LESSON FOR MAY 5th, 1929 Lesson Topic—What Hilkiah Found ha the Temple. Lesson (Passage ---2 Chron. 34:14- 16, 29-33, Golden Text—]Psalm 119:105. Josiah, King of Judah, son and successor of the murdered Amon, was put on the throne at the age of eight years, by the people who frustrated the designs of his father's murderers. Nothing is told us about the early history of the king in either Kings cr Chronicles, nor of the influences under which he grew up. In the twelfth year of his reign began his destruction of idolatry and in the eighteenth he began the repairing of the temple which was the great event of his whole reign. During the repairs the book of the law was found in the house of the Lord by Hilkiah the priest. He gave it to Shaphan the scribe who read it before the king. (The "book" was probably Deuterenomy; if it was the whole Pentateuch, then it must have taken at least ten hours to read it through aloud). The king was so much terrified by the "book" that he rent his clothes, and immediately sent Shaphan and three others to Huldah the prophetess to learn the will of the Lord. She replied that the Lord intended to punish the peo- ple for their long continued disobed- ience according to the warnings of the book; but in consequence of Jos- iah's ready and sincere humiliation, the strokes were to be delayed until after his death. The king gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem. the priests and the prophets, and all the people, and read to them the "book of the law," and with them entered into a solemn covenant to keep all its words. Then began a vigorous cleansing of the city and of the land of all traces of idolatry. The great vcrk of purification ended, the king returned to Jerusalem and celebrated the. passover so exactly according to the "book" that the sacred historian says, "Surely there was not holden such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah" (2 Kings 23:32). So Josiah's passover exceeded Hese- kiah's in pomp and solemnity, an ac- count of which is found in II Chron. 30.—Condensed from the Encylopaedia of Religious Knowledge.

Established in almost all the coup - tries of the globe, the "Army" has exerted a vast influence in the social uplift of peoples—in India no less than elsewhere. The present crisis in the affairs of the, organization was caused by the illness of General Bramwell Booth, a biographical art- icle on whom appeared in this paper last week. The Salvation Army at present have over 116 eindustrial homes for children besides a further 96 homes for those of tender years. Among women the army's work is shown by 39 maternity homes. In addition, it supplies a grand total of 11,000,000 beds in different lands every year and also the equally amazing number of 20,000,000 meals in the same period. Funds for the first twenty-five years were raised internally, but public recognition has since manifested itself abundantly in the well-known "Self Denial Week." The General now controls funds and assets to the tune of twenty million pounds sterling.—The Times of India.

