SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
For May 11, Jchoida's Victory Over Baal.
BY DR. MARION McH. HULL
Golden Text: “Be strong in the
Lord and in the power of His might.”
Eph. 6:10.
Judah was on th edown grade to
ruin.' It had begun when Rehoboah
turned partly from the temple of
Jehovah, which his father Solomon
hA.fi built to worship the Baalim and
the Ashtaroth in groves and in high
places. None of his successors — al-
> though some of them were gcdly men
—completely cleaned up the kingdom
of these heathen abominations.
Ahab, the wicked king of Israel,
had married Jezebel,n the Tyria
princess and daughter of the priest
king of Baal. Her daughter Atha
liah had married Jehoram, son of
king of Judah. His
"wife’s influence was so bad on him
that it is recorded of him that he
walked in the way of the kings of
Israel. After eight years of a reign
of sin he dided of a horrible disease,
according to a warning given him by
Elijah. He was succeeded by his
son Ahaziah. Athaliah, the queen
mother, dominated her son also, and
> because of close family ties, he was
hand in glove with the wicked king
jpf Israel and pushed the worship of
T&aj further, forcing it upon Judah.
was slain after one year.
The death of her husband by the
curse of God and the violent death of
her son so shsortly afterward ought
to have softened this woman. In
stead of that, this daughter of Jeze
bel was not to be relegated to a minor
place; > but cruel, aggressive, and
for Baal, like her mother,
she seized this opportunity to put
herself in power and further extend
the influence of her Tyrian religion.
She had everj’ one of the seed loyal
slain; i. e., she thought she did. One
woman’s cruelty was pitted against
♦ another woman's cunning, though,
• aa we shall see.
4 Jehosheba was th© sister of the
King Ahaziah, and had married the
priest Jehoieda. There was one lit
tle boy baby named Joash. the son of
the king, whose presence was known
to Jehosheba only. In the life of
the harem a baby might be born and
escape the attention of every one out
,side. Evidently Athaliah was not
even of the existence of- this
, royal grandson. He was hidden by
his aunt in the temple enclosure and
kept in the room used for ostring
beds, where it would be an extremely
unlikely place for the queen to find
him. Here he was securely protected
for six years by his father’s sister,
the wife of'the priest.
Whenever the people came back
‘•to God He prospered them. For
forty years Joash reigned. Under
> the influence of Jenoiaoa, who now
is. spoken of as the chief priest—the
first high priest mentioned—a great
revival was begun and was con
tinued. Jehoiada’s influence was so
great that he even selected the two
wives for Joash and all the days
that Jehoiada lived, Joash did right
,in the sight of Jehovah. His out
: standing achievement was the re
f pair of the temple which had fallen
• into a sadly dilapidated condition
during the reigns of Jehoram,
Ahaziah, and the usurper queen At
haliah.
The low ebb of the priests is
shown in the fact that many years
passed and they had not gathered
funds enough to carry out his or
ders and he had to change his plan.
Placing a chest at the door of the
for voluntary offerings and
having it emptied every day in his
presence and the money turned over
to the treasurer and secretary for
distribution, the confidence of the
people that it would be rightly ad
ministered was restored and an
abundance was freely offered. This
was in turn handed to the workmen
who did the* work so faithfully and
♦so well that no record of it was kept
on them.
Jehoiada’s death at 130 years of
age removed the chief source of
Joash’s strength. His latter days
were a sad decline. His stoning of
Zechariah, the son of his benefactor,
was base ingratitude as well as un
righteous in God’s sight. Disease
* was rapidly sapping his life, but his
.servants would not let him die of
it, but slew him for the murder of
Jehoiada’s son. Baal was dethroned
as long as Jehoiada lived, hut after
his death, the princes had turned
again to this licentious worship. It
' was Zecharaih’s denunciation of this
that led to Joash’s having him
stoned.
How hard the devil works to
(thwart God’s purposes! I low im
possible it is for him to do it even
though all that stands between is
the faint thread of life in a hidden

• Then Joash was brought into the
temple and placed beside the king's
'pillar. Some have thought that this
was one of the elaborately decorated
.pillars of Solomon made by Hiram.
Others —the suggestion is interest
ing at least, if rather far-fetched —
that it was the stone upon which
Jacob rested his head and dreamed
that night when he fled from his
brother Esau. These same think
that this same stone is now in

