TIME.--The revival under Josiah toik place in B.C. 624, though Jcsiah's reign extended from 641 B.C. to 610 B.C. PLACE.--Principally in the city of Jerusalem, and, particularly, in the temple. "And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of. Judah and of Jerusalem." Although LESSON No. 64 COMPOSITION--PART 3 How did you get along with your work required in the last lesson? So far the best results received came to us from either our very young readers or those passed sixty (60) years of age. Surely this is a challenge to the youth and middle aged. You will remember that -we dealt with a heavy line for the division maker. Now to demonstrate our method a little further, we illustrate that a spot placed within a rectangle acts the same as lines In the division of the whole area. with due consideration for the d,** ances to the angles, the sides, pi the whole area. When a spot is plac- I ed in this position, the eye is satis-1 fled for it unconsciously perceives the harmonious relation that exists in such a division of the area. -All | of which is due t0 the fact that the spot really divides the rectangle into four areas that are harmoniously 'related to each other and to the whole rectangle. It was through a definite knowledge of measure, that this spot was ho correctly placed and not. left to chance, taria which are filled with girls suffering from various degrees of physical breakdown, particularly tuberculosis. If there are laws to prevent the use of arsenic on hamburgers, there ought to be a law curbing the stylist. the had ived which was favorable only in its bearing on himself, his first care was to bring together the entire people, to make them acquainted with the law-book, to lead them to repent, and so to avert, as far as possible, the threatened punishment." "And the king went up to the house of Jehovah." The most appropriate place for the reading of the law of God, and a place where great multitude* could easily be gathered together. "And all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets." And all the people, both small and great." That is, both high and low; cf. Ps. 49:2. "And he read in their ears all the words of the bcok of the covenant which \va3 found in the house of Jehovah." Fcr a similar occasion see Nehemiah 8. a. Oi Grass Stains To remove grass stains wash the stained spot in alcohol and rinse in clear, water while stain is fresh, if possible. Another way to remove into the spots, leave for a few minutes, then wash out and launder as •a. o 3 2.0* 3.05- "AnJ the king stood by the pil-la:." Or, on a raised platform (cf. 11:14; 2'Chron. 6:13). "And made a covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes." He did not make a rev/ covenant, but he renewed his determination to keep the covenant .which, long before, his forefathers hal entered into with God. "With' all his heart, and all his soul." See, j especially, Deut. 4:29; Matt. 22:37.1 AVIth all your heart, and with all your soul, means the bringing of yourself together resolutely, in your endeavor to seek after God. That is the condition of getting back. "To confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book: and all the people stood to the coven-j ant." They all took the same pledge as the king. "And the king commanded Hil-j kiah the high priest, and tne priests of the second order." The younger and subordinate priests. "And the keepers of the threshold." The I.cv-ites whose duty it was to guard the temple. "To bring forth out of the temple of Jehovah all tho vessels that were made for Baal." The sun-gcd, to whom human sacrifices were offered to appease his anger in' time of plague (2 Kings 16: 3; 21:6). Baal worship had been revived by Manasselr, 2 Kings 21:3. "And for the Asherah." The name of a goddess whose worship was derived from Assyria, a goddess of fertility,' whose symbol was the trunk of a' tree, or a cone of stone. "And for atl the host of heaven." The moon and tars, also objects of pagan worship. "And he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of the Kid-ron, and carried the ashes of them unto Beth-el." While it need not be assumed that the king actually made the fire and burned them himself, he was the one whose order was responsible for their destruction, and he no coubw personally super-Nothing could have been more thoicugh than the reformation which Josiah undertook, especially as regards external matters. Only God himself, by his Spirit, can change the human he/lrt, but a man with great power can bring about a vast change in the external conditions prevailing among those people over whom he has jurisdiction. "And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto Jehovah your God, as it is written in this book of the covenant." The ordinance of the passover is given in Deut. 16:1-8. "Surely there was not kept such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the king's of Judah." Scripture records that the passover was kept the second year after the exodus (Numbers 9:1-5), and then not again until the Israelites had entered the Premised Land (Josh. 5:10). After that, special celebrations of the pass-over are only mentioned once during- the reign of Solomon (2 Chron. 8:13), again under that of Heze-kiah (2 Chron. 30:15), at the time cf Josiah (as here), and once more after the return from Babylon under Ezra (Ezra 6:19). Now study Fig. No. 202, you will note that the spot is placed exactly | in the centre, the eye is able to divide the area into equal parts, which gives the effect of "Unity" and "Symmetry" because of bhe equal distance from all sides and all angies. Thus the eye is enabled to move back and forth from the sides and angles on the horizontal, vertical movement is much like the swinging of a pendulum and soon becomes tiresome, monotonous and uninteresting, as there is not any "Variety". Although we change the shape of our object or area the effect is still the same, see Fig. No. 203. If a spot were so extromely placed in the area as to lead the eye to one of the corners, as in Fig. No. 204, its tendency would be to make a division into parts which would not bear any pleasing relation to each other or to the whole. Note the emptiness of space in the remainder of the area or picture space, this ex-should always be avoided. A study of Fig. 205, will prove that the spot has been intelligently placed by the law of proper proportion, ing. In most instances this so-called "feeling" in composition is merely a vain effort to properly locate this line of division or any other lines, by haphazard guess work. So far what do we know, or what have we learned? We know t$at everything in art must be related and that harmony depends upon the due proportions of the different parts. Therefore, we must have some means of measure, in order to place our object intelligently within the picture Next week, we shall endeavor to teach how to locate the accurate position, in order to, place the spot as in Fig. No. 205. Ex. No. 62. Proceed the same as last week; but, instead of using a line for the division use a spot, to find the different areas in squares, triangles and circles.
