This was pre-eminently a Gentle

One gentlemen of an inquisitive turn

there were some eight candidates ir.

agreed that the vote be given him.
When he had procured-the needed
ballots to be written by the voters,
and was ready he offered to wager
that no one could tell who the selec

taken up and the winner's name was
written on paper before the taking
of the vote. When however, it came
out he was the one selected it cost
him a quarter for his experience for
he lost the bet.

Selecting a Capable Leader
Reforming drunkards, rescuing a

or planting poor seed corn and giv

make something worth while come of
his labors may be commendible, but
really, is it the better pathway for ob

Now, do not get the idea that these
are not excellent endeavors and well
worth of one's effort, but why not
select the best material for the use
you have in mind. You would cer
tainly do that if you were construct

There was a popular song not so
many years ago in which the strain
ran. "The bird with the broken
pinion will never soar so high again."
Keeping oneself free from contam

the better way. On purchases two

image of whom man was create-d.
TIip c-rc-at Jehovah, the creator of
the entire universe, of man and the
shaper of his destiny, in selecting
great men and women for special
work, in ny line of endeavor, selects

ali possible to mar the ideal.
Moses, as we read, was a likely lad,
and God selected him for the very
purpose of leading two and a half
millions of slaves from the bondage
of Eg3pt. out into a wilderness, where
he was to make a nation of them to
fulfill the plan of God. in the recla
mation of a lost world.
Moses who had lived in the court?
of Egypt for forty years, studied in
the first place the very revelations of
the maker of the universe, through
of his parents, and to
added education in the
of the expression of his displeasure
over the injustice which the Egypt
ians had shown to his countryman,
and which led to the killing of an
Egyptian task master by Moses, re
sulted in his becoming an exile in a
Strang land. Here he meditated for
many years as to his relations to his
countrymen and as to how he was to
serve them.
Moses probably did not know that
he was there to digest the very facts
which he had learned and to acquire
more experience which would stand
him in good stead when the crucial
test should come, as well as a know
ledge of the country into which the
work would be staged. Thus was the
second forty years of the life of
Moses spent in the very manner in
which he was to spend anotlrer simi
lar period m the service 'of the
prestest of missions, the building of
a nation for the purpose of the ser
vice of the one great God, and under
his instruction and leadership.
Moses was in the wilderness of
Sinai, and away back on the hinder
most portion of the lands, which were
then, as now, a wilderness far from
civilization, and there, while he was
alone, the voice of God called to him
out of a burning Push, which Moses
had stopped to watch and to wonder
at, inasmuch as although it was afire
it was not consumer or burned.
God called to Moses saying, "Moses,
Moses!" As Moses looked on the bush
that burned and heard the voice of
God coming out of it, he answered.
"Here am I." Then said the Lord,
"Draw not thou hither, but remove
the shoes from off thy feet, for the
jr!ae whereon thou standest is holy
ground. Moreover, I am the God of
thy father, the God ofv Abraham, the
God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." !
Moses was afraid and hid his face,
for he was afraid to look on God.
Then saith the Ixird, "I have sure
ly seen the afflictions of my people
which are in Egypt, and have heard
their cry by reason of their taskmas
ters: for I know their sorrows. And
I am come down to deliver thtni out

A cry of the Children of Israel is come
g. ;unto me; ann 1 nave aiso seen me op
pression wnerein tne Egyptians nave
oppressed them. Come, now, there-

i Moses said unto God, "Who am 1
(that 1 should go to Pliaroah. and that
a I should bring forth the Children 1
Israel out of Egypt?"
i Then said God unto Moms. Cer
tainly. I will be with the', and this
'shall be a token unto thee that 1
ihave sent thee. When thou hast
bivusht forth the people out of Egypt
ye shall serve God on this mountain.
Then said Moses. "When I shall
come to the Children cf Israel, they
will net believe me (thinking of the
forty years he had already spent in
Crypt, and how he had been com
pelled to flee for his life for defend
ing one of the Israelites, and that
since then forty years had elapsed,
and he was out of step with the con
ditions obtaining there and asked
what he should say, whe n they should
ask. "What is your God's name?"
Then said God unto Moses, "I Am
that I Am; tell them that I Am hath
sent you." .
Continuing his command. God said.
"Go gather the heads of the tribes
of the children of Israel together and
ray ur.to them. I have been sent by
the Father of the children of Israel,
the God of the .Hebrews, and I am t;)
take you to a land flowing with, mill;
and honey.' Then go to the Kiiig of
Egypt and say unto him. 'The Lord
God of the Hebrews hath met with us
and now let us go, we beseech thee,
on a three days' journey into the wil
derness that we may there sacrifice
unto the Lord our God.' The king
of Egypt will not let you go, and I
will stretch my hand out over the
land and will smite the Egyptians
with plagues until they shall be will
ing to expel you out of the land, but
not until they shall have understood
that the lyord is God of all the uni
verse. While the very text of this
lesson does not reach to the time
when they were to be expelled, and
to the time of the Passover whieh fol
lows this lesson, the lesson ends there
which includes the various inter
views of Moses and Aaron with the
K'cg of Egypt, in which they receive
the promise of the king to allow the
people to go only to again hold them,
until all the plagues were brought on
the Egyptians, and at last they were
glad to have the Israelites depart and
even loaned them all the goodn they
desired.
The plagues which were brought on
them included water in the Nile turn
ing to blood, frogs in their homes un
til the Egyptians could hardly live in
them, followed by the very dust of
the earth being turned into lice,
then swarms of flies to thick that
they could not get along with them
and enjoy the least speck of comfort.
Then came murain of hearts that
were both loathsome and killed the
animals. Tin's was followed by boils
on all the people and very previous
indeed were they. A destructive hail
then destroyed the crops as well as
killing much live stock. After this
came swarms of locusts, which were
most destructive and following them
as Xo. 9 of the plagues was the per
iod of Egyptian darkness.
Plague number ten come-s in our
next lesson.
COLLEGES CHARGED
WITH WASTING TIME
Akron. O. "American colleges and
universities are illogical organiza
tions which waste at least a year of
each student's time because of fail
ure to classify the students accord
ing to their abilities." says Dr. George
F. Zook. president of the Municipal
University of Agron.
"Boys and girls from all walks of
life and of every variety of intell
igence are being admitted without
proper classification of the course tn
be pursued," he asserts. "We do a
bad job of lumping them together.
" A survey made In the Massachu
setts schools showed that only 40
per cent of the students who intend
ed to attend college were likely to
succeed if they should attend."
Dr. Zook explained to the students
of the university's summer school, to
whom he spoke, of the need for clas
sification, that it is the duty of the
secondary schools to induce those'
who have the ability to do college
work to attend college, and in some
way to encourage those who do not
take special vocational work to fit
them for earning a lirlihood.
A change in methods of admission
at the Municipal University at Akron
takes effect next fall. Xo entrance ex
aminations will be given applicants
for admission, and the entrance rubs
will be changed to encourage the
ting of students into courses
which they are best adapted.
