Golden Text: "Jesus said unto
them. 'I am the Bread of Life.'
John 6:35.
Bread in the Wilderness
After the escape of the children of
Israel from the hands of the Egyp
tians thru the miraculous separation
;of the Red Sea, they came into a
valley on the east side of this nociy
of water, .which was very level and
extended back from the water several
miles. Here it was they first halt
ed on their journey, as after a short
period of travel in this hot country,
they became very dry and found it
necessary to have water to quench
their thirst. Hence there was great
rejoicing when they came' to a spring,
but although the water was abun
dant in quantity it with impregnated
with nitre and the people could not
drink it because it was so bitter.
The Lord came to their rescue
however, commanding Moses to cut
down a tree and dip it into the
spring for the purpose of sweetening
the water and making it so it could
be used. This was a bitter experi
ence for the Israelites, but proved a
valuable lesson in the one great thing
which their 6tay of forty years in the
wilderness was to teach them to be
come a nation of freemen and a na
tion that should worship Jehovah as
the one and only true God.
From this spring, which is called
Merah or Hawwarh. they went a few
miles farther io Elim. where they
found many wells and an abundance
of shade for there were seventy palms
and they were well pleased with the
blessings bestowed upon them after
their hard experience at Merah.
This place was a plane about 30
miles in length and terminated in a
ridge running from the east to the
shore of the sea, forming a promo
tory butting into the sea. When the
assemblage departed from Elim. they
came to this ridge, which ended the
plains of Shur and passing over the
ridge, they entered the wilderness of
sin, which was much like the one
they had just left, but wooded. Here
the plane was narrower, but some
forty miles in length extending along
the sea shore to the south.
As they journeyed thus, they met
with another hard spot in their
journeyings in that they ran out of
something to eat, and in a barren
country, for they had brought w-ith
them" supplies which lasted until the
fifteenth day of the second month
out, which would be about six weeks.
When the food was exhausted they
complained to Moses, telling him that
they were supplied with good things
to eat. from the flesh pots of Europe,
before starting out on this hazardous
undertaking.
These grumblers made life miser
able for the leader who had secrificed
for them and had wrestled with the
Great Jehovah in prayer for them.
As the food supply grew scarcer,
their complainings became continual.
Then with the beginning of today's
lesson text, the Lord said unto Moses,
"I have heard the murmurings of the
Children of Israel. Speak to them
saying, 'At eventide ye shall eat
flesh, and in the morning ye shall be
filled with bread: and you shall know
that I am Jehovah, your God.' "
And it came to pass that at even
tide the qualis came up and covered
the camp; and in the morning the
dew lay round about the camp. And
when the dew that law on the ground
was dried up. behold, upon the face
of the wilderness, a small round
'.thing, small as boar frost lay scat
tered about on the ground. And
I when tbe children of Israel saw it,
they said one to another, "What is
this strange thing?" for they knew
not what it was. And Moses said.
"It is bread which Jehovah has given
you to eat. This i the thing which
Jehovah hath commanded. With the
jidea, which Jehovah had in mind,
'since the creation of the world, and 1 1
.this was but a portion of tbe great jl
plan that man should do his portion
in earing for .himself, for the race .
and in its government, that he should
be instrumental in the salvation of;
i .1 ; 4U . . i -
me prupie anu iu me git-eti jjiciu ui h
God in the embracing of the earth.:
the universe and heaven itself, for in '
the beginning God created man af-j
ier his own linage aiiu iu me iiiittK'- !
of God created he him. j
Moses then delegated to the people'
by the direction of God, the matter
of caring for the ordinary duties of
life.
"Gather ye of it every man ac
cording to his eating; and omer a
head, according to the number of
your persons shall you take it, every
man for them that are in his tent."
And the children of Israel did so
and gathered some more, some less.