THE ATLANTA TKI-WEEKLY JOURNAL
whether either or neither, the boy
was placed by the pillar, the crown
of David put upon his head, the
testimony (the book of the Cove
nant) placed in his hands, the anoint
ing oil poured on him by Jehoiada
and his sons—amid the shouts of
the people: “God save the king!”
The noise reached the earg of
tri,, queen in her palace, and sh*
came with her attendants to the
people in the house of Jehovah. It
was probably the first time in six
years that she had been in the tem
ple where her little grandson, just
now proclaimed the boy-king, had
been raised. And when she saw the
king crowned and standing by the
throne, she took in the situation and
cried “Treason! Treason!”
But that was what Jehoiada had
anticipated, and he ordered her tak
e nout of the walls of the temple
and slain. She was the real traitor,
the murderr, the agent of the .devil
and thq enemy of God. Death by
the knife was really too good for
her.
Baal Dethroned
Joash, David's royal son, on the
throne as the conductor of the line
of God's promise, all other pretend
ers must be dethroned. Baal had
been in the ascendency by reason
of Jezebel and Athaliah. But now
Jehoiada made a covenant between
himself and all the people and the
king that the.y should be the Lord’s
people, and the result of that was
the 'immediate transfer of tjiem to
the house of Baal, its destruction,
the breaking down of its altars and
images and the slaughter of its
priest, Mattan. They made a clean
sweep.
Their next step was to put the
worship of Jehovah into effect again
just as David had planned it accord
ing to the law given by Moses. The
priests and the Levites each had
their duties assigned to them; the
king was established in Solomon’s
palace, and hte land had joy and
the city quiet.
This little baby was most impor
tant. God had promised Abraham
that in his seed all the families of
the earth should be blessed. He had
carried that promise farther, that in
Isaac should his seed be called. He
had chosen Jacob instead of Esau,
the elder of Isaac’s two sons, as the
one through whom the line of prom
ise should be. Os Jacob’s twelve
sons, JucVh was the one chosen to
carry the blessing. Os Judah’s de
scendants, Jesse was chosen. Os
Jesse’s eight boys, David was the
choice. To David the promise was
given of a line of kings until Shiloh
come, and that his greater Son
should reign forever.
And all had gone well, according
to the promise down to this hour;
but now through the murderous
cruelty of Jehu and of this daugh
ter of Jezebel every child of this roy
al line ;had been destroyed except
this little baby boy of less than one
year old. The devil was doing his
best to prevent the oath of God from
being kept! If he could accomplish
the death of that little boy he could
frustrate God’s plan of redemption
and make His promises of no effect.
Notice the if. That little word and
that little baby boy were too much
for the devil because God was be
hind them..
So God raised up this aunt and
her husband. God gave her the
power to outwit the cruelty of the
baby’s own heathen grandmother.
God kept the boy hidden in the plun
der room of the temple devoted to
the worship of God and protected
him-in the very shadow of the tem
ple erected nearby for the licentious
and debasing worship of Baal. And
God put it in the heart of Jehoiada
to plan his coronation when as a
Hebrew boy of seven years Joash
had reached the years of responsibil
ity. And God consummated His
plan.
The Queen Over-reaches
During those six years the queen
had .unlimited power. There was
none to say her nay. She establish
ed and extended the worship of Baal.
She had a chief priest of the temple
of Baal, Mattan by name. She dis
couraged the worship of Jehovah in
every way that she could, until she
finally over-reached herself. She,
therefore, antagonized the priests of
Jehovah, and all the Levites. Her
cruelty made enemiejs of her soldiers
and her nobles, so that at the stroke
of God's clock all of these people
turned against her and were ready
and willing tools in the hand of Je
hoida for the carrying out of his
plan. He took into his confidence the
five priests of her soldiery; then he
got the assistance of the Levites
and priests throughout the kingdom
of the nobles and called a great con
vocation in the temple on the Sab
bath. The soldiers were armed with
the shields and spears that had been
King David's and formed a guard
around the person of the royal boy.
the only survivor of David's royal
line. One-third of the Levites were
placed in the temple, one-third at a
certain gate, and the other third at
the palace adjoining.
Al Smith Candidacy
Under Withering Fire
At Church Conference
SPRINGFIELD. Mass., May 3.
The candidacy of Governor Al Smith,
of New York, came in for a grilling
as the twenty-fourth quadrennial
conference of the Methodist Episco
pal church resumed here today.
Smith, if he should be elected,
would prove “untrue to his oath of
office," Rev. Clarence T. Wilson,
secretary of the church's board of
temperance and public morals, said
in an address urging rigid enforce
ment of the nation's dry laws.
The speaker assailed both Gover
nor Smith and President Butler, of
Columbia university, accusing Dr.
Butler of having presidential aspira
tions himself, and added that the
“presidential bee cannot be pre
served in alcohol.”
Governor William E. Sweet. Colo
rado, Democrat, told the conference
that blame for “corruption in Wash
ington" should be placed on blind
acceptance of false leadership by
the people.
Leaders of both political parties,
the governor said, "stand bound and
dumb before the fetish of party
regularity."

