GOLDEN text —“J mu » Mltb unto Ch«B,'I jun th« brood of Ufo.'wjobn <:*6, The Psalm of praise (Ex. 16) la fol­ lowed by the sorrows of sin. After leaving the bitter waters of Marah (I t:28-26) the Israelites encamped for a tlmb atiElim (v. 37). They then en­ tered the wilderness of sin This name la certainly suggestive for it was the sin of unbelief that lay be­ hind their murmurings. 1 . Despair, vv. 2, 3. We sometimes Censure the Israelites tor their com­ plaining within a month after their mlr&au&us deliverance from the. Red Sea, but If we examine ourselves closely we will not be surprised at their lack of faith nor at the Savior's delight when, he' discovered faith (Luke 7:9). Their song, Chapter 15, of deliverance has scarcely died on 'their lips when a new danger con­ fronts them, viz., that of privation. How many today fail at just this point, and think only of the “flesh-pots." They complained more over the priva­ tions of Cod's Service than over the slavery of Pharaoh, though as a mat­ ter of fact the man in Egypt does not have “bread to the full.” John 4:13,: Eccl. 1:8. Truly Moses and Aaron bad a* task on their hands for “tb£ whole congregation murmured." They had to bear the brunt of it all for they Were Cod’s visible .representatives (Pa. 69:9; Rom.' 15; 3). Human na­ ture is ever the same, Rather to die by the hand of Pharaoh with a fall stomach than' to live In a freedom which was accomplished by any priva­ tions. The trouble was that having everything done for them they lacked that moral backbone, that fixedness of purpose, which a great principle in­ spires and moves men to suffer and to overcome. The life of slavery in Egypt had made the Israelites craven.' God’s Answer. tl. Deliverance, vv. 4-10. Cod an­ swered their grumbling with a most gracious promise. He met their hitter cry. with a bounteous provision of bread- That they might know it was he who provided, God said " l will rain bread from heaven.” But to guard against oriental Improvidence or ex­ cess, they Were directed to gather a day’s portion for the day (v. 4 mars.) This provision was also to be, a .test to see if they would obey hid), “walk in my law, or no.” Some of them failed at the very first, and that which they1attempted to keep oVer spoiled, sec vv. 19, 20. To hoard la to lose, to use is to Increase,,. Pror. 11:24, 25. To hoard wealth, whether it he tem­ poral or spiritual, la to distrust Cod, and it was this very distrust which Cod was combating. It was a super­ natural gift and was a type of Christ, John 6:81^83, 35, The Wanna sustain­ ed life for a day at a.time; he, Christ, sustains.forever, John 6:E8. Notice, Cod did not place the manna in their mouths, each -must gather, appro­ priate, for himself, so also must they who feed on the bread of life, Christ Jesus, and as they were to gather dally, so also must we feed anew each day on Jesus, Matt 6:11. ■ Visible Proof. That the Israelites might realize fully that Moses and Aaron were not working some trick of necromancy, or taking advantage of some botanical or ornithological knowledge of the coun­ try, God revealed to all, at the break olday. hl* glory, v. 10; and fhat their descendants might see and know of Cod’s marvelous goodness and deliv­ erance, they were commanded to flU a vessel with manna as a visible con­ vincing proof (v, 32). Nor did this supply fail as long as It was needful, V. 35, Phil. 4:19. . III. Delight, w . 11-16. What emo­ tions must have filled the hearts of the Israelites when at evening they beheld the quails and in the morning the manna. The mighty God who brought them out of Egypt has again shown hts power. The manna was to teach them that “man doss not live by-bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the nfouth. of the Lord,” Dent. 8:2, 3, Do not lose time speculating upon What the manna was like, simply read vv. 14-37 and Num. 11:7, 8. Strangely enough not alt were satisfied.with the bread from heaven (Num. 21:5) but they had to eat it or die. Some cried out for the food of Egypt, (Num. 11:6, 6) even as today some who profess to be Chris­ tians are not satisfied with Christ. As against these feelings of delight there must have been a sense of rebuke (v. 9) when Cod through Aaron com­ manded the Israelites to "come near before the Lord,” IV. The Teaching. The gift of the manna taught the Israelltei that they must depend upon God. Man not only needs spiritual relationship but mate­ rial sustenance for the maintenance o f his life. The words of the golden text were spoken In connection with our Lord's feeding the multitude. He is able to provide for the physical, and also to satisfy the deepest spiritual needs of all who put their trust in him.

