he did not tell the king that it was
the book of the law; he spoke ot it
as a . book and allowed the king to
form Isis own opinion as to its import-
ance. Read it before the king -
King Josiah gave Sheehan directions
to read it to him, for he was eager to
know the contents of the book. The
scarcity of books gave great value to
those that existed. The only way of
producing copies was by the slow pro-
cess of copying by hand. 19. He rent
his clothes -The rending of his seeth-
ing was an Oriental expression of
grief., Josiah rent his clothes he-
eause the grief over the sins of the na-
tion and because of the calamities
which the words' read declared should
follow such sins. There must have
been .copies of the book -of the law in
existence but the king had /lever be-
Tore- heard •these momentous words.
The king was honest and fully he ear-
nest to serve the Lord personally and
to bring his people to obey an.d wor-
ship him. When the law was reedit)
him, new light 'ettme, and he accepted
it as from the'Lord. He did not
ehrink from any responsibility that it
would bring upon him. 20. 21. A dele-
gation of men of standing and author-
ity was at once' coraressioned to learn
more definitely the import of the
words read from the book of the law.
They understood that they were to
seek from a prophet of the Lord an
interpretation of these words. Josiab
appears to have extended. his interest
In God's people, not to Sudah only,
but to all that remained of the twelve
tribes of.Israe. He realized that the
condition of Judah and Israel Was un-
favorable and even distressing because
of the past sins of the nations. 'In
his words, "our fathers," he ,probably
refers to Manasseh and Amon. In the
light of the book of the law he be-
lieved that greater calamities were
just ahead. It wag important that
the full facts should be known that
steps might be undertaken te turn
.aside the calamities that were ail but
nada to fall upon Judah.
v*Xfl. Huldelas prophecy (vs. 22-28.)
The king's messengers 'went at meetly
the prophetess Huidah. We know
nothing of her aside from what is re-
corded here and in the account given
in 2 Kings 22; 14-20. It is clear that
the was a true prophet of the Lord.
4'This short narrative has immortal-
ized her name . Probably the two
prophets, Jeremiah and Zephaniah,
were absent from the city. But God
la riot straightened in his instruments.
Ho can use a woman to speak for him
as well as a -men, a humble person as
wed as an exalted, one. Huldali had
the full prophetoc gift, and spoke as
boldly, confidently and promptly as
Weald Isaiah or Jeremiah."-Whedon.
The word given to the king by Huidah
was not reassuring for the nation.
Calamity was not far meet', Yet Josiah,
because of his having fully turned to
the Lord, would not see the desolation
of the nation, but would die in peace.

execution of his purpose it was found,

the contents or the book for himeela
Shaphan lost no thne in bringing it
ender the notice of the king. He used
(etre in doing so, not 'knowing how the
king would receive the ancient mes-
sage, which centained strong denun-
ciations and terriele threatening. The
effect proillesia wait profound. Jost-
ab's honest efforts toward reformation
were rewarded by a clearer knowledge
of God's will, The book of the law
was found just in time to give a new
impetus to the retorts). movement. The
Young king was quick to 509 its int-
pcirtance. It enlarged his conception
of duty. It revattled tb.e intensity of
the nation's sins. Josiah learned for,
the first time what direful woes were
predicted on thoth who should com-
mit such sins. He saw the enormity
of the nation's evil as be had never
before realized it. He included him-
self in the generat condemnation. He
sought to know what means should
ne adoptee to reawee the curse whien
the sins of generations had brought
upon the nation. He recognized the
necessity. as well as, the propriety of
consulting God through his appointed
rneane of eortifinenication. Thongk
the temple and the •land had been
purged, Josiah was uncertain whether
the curse pronounced against itloletry
might not still overtake them. He die
not dispute the justice of God's
threatening's, but acknowledged that
he was righteous and the people wick,
ed. Huldah, the prophetess, had lit-
tle to give in the way of comfort, but
:tether centirmed the threatoninge.
The book centained instructions and
admoilitioas which, it duly heeded,
would assure abiding peace arid hon-
or to the inhabitants of Judah. Con-
cerning thecity and temple there was
eentance of doom., concerning the
Icing a menage of peace.
II. The guide to righteousness. Jos-
iah felt that a great act of national
repentance and national profeselon of
faith was called for. The assembling
at the house of God and the solemn
reading of 'God's word made a deep
impression upon the people. The king,
the court, the elders, the rulers and
the people felt its power. The utmoet
possible honor was shown to it by
having it read by the king to the Imo -
1e. That solemn assembly of all the
people in the Lotd's house was- a na-
tional movement. They were entering
upon their final covenant. Public life
was affected. The power of God was
felt. Men put away their idols and
came back to the faith of their fath-
ers. The ultimate standard of duty for
king and people was to be the words
of the book. They were publicly recit-
ed, proclaimed and declared to be the
basis of the national life, the law of
the community. The obedience re-
quired by Josiah and promised by the
people Was earnest and sincere. The
king was the federal head ot the sea -
tion and in. pledging himself to keep
the covenant he performed a represen-
tative act, He pledged the elation as
a, whole to the acceptance and perfor-
mance of the covenant. He pledged the
representative's of the nation to con-
tinue in the service of Jehovah. He
took away the standing temptation
from the path of the people. While
making obedience easier, the tense of
obligation was stronger. With the re-
aPPearance of the book of the law the
religious epirit of the nation recover-
ed itself. The people pledged them-
selves with a sincerity that was for
the time unfeigned, thus renewing
their relation with God arid again be-
coming Ms people. Josiah undertook
hie work with new inepiration, for he
felt the Lord was with him. He was
supernaturally strengthened in hie
great task of reformation. The men

