The heathen chose high places for the worship ot their deities. Jerusalem was designed to be the true centre of worship.

It had been ueg- toted for years, aad had been Wok- en up by the sons a Athaliah, wee took from. it the sacred things and de- voted them to idolatrous uses (2 Citron, 24. 7)- e. The three and -twentieth year- Joash was now thirty year old. Some years had elapsed 'since he first gave meters to the priests ao collect ntoney and repair the temple, but the repairs had not been made. . -The amount col- lected was probably not large owing to the prevalenee of idolatry, and all that vas raised was used for the sup- port of the priests and the rnainten- tame of the temple fiervice.

The temple at Jerusalem had been the nursery ana sanctuary of Joash when a child in hiding from the crael Ate. 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, La The result at godly preparation. 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.

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. ' BRITISH FORCE ENGAGED, London, Nov. 1. -The British ex- peditionary force in Serbia received its baptism of fire on the Gievgeli- 'Miran front, where; according to a Times. despatch from Athens, it took part in the recent fighting.

BULGARS ROTA= VELE-4, Paris, Nov, 1. -The retaking of Veles, Serbia, by Bulgarian troops has been officially confirmed, accord- ing to a Haves despatch from Athens filed yeste 'day. Veles (Kuprulu) on the railroad 23 miles eoutheast of Uslcub, was fleet captured by the Bulgarians on Oct 24, but was retaken by tbe Serbians two days later, It is located on the Vardar river nad has a population of about 20,000, TliaNK SERBS IVIA,Y ESCAPE. Paris, Nov. 1.-A Havas despatch from Athens, filed yesterday, says: "it le reported from Constantin- ople that the first, division of 'furn- ish reservists, which has been en- gaged on the Gallipoli peninsula, has left for Bulgarian Thrace. '"flie,Bulgarian Government haa call- ed to the colors all exempts of the closes from 1895 to 1904; "Operations. in Serbia are developing as expected. The present plan of the Germans and Bulgarians is to cut off towards the south the line of retreat of the main Serbiau army of the north, The object of Serbian head- quarters is to conduct the retreat in good order to the armies' new line of defences, It is believed in Greek military circles that, while the posi- tion of the Serbian army is difficult, it is not desperate." A GLOOMY VIEW. Rome, Oct, 31, via, Paris, Nov, I. - Col. C. Acourt Repington, military correspondent of the London Times, declared itt an interview etven the Giornale Altana, that the situation of Serbia. is desperate. With her army completely isolated, he said, its only chance of safety is -to retire to the Adriatic coast, outside its own terra. tory. Once there, Italy could supply either military help or provide previa - ions and munitions. 'The expedition of the Allies from, Salonilci cannot arrive In time to sale Serbia, Col.
