LESSON FOR MAY 14
HEZEKIAH LEADS HIS PEOPLE
BACK TO G^D
LESSON TEXT. —II Chron. 30:1-27.
GOLDEN TEXT.— God is gracious and .
merciful, and will not turn away His face
from you. if ye return unto Him.—
II Chron. 30:9.
REFERENCE MATERIAL.—II Chron.
29:31: ch. 32 : 34:29-33: Amos 9:7-15.
PRIMARY TOPIC.—A King Who Wor
shiped God.
JUNIOR TOPIC. Hezeklah’s Great
Passover.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC.
—Putting Religion First.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC.
—Wise Methods of Reform.
I. Hezekiah Proclaims a Passover
(w. 1-18).
The way for a sinning and divided
people to get back to God and be
united, is around the crucified Lord.
1. The Invitation Was Representa
tive of the Nation (v. 2a). The king
took counsel with the princes and the
congregation to show that the proc
lamation was the expression of the
nation’s desire.
2. The Time Was Unusual (vv. 2b-4).
There was not sufficient time to
sanctify the people, nor to gather them
together at the regular time, so they
resolved Instead of postponing it for
a year to hold it on the fourteenth day
of the second month. This liberty
had been granted before in an exi
gency (Num. 9:6-13). This flexibility
with reference to the holding of the
passover shows that God’s ordinances
were made for man and not man for
the ordinances.
3. The Scope of the Invitation (vv.
5-9). It included all of both nations
who would come to keep the passover
to the Lord God of Israel. “Israel” is
now used to include both kingdoms.
The effort was to win back the nation
Which had seceded. The posts who
were sent with the message were au
thorized to supplement the proclama
tion with urgent exhortation to join
as a united nation. This urgent invi
tation was tactfully put as follows:
(1) It touched ancestral memories—
“ Turn again unto the Lord God of
Abraham, Isaac and Israel” (v. 6).
Both kingdoms had a common ances
try. (2) Recent bitter experience—
“Be not like your fathers, and breth
ren, who trespassed against the Lord
God, and were given up to desolation,
as ye see” (v. 7). This was a deli
cate subject, but their ruin was so
marked that such truth could be
pressed. (3) Yearning for captive
kinsfolk —“Your brethren and children
shall find compassion before their
captors” (v. 9). (4) The instinct of
self-preservation —"So thnt they shall
come again into this land” (v. 9). (5)
The forgiving mercy of God (v. 9).
God will not turn any sincere seeker
away from Him. “Him that cometh
unto Me I will Ln no wise cast out”
(John 6:37).
4. Israel’s Reception of the Invita
tion (vv. 10-12). This Invitation in
Israel met a mingled reception. (1)
Some mocked. The urgent and sin
cere Invitation only excited opposition
and ridicule. (2) Some with humble
hearts came to Jerusalem. This is
ever the case. The gospel is a savor
of life unto life and death unto death.
11. The Passover Kept (vv. 13-27).
1. Altars Removed (vv. 13, 14). In
the time of Ahaz (ch. 28:24), these
heathen altars were erected in Jeru
salem. Before there could be worship
of the true God all these traces of
idolatry must be removed. This act
of the people was voluntary, and shows
that a right spirit actuuted them.
2. The Passover Killed (v. 15).
3. The Priests and Levltes Ashamed
(w. 15-20). The zeal of the people
put to shame the prlestv and Levltes.
They were stimulated to perform their
duties according to the law of God
as given by Moses. They even took
charge of the killing of the passover,
since many of the officers were not
sanctified so as to render this service
for themselves. Though unprepared
ceremonially, yet they took part in
this most sacred service and were ac
cepted as worshiper* through the In
tercession of Hezekiah. God accepted
the purpose of heart rather than the
letter of the law.
4. The Praise of Glad Hearts (vv.
21, 22). They continued seven days
with gladness: (1) The Levltes and
priests sang God’s praise dally on loud
| Instruments (v. 21). (2) Hezeklah’s
comforting words to the Levltes (v.
22). He commended them and their
I teaching of the knowledge of God.
I (3) They made confession of their j
sins to God (v. 22).
5. The Passover Prolonged Seven i
Days (vv. 23-27). The king’s object 1
in prolonging the feast was to make j
as lasting an Impression as possible, j
so as to result in the thorough con
version of their souls to God.
Holy Communion.
In the holy communion we plead thi
great sacrifice which can never be re
peated. As Joseph’s brethren held up
the blood-stained coat before their fa
ther to tell him in a touching way thnt
Joseph was dead, so in the holy com
munion we hold up as It were the
| blood-stulned coat before the Father
in heaven. —The Bishop of London.
The Wicked Flee.
The wicked flee when no man par
ttjeth; but the righteous are bold as a
lion. —Proverbs 28.
STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE MADE IN
OLD-FASHIONED WAY IS PLEASING
Individual Shortcakes Are Attractive In Appearance and Easy to Serve.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Perfect strawberry shortcake, made
at home in the simple old-fashioned
way, is more tempting than the most
elaborate concoctions of bakers or
hotel chefs. “Biscuit shortcake, by all
means,” is the masculine verdict; a lit
tle “shorter” than usual, perhaps, the
housewife may decide, but otherwise
simply biscuit dough,* the lightest and
best she knows how to produce, topped
off with luscious whole berries,
whipped cream, icing, or egg whites.
