V. Hendrickson, Pres. 1. L Holderman, Sec’] The securing of water at Mount Hof reb, the battle with the Amalekites and the visit o f Jetliro, Moses' father- in-law, are the intervening events be­ tween this and last week’s lesson, A suggestion as to the historicity of the Exodus story Is Indicated in verse 1 of the lesson. "In the third month,” these are not the words of an impos­ tor but pf the careful historian. The place, Mount Sinai, was a familiar one to Moses, It was at the base of this,' range or mountains, “at the back of the desert,” that he had met and received his commission from God. (Ex, 3".1-12; Acte 7:80, 38.) Let ub consider the entire chapter, The Highest Source. I. “A peculiar treasure,” vv. 1-6. Thus far there has been no law to guide the'Israelites except the word of God by the mouth of the prophet. As a nation-they must have law^ and the proper time has now arrived to promulgate those laws. But It is nec­ essary to impress the nation with the source, the sacredness and- the strength of law; Its source is the highest—-God; its sacredness is in the nature of its source—God; its strength is in the matter of their obedience. “Moses went up”, and “ the Lord called." "When we seek the place of separation from man and the' place of seclusion with God we may expect to hear him calling us, (Jas. 4:8.) Once before God had called to Moses in this place (3:4)’ and Moses was taken by surprise. Now it is the man of experience who joyfully seeks the Lord- that he may receive a message for his waiting people,. Got. begins by reminding him of hie acts In .Egypt and at the Bed Sea (v. 4) .and by his I’ears ago there were two men living ,fl one of the great cltljw on the east ; ern coast of the United States who. though they were father and son, were |olmma, They were rich and ultra fash­ ionable, which meant then something far different from wbat it would mean today, in those days the . ublouubte people of the laud -were retined and Intelligent, Now to be ultra fashiona­ ble has a questionable sound. One may be ultra fashionable, yet devoid of or­ dinary breeding. ■ ’ The two men referred to looked like gentlemen and noted like gentlemen bhakespeare has described them in his ; Words “to the manner born.” They were always seen together on the street, and one looking at them would think them a pair q ? noblemen belong­ ing- to some lordly English estate. In society they were kuowu as “Dombey & Sou.” The father, who was a "widower, drifted on, thinking that their com. panionsbip would hist us long as they lived. What a shock.. then, was it to him when his son announced to bis fatheV his engagement! The older man goulqjuot believe bis senses,- But when he leached that his sou was to marry ; a girl with no fortune, that the young couple could not retain the position in society thitt their ancestors, the Van G.’s, had held for 206 years, hla desolation was complete. He couldnot conceive of himself falling to appear at the functions he bad from, bis youth been accustomed to attend, and to'go to them without the companion wig* had always gone with him would be worse than not going at all. The first quarrel the two had ever had followed. “You shall not marry," said the elder Van G.. “unless you marry one o f our set and one with sufficient fortune to enable you to keep up a position as n married man." “ I have asked a lady to he my wife," replied tiie son, “and I will not turn upon my Invitation,” "Very well, then, you must shift for yourself.” ' Harry Van G. married a lovely girl: but, since it would have required an). flebmidt’s Old Hickory Flour, 25 lb sick for . .7£c Schmidt's Ocean Light Flour, 26 lb, sack for... 70 Country Cured Bacon.. l 8 c Breakfast Bacoa, per lb-28 Fancy {Sugar Cured Ham, lb ....... 22 California and Picnic Hams, per lb .................. 18 African Java Coffee, per lb ...................................... 22 Itio and Java Blend per lb.......... .......................... 24 JUo Coffee per lb.............. 2B Chick Feed, a }b ........ 5C* For f-fignaig Get Them p iU f They’ re Cheep Star Tin Cans, par dozen.... ......... 37c Ball Mason Jars, qt, apse, per dozen .....................................46c Ball Mason Jars, pt size per dozen...................... 40c Bali Mason Jars, balfgal. size, per dozen............... 70c <>“*• trlsH itar tfr*al£#r» - - -......... * £ ■ Silver Prun#*...................W Prunes........ ..................

The burning mountain suggests the con* Burning fire to the transgressors of the law about to bo revealed. The booming thunder and flashing light­ ning amid the stillness of the wilder- nese jgould arouse universal attention, and haB not the law thus attracted the attention of ages? The enveloping cloud reminds us of another moun­ tain experience, see Matt, 17:5. The trumpet emphasizes the supernatural, that it was, other than a material trumpet blown by human breath. Read In connection with this IcBson Isa. G. Our God is not alone a God of love but he is a being of infinity majesty and holiness, “a consuming fire,” Heb. 12:29. Too often we have presented an emasculated God; we need to em­ phasize, in this day, both cides of his character. At least two locations are pointed out, each of sufficient area to accommodate those gathered un­ der MoseB’ leadership (V. 17). Though he trembled (Heb. 12:21) yet he ap­ proached with confidence, I John 3:21, this interview with God. No sooner had he gone a little way up the mountain than he Is ordered to re­ turn in order to keep the people from breaking through the hounds to gaze, W, 2 1 * 22 . Summary. The murmurings at Re- phidim (ch, 17) seem incredible eo soon after the song of Moses (ch. 15) and the supply of manna (ch. 1 G), yet now eoou darkness makes us for­ get the brightness of bygone light, im­ minent danger to forget previous de­ liverance. Man alone cannot cope With these emergencies; God alone can provide. God’s revelation and declaration have in this dispensation been repeated in almost identical lan­ guage to the . heavenly people, the church of Christ, (I Bet. 2:9. His methods, though seemingly stern, are those of grace and mercy.

The coachman annoyed him, for Instead of looking straight abend of him be turned his face in the op­ posite direction. Mr, Van G. got into the carriage and told the cabman to drive him to the home of a lady social lender. On ar­ riving at the door some friends of the aristocrat happened to pass, and he stopped on the sidewnlk to speak to them. When doing so lie happened to cast his eye to the coachman and rec­ ognized his son. He Wus too well bred fo show surprise or shock'at even this contretemps.

Harry and his wife lived in n small shit of rooms in A cheap flathouse. On reaching it- his father without the least unbending said: . "Can you direct me to the rooms of Harry Van G.7" “Certainly, sir,” said the coachman, touching his hat respectfully, and he, leading him to his rooms, rang, and the door was opened by Mrs. Van G. Once across the threshold, a marked change eamo over the visitor.