A real feudal island, where the inhabitants are ruled by rigid regu­ lations reminiscent of the middle age* and where even visitors have to conform to Spartan laws—sueh ia the island of Hewn, about four miles from Guernsey, Hern is only about eight miles in circumference, but kangaroos, run wild within its coniines, and tho inhabitants are not allowed to have either guns mj dogs. It is difficult to believe that Herm is a real island only a few miles from the English coast and not a dream island in the south seas invented by some fanciful novelist. It is leased from the British gov­ ernment by Prince Blueber, a de­ scendant o f the famous Waterloo Blucher. His residence stands on the Buramit of the island and can be seen from the sea for miles around. « There is only one landing place, and then one can only get ashore under certain' tides, No (me is per­ mitted to land without paying a fee, and people, have to give a rea­ son for their visit. Visitors' are only -permitted at Hem during the summer season from June to September.’ The law in this romantic feudal island is enforced by the chief boat­ man, who holds the office of con­ stable. As an emblem o f office he carries a miniature ebony silver mounted baton. People arrested are taken to a curious little stone pris­ on neiir the landing place, shaped like a beehive. Herm has forty in­ habitants,'', all dependents of the prince. ' ■• - • The most fascinating feature of the island is the herd of kangaroos, with a few rock wallabies, which leap about the^place as if in the heart of Australia. A /former -inhabitant. of Herm put two kangaroos on'the island. The present herd, several bundled in all, are their descendants,—Lon­ don Cor. Hew York Sun, pitcher's Tragedy. Connie Mack, who takes great pride in developing young pitchers and then prophesying how they will show up in. action, sent in one of his finds in an exhibition game not long ago. The slaughter of the young slab artist was pitiful to be­ hold. .At the end o f the second in- nj ag Co Jftie was somewhat peeved. “ V’ha t’ <t the mat.er with yon, son s” !if asked the youngster as kindly m» he could, which was hot remarkably kindly, , - - “ I—I debt seem to he able to get the hall over, the plate," said the pitcher sadly, "Yohh’e mighty right yon can’t get. it over the .plate," observed Mack, his pefevefi condition much aggravated,1 **And I’ll tell you why.

In his book, “ The Natural Food f n," IIoxeWard Carrington says the natural food of man is neither meat nor vegetables, but fruit and nuts, j*nd remarks: "One bf the chief caUtrclf of failure on the part of. tiros* who leave off meat and attempt to take up vegetarian­ ism is that they do nqt rightly bal­ ance their diet and’ do. not supply to the system the proper amount of protein food to take the place of that Which the meat supplied. Vege­ tarians, as a rule, eat far too much food. Under the impression that they must eat more in order to off- set’ihe supposed greSter nutritive value of meat, they eat far more than they should."

"Disaster" ia an astrological term meaning "unfavorable star," one of the many words that astrology-has bequeathed to the English lan­ guage. "Predominant," "ill star­ red," "in tli£ ascendant," are other instances, not to sp$ak of tiro ex­ pression "My stars!" Even “ influ­ ence" is really astrological, signify­ ing the flowing in upon human af­ fairs of the powex of some heavenly body. "Petrel” and "petrol” both descend from "petra," a rock. "Pe­ trol" comes directlyenough through “ petroleum,” rock oil, hut "petrel" through St. Peter, after whom the bird was named because it appeared to, walk upon the waves. With Thanks.
