Golden Text.—Seek ye first his kingdom, and his rig+1 teousness. Matt. 6:33. TJ -IE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Tinte.—Jclhoshaphat was born in 908 B.C.; he ascended the throne at the age of thirty-five in 873 13,C., and died in 849 B.C. Place. --Principally the city of Jerusalem. Prosperity of Jehoshaphat'. Reign 1-2. And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strength- ened himself against Israel. And he placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim; which Asa his father had taken. Jehoshaphat as- cended the throne of Judah upon the death of his father, in 873 B.C., at the age of thirty-five, and reigned for a quarter of a cen- tury. Jehoshaphat was fortunate in being the son of a father who had himself left the kingdom of Judah stronger than he found it, just as many sons come into a large inheritance or fall heir to a well-established business because of the faithfulness and wisdom and energy of a good father. Jehos- haphat was an ideal son to sit up- on the throne of Judah in that he determined to carry on the com- mendable work that engaged his father's attention during his reign. Jehoshaphat was wise enough to know that a nation's permanent security and true wel- fare can rest only upon the solid rock of genuine religious convic- tions. 3-4. And Jehovah was with Je-, hoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David and sought not unto the Baalim. But sought to the God of his fa- ther, and walked in his command- ments, and not after the doings of Israel. His father's previous life eras an incentive to Jehoshaphat to follow the,God who alone could redeem .and bless, hie people; no doubt there was a Ionging.le,. hie.,... vouna , man's. heart fol.- true . righteousness, fii'st in'his own life, end then in the lives of his peo- pie. On the other hand, the idola- • trolls practices of the Israelites to the north and the constant pres- sure of multitudes of people, who found it much easier to yields to the desires of the flesh than to fol- low, the Lord, to offer the shallow worship which was sufficient when bowing down before dead idols than to bring to an all -wise and holy God a true spirit of convic- tion onvicttion and a desire to do his will, would tend to draw him away from his holy resolves. 5-f'. Therefore Jehovah estab- lished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehosha- phat tribute; and he had riches and honor in abundance. And his heart was lifted up in the ways of Jehovah. Religious Revival Under Jehoshaphat As Jehoshaphat proceeded to cleanse the land of Judah of its idols and groves where pagan practices were carried on, he came to realize that the destruction of these iniquitous devices was not enough. The people's hearts needed changing. Unless light came into 'their souls, and they saw Jehovah as the only true and living God, -they would •sooner or later go back to the same prac- tices. and again make images like Auto those that he had destroyed. So the king with greatest wisdom undertook a vast program of re- ligions teaching throughout all the cities of his kingdom. He sent forth 14 men to teach the people. P. And they taught in Judah, having the book of the law of Je- hovab with them; and they went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught among t7' e peo- ple.. Jehoshaphat did not think it enough to leave things to be done by existing institutions. Like a wise and an cornest man, he cast about for ad'ifitional methods, he looked in all directions for compe- tent men to extend Ms pinus pur- pose, t.0-11-12. And the fear of Je- hovah fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about :Judah, so that they, made no war against Jehoshaphat. And some of the Philistines brought Jehosha- • phat presents, and silver tribute; the Arabians also brought him flocks, seven thousttnd and seven hundred rains, and seven thousand and seven hundred he goats. And rehcghaphat waxed great exceed- iligly.' And he built in Judah eas- ties and cities of store. Thus the promise of 04od Rosie's Fourth Fit of Temper Rosie, bad actor of the elephant troupe in the Ringling Bros. circus touring eastern Canada recently, didn't like the tasks assigned to her when the big tent was being pitched in Toronto. She seized an attendant in her trunk, tossed hire to the ground and inured him so badly that he was rushed to hospital for attention. This picture, taken just as the pachyderm's temper flared, shows keepers driving back Rosie while the injured man crawls to safety (arrow). According to reports this is Rosie's fourth fit of temper ending in injury to her keepers in the current season. Youth Camps Plan Rejected