Welshimef, who teaches a large Bible school class in Canton,' Ohio, as well as preaches at the Christian church there, and writes the Sunday school lesson for the Lookout, in his presentation of the lesson so nearly agrees with what wej think is one of the best, we are steal- ing the entire lesson and here it is we know you will like it: j "Evil days have come upon Israel. The people had persuaded Aaron to lead them in the making of a golden 1 calf, which was to represent God a ' direct violation of the command so recently given, forbidding the mak-, ing of graven Images. God called Is-, rael a stiff-necked people, and His wrath waxed hot against them. Moses, ' hearing the shouts of the people, and' knowing their folly, broke the tab-1 lets of stone on which the law was written. He also broke up the calf , and burned it with fire, and, grinding it to powder and strewing it upon the ; water, he made the children of Israel J drink of it. The" sons of Levi caused to fall In one day about three thous and men. The people were then ask ed to consecrate themselves to Je - hovah Moses then offered an inter- cesscry prayer in their behalf. Then came the command to lead the people toward the land of promise. They stripped themselves of all ornaments as they marched away from Mount Horeb. Here was a humble and hu - miliated people. They were stiff - necked, to be sure, hut they had been outdone, and their sins were upon their head. "Somewhat removed from the camp was a tent known as the tent of meet ing. Any one seeking Jehovah went out to that tent. And when Moses went into the tent, all the people arose and every man stood at his tent door and looked after Moses until he disappeared In the tent. Then, the pillar of .cloud came down and surrounded the tent door, while Jeiioyah spoke .to Moses. , He ; thea spoke as" friend to friend. Moses did not see His face, nor did the people see it. The cloud served as a pro tection. There, in the tent, was the great leader and mediator of the people, talking with Jehovah for their welfare. They Etood at their own doors with reverence, knowing that the hour was sacred when Moses was talking to God for them. It is quite probable from that custom we have our custom today, of all the peo ple standing with bowed heads and with reverence while another leads in the prayer of petition and thanksgiv ing to almighty God "In that wilderness march, with all of its ups and downs, the children of Israel have taught some fine lessons for the people of this day. Joshua, a young man, the son of Nun, who later became Moses successor, was with him in the tent, and when Moses re turned to the people Joshua remain ed. "God said to Moses: 'My presence shall go with thee and I will give thee rest.' A wonderful lesson of care and protection is shown in this story. An untrained, dependent peo ple were suddenly thrust out into the great open places. Laws had to be given, rules of conduct established, leaders selected and trained, and, in a word, they must fit themselves into a new society. Here great lessons of citizenship are being taught. Israel was in reality going to school. A great land awaited their coming, but they were not ready to inherit it. The tasks beyond the river were too large for them. Faith had to be es tablished, a virile character develop ed, and trust in Jehovah made strong. All of this was a long-drawn-out process, but it was necessary to the development; of the people. One is impressed with the patience which God manifested toward His erring creatures, and the constant need of a message from Jehovah to His child ren in manifest. On every occasion, Moses proved to be the right man. His was a wonderful faith. He never lost sympathy with his people, nor was he out of touch with them. He even prayed that he might be elimi nated if the blessings of Jehovah were to be withheld from those with in the camp. "Even in that early period worship is stressed. When the cloud surround ed the door and the people knew that Moses was talking with God, their . - . j t.:. own hearts were stirrea aca men worship was most helpful. A man who worships not today walks on thin ice. Worship is essential to keep in ttine with God, to meet the temptations of life and to come out triumphant in every conquest. "A significant statement is this: "Thou hast found favor in my sight. and I know thee by name. This was spoken of Moses. Favor had been found in the sight of God because Moses believed God, trusted Him, obeyed Him, was interested in tnei people of God and played the entire j tie son of Mr. and Mrs. Everett Good game honorably. Men today will be jn!; of this city, was operated on at in favor ot G6d who pursue the same, course, and their name will be known . to Jehovah. I Where is the glory of God?

HAS UNUSUAL ACCIDENT From Wednesdays Dniiy Last evening while Virgel Perry was driving west on Locust street near the viaduct on the Missouri Pa cific tracks over the street, he had a rather unusual accident befall his sedan and which was largely the fault of some boys who were playing along tho fmrl-s nn thp viarhict.
