. Josiah (A Religious Reformer)
2 Kings 23: 1-5; 21-23 -1
The story of Josiah is ample proof,
that children even of wicked parents,
may not follow the bad example set
by them, but go in the ways that
please God. The grandfather oli
Josiah, Manasseh, was the wickedest j
of all the Kings of Juda. So was
Amon, the father of Josiah.
We naturally ask the question matter; they 'jo to the prophetess
"What cause can be assigned forjiiuldah, who lived in Jerusalem. Jere
Josiah's righteous life, even at the(rniah and Zephanich, contemporaries
age of eight years?" The answer is. wis Josiah, were not at Jerusalem.
"the mother." We remind here the
student of Jochebed, the mother of
Moses, and Hannah, the mother of!
Samuel.
This is a strong argument againstj
these who do not believe in children
conversion. Young Timothy, ot whom
Paul writes: "From a child thou hast
known the holy Scriptures," taught
by a godly mother and grandmother.
This child-king, only eight years old,
"did that which was right in the
sight of the Lord, and walked in all
the way of David his father ( or an
cestor), and turned not aside to the
right hand or to the left." If this
child could serve God, in those bad
environments, how much easier it
should to to live a Christian life to
day. Things moved along for sometime,
then at the age of twelve years Jo-
siah became acting king, and started
his reform, first of all by repairing
the temple, which had been neglect-'
cJ. These repairs had gone on for
some time, when the king ordered the
workers to be paid, and as Shaphau1

Residents of the northeast sec

few nights. Three homes have re

The man has been heard in several

gone to his long rest. Now the re

the king renewed his covenant with
Jehovah, then the people also conse

God. (This is exactly what our pres

order to fight the depression, and get
right with God, that the Lord might
once more smile upon this nation).
A regular housecleaning follows
such as never had been attempted be-
fore. A restoration of Jehovah wor
ship was brought about. To crown
the whole reformation it was con
cluded with the celebration of the
passover. It seems that the passover
was kept the second year after the!
Exodus (Num. 9:1-5), and then notl

is due every American."
