HILDA SCHLAPHOF, News Reporter. Some Mountains of the Bible III MOUNT HOREB Deut. 5:2. In the great economy of God the time had come to bring His people out of . Egypt into the prom'sed land. The leader for this work had been in training for 40 years in Egypt to learn statecraft and the art of government, then 40 years a sheep herder in Median, where he learned patience, endur ance and leadership. All these quali ties of character were needed ' in the work Jehovah had for him to do the next 40 years. One day Moses led his flock- far into the desert, near Mount Horeb. Here Jehovah meets Moses. God ap pears to him in a burning bush. The bush represents the Israelites in Egypt; the burning, the misery and hard life in slavery; burning and not consumed, God's protecting care. Here a partnership was formed that was never severed. This was Holy ground for Moses; he could never doubt his call. In less than 2 months Moses led M A4.

This mountain, 1,500 feet in height, the middle one of three rcnks, was chosen of Jehovah as the plae of greatest moment a never-to-be-fcrgotten event in the life of this people. Here, after much prep aration, Jehovah gave his people a law that has never been abrogated, repealed nor changed to this day and is the fundamental law of all civi lized people. When we read under what natural phenomena, such as smoke, fire, lightning and thunder, this law was given, then we wonder ho v.- these people could ever forget. But such is the case with man today. A great catastrophy may frighten and terrify us, but it soon wears off and is forgotten. Every man ought to have an ex perience some time in his life where God writes His law Into his heart so indelibly that nothing can ever eradicate it. Every man has some time got to meet God. and that on Holy ground, where his life and con duct is changed; where he makes a full surrender to God, and is ready to go where God wants him to go. That blessed experience he can have by going to Mount Horeb. L. NEITZEL. Auction Sale Notice is hereby given that the C. R. I. & P. Ry.
