MOSES CALLED TO DELIVER ISRAEL Sunday School Lesson forJune 2.1907 Specially Prepared (or This Paper. LESSON TEXT. Exodus 3:1-14. Mem ory verses, 2-4. GOLDEN TEXT. "And -ho unlit, Ccr tnlnly I will bo with thee." Exodus 3-12. TIME. According to t'.io 'common chronology Moses loft Egypt nt the ago of 40, B. C. 1532. Ills cull wns 40 yenrs later, B. C. 1492 or 1493. Others placo It nearer 1300 or oven 1200. PLACE. The portion of tho land of Mldlnn where Mosea spent tho 40 years was probably tho southeastern part of tho Slnnltlc penlnsuln. Tho burning bush was on Mount Blnal, between the two arms of tho Red sea. Slnla and Ilorcb aro Interchangeable terms, thouch some think Slnal to be ono of tho mountains In tho mountain district called Horcb. IIULERS. Tho Pharaoh when Moses loft Egypt was probably Ramosea II. Ills son, Mencphtah, wns probnbly tho Pharaoh when Moses was called to de liver Egypt. Comment and Suggestive Thought. "Tho bush burning, yet not con sumed, has always been regarded as an emblem of,Israel In Egypt. Moses, In his farewell blessing of the tribes, could find no richer benediction of the sons of Joseph than to wlBh for them 'the good will of Him that dwelt in tho bush.' Thd Church of Scotland, therefore, has not mado an Inappro priate or unwarranted use of this emblem, when, looking at her own history, how she was cradled In per secution, she has put upon her banner a representation of the burning bush, with the legend: 'Nee tamen consume batur,' 'Yet It was not consumed.' " W. M. Taylor. Moses' Objections and Their An swers. Vs. 11-14; also to Ex. 5:17. Moses may have known that' Rameses 11. had been succeeded by his son Menephtah, a much weaker ruler; but he understood thoroughly tlus mighty power of Egypt, and, conscious of his own insignificance, it Is small wonder that ho began to bring forward objec tions to God's amazing proposal. First Objection, Moses' Insignifi cance. V. 2. "Who am I, that I shall go unto Pharaoh?" An exile unddr sentence of death, a shepherd 80 years old going to a magnificent court from which he had been absent 40 years, an old man attempting the stu pendous task of freeing 2,000,000 slaves and organizing them into a nation. No wonder Moses faltered. First Answer, God's Presence. V. 12. "Certainly I will be with thee." That same power before which Moses was hiding his face would go with him to confront his enemies. Second Answer, God's purpose. "Ye shall serve God upon this moun tain." "The fixing of that future meet ing place would serve to give confi dence to Moses by showing a reso lute, clear purpose on the part of God." Macgregor. Second Objection, tho Peoplo's Idol atry. 13. Moses remembered how ig norant the Hebrews were concerning the God of their fathers. When he brought them a message from God, they would be sure to ask: "What Is his. name?" "Tho Egyptians had vari ous gods, and Israel, long UBed to their practices, would be sure to ask after the name of the God whose messen ger Moses was. How was he to be named to them?" Alford. Answer, the Name of the One God. 14. "What a graven Image or some outward symbol was to all other na tions, that a name, and a name only, was to the Israelite." Hanna. The name God revealed to Moses was not unknown before (Gen. 22:14), but It was filled with a new meaning. "I AM THAT I AM." Third Objection, the Peoplo's In credulity. Moses foresaw (Ex. 4:1) that the people would not believe his story, and, as 40 years before, would refuse to follow his lead. y Answer, the Gift of Mlraclulous Power. "What is that in thine hand?" Jehovah asked; and bestowed upon the common shepherd's staff the pow er to become a serpent at the bid ding of Moses, while tho hand itself, thrust Into his bosom, became white with leprosy, and thrust in again, be came sound once more. Ono other miracle, the turning of water into blood, was definitely promised. Fourth Objection, Moses' Slowness of Speech. Moses foresaw that tho great task would requlro much talk ing, and ho was not an orator. An swer: "Who hath made man's mouth?" was Jehovah'B grand reply. Doubtless if Moses had accepted tho assurance, God would have developed tho ora torical power that ho certainly pos sessed, and ho would not havo been obliged to share with another tho glory that God meant for him alone. The Great Task Is Begun. Ex. 4: 18-31; chaptors 5 and C. Obtaining Jethro's consent to his return, and leaving his wife and children In their safe homo, Moses sot out upon his porllous undertaking. IIo was met by Aaron, and tho two old men, after an affectionate greeting, formed their plans for tho campaign that was to mean so much to tho world. BACKACHE IS KIDNEYACHL.