another one of those book worms, as mother
calls me. I am very fond of reading, have
just, finished reading "The Mysterious

Have any of you cousins the book, "Light
Os Western Stars?" if you have and would
lend it to me, write and let. me know.
Cousins, I like most any kind of sports,
horseback riding, especially. I’m a lover
of flowers though 1 haven’t any favorite,
and 1 don’t think anyone loves music any
better titan 1.
Cousins, I have a beautiful country home,
especially in summer when the lawn is
green and the rose bushes are in bloom. We
have many giant oaks and other kinds of
trees also. Cousins, you should visit me
this summer, we’d have a great time go
ing in swimming ami wading the. creek.
I have a dandy spring of nice cold water
also. It's nice in Ihe summer, I mean.
Cousins. I bet you've wondered who and
what, kind of a "thing” 1 am by now.
haven't yon? Well, I'm just a little blue
eyed country girl and am proud J am.
Yes. iny dad's a farmer, too. I live about
six miles south of Calhoun, Ga.. on the
Rome and Calhoun road. Not on the road
either, but about half a mile off of it.
Say; cousins, have any of you the song,
"Star of the East?" If so, please send

change. Have any of you my birthday, De
cember 14? The one who guesses my age

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
please admit a young married lady into
your midst? I read the cousins' letters
every week and enjoy reading them, es
pecially those from married ladies, for they
surely can write interesting letters, I
think.
I have been married n little over two
years and have one sweet little boy who
is sixteen months old. His name is Charles
Edward. If any of you cousins have any
flower cuttings, please send me some, as
all of mine were killed this winter. They
will surely be appreciated very much.

Dear Folks: t have appealed to
my little folks, and now I am going
to appeal to you to help in the pres
ervation of our wild flowers. You’ll
probably think I’m late in bringing,
this up, but what I want you to do
is through your home, your neigh
borhood, your clubs and societies to
make a serious effort this year to
save our wild flowers and shrubs.
If something definite isn’t done,
in an alarmingly short time our for
ests will be stripped, and there’ll be
no coming back, for root and seed
will be killed.
If these wild flowers could be
kept fresh, if they meant one single
thing except ruthless waste, I’d say
pick them, but you know from ex
perience and from watching cars
and wagons festooned with these
flowers, that in a. very short time
after they are pulled they are faded
and withered. Let’s all try to do
our part in saving the wonderful
beauty of our woods.
Cordially yours,
AUNT JULIA.
E. T. G.: Ts you want something
that is a bit dressier than cotton
material for your “Sunday Best,”
and yet want something that wiH
stand the washtub, get a wash silk.
You can get these silks in many
lovely patterns. I find that crepe
de chine washes beautifully, and so
does pongee. Am sending you sam
ples.
Mother of Twins: Yes, I do like
twin girls dressed alike. We have a
pair of twins fn our neighborhood.
They are grown girls now and still
wear the same things, work in the
same office and have the same bank
account; yet they never impress
anyone as having no personality, or
rather individuality. I know that
many people feel that twins lose
by' this sameness; but I don’t agree,
Mrs. S.: You can make the love
liest shades of unbleached muslin
that is, of course, for a room that
does not require a dark shade. Get
a good qaulity of unbleached muslin,
a. width that will fit your old shade
rollers. About five inches from the
bottom make a tuck wide enough
to carry the stick that goes in the
bottom. Turn this tuck down and
stitch, thus giving strength to the
place that the red or stick has to
be pushed through. The bottom you
can either leave straight or scal
loped and finish with an inch or a
two-inch cotton fringe Io match.
These shades are starched and put
on your old rollers, and you have
as smart a shade as the best dec
orator could give you. Os course,
you will want you a cord and ring
to pud by.
J. T.: In the summer it seems to
be the acceptable thing for boys
and men to wear negligee shirts
and go without their coats, if they
wear belts; but never with sus
penders. However, it will never be
the correct thing for a man or boy
to go to a dinner in such a garb
without his coat. Os course, in very
hot weather, your hostess may sug
gest that you leave off your coat. If
she does that is a different matter;
but you want to be very sure that
your shirt is fresh and clean.
Jenny: I don’t know when I’ve
seen a ribbon on a young girl's hair,
and a ribbon is becoming; but the
barrette seems to have taken its
place.
you cousins make paper flowers? That is
my hobby. I also make honeysuckle bas
kets. 1 surely do like to read. How many
of you cousins have seen Lee’s monument?
I haven't but surely want to. Will go be
fore Aunt Julia gets worried with me. Will
be glad to get letters from the cousins, es
pecially from California and Florida.

