Hezekiah's Trust in God Amid Assyrian Threats
In the Sunday School lesson on 11 Kings, Hezekiah's early reform and later faltering trust are examined. The King’s faith wavers when paying off Sennacherib with temple gold, provoking further blasphemy, yet his humility returns through prayer. God promises deliverance, asserting power belongs to Him, and confirms defense of Jerusalem for David's sake.

Raw Eggs Last Longer Than Boiled Says Paris Doctor
Dr Leon Lindet of the Paris Conseil d Hygiene reports that raw eggs keep edible much longer than cooked or hard boiled eggs. Soldiers reported home eggs spoiled after boiling, while raw eggs remained usable for weeks.