If Hhlktali had not been setting things

forms. It led to repentance and refor-
mation, The history of that age illus-
trates the difference between having

during the final stages of the war, are
viewed here at tile front with keen

Without aeroplane observation no
army henceforth dare take, or at-

During the past two weeks of rainy
and misty weather, it is not too much
to say that the activities of millions
of men were greatly hampered, and
their efforts to get on with the war
frustrated by clouds that prevented
a few hundred airmen irom making

plane is not only a necessity for the
intelligence and artillery services, but
is being used with over -increasing re-

Foe is Weakened,
-.London Cable, -The Italian War
Office announces patrol fighting
along the whole front yesterday from
the Trentino down the Isonzo and
across the . Carso Plateau, the army
everywhere leaving dead on the field
and prisonees itt the hands of Gen.
Cadorna's troops. Taken in conjunc-
tion with the recent heavy flights of
Italian air squadrons, this unusual
activity almost certainly foreshadows
an immediate offensive to relieve
Teutonic pressure on tho retreating
and disorganized Russians.
It is believed there have been re-
cent withdrawals of Austrian units
from the Hahne front, first to meet
the sudden Russian c ffeneive in
.eleutheastern Galicia early in July
and then to exteua the Teutonic vic?
tory. But evea if not wcalcened the
Austrian forces have been regrouped,
and the bulk of the army disposed
along the Isonzo and the Carso, where
the developing volume of the Italian
artillery fire, commented on by both
Rome and Vienna, indicate that Cad.
orna is preparing a new blow. It Is
believed the Austrians hold the first
righting zone lightly, depending on a
concentration of: artillery to check
Ute Italians, and massing their re-
serves in the rear.
Meanwhile, Cadornit's air raiders
have been busy for a fortnight har-
assing the enemy's lines of commute -
retiree and bombing his bases, especi-
ally near Toimino, Oen the middle
Isonzo and towards the Adriatic Sea
coast.

munication issued by the Italian War
Office to -night reads:
"Along the whole front yesterday
the fighting was somewhat brisk.
Two attaelts were attempted by the
enemy yesterday at dawn on our po-
sitions in the Coalbe Valley of Bren-
ta, and north of Caterina in the
Gorizia sector. The attacks broke up,
under our fire. The enemy storming
parties were almost annihilated and
the survivors, amounting to about
twenty men, were made prisoner by
our patrols, witich had pushed for-
ward in pursuit.
"On Wednesday night several large
flights of our bombing planes re-
newed their attack on the military
esteblishment 'of Pole. Favored by
good light, our airmen effectively
bombed the arsenal and the enemy's
fleet at anchor. Our bombing planes
dropped eight tons of high explosives
on their objective. They 'then
escaped from a heavy anti -craft fire
and repulsed the enemy seaplanes
which arose to oppose them. All of
our machines returned safely to their

Times:
ing under my signature: The editor
of the Times will remember conversa-
tions with me upon the origia of the
war during my visit to London In the
Second half of July, 1914, I thee said
I had known for months that Austria
desired war at. all costs, and wrote
for the Times an article to this effect.
While in Loudon I saw the German
Ambassador almost daily, sometimes
ttyleo daily. I am In a position to
know that the ultimatum to Serbia
was known to and approved by Bere-
lin, and that Heir von Thchirchky
took part in drafting it, that he be-
lieved Serbia could not accept, and
that the Austro -Germans feared lest
she should accept in spite of all.
"Prince Lichnowsky, who person.
ally desired peace, asked me ott the
eve of the presentation ot the ultt-
matum to Belgrade, to telegraph Pre*
mike Pashiteli advising him to accept
the ultimatum and to promise him on
behalf of Prince Lichnowsky that the
hard conditions of the ultimatum
would be modified in application.
"I affirm that Prince Lielinowsky,
who bad assured me In April, JOU,
that he was ceetatu England would
never permit Germany to attack
France, declared to me on Monday,
July 27, that he ho longer believed
England would ahatidon neutrality,
When I replied that he Was totally
mietaken, and that England would
never allow Prance to be crushed
Lichnowsky answered textttally, "I ale
not as 'certain as you are."
