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.

One Hundred Years Ago.
Gen. Zebulon Pike was discovering
the peak that bears his name. "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." Read, "Tho Road
to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a
Reason."
ONCE THE PATH WAt SMOOTH.
Discard That Old Adage About the
Course of True Love.
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.

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. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been of inestimable value in
restorinc mv health, I sufTernil frnm -fomnin Nic
