Terms of Sale All sums of $10 and under, cash rael had in their number Joshua and Caleb, of whom we will hear later. They were gone for forty days and as Cannaan was but a small place they had an opportunity to find out much regarding the country. When they had returned they re ported that the land was a goodly land, with rich soil and one veritab ly flowing with milk and honey. Still ten of the band of spies said that the people were large and that the Israelites would not be able to overcome the inhabitants of the land. while two, Caleb and Joshua contend ed that with the fact were a dis contented lot. would not listen to the two men, but did not listen to the report of the other ten. and so did not go up to possess the land. For this reason they condemned them selves to remain in the wilderness: until the men might die off, ad an other generation come who were more self-respecting and confident than they. They stayed in the wild erness for thirty-eight years, and there remained but two men who were oVer twenty years of age when they crossed the Red Sea. Then Moses who was now one hun drpd and twenty years of age, and while he had been a wonderful man had d!sobyed Jehovah, was called upon Mt. Nebo to be given a glimpse of the promised land, and on Nebo he was allowed with his rye undimmed with the years, to see the land which was to be the land of the children of Israel, and there he died. The song written said: Could we but climb where Moses stood. And view the landscape o're. Not Jordan's streams of death's cold flood. Could fright us from the short. Moses died and was buried by the angels of Jehovah, and the command fell to the new leader, Joshua, who was Intrusted with the task of go ing over the Jordan river and pos sessing the land. The poet has written: "On Nebo's lonely mountain on this side Jordan wave. In the vale of the land of Moab, there lies a lonely grave. No man dug that Scpercher, no man saw it e'er, For the angels of God upturned the sod and laid the dead man there." After the children of Israel had mourned for Moses for thirty dayp the Lord appeared to Joshua, and said to him "Arise and go over thi? Jordan." This they did with the Lord sepa rating the waters, and making them stand while the Israelites passed over. We studied next how the hosts of Israel passed aroxind the walls of Jericho, and they fell down, and the city was taken. Then later when Achan stole the wedge of gold, the Israelites were beaten in battle teaching that when the people were not square with God, they received punishment for their lack of faith and disobedience, for God had told them not to take of anything from the Cannanites but for the use of the house of Jehovah, but their love for gold was greater than their de sire to be obedient to Jahovah. Following this Joshua called the people together and had them renew their covenent to the Lord, then was there peace and phosperity again. After years they fell away and it was under Gideon that they were un der servitude to the countries sur rounding them, and were delivered by Gideon and the three hundred men, this for the reason that Jehovah wanted them to understand that they were the especial children of his and that he was the one that was fight ing the battle for them. Out of these troublous time3 came one of the very beautiful books of the Bible filled with tenderness and love, and giving the student a glimpse of the line through which was to come the Christ the Savior of the world. This story was that of Ruth and Naomi and her husband, Elime lich, who had lived at Bethlehem, when there had come a drouth, and with their two sons, Chillion and Mahlon moved to the east and located in the land of Moab, where they liv ed for ten years, and during this time Chillion marries Orpha, a beautiful young woman and goodly withal, while Mahlon married Ruth, the heroine of this story. During these years Elimelich had died, as well as the two sons, thus wfco was the father of David, who was the twenty-eighth grandfather of the Christ. Now during the gen eration which intervened, we will study during the lessons which are to follow. Last week we studied about the birth of the Master, and how he was born in Bethlehem in a manger in the stable, that he might know form real experience the trials and the adversities which come to the poor of which he was the very epi tome, for, he himself said "Birds have their nests and the foxes have holes but the son of man hath not where to lay his head.'' To you who would know the real connection of the beginning of the lessons of this cuarter and study them to the be ginning of the quarter which is to follow read consecutively the books of Joshua, Judges and into First Samuel to the beginning of the reign of Saul which will follow this lesson, beginning the first of the year. Then you will got a real idea of the les sons through which we have just passed and have a conception of the reasons why, the children met with the many reverses which they did and how they prospered and were secure from their "enemies when they did obey the voice of the Lord. Get why the men under Gideon were reduced to the bare three hun dred before they were allowed to go to battle. We will study that beautiful story of Ruth, you might read the book of Ruth, which is a short one, a number of times and you will get something good from every time that you read it for it has many stories to tell. You will find why Caleb was given Hebron, and also why he asked for the place which was wrought with so many difficulties, and also who the fifteen judges were and where each figured, and why it was neces sary that they should arise at the particular time when they did. This study will give all who take it a better understanding for the lessons which will follow. It may be a strenuous drill but you are the bet ter for it.
