Uzziah the King Who Became Proud and Fell

In a August 27 1939 Sunday school lesson by Wm Southern Jr the story of King Uzziah is examined as a warning about pride. Uzziah's youth brought prosperity and military success yet his arrogance led him to usurp priestly duties, prompting divine punishment and a life in quarantine. The piece links the moral to rulers and dictators who exalt themselves above God and warns that power without humility leads to downfall.
