It seems lonely since the members of Synod have gone to their homes. Between 50 and 60 men were in at tendance. In addition to the regular delegates there were also 15 or 20 others present from out of town. The weather was fair, the program was good and all were pleased. The pas tor desires to give public expression to all who contributed in any way toward the success of the occasion. Last Sabbath morning a rising vote of thanks was given to the members of the Christian church for the use of their church building which made it possible for the delegates to take their meals together.

Psalmes 116:15. ,' The Beginning of Civilization. From the dawning of the history of , the world, has there been progess ' made, and there have been epochs in the advancement of the inhabitants of the world. God spoke into existenc j the heavens and the earth, and in the j beginning the earth was without from and was void, and darkness cov ered the face of the deep, and gross darkness the people. From age to age the people have gained in knowledge, and at this time the world should be at its best, with justice and love governing the ac- j tions of all people. The world sinned; i and the people were distroyed; then : they multiplied again and sinned even o a r iov o clnnino' nnur whon we make something esle our god than I tho one great Jehobah, the creator of the entire universe, whose contempla tion fills us with wonder and awe. To reclaim the world and to have a people peculiar to Himself, God call- Ahraham f mm nmnnpr thp lfnm- n f rhai,w n-hn Hid not ;know God. not caring to acknowledge 'Him as the one central cause of all .things. It was the exercise of great: faith which led, Abraham from among ! his kindred to a land which he did ' not know at the command of the Lord. When Joseph was sold into Egypt it was the allowance of a plan where by God in His infinite wisdom was creating in his cwn time a nation, who should be peculiar to his worship and obedient in the end to His laws. It was thought this race that should come in later years that Savlous who should redeem the world from error and sin, this the Christ, the Saviour, ot mankind. When there had been( even under very great hardships aS they were in slavery, a number of people enough for the forming of a nation which should be the salt which I should season the world, God sent Moses, whom He had prepared with years of education for the purpose of ; leading these peaple out of bondage i and make a nation of them. While . Moses was a wonderful man and most : ly because He trusted in Jehovah, he had a Herculian task before him, for, for forty years, they complained, re belled, murmered and were much dis satisfied even when the Lord was feed ing them and leading them in the best of ways, and for their rebellion, J they were confined in a wilderness Just as securely as anyone was every J confined inside of stone walls. The : most bitter bondage is fear and su-j perstition coupled . with ignoranc. j The children of Israel, has passed sentence cm themselves, and were not : allowed to be liberated until 603,000 j of them perished in the wilderness,) this number of grown men not taking ' in consideration the women and chil dren who perished. Our story is prl-j marily about the death of Moses who I led the children of Israel out of the; ! wilderness not alone of stunted trees and barren rocks, and a land which was barren of anything which was de sirable, but from a condition of mind where they could not recognize the Great Jehovah as the source of all ; good. They had, with their fathers, lived in adject slavery until they had not the minds of free men, and ; were afraid of their own shadows, and fancied things which were their masters. To the end that they might be freemen and have an adequate faith' ,in the eternal source of their very I life, God the creator and preserver of the universe. Because they sinned in rejecting the offer of the occupa tion of the land of Cannaan, which waa promised to Abraham, first by Je- hovah, upon one eternal proposition ' and which has ever been the cause of. the upbuilding and the fall of man , kind. That when they obeyed and , worked with the Lord they prospered, -and when they forgot Him and went, the other way, they were punished im all the ways which punishment can! i come to a child of disobedience. j ; When 'the children of Israel failed' to work in co-operation with God, ! they were punished and Moses, the representative of the Great Jehovah, and of the people to Him, interceded with God for the children of Israel, and said if you cannot reconcile them LOOK! - LOOK! - LOOK!

STIBALi Telephone No. 3 and bring them into a condition where they can be forgiven, blot my name out of the book of life. He was willing and did in the end give his life for the people like the Saviour of mankind did in the latter times. When Moses was one hundred and twenty years of age, and had given of Jiis very life for them he was taken into the mountain, where the Lord was to call him home. Here he was shown the Promised Land with all its glory for his eye was undimmed and his physical forces unabated. Then was he called home, and was not allowed to enter the earthly promised land, on account of his Bin at Kadesh Barnea, when with impatience he ask ed the people, "Must we bring water out of the rock," assuming that the power was his as well as the Lord's, when he was but his embassador. How sublime the departure of this servant of the Most High God, from the earth, when he was called to leave the scenes of his labors with the chil- dren of Israel, whom he had worked 1' 8o,l0ng'Jlnd sacrificed so much and had given his very life of one hundred ana twenty years oi it I Thn nnut hna tnlH nf thfa pvent In his way when he said: On Nebo's lonely mountain. On this side Jordan wave. In the vale of the land of Moab, There lies a lonely grave; And no man dug that sepelchur, And no man saw it e're, For the Angels of God Upturned the sod And laid the dead man there. This was the grandest funeral That ever passed on earth, But no one heard the trampings Or saw the train go forth. And had he not high honors The hillside for his pall To lie in state, while Angels wait With stars for tapers tall And the dark rock-pines, like toss ing plumes Over his bier to wave. And God's own hand in that lonely land, To lay him in the grace? Indeed this was a grand departure of this wonderful man after his work .had been completed and he had had to do with the selection of the one .who was to take the lead of the chil dren and take them Into the land for which they, had started forty years before. The selection bf Joshua, one of the spies who was willing to go against the inhabitants of the land with God on his side and redeem the land from Idolatry and sin. Wheii in the latter years of life Moses saw the fulfilment of the life work under the guidance of Jehovah, coming to a realization, he could well lie down to that rest which waa to be the reward for a long and well spent life. Moses .was Indeed a great man, viewing him as men look upon men and their actions and far greater when he by the direction of the Father of all underwent the rebuffs and the near stonings, enduring the murmerings of the children of Israel, when they were dissatisfied with the blessings from the loving Father, and 11 has many a poet and sage given uia mu uouor, ueu ue meenijr . am died within eight of that Inheritance which, denied to him, be came the home of his unfaithful brethren.