Just who first brought the tulip to Europe is uncertain, and this -is a pity for a monument should be erect- ed in his honor, or at least one of the most gorgeous members of the family called after him. Some say that a German whose name has been long forgotten was the first to bring a tulip bulb from Turkey into Eur- ope in 1559. Others give the Credit to Charles I'Ecluse, a Frenchman who brought the 'bulbs at first to France and later into Holland. So it seems probable that Holland was not t theseth first European country to grow gorgeous flowers. But they could not have thrived in their original habitat as they have thriven in Holland where every condition favors their growth. Just as there is only one particular place in France where the grapes grow to perfection which will produce champagne, so in Holland the bulb - growing district is comparatively small and restricted. The stretch in question is from Leyden to Haarlem, a distance of 25 miles, pierced by canals and roads, which, as a rule, are higher than the land bearing the bulbs, so that the pedestrian may look down upon a scene of beauty which is unbroken for miles save for the can- als and the windmills. This bulb land is bordered on one side by the sand dunes which protea': it from the harsh winds of the North Sea and on the other by the so-called "polders" or land recovered from the watery marshes. The land itself wa once an immense swamp with a chai of lakes and very little bottom show ing above water. The diligence anI pertinacity of the Hollanders of other generations have turned it into one of the beauty spots of the world. The bulb fields are regular just as wheat fields are regular, for Hollanders grow bulbs on almost the wholesale scale in which we in Canada grow wheat. One may look for a mile in one direction and see nothing but tul- ips of a single color, or he may look in another direction and see nothing but hyacinths. Sometimes the bloom- ing seasons of these plants come at the same time and then to the beauty of both is added the exquisite perfume of the hyacinths. One of the best ways to see these fields is by electric tram. Nancy Mosher says in the Sprinfield Republican that all each seat in the tram is a little vase with blooming hyacinth or other perfumed bulbs to welcome the visitor. The tram will carry the tourist to the cen- tre of the bulb district or through it for that matter, but the best plan is to alight and walk half the way. Ev- en in the narrow district there are varieties of soil, for some years one part and sometimes another will have the best display. There is intense rivalry among the growers not only to produce the best bulbs but to have the best blooms at the time visitors are expected. We learnto our surprise that these hundreds of miles of bloom do not produce any flowers that are ever sold. It is true that the children will take discarded tulips, weave them in- to a rug and sell them for a few cop- per coins to motoring tourists who are frequently to be seen with the hoods of their cars thus decorated. But these flowers are being grown for the sake of the bulb. The size, and shape, and other qualities of the flower tell the grower just what kind of bulb he has, and how it should be graded when he offers it for sale af- ter the flowers have died and a bulb is ready for digging up. The themselves are regarded as fertilizer. The tulips are cut off close to the flower so that there is practically no stem left. The hyacinths are never cut, but stripped by hand. Miss Mosher gives it as the opinion of most experts that the Darwin tulips are the most desirable of all, and that of the Darwins, the Zulu, a rich bronze, almost black, and the Bouton d'Or, a glorious golden yellow are the best. But the golden days of bulb grow- ing are long in the past. Those who have read "The Black Tulip" will know all about that craze for bulbs which swept over Holland in the six- teenth and seventeenth centuries. The whole country seemed to yield to the infection and men speculated in tulip bulbs and seeds as their descendants might speculate in oil stocks. At the height of the boom one bulb sold for 5,500 florins, or more than $2,200 in our money. An Admiral S. Leifkens- hoch fetched 4,500 florins. So serious did the speculation become that the government in 1637 passed an order to the effect that all bulb contracts were null and void. Many people were ruined by this law, but the craze was ended, and thereafter the growing of bulbs was put on a more reasonable and business -like footing. To -day it is one of Holland's most important industries. ti)N F4SCI-1 Walters of famous Mason RRisch and Henry Herbert pianos in models to suit all needs, invite you to send the above coupon Today HEAD OFFICE, 230 YONGE STR]EIET, TORONTO.

Surprising- ly enough, that beauty was born in something that scarcely was beauti- ful; namely, the rage for garish biz- arre colorings. It is not uncommon to -day, according to color experts, to hear the remark that motor car fin- ishes have become more subdued. As a matter of fact, they have not. They are even more brilliant and daring to many cases, but instead of looking bizarre they have a pleasing richness and warmth. It is because the art of combining shades has been mastered and not that the more vigorous ones have been discarded. Looking back- ward one realizes that it was a pret- ty rococo parade that motordom view- ed a few years ago. But out of it came beauty.

But RATS—THE WORLD'S WORST! the Holland spring comes earlier and the climate seems particularly adapted for the development of bulbs.

In England, one of the smartest of oars goes a step further. The running board and step both are missing when the door of the car is closed. A hing- ed step, connected to the door, un- folds when the latter is opened.

Yet losses by rats have been sustained for so long that commonly they have been taken as much for granted as the forces of nature. But in the present day of rigid accounting and efficiency, even losses from the elements are insured against, and the time is rapidly ap- proaching when the constant drain through rat depredations will no lon- ger be tolerated. The uncanny elusiveness of rats necessitates a matching of wits if one is to be successful in destroying them. In the war on rats one is not confronted with a stupid insect that requires only the employment of a routine control procedure for whole- sale destruction, but with a wary ani- mal that has instincts closely akin to human intelligence. To be rid of rats Would be worth a thousand times what it might cost.