Federal Minister of Labor Rog- ers Gives Reasons For Turn- ing Down Idea of Corps As- sociation Hon. Norman McL. Rogers, Min- ister of Labor, listed nine reasons why the Federal Government re- jected the plan of the Canadian Corps Association to place 50,000 unemployed youths in vocational training camps similar to the C.C. C. camps in the United States, for a two-year period. Mr. Rogers said that the pro- hibitive cost,,. estimated at $50,- 000,000, was the primary reason for the rejection. In addition, the Federal Administration objected to the inference "regimentation" which night be drawn from such action, he said. The other reasons Mr. Rogers listed as: Opposition of labor and youth organizations; the detrimen- tal effect of the output of the camps on private industry; attrac- tion of youths from farms; inter- ference with defence plans; dupli- cation of existing vocational fac- ilities; the undesirability of re- moving young men from normal contact for two years, and clim- atic conditions preventing econo- mic pperation of the camps during Winteremenths. Dionne Home Plans Shelved Pending Solution of Legal Dif- ficulties—Would House The Quintuplets and Ail the Fam ily Silo is Needed Plans for a new home to house the Dionne quintuplets, their par- ents and their numerous brothers and sisters have been shelved, pending solution of the legal dif- ficulties between Oliva Dionne and Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe, their physic- ian. Dionne also has pending a suit in which he claims damages from Dafoe because the doctor joined the Saints and Sinners Club of New York as a "Doctor of Litters." The quintuplets' guardians are refraining for the first time in months from 'discussing plans for the new home. The plans, which have been the main subject for consideration at the meetings since they were first introduced, have ' been planed in the unfinished bus- iness. files until the litigation is settled. through Moses was fulfilled to them. Jehoshaphat's, power and goodness were expressed in peace end public works and buildings of greatness. He saw great benefit in an alliance with Israel rather than civil war. Accordingly, the old feud between the two king- doms was dropped and Jehosha- phat made peace with Israel and cemeted the political union by marrying his son Jehoram to Ath- aliah, the daughter of Ahab. For Dairy Herd Silage Supplies the Bulk Elem- ent In A Cow's Feed Silage is valuable for the dairy herd because it stimulates the ap- petite and practically everything. depends upon the dairy cow's ap- petite. It also furnishes the bulky element, which Is necessary in ev- cry ration. A cow cannot safely eat enough feed to make her flow of milk unless •she has a ration that Is bulky and furnishes her with material for rumination, Silage is an all year feed. It replaces the elements of pasture in Winter and it supplements pasture in Summer.; If the pasture dries up as is too often the case, silage •'des one over. If the cows are heavy, milk- ers silage can profitably be fed with good pasture for the variety of succulence encourages the cow to eat more. Canadian Cedar Camps England and Wales Utilize Canadian Wood Camps built of Canadian cedar, to be used for schools in peace- time and as refugee shelters in war -time, are under construction in England and Wales. The first will be completed by the end of August. The camps are being built in standardized units. All buildings are of Canadian cedar with cedar shingle woofs. Each camp will be laid out on the site by an archi- tect. Construction has begun on four camps. It is hoped that seven more will be started almost imme- diately. A normal snuff -taker will use about one ounce, costing from 25c to 50e, in a week. RADIO A N D NOTES By MADGE ARCHER Compromise Between Radio anis NBC, CBL, Information Please Screen Sometime in April news leaked out that great arguments were going on between the networks and the studios in Hollywood. The stu- dios claimed that people stayed home to listen to their screen fav- orites for nothing, rather than pay to see and hear them at flie thea- tres. The networks on the con- trary maintained that radio engage- ments were valuable advertising for the stars. The matter ended in a compromise. Had matters come to a show- down, there would have been plen- ty of fire -works. Cecil B. de Mille's Radio Theatre would have been pulled off the air; Likewise Good News. Programs like the Chase and Sanborn Hour and Bing Crosby's Hour would have had to fish elsewhere for their guests: And icing Crosby himself would probably have had to make the su- preme choice between being a star of the air or a star of the screen.