Cousins, haven't we the dearest, aunt in the

spondent friends. As this is our first time

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
The Young Married Man Whose
Large, Healthy Wife Will Not Do
Hqr Housework—The Mother
Who Does Not Understand or
or Thrust Her Daughter. Isn't
Jt for a Wife to Flirt if a
Husband Does?
DEAR MISS DIN: I am a
young married man, and my
ife is a large, strong and
healthy woman. I work hard end
when I come home at night the sup
per isn't cooked and none of the
housework done, and if I ask my
wife to clean up'she gets angry and
cries and pouts.
If she were sick-
I would not, of
. course, expect
s her to keep
things neat and
tidy, and have
c o m f o r table
meals prepared
for me, but she
is husky, and
\ there is no rea
s<son except lazi-
Iness for her not
doing her work.
Mj r mother is
a fine house
-keeper, and I
Ell
MRS-
have always been used to a clean
house and good food, so 1 cannot
stand this and am thinking of leav
ing my'wife. What would you do
if you were in my place?
A DISAPPOINTED HUSBAND.
Answer:
I would put the matter straight up
to my shiftless, no-account wife and
tell her that she could take her
choice between doing her duty and
a divorce. That would probably
bring her to her senses and make
her realize that marriage isn’t all
work for a man and loafing for a
woman.
In manj' of the states a woman
can get a divorce from a man if he
fails to support her. There should
be a companion piece to this la w and
a man should be able to get di
vorce from a woman if she fails to
be a good housekeeper. For it is
no more an obligation for a man to
provide shelter and food for his wife
than it is for her to keep the home
clean and neat and comfortable, and
set well-prepared, nourishing meals
before him.
There is no excuse, except being
a bedridden invalid that a woman
can make, for not being a good
housekeeper. Any woman who is
able to be about can sweep a. floor
clean and make a bed tidily, and
any woman who can read can be
come a good cook. Every bank and
housekeeping magazine will furnish
a woman a budget that will enable
her to gauge her expenditures thrift
ily, and you can buy alarm clocks
on any bargain counter that will
help the most procrastinating to get
things done on time if they wish to.
Marriage is a partnership in
which both of the contracting parties
must do their part if the firm of
Benedict & Co. is to be successful. A
man has a right to demand that his
wife shall do her share of the work
as well as get her share of the
profits. Therefore, if an industrious,
energetic and thrifty young man
finds that he has married a woman
who is lazy and no-account, and who
refuses to do her part of the work,
he has a perfect righ); to dissolve the
partnership.
If every young wife knew that
she held her job on good behavior
and giving satisfaction, and that the
grounds in the coffee pot would be
grounds for divorce, many a languid
young creature who lies on a couch
and eats chocolate creams all day
and feeds her husband out of paper
bags and tin cans, would get busy
with the scrubbing brush and the
cook stove.

