Golden Text. â€" Turn us again, O God; and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved. Ps. 80:3. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. â€" Hezekiah ascended the throne of Judah in 715 B.C., and it was not long after this when he began making preparations for the great passovcr feast of which our lesson speaks. Place. ^Jerusalem. The Pasiover Feail The first g-reat feast in the He- brew calendar of sacred festivals was the passover, which combined in it the idea both of sacrifice (in reality, the sin-offering) and fes- tivai, for with it was joined tho feast of unleavened bread. It was instituted in Egypt on the four- teenth of Xisan, the first month of the sacred year (Exod. 12: 2). and it was at once the sign and seal of Israel's protection from judgment and redemption from bondage. The main feature of it was the lamb slain and the sprink- ling of the blood on the lintels and door-posts of the Hebrew housj;s. This was God's solemn pledge of safety and immunity from the mes- senger of death, the angel destroy- er. Jehovah's word to the people about the blood was, "When I see the blood, 1 will pass over you, and there shall no plague be upon you to destroy you. when I smite the land of Egypt" (Exod. 12:13, Re- vised Version). Iledemption by blood is the solemn lesson and the central truth in the passover. The lamb died that the first-born of each Hebrew family might not die. The typical character of the passover is distinctly recognized in the New Testament: "For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us" (I Cor. 5:7). The lamb slain was the first great object held up to Israel about to t)e re- deemed. Behold the Lamb of God, is the cry that first reaches a sin- ner's ear and a sinner's heart. Christ and him crucified is the one supreme object in Ged's plan of ledemption. 13. And there assembled at Je- rusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great as- sembly. 14. And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense look them away, and cast them intii the brook Kidron. Just as when a city in our country is prcparintr for a centennial celebra- tion or for a great home-coming, houses are painted, the streets are cleaned, every possible arrange- ment is made to eomfortalJTy care for the hundreds and thousands who will be crowding into the community, so now, that the pass- ovcr miirht be celebrated as Ciod would have it. Hezekiah had the whole city of Jpru.'alem pyvged of its fa!-e idols. A Real Revival 15. Thpn they killed the pass- over on the fourteenth day of thi' second month: and the prie.'sts and the l.evites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought burnt olferings into the house of Jehovah. 10. And they stood in their place after their order, ac- cording ti' the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood which they lecoiveti of the hand of the I.evite.s. 17. For there were many in the assembly that had not sanctified themselvas: therefore the Levites had the charge of killing the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto Jehovah. Let us never think that a real revival can ever be had unless it is characterized by a return to that great and final sacrifice of the Larab of God, who is i:he eternal propritiation for our sins, and by whose precious blood atonement v/as forever provided for all who would confess their sins and re- ceive the gift of eternal life. 18. For a multitude of the peo- ple, even many of Ephrami. and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover other- wise than it is written. For Heze- kiah had prayed for them, saying. The good Jehovah pardon every one 19. that setteth his heart to seek God, Jehovah, the God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary. 20. And Jehovah hearkened to Hezekiah and healed the people. The king recognizing the ritualistic unfitness of many to observe the passover, brought the entire matter to God, and asked pardon for all who had approached the altar without complying with all the laws for purification. A sin of ignorance in the ease of some. The king's prayer was successful. 21. .'V.nd the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness; and the Levites and the priests praised Jehovah day by day, sing- ing with loud instruments unto Je- hovah. For three hundred years in Israel's history, i.e., since the days of David (I Chron. 25:7), we do not find a single reference to singing among the people of God until the revival that occur- red under Hezekiah. The feast of unleavened bread was a continuation of the passover and followed it on the next day, and continued for a week. From the beginning of the passover all leaven was rigorously banished from the houses of the Hebrews. So strict was the law that the Jews made search for leaven with lighted lamp, that no particle of it might remain concealed. 22. .\nd Hezekiah spake com- fortably unto all the Levites that had good understanding in the service of Jehovah. So they did eat throughout the feast for the seven days, offering sacrifices of peace-offerinlrs, and making con- fession to Jehovah, the God of their fathers. Only about five per cent of the population of London, Kngland, are said to be "greatly concern- ed with church-gijing." Teach Children To Enjoy Music Childrea Will Respond to Stor- ies Behind Compositions Rhyud Jamieson, music critic tor the Vancouver Dally Province, sug- gests a manner in which ha be- lieves children could bo lured mora readily from, baseball fields to piano lessons. Most ot the present-day teachers make the mistake, he believes, oC treating their younger pupils as students, rather than as children. Children, he says, miss the tun and laughter ot their games while they are taking th&ir lessons and for that reason they think they hate music. Instead, they should be taught that music itself contains fun and laughter; that there are fairy stor- ies and other stories In music as well as in literature. "Once we get to that point oC view," he believes, "the musical childhood ot Canada is sate, but It we don't, the mortality will stead- ily increase." Huge Telephone System In Russia Six Thousand Miles of Equip- ment Sent From Britain A British firm has Just shipped to Russia tha last coosignment ot equipment for the world's longest carrier telephone system, which will run for nearly 9,000 kilometres (about 6,000 miles) crossing Siber- ia and covering practically the en- tire breadth ot the U.S.R.R. It will give direct communlca- tloa between Moscow and Khab- arovsk, which is near the Manch- ukuo border, north ot Vladivostok; this enormous distance will be cov- ered by an open wire line, divided into five links ot 2,117 kilometres, 1,443 kilometres, 1,S67 milometres, 990 kilometres, 2.414 kilometres, respectively. Special Apparatus Specially designed transmission apparatus which will make It pos- sible to operate several telephone and telegraph circuits simultane- ously and, In addition, a channel tor broadcasting or picture trans- mission, are included in the con- tract. Standard Telephones and Cables Limited, of London, were given the contract tor the work at a figure exceeding £S00,O0O. Largest Aircraft Order In History $100,000,000 Contracts Army Planes For The United States War Depart- ment awards contracts this month for approximately $100,000,000 worth ot airplanes, the largest sin- gle aircraft order in history. The contrasts, together with pre- vious awards amounting to $54,000- 000, form a major part ot a $170,- 000,000 air expansion program de- signed to bring army fighting strength to 5,500 planes by July 1, 1941. The present Air Force num- bers about 2,000 craft. Appointment of War Resources The awards followed by less than 24 hours a joint Army-Navy move to enlist the aid of leading business men and scholars in mold- ing American Industry to the rigid requirements ot war. Acting Secre- tary ot War Louis Johnson and Acting Secretary ot the Navy Charles Edison announced the ap- pointment ot a War Resources Board, similar to the Great War Industries Board, to assist in mob- ilizing economic resources in the event that national safety is being threatened.
