century the Kingdom of Judah
had been menaced by the Assy
rians. Ahaz had done homage to
i the Assyrian king and his son,
i Hezekiah, who succeeded him,
| became almost a vassal of the
great Assyrian Empire. Thus,
Hezekiah, at the age of only 25,
| inherited, not only a throne, but
(all the difficult problems con
nected with trying to protect a
small nation from the imperial
istic plans of larger and more
I powerful surrounding countries.
There is a strange parallel in
I the position in which Hezekiah
! found himself and the position
of some of the smaller nations
of the world today. Expedi
ency, rather than wisdom, dic
tated that Judah enter into an
alliance with a stronger power
to protect itself against the
growing encroachment of a
neighboring power. Although the
prophet Isaiah warned vigorous
ly against it, Hezekiah joined in
a rebellion against the Assyrian
overlordship in an attempt to
0 throw off the annual tribute.
l ’ Sennacherib immediately sent
his troops westward, and after
e conquering Phoencian towns, in
’’ vaded Judah and blockaded Je
’’ rusalem, but did not take it.
Seeing such a state of affairs
as probable, Hezekiah had pre
-1 pared for it by having a conduit
' for water built, and plans made
5 within the city to withstand a
' long seige. After some time, Sen
-1 nacherib withdrew without se
-1 curing the chief prize of his en
-1 terprise. Judah, however, suf-I
’ sered greatly as a result of herj
alliance with Egypt and Baby-;
lonia and Isaiah was not slow
in reminding the king and the
people of their losses.
While Hezekiah was certainly
not without fault, he has been j
placed at the very top among
the kings of Judah after the fall
of the monarchy. II Kings 18:5
declares of him, there was “aft- j
I er him, none like him among the
I kings of Judah, nor any that
were before him.” In the first 1
month of his reign, he reversed
the policy of his father Ahaz,
and “opened the doors of the
house of the Lord.” To his cred
it, he set out to restore the Mo
saic forms of worship, removing
I every possible likeness to God
I from the places of worship. Even
| the brazen serpent, made by
I Moses, which the people had
come to worship, was broken to
pieces. He sent letters of invita
tion to all the tribes, north and
south, to attend the official res
toration of the historic liturgy
of the Hebrews.
The boldness of his reforma
tion was practically nullified by
the fact that the whole move
ment tended to make worship
an affair of the state rather than
an affair of the heart. Cere
mopial religion, carried even to
its hideous extreme of human
sacrifice, has never saved any
one. Zeal for God and His
righteousness, not zeal for ritu
al, will give strength to meet the
problems and perils of the day.
It is to Hezekiah’s credit that
he kept the prophet Isaiah close
to him as his counsellor, although
he did not always heed the warn
ings of the man of God. Not only
was Isaiah a man who had sur
rendered his life to God’s call, he
was a real statesman, with the
courage to speak his convictions
at all times and in all places,
braving the wrath of kings,
princes, priests and false proph
ets.
Having the utmost faith in
God. Isaiah believed that while
I God would not save a sinning
people for their own sakes, in
spite of their sins, for grounds
sufficient to him, God could
and would overrule the evil de
signs of Jerusalem’s enemies in
I order to further his purpose of
i bringing a Saviour to all the
'peoples of all the earth. (Isa. 40:
1 18-31). Although living 700 years
before the birth of Christ, Isaiah
gave a picture of Jesus which
constitutes the heart of the Old
Testament.
All the weakness of Judah was
offset by the faith of this one
man. When king and people
faced what seemed to be a choice
■between slavery and massacre,
they turned to the man who
had told of a God who was the
'true refuge and strength of his
{people. Now Jerusalem learned
I from him that, in quietness and
I confidence in the power of God.
they could find the way out of
I the' deadly predicament into
which they had been led by re- i
liance on the power of man.

SUCCESSFUL
PARENTHOOD
LOVING AND LIKING NOT
THE SAME
It is incredible, but true, that
some parents who love a child
deeply rarely show him that they
like him. Now being loved is as
necessary to normal emotional
development as sun, food, and
air are to normal growth. But
being liked in childhood, as well
as loved, is the vitamin essence
from which a pleasing personal
ity grows.
The reason for that is that lov
ing a child springs partly from
Instincts within yourself—he is
yours, he is dependent on you,
he is a source of pride. But lik
ing is engendered by what flows
from the child himself—you like
him because he is amiable, ener
getic, bright, amusing, good,
• sometimes even because he is
beguilingly naughty.
Expressions of love and liking
i are different, too. Your love
prompts you to care for the
j child’s health and well being, to
■ sacrifice for his education. Your
liking shows in a spontaneous
let’s-go-places-and-have fun at
titude, in your welcome to his
friends, in your tolerance of the
noise and comusion he some
times makes, above all, in your

Going Fishing?
Here's How!
To hear Willie Wells and Basil
Strube arguing about trout fish
ing, you’d think it was more im
portant than the atom bomb.
Willie favors dry flies, Basil
pooh-poohs anything but wet flies.
Willie swears by a Royal Coach
man ; Basil won’t hear of anything
but a Silver Doctor. And by the
time it comes to steel rods versus
bamboo rods . . .
But on Saturday, each got back

wholehearted acceptance of the
type of person he is.
That is one reason why par
ents often think children are
ungrateful. For it is human na
ture to take food, clothing, shel
ter, and education for granted
until after we have to provide
i them for ourselves, therefore,
these things aren’t apt to repre
sent love to a child, let alone
liking. But knowing that you will
stop in the midst of cleaning a
cupboard to listen to his latest
enthusiasm, especially if it’s one
he has made up himself—such
| attention makes a child feel
j loved and liked both. He feels
that you like him when you re
spond gaily to his objections to
getting undressed, even though
he knows you are going to make
him mind. (Children usually
like to mind if you don’t make
them feel bullied and helpless
about it.)
Instead, too many parents ap
pear to side against the child.
Take the shy, awkward girl born j
to parents of unusual social,
grace. Do they by theii- acts and'
words let the child know that
diffidence is no bar to being
liked? Do they through the
years teach comfortable ways of
meeting people, not expecting
her to be vivacious and talka
tive, but just courteous and
kind? Or do they spoil her
Each had used his favorite kind
of fly, his favorite rod and his
favorite place to cast. So over a
friendly glass of beer, they al
lowed as how maybe they were
both right . . . which is how so
many arguments should end.
From where I sit, if we all re
spected one another’s different
opinions—whether about trout
flies, or drinking beer, or voting,
life would be a whole lot pleasanter.

chances of making friends with
quiet, retiring persons like her
self by trying to make her over
into their own type of personal

Then there is the exact oppo

This doesn’t mean that you
should do nothing to help a
child outgrow unpleasant char

who had had three husbands,
“but, still, some are better at it