Dive in Shallow Pool

MACON. Ga.. May 3—Miss Myrtice

night from injuries suffered two

at Forsyth, Ga.
widow and I her only child. She.
would do everything in the world for
me, but she never shows me a par
ticle of affection, never sympathizes
with me, is extremely critical and
at times suspicious. Sometimes she
provokes me to tears by imaging
slights and insults from me or my
friends, and I would rather tell my
dearest enemy of my love affairs or
other confidences than my mother.
It isn’t that 1 am a wild, head
strong girl who needs curbing, but
on the other hand I am very quiet
and settled, and have never given her
any cause for worry. I realize, how
ever, that she has never been out in
the business world, doesn’t recognize
that times have changed since she
was a girl, that people are broader
but sometimes I would give anything
if she would be a little more sym
pathetic, less critical and suspicious,
and if I could confide in her when
I need a mother’s advice.
' I know there are lots of mothers
just like mine—good, true women,
who would work their fingers to the
bone for their children, yet who by
their manner repel the confidences
and affection that should be theirs,
so I would be glad if you would in
one of your talks discuss this mat
ter.
A “MISUNDERSTOOD” DAUGH-
TER.
Answer: Unfortunately, my dear,
there are many hens who hatch out
swans, and who always suspect that
there is something wrong in the
swan that makes it take to the wa
ter. Also there is something in the
hen intellect that makes it resent
its offspring not having her ways.
It is popularly believed that* no
other two human beings are as close
together or have as much in com
mon as a mother and daughter, but
methers and daughters are just as
likely to be temperamentally antago
nistic as they are to be sympathetic,
and when there is this difference. Be
tween them no stranger could have
less sympathy or understanding or
censideratioj} for a girl than her
mother has.
In such cases only the primitive
anima! instinct survives. The moth
er answers the daughter's physical
needs and will sew for her and cork
for her and make her comfortable
and nurse her when si’.e is sick, but
she cannot minister i.o nei’ spiritual
needs She has no sympathy with
her daughter’s aspiration's if the
girl wants to do things- she never
wan 1 cd to; She has no understand
mg of emotions she never felt.
i It is only the girls who are replicas
of their mother, and who are moved
by ths same impulses that moved
her, that a mother ever understands.
When you hear mother say that she
is disappointed in her daughter, <ne
always means that the girl is differ
ent from what she was. And she
is always jealous and resentful of
this strange girl to whose heart she
has not the key.
Dear Miss Dix: Isn’t it just as
fair for the wife to have her flirta
-1 tions as it is for the husband?
RAMBLING ROSE.
Answer: Certainly it is. But many
I things are fair that are not expedi
ent and women have many rights
; that it ruins them io enforce.
There is Mrs. Grundy to be reck
oned with, and the conventions and
j the customs of centuries and the
standard we have set for woman
hood. All intangible things, but
i nevertheless powerful for all that,
i So it is that the woman who goes
astray is sent to Coventry, while
the man who was her partner in
guilt is asked to dinner and the
flirtatious wife finds herself gossiped
I about and losing caste while people
dig the flirtatious husband in the
ribs and joke him about being a
devil with the women. All wrong,
of course. But it is the way the
i world wags.

Huguenots’ Descendants
Are Feted at Charleston;
Historic Spots Visited
CHARLESTON, S. C„ May 3.
A delegation of seven descendants
of Huguenots and Walloons from
New York and the Rev. Georges
Langa, of Paris, who, in connec
tion with the tercentenial celebra
tion of the founding of their first
colony in the middle Atlantic states
in 1624, are visiting points in the
southern states of special historical
interest, arrived in Charleston late
this afternoon.
The visitors came from Mayport,
Fla., where, on May 1, they un
veiled a monument to Jean Ribault,
Huguenot leader, who founded the
first Huguenot colony at Paris Is
land, S. C., in 1562 after touching
American soil for the first time at
Mayport.
The delegation while here will be
entertained by the officers of the
South Carolina Huguenot society.
They will attend services at the
French Huguenot church Sunday
and will go to
day morning. There they will be
entertained by Brig. Gen. EL Cole,
U. S. M. C., commanding.

