The good work is still moving on
in the name of God. Rev. Rhonenee,
pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church. Ave
nue A and Sixteenth streets, preached
from OxoduH, 11th chapter, a part of
7th verse. Text, ''Shall Not a Dog
Move Mis Tongue Against Man or
Beast.” Theme, "He That AVorketh
the Work of God Must be Submissive
to God." Moses was careful to do
what. God commanded him to do in
the land of Egvpt. Egypt, a celebrat
ed country in the northern part of
Africa; the land of Ham, the son of
Noah. Egypt, at the eastern part of
the editerranean Sea, that the He
brews called Mizralm. It Is now
called Misr by the Arabs. It is re
ferred to in the Scripture as "The
land of Ham.” These were the hours
of obedience. God spake unto Moses
and Moses said "Thus saith the Lord,
about midnight will I go out into the
midst of Egypt. And all the first
born in the land of Egypt shall die;
from the first-born of Pharaoh that
sitteth upon his throne, even to the
first-born of the maid-servant that is
behind the mill; and all the first-born
of beasts. And there shall be a great
cry throughout all the land of Egypt,
such as there was none like it, nor
shall be like it any more. But against
any of the children of Israel, shall
not a dog move his tongue against
man or beast. That ye may know
how that the Lord doth put a differ
ence between the Egyptians and Is
rael. Many other good things were
