daughter of Michael and Elizabeth
Ruddy, she was educated in Canada
and at the age of 21 came to Lewis
ton with her parents, and her resi
dence in New Perce county since
was continuous excepting for sever
al winters she spent in California.
Husband Came in Sixties
Mrs. Caldwell’s husband, the late
William A. Caldwell, was among
the earliest settlers in Nez Perce
county. He came here in the early
sixties and, after spending a year
or so at mining in the newly dis
covered fields of central Idaho, re
turned, to Lewiston and at^one time
operated- a pack train to the mines
at Pierce. Their marriage occurred
in July, 1871, in Lewiston.
Mrs. Caldwell lived at Culdesac
before the town was established, her
'husband conducting a hotel there.
It was then known as Caldwell’s
stage station. Later her husband
acquired the original Craig donation
claim of 64'0' acres between Sweet
water and Jacques spur, now owned
by Henry Thiessen and famed as a
stock- ranch. There the family liv
ed for many years. She was closely
identified with the early history ano
development of Nez Percie county
and of Lewiston. After the sale of
the farm near Sweetwater,
Caldwell came here to make
home with her son .and sister,
Elizabeth White.
M.rs. Caldwell was the eldest of
six sisters and was the first one to
pass away.
(She survived by four sons, Sol.