Double Instead of Split Biscuits.
Individual shortcakes are attractive
in appearance and easy to serve. The
dough may be cut out with a very
large biscuit cutter or made into
squares. Instead of splitting one large
cooked biscuit, two thinner rounds of
dough may be baked together, if the
lower one is first buttered to enable
the cook to slip them upart.
The strawberries, after washing and
hulling, may be cut in halves and
sprinkled with sugar shortly before
the biscilit dough is made. A few
perfect whole berries should be saved
to decorate the top layer. The others
should be merely cut, not crushed nor
mutilated.
Hull and trim a few at a time, drop
for a moment only into a bowl of
clean, cold water, so that the sand
sinks to the bottom while the fruit
floats on top, then skim off into a
colander to drain dry. If a whole
quart of hulled berries is turned into
a pan of water some of the berries
become soft and lose their fine flavor
before the entire quantity can be
rinsed and taken out. The sand from
the upper ones often settles on those
beneath. The same is true when any
fruit or vegetable is merely put in a
colander and thrust under running
water.
Putting the shortcake together at
serving-time is a matter of individual
preference. The dessert will be ex
cellent if it merely consists of the
split, buttered biscuit covered in the
center and on top with berries from
which the fragrant juice is beginning
to spread. Whipped cream, sweetened
and flavored with vanilla, Is perhaps
the most quickly prepared finish for
the shortcake, if there is plenty of
cream on hand. Beaten egg-whites,
sweetened as for a meringue, mnke
an admirable substitute for cream,
PRESERVE CHERRIES
FOR USE IN WINTER
Unpitted Fruit Presents Most At
tractive Appearance.
Department of Agriculture Gives Di
rections for Proper Canning of
Delicious Edible—Be Care
ful of Rubber Rings.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Sweet white anil large black cher
ries are usually canned unpitted, but
acid cherries ordinarily are pitted be
fore canning. Unpltted cherries pre
sent a more attractive appearance,
and many like the flavor the pit gives
to the product. The following direc
tions for canning this delicious fruit
are given by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture:
If cherries are to be canned whole,
plunge them for 20 to 30 seconds in
hot water. This prevents splitting. A
sirup for sweet cherries muy be made
of 'iVt pounds of sugar to 4 quarts
of water. I'ack cherries, whether pit
ted or unpltted, to within one-half
inch of top in jars which have been
boiled 15 minutes. Fill jar with sirup
and put on rubber, which has been
for 15 minutes in a solution made
from 1 tablespoOnful of soda and 1
quart of boiling water. Itemove top
from water in which it boiled for 15
minutes and pluce on Jar. Partially
seal jar. (With glass top can, put one
bail in place. With screw top Jar,
screw halfway on.)
If steam-pressure cooker Is used,
place Jars in cooker and process quart
jars 25 minutes. When a commercial
hot-water bath canner or a home-made
one is used, place the jars (after
partially sealing) In the canner on a
false bottom. Water should cover the
Jars. Do not start counting time until
the water is boiling. Process quart
Jars for 20 minutes. When processing
is finished, remove Jars, complete seal
ing, test ♦or leaks, and store in cool,
dry place. If the Jar leaks, remove
rubber and put on new wet one and
process 15 minutes more.
and are preferred by many who think
the whipped cream too rich. Another
method is to use white cake icing, put
tint? on each half of the cake first a
layer of Icing, then a layer of straw
berries, and last a generous cout of
Icing.
Shortcake Not Merely a Dessert.
Strawberry shortcake for breakfast,
made with or without plain cream,
makes a delicious variant of the or
dinary diet. With it should be served
either a glass of milk or a dish of cot
tage cheese to make It a more com
plete meal. This is an Ideal break
fast or lunch for children, as well as
a very satisfactory change for Sunday
night supper.
A shortcake of any description is so
hearty a dessert that a somewhat
lighter meal than usual should pre
cede it. When there is a scant por
tion of potato or rice, some recooked
meat to use up, or a meatless meal to
consider, strawberry shortcake is an
nppropriute dessert. It should never
be planned as the end of a long, heavy
dinner, when the appetite has befin
fully satisfied before the sweet course
is reached.
Any good biscuit rule may be used.
The recipes given below have been
tested by food specialists of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture :
Biscuit Dough for Shortcake.
1 pint flour. 2-3 to 3-4 cupful
4 teaspoonfuls bak- milk.
ing powder. 4 to 6 tablespoonfuls
% teaspoonful salt. fat.
Sift the dry Ingredients. Work In
the fat with the tips of the fingers.
Use enough milk to ensure a rather
soft dough that may be patted fiat
rather than rolled. Hake In a fairly
hot oven.
Icing for Shortcake.
Put Into the upper part of a double
boiler —
1 cupful granulated 1 egg white,
sugar.
4 tablespoonfuls cold
water.
When the water underneath Is boil
ing, begirt" to beat with a Dover egg
beater until the frosting takes definite
shape, when the beater is lifted. Take
from the fire and add one-eighth tea
spoonful salt and one-teaspoonful of
vanilla or other flavoring. Continue
beating until firm enough to spread
without running.
