Bible School Sunday, July 7th "Moses" (Leader and Lawgiver) Exodus 24:3-8; 12-18. . ' - - This third quarter of 1935 is de voted to representative men and wom en of the Bible. The aim is, through a study of the lives of some men and women of the Bible, to discover the source of their spiritual power, to share their experiences, and to receive guidance for our own living. The greatest of all men born of woman, iri the Old Testament, covering a per iod of nearly four thousand shears of history, 13 certainly Mcses, the deliv ercr and lawgiver of Israel. Excluding the Lord Jesus, he wa3 the greatest character of all religious history next to the Apostle Paul. A fascinating study of this great man are hi3 character, his relation ship to God, the influences which molded his life, the crises of his life, and how they were met, his Journeys, Moses a3 an orator, Moses as a states man, Mose3 as a prophet, Moses as a man of prayer, Moses as a type of Christ. His father's name was Am rar.i, lm mother's Jochebed, both from the tribe of Levi. Born in slavery, 1572 B. C, the hand or Jehovah was extended over this unusual child, his preservation, his adoption by the daughter of . the King of Egypt, the thorough training for leadership (in all the "wisdom of the Egyptians,") Acts 7:22, make up the fir3t forty years of his life. But, with all this, lie remained at heart a Hebrew, thanks to his mother's early training. IIi3 second period of life is called the "period of discipline." He found a home with a priest in Median, Jethro, a man of singular attractiveness and strength, with a deeply religious spirit and wise judgment, all met in a happy combination. Mose3 married Jethro's daughter, Zipporah, which proved not to be a happy life. She was not in full sympathy with Moses, and caused him much grief. Two boys came to this ihome, Gershom and Elieser. For forty years, Moses roamed over and in the Sinai wilderness; in soli tude of the desert he walks with God, and hi3 fiery temper undergoes a change tending sheep requires pa tience. That was his second semester In school. It seems that, whenever God has ihad need of a great man for a great work, ho withdrew him for a while into the solemn sanctuary of the desert David, Elijah, Amos, John, the Baptist, and Paul, arc some. Here in the desert he had the ex perience of his life he met God. It was here he received the call for his life's work being then 80 years old. Tn-htv vears of schooling were re quired for the stupendous task. Toj frnould some 2,000,000 people, with! ;no schooling and no government of.

Miss Kaufmann gees later to New York to sail for her European trip. ft A Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock. Neb. their own, only the cruel Egyptian taskmaster to lord it-over them was more than any ordinary man could undertake, realizing that he raises four questions, to: wit: (1) He has no fame or power to deal with Pharaoh. God said He would go with him; (2) Israel would ask who sent him; "I am that I am" must suffice; (3) The peo ple would not believe Moses his cre dentials are his staff, it becomes a serpent, hi3 land leaprous. (4) He is not eloquent no public speaker; so Aaron is given him as companion. The third period of forty years finds him as deliverer and lawgiver. The greatest work of this remarkable man is. after bringing the Israelites out of Egj'pt, to give them the Law to govern their conduct towards God and their fellow men. It is well to study the awe-inspiring scenes that accom panied this event. Great preparations were made. An altar was built which represented God; twelve pillars unhewn stone were set up around the Altar, which represented the twelve tribes of Israel. A burnt sacrifice was pre pared and the blood was caught up in vessels the blood of the covenant half of it sprinkled on the altar, the other half on the people (or on the twelve pillars that represented the pecple?). Both parties binding them selves and sealing the compact with blood. The covenant is read by Moses and the people said: "All that Je hovah hath spoken will be do and be obedient." The second act in the drama fol lows: Mo3es is ordered to come up into thi; Mount. He is with God forty days and nights, in the cloud. Clouds play a great part in the economy of God. (a) God's covenant concerning tho rainbow, Gen. 9:13-16; (b) God lading Israel with a pillar of a cloud, Ex. 13:21-22; (c) A cloud resting on the Holy of Holies; (d) Jesus went home in a cloud; (e) and will come again in a cloud. Moses brings the two tables of stone, made and inscribed with the ten commandments a law never amended, never repealed, perfect, and for all men and for all time. Another forty year period is ended. Moses, now 120 years old, turns the leadership over to Joshua, who is well prepared to carry the work on. Mones' spiritual power came through hi3 intimate acquaintance with God, and a life of prayer. He prayed for the presence of God (Ex. 33:11-14). Ho asked for devine help to govern the rccplo (Numbers 11:11-15); that Mirriam might be healed from lep rosy (Num. 12:13). "The law was given by Moses, but Crace and truth came by Jesus Christ." (John 1:17). EAGLE HS ITEMS Verda Rockenbach visited relatives tn Elmwood last week.

Becker was looKing after seme business matters in Plattsmouth last Tuesday, meeting with the board of county commissioners regarding getting some understanding about a crossing which is desired to the big woods which Mr. Becker owns over on the river where the stone is being quarried and hauled away by tne companies working the quarries. The bridge which he had constructed there was washed out by the heavy rains. He had in mind going to the bottom of the creek where there is a solid stone strata and then building grade to the solid rock, but the task ... cAiiciisne anu as the general public is to benefit, Mr. Becker thinks the county should stand some of the expense. Theory Exploded Surely. Last year the weather was dry and very dry as to that, and many people ca.id that the usiner rf cn -.o..-. and electric lights and as well as the telephones had brought on a condi- UNION tion which prevented the rain falling as was desired. The season went through and the number of electrical devices were increased, then the spring came and with it the early summer and the rains came as well and now many are wondering if the rain is ever going to stop. Sure it will and we will want more rain not withstanding the radio, telephones and electric lights and whatnot of electrical devices and it rains and the heavens withhold rain, but man cannot cause it to rain or to stop raining. So use all the radios you de sire, the telephones, the electrical de vices, lights and whatnot and the seasons will come and go as they see fit Visiting in Omaha Monday. On last Monday Mesdames A. L. Becker, W. 11. Porter and Joseph Banning, all sisters and Mary Becker went to Omaha where they were visiting for the day and as well look ing after some shopping. Has some 25 Fcxes. A. L.

Lately he has found in this harbor he had some twenty-five or more red fcxes and they have the ;;tack of straw honeycombed and are happy in their home there. A party suggest ed killing them by shooting, but Mr. Becker says no, they are my foxes and I have a right to protect them v,s much as any other fanner has l is sheep, hogs cattle of fowl. Those foxes are an asset and he has as much right t6 them and to grow them and allow them to multiply on h land as any one has hogs, cattle or horses and there is not a fox code to compel him to cut off twenty or twenty-five per cent and who ever gets after them will have to account to Mr. Becker.