"The reason why I know I'm the first white man that over saw it," he said, "is that it baBn't got any patent medicine signs on it." Regretting thnt he couldn't sparo the time to stop and dis cover the gold that lay hidden all around him, he took a parting look at tho snowy summit of the peak and re sumed his toilsome march. Sheer white goods, In fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to tho way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beau ty. Home laundering would bo equal ly satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will bo pleasantly surprised at the Improved appearance of your work. His Favorite Descent. "But why don't you care to tatfb children?" asked the lady who was hunting for a flat. "Because they take up too much room In tho elevator," grumbled the despotlcal janitor. "Well, my little boy won't use the elevator. Will that satisfy you?" "No; if he don't use the elevator ho will scratch up tho steps every time he conies down." "But he won't come down the steps." "What? He won't come down the steps?" "No; he will slide down the banisters." "Whiskers" v. word formerly used to designate tne hair on tho up per lip. Scott more than once speaks of "whiskers on tho upper lip" and so does Defoe in "Robinson Crusoe." Johnson defined a "whisker" as the Lair growing on the upper lip or cheek unshaven; a mustachlo." It seems to have taken its name from a fancied resemblanco to a Bmall brush, to "whisk" properly meaning to sweep, and a "whisker" having been a par ticular kind of feather brush also, in the slang of a former time, a switch or rod. In tho seventeenth century a "whisker" signified among other things a brazen He, a "whopper." One Redeeming Feature. A youthful New York artist recently invited a friend to dinner In her stu dio. As the bachelor maid's skill was greater in mixing colors than in ca tering to grosser tastes, the dinner was something-to gnash one's teeth at and upon. The roast chicken 'was tough, the potatoes were underdone, the pineapple salad was pithy; In an guish of mind, the young hostess sank to the depths of apologizing. "Tho dinner was delightful, I assure you," said her guest, a charming worn on who would cheerfully have perish ed at the stako rather than utter a tactless word: "I have rarely tasted such tender gravy." DR. TALKS OF FOOD Pres. of Board of Health. "What shall I eat?" is the dally in quiry tho physician is met with I do not hesitate to Bay that in my judg ment, a largo percentage of disease is caused by poorly selected and improp erly prepared food. My personal ex perience with the fully-cooked food, known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to speak freely of Its merits. "From overwork, I suffered several yea s with malnutriton, palpitation of the heart, and loss of Bleep. Last summer I was led to experiment per sonally with the now food, which I used in conjunction with good rich cow's milk. In a Bhort time after I commenced its use, the disagreeable symptoms disappeared, my heart's ac tion became steady and normal, tho functions of the stomach were proper ly carried out and I again slept as soundly and as well as In my youth. "I look upon Grape-Nuts as a per fect food, and no ono can gainsay but that It has a most prominent place in a rational, scientific system of feeding. Any one who uses this food will soon bo convinced of tho soundness of tho principle upon which It Is manufac tured and may thereby know tho facts as to its truo worth."

A remarkable wedding has lately taken placo nt Naples, remarkable bo cause of the extreme youth and alert ness of tho happy couple. When Ce lestlno Giordano, aged 15, with Glcclla Nappl, his chosen bride, went to tho registry offico to be married, tho com missioner was very loath to perform the ceremony, for tho pair had not reached the age limit prescribed by the civil code. The ypung folks had ovidently expected to havo to over come difficulties to tholr union, for while the commissioner was hesitat ing as to what ho should do, they b prang a surprise on him nnd settled the matter by producing a royal de cree of dispensation, which they had obtained direct from the king. This being proved gonulno the chfldren wore Joined to wedlock in tho pres ence of their parents and a largo gath ering of interested spectators. BABY ITCHED TERRIBLY.

MISS JULIE FLORENCE WALSH WOMEN SUFFER Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, know ing well that they ought to have immediate assistance. How many women do you know who aro perfectly well and strong? The cause may be easily traced to some feminine derangement which manifests itself in depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere or do anything, backache, dragging sensations, flatulency, nervousness, and sleeplessness. These symptoms are but warnings that there is danger ahead, and un less heeded, a life of suffering or a serious operation is the inevitable result. The best remedy for all these symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made from nativo roots and herbs. No other medicine in the country has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. No other medi cine has such a record of cures of female ills. Miss J. jj vaisn, oi dsa vv. 30th St., New York City, writes: "Lydia B.
