CRISIS OF THE WAR
Story of the Famous Battle of
Gettysburg, Fought Fifty
Years Ago.
LOSS OF LIFE WAS FEARFUL
Goth Armlet Struggled Bravely, and
the Confederates Were Conquered
Only After Three Days of
Bloody Conflict
Fifty years ago nearly 165,000 Amer
icans met on tho field of Gettysburg,
And for threo days fought ono of tho
greatest battles of history. Gen. Rob
ert E. Leo's army of somo 84,000
southerners which had invaded the
north was met there and overcomo by
about 0,000 Federal troops under tho
command of Gen. George G, Meade,
and tho tido of fortuno In the Civil
war, which up to then had often fa
vored tho south, was turned. There
after the Confederacy was on tho de
fensive. Though tho south lost tho battle,
(hero was nothing to choose between
their bravery in tho conflict and thnt
of tho northerners. Both nrmlcs
(ought with valor and stubbornness,
and tho losses In dead aud wounded
wero tremendous.

Roynolds, sunt uhead to feel out the
oneray, arrived at Gettysburg tho eve
ning of Juno 31, and In the fighting
which began early tho next day, was
killed. Gen. Abner Uoubleday, who
succeeded him, was forced back to
Seminary Rldgo, after hard fighting,
and then had to abandon that posi
tion, so that the first day of the bat
tlo was in reality a Confederate vic
tory. That night Meade ordered the
entire Union army to Gettysburg, and
by next morning tho two armies were
confronting each other along a ten
mile lino of battlo.
Lee ordered Longstrcct to turn the
left flank of the Federal army by tak
ing Little Round Top, but Sickles do
'fended that position so stubbornly
that Long8treot's movement was
checked, Peach Orchard, Cemetery
Hill, Culp's Hill and The Devil's Den
were tho scenes of desporato fighting,

Tho piosperouH favor of tho kliiR'B

In chnptnr 1:7 wo see that Israel was
(a) "fiultftil," (b) "Increased In num

This was In fulfillment of God'H prom
ised blessing (Geu. V2:'2, 3). It ex
cited the envy of tho Kgyptlans, how
ever, and they began to "deal wisely"
(v. 10), neo I Cor. 1:19, and eventual

In that it would cripple Israel, keep
them in slavery and effectually pro

How frequently man Is deceived. A

upon tho possible ensuing chnugcH In

another child Is born unheralded In
somo humblo homo thnt God raises
up to hct aside tho schemes of men.
Attention has been called to tho hum
blo marrlago (v. 1) of Amrnm nnd
Tochebed (ch. C:20) nnd tho Import
ant outcome. No marrlago Is trivial.
It does not appear that to cast tho
malo children into tho river was an
edict when Aaron wns born. Though
humbly born Moses wns nobly born
and his parents thought nioro of their
duty to God than tho edicts of man.
Moses wa& a "godly child" (v. 2, ActH
7:20 It. V. mnrg. nnd Hob. 11:23 11.
V.). That Is, ho was without blemlsh,
well pleasing to tho cyo, "fair to God."
His parents must lmvo entertained
tho hopo that ho wns to bo tho deliv
erer of Israel and taught him so to
bcliove, seo Acts 7:25.
II. The Child in Danger, vv. 3-6.
At threo months of ago (Acts 7:20) II
was no longer possible to hldo the
child Moses. Howevertnstcnd of his
being cast Into tho river ho is cast
upon tho river. Jochcbed knew of tho
dellvera e of Nonh nnd It 1b prob
able that her meditation upon this
suggested to her tho adopted plnn, for
eho made her nrk somewhat after
the Ian Noah followed, Gen. 6:14.
Sho also knew of tho habits of Pha
raoh's daughter and planned accord
ingly. It wnB a perilous risk to com
mit her child to tho crocodllo infested
river, but sho trusted Jehovah (Heb.
11:23) and God honored her faith, as
events demonstrate.
God's Plan.
It seems a trivial Incident for this
daughter of a king to indulge in a,
bath and to find this rudo pitch cov
ered ark at tho river's brink. Yet
who can comprehend Ills ways? She
sent ono of her servants to Investi
gate. Seeing so many strango faces
tho child begins to cry; how very
ordinary, yot how wonderful when
considered as a part of God's plan for
tho redemption of a race
III. The Child Delivered, vv. 7-10.
From tho monuments of Egypt wo aro
able to study Pharaoh and his court.
Ills word was supreme. At this op
portuno moment under God's direc
tion, tho cry of a child is used to set
asldo Pharaoh's word nnd to turn tho
courso of history. Tho tears of tho
babo found their wny into tho heart
of this princess of the royal house and
thus tho deliverer enmo from tho sys
tem from which ho wob to Bet his
brethren free. God knew thnt among
thoso frivolous Egyptian slaves there
was nono properly fitted to caro for Ilia
own. So It is that tho waiting sister
offered to securo a Hebrow woman
to caro for tho child, perhaps accord
ing to a pre-arranged plan with her
mother. Tho plan Is successful and
tho very best nurso posslblo was se
cured. Tho only nurso properly fitted
nnd God-endowed for tho rearing of a
child 1b its own mother. Perhaps It
was Pharaoh's infamous decree that
led his daughter to send her now
found treasuro away with a Hebrew
woman with tho promiso of wages
(v. 9). At nny rato, Pharaoh Is set at
naught in his own household and his
edict worked a blessing to Jochubcd.
It was most certainly during theso
plastic years that Moses was Instruct
ed concerning God, Abraham and
Isano and God's covenant to theso ths
fathers of his race, and to look for
ward for Him who should 'deliver
Israol. Soo Acts 7:25 and Heb. 11:24
2G. God providentially separated tho
Israelites from Intcrmarrlago with the
Egyptians, a fact which saved them
rrom deterioration and effeminacy.
The absolute Impossibility, humanly
Mpoaklng, of their deliverance enabled
God to end their affliction nnd de
liver to them His promised Inheri
tance. The hour haB now arrived for
deliverance, all that Is needed Is v
leader and In His own way Ho is pre
paring that leader. Mobcs was neith
er killed nor enslaved. Tho venture
some faith of Moses' parents In sptt
of nil appearances preserved tho lii
of their babe.