There were differences in the sizes
of the families and they needed dif
ferent amounts of eatables and so it
was natural that some took more and
some less. Those who gathered more
than they needed for the coming day.
it spoiled, becoming' rotted and filled
with worms, although for the day in
which it was gathered, it was the
most wholesome of food.
When it was measured with an
Omer (the standard of measurement
of those days, being the equivalent of
pis pints or three quarts) those who
gathered much had only an omer and
those who gathered less still had an
omer. The gathering was sufficient for-
their use, and each was expected to
gather according to the number eat
ing at his house or tent.
For well nigh forty years, during
the remainder of the time they were
in the wilderness the children of
Israel did partake of this manna and
the quails sent them by the Great Je
hovah. Eaeh morning the manna
was gathered for that day, and if
someone thought to gather more than
was needed against another time, it
was spoiled and could not be used.
This rule held good except on tbe
sixth day. when they were required
to gather an extra amount, it being
double the amount ordinarily gath
ered and then on the Sabbath there
would be none appear.
Tbe lesson was that while Jehovah
provided for the wants of the child
ren of Israel who numbered thous
ands, they were to obey bis command
to love him and to exercise every
precaution to obey all the command
ments which would later be given
them, and of which we shall study in
a few' weeks. In the creation of t he-
world, God had in mind, as he also
did when he created man in his own
image, that man was to work in con
junction with himself in the fulfilling
fo the plans of the universe.
When the world was about to bo
destroyed by the flood, he bad Noah
build the ark in which he and his
wife and his sons and their wives
were saved. He had Noah superintend
the reception of tbe animals which
were received in the ark that the
species of every kind might be s:.vd.
God had Noah provide subsistance for
all on the ark, both animals and hu
man beings, until the waters should
subside. God specified what would be
needed, but while it was furnished
in nature, man was to collect it and
place it in storage for use and super
intend its distribution during the
long days and weeks when all were
to be confined in the ark.
On account of the shedding of so
much blood during the reign of
David he was forbidden to build tbe
house of God. the tabernacle, but he
was required to collect the materials,
for God when he made the world and
furnished the world with all the
means of making a living and devel
oping the race to the highest civili
zation, he expected man to do his por
tion of the work.
.When Christ came to this world
and gave his life for the sins of
mankind. He and the Father expected
man to do certain things to further
the plans of the creator of tbe uni
verse. While Christ, the savior of the
world, who redeemed mankind from
their sins, if they would but accept,
required the disciples in the first
place to carry the message to the
world for their salvation, and since
then some one is expected to do 1 is
portion that the world may be saved.
In the exact proportion as mankind
has done this, has progress been made
in this dereetion.
God has said. "Muzzle not the ox
that treadeth out the corn, for the
laborer is worthy of his hire." In
this world all are expected to do th'ir
part, and where they can and do not.
they have no guarantee of anything
to eat. The man who says. "The
world owes me a living and I am po
ins: to have it," is also entitled to do
his portion towardthe production of
that living.
God fed the people with manna and
quail meat for the forty years they
were in the wilderness and during
all that time had Moses, his servant,
developing them into a nation pecul
iarly adapted to the worship of Je
hovah in spirit and in truth.
When the world became apostate
and sinned as it did. in the later
years, and became sinful, God pun
ished the Israelites for their disobedi
ence bv allowing the ten tribes to be!
carried away, never to come back
again, and the tribes of Judah and
Benjamin he allowed to become
slaves again for a period of seventy
years before they were permitted to
return and again build Jerusalem!
and re-create th Jewish nation. j
When sin had forfeited the lives,
tf the people he sent his Son. Jesus
the Christ to redeem the world. In j
this he sent, as per the golden text
of our lesson, the real true bread of
life down from heaven, even Jesus j
the Christ. . I
The redemption is ours, but it is
man's job to carry it to the world. I
Frank Toman was among those go
ing to Omaha today where he will
spend a few hours in that city with
his son. Albert Toman, at the hos
pital where he is recovering from the
effects of his operation.
