Joash was now thirty year old. Some
years had elapsed 'since he first gave

allele and he was zealous for its hon-
or. Ile signalized his 'otherwise orclin-
ary career by laying this matter much
to heart and taking it thoroughly .in
hand. He counseled jehola,da. He le -
cited the hesitating priests. He called
eorth the energy of the people. • He
would not let any slackness, on the
part of those who ahould have been
eager and diligent, constitute any
serious litndrance. Tlie project was be-
coming and right, It Was Judali's dt3ty
to protect and preserve the temple. It.
had suffered mutilation at the lutnas
of Athalialt in order to construct the
temple of Baal. Joash gave ample time
for the successful working of his first
plan which was proposed at the begin-
ning of his reign. The general IndIffer-
ence to the old Jewish system of wor-
ship, due to the corruption of idolatry,
caused mueh lethargy on the part of
the people, which, could be broken
up only by some extraordinary meth-
od, There was widespread dissastifac-
tion With the course pursued by the
Priests, Having abandoned the first
Plan, the king quickly unfolded his. se-
cond one, which was as simple as it
was effective. The persistent and suc-
cessful efforts of Atoll to accomplish
an object which was for the honor of
true religion and which had not en-
gaged the co-operation of the priest-
hood proved hIne worthy of tree cent-.
mendation. Royal proclamation was
made of the new plan throughout tbe
land. In ordaining that the temple
should be repaired, Joach directed
how the funds for the work Were to
be obtained, The 'unique plan of using
a chest was an edventage to the
priests as well as to the people: It put
the order, as a whole, above suspicion
and reproach. Every piece of money
was strictly accounted for. The expen-
diture was as noteworthy as the gath-
ering, Following up the precautions to
inspire confidence, was the appoint-
,
ment Of men to superintend the work,
who could be lieirtitOtly trusted. His
plans of gathering and expending the
money set Joash in a faVergale light.
He should have full credit for th gne
luminous work of hie whole reign, the
repair of the temple. It afforde las
markable instance of the cheerful giv-
ing of a voluntary offering,

Heredity did much against the ferrite -
lion of a strong character in. .Thaeli,
His environment Was his strong up-
lift. He had godly instruction. He bad
a good counselor. He had an excellent*
opportunity. He was the creature of
Providence, the child of divine care
and watchful love. The beginning of
his life was conspicuous for the great-
ness and worthiness of its zeal. He
enjoyed the sustaining help Of the
best and most faithful of Mende in
the godly priest Jehoiada. To. him he
owed his life in his infancy. To him
he owed WS instruction in boyhood.
To him he was indebted An Cannel in
his manhood, Jeholatia euetalited the
hand of Joash in his work of repairing
the temple. He did much to 'Maintain
the worship of God Or the land against
all eeactionary influences, whether at
court or among the princes or with the
people, Pew men have renaered such
distinguished eervice to their cuntrY
as did Jehoiatla. It required no small
heroism to stand forth as a servant of
Jehovah in the days of Ahazlith .and
Athaliale To him the nation owed the
preservation of It king, its throne, its
religion and its temple, He was the
man best fitted to occupy the throne
of Juddah and therefore the best fitted
to direct the boy king whose life he
had guarded to the end, that he might
perpetuate the family of David upon
the throne of Judah. Jeholada furnieli-
ed an example of influence exercised
for good. He possessed three elemehts
of success-eower arising from his
priestly office, piety, which gave him
the principles on whin to discharge

Joffre's Visit to Eti‘giand Resulted Also in
General Working Agreement.
British Porces Were in Battle in Serbia.
lirench Dthat Bulgars.
London, Nov. 1. -The Times as-
serts that General joffre's visit to
London primarily concerned a dis-
cussion of the problems connected
with the Balkan situation, and
that in that respect he did valuable
work,
A complete and definite under-
standing, both as to the broad out-
lines of the military policy and de-
tails, says the Times, was reached,
the precise character of which; of
course, remains a secret.
It may be said, however," the
paper continues, "that the British
and French Governments are
working' in full accord, and are
now agreed upott the main prin-
ciples of their joint policy in the
Balkans, and the necessity, of giv-
ing rapid help to the gallant
Serbian army, which will be kept
constantly in the forefront."
The Times expresses the hope
that General Joffre will pay fur-
ther visits to England, as the rec-
ent one had resulted in strengthen-
ing the sense of touch between the
two armies, and given promise of
closer co-ordination. '

ordered the servants not to return
until 8 o'clock, saying that F1114 ex-
pected the Prince at 5. The Prince,
arriving, ordered his chauffeur to re-

With the porter he hurried into the

"Fetch it locksmith; the keys are miss-