FARM EDUCATION
Spraying Corn to Minimize Insect
Damage
W. M., Macon, Ga., writes: Is
there any method of spraying or
otherwise treating sweet corn
which has proven effective in
killing worms? The worms to
which 1 refer are the one which
usually consume from one-third
to one-half of the green corn.
The corn ear worm or the bud
worm as it is sometimes called is a
most destructive insect and one of
the most difficult with which the
gardener has to contend. I do not
think that there is any variety of
sweet corn which this insect attacks
with greater pertinacity than Golden
Bantam. On that account, I, per
sonally would undertake the culti
vation of large-eared sorts, which de
velop a little later. These, of course,
are violently attacked as well, but
on account of their larger size and
the greater vigoi- of the plants, they
make a better return than is secured
from Golden Bantam.
The corn ear worm is the progeny
of moth. The eggs of the first brood j
are laid on the corn and hatched in
from three to five days. The corn
is often attacked, therefore, when it
is about knee high. In about two
and one-half weeks, the larvae be
come full grown. They then burrow
into the soil and change into pupae
and two weeks later emerge again
as moths. It is ' the second genera
tion that does the greatest damage
to the ears of corn, for the moths
prefer to lay their eggs in the silk.
The first generation can be pretty
well controlled by spraying the corn
at the right time with a standard
solution of arsenate of lead or Paris
green. Once they become establish
ed in the end of the ears, little can
be done except to pick them out by
hand. This ;s a slow and costly
method, but it is very effective in
controlling' this insect.
Plant Food Requirements of
Cotton
M. A. G., Elberton, Ga., writes:
Will you please tell me how
much nitrogen, tfacid phosphate
and potash it takes to make the
stalks, leaves, burrs, seed and
lint of cotton? How much will
it take to make a bale of cotton?
How much and what kind of feed
should be given a cow giving two
and a half gallons of milk per
day?
A careful investigation of the sub
ject of the plant food requirements
of cotton has been made by a num
ber of chemists located at widely
scattered points throughout the
south. They figure that it takes the
following amounts of materials to
produce 300 pounds of lint cotton.
The table'which follows shows the
proportions of nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and potash required to make the
amount of lint indicated, the seed
which would be associated with it,
and the burrs, leaves; stems and
roots.
Dry Mat- Phos-
ter per Nitro- photic Pot-
Acre gen Acid ash
Lb. Lb. Lb. Lb.
Lint 300 0.63 0.23 2.00
Seed 580 19.01 6.88 6.68
Burrs 344 3.75 1.44 11.T1
Leaves 571 13.27 2.64 6.35
Knots 190 1.21. 0.36 1.96
Stems 631 4.52 1.25 6.44
Total 2,656 42.37 12.80 35.14
These figures, of course, are ap
proximations, but are sufficiently
nearly accurate to meet' your re
quirements. You will see that cot
ton removes from the soil only a
very small amount of plant food. A
good deal of the plant, food required
by the cotton plant is found in the
seed; hence, the disposition made of
the seed has an important bearing
on maintaining the fertility of the
land. Nearly half of the plant food
required in the development of the
cotton plant is contained in the burrs,
leaves, stems and roots. This ma
terial can. of course, be conserved
under a. wise practice so that there
will be no loss of fertility. It is for
this reason that the plowing under

of cotton stalks is advocated rather
than burning them.
It would take approximately two
thirds more plant food than the
amounts indicate above to produce
a bale of cotton per acre. 7-->m our
point of view, the formula you sug
gest would be improved if you were
to increase the acid phosphate to 1,-
250 pounds, reduce the cottonseed
meal to 200 pounds, and the potash
to 150 pounds. For your section of
the state, a good formula for cotton
is one containing 10 per cent avail;
able phosphoric arid, about 3 to 3 1--
per cent of available potash.
A cow giving two and one-half gal
lons of milk per da’ should be fed a
grain per day. She should have all
of cottonseed meal and wheat bran.
You may, of course, use peanut meal
in place of the wheat bran. Give
her about eight to ten pounds of
grain pe rday. She should have all
the roughage she will eat up clean.
It is desirable that you give her a
pasture on which to range wherever
it is practicable to do so.
