I3U, Weatern Newspaper Union,) LESSON FOR JANUARY 26 ISRAEL CROSSING THE RED SEA LESSON TEXT—Bsodua ii:l?-15:21. GOLDEN TEXT-Thus the Lord saved the Israelite* that day out of the baud! of the Egyptian*. Exodm 14:30. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL-Deuteron, dmy 4:32-40; Raalma ”8:1-14; 106:7-12; Re. brow* 1I:2». The tenth stroke from the strong hand of the Almighty made PJmrnoli willing to let Israel go. The tenth turu of the screw of. omnipotence brought him to time. The Israelites go out on their way tQ the promised land with a big): hand. Through the-land of the Philistines the Journey would have been comparatively short; hut God com- piancled them to turn from that Way lest going through Hie land of the Philistines they, see war and desire te turn hack tp Egypt. The Lord hud re­ spect for their needs MHe kuoWetb our frame, he remcmbreth that we are dust,” (Psplms 103:14).* He suits our trials to our ability to meet them. The Lord went before them In a pillar of rtoud by day and a pillar ol fire by night. He not only thus Indi­ cated unto them the right path, but Walked with them in it, God does, not deliver and then Jeave us alone, hut becomes our companion. At tin) Lord's .direction they turned from their first course and were made to face a seem­ ing difficulty. The Red sea was before them, and mountains on either side. The. stricken Egyptfuns had recovered from their sorrow and now saw t)k Israelites in a situation from which they could not extricate themselves They interpreted this to mean that Moses*was unable to lead them out ol their difficulty; therefore, they went In pursuit, hoping ydt to prevent the:.- from going out of the country. . I. The Miraculous Escape of the Israelites (14:13-22). .They were in' a straitened condttloc but had no reason to fear, for the Lord had led them there. It is soft to he .where the Lord leads, though every avenue Is closed against us There seems to he a two-fold object It leading them into this peculiar place • to strengthen the faith of the people and to lay a snare for the overthrow of the Egyptians. The people, as usual displayed their unbelief and even cen­ sured" Moses for leading then: out ol - Egypt. Moses replied • to their mur­ murs by saying, “i'ear ye not, stanf still and see the salvation of th< Lord.” Standing still In such -a trial is faith taking hold on God's prom­ ises.. This, Is hard for the natural man to- do, Before the salvation ol the Lord can ever he seen or experi­ enced we must come thus to him While reposing pur confidence to tin -Lord, there comes a time when yrt must make our faith actlye. God said “VVherefore c rlest' thou unto me) Speak unto the Children of Israel that they go forward.” Having had hit definite' promise, to have pruyed long er would have been unbelief. The thtof to be done then was to step out upon his eternal promise. The lifting up of the rod simply served as some tiling tangible upon which their fattt could act". Tltdy were to go forward s step at a time, without raising anj question ns to the outcome; for froir the same source from which came tin command, came” the power to obey. The presence Of the Lord was adapter to their needs as they went forward. An they went forward the very thln$- which seemed their destruction he. came a wall of protection On cither side.' ’ .............. • ■ ! It. The Overthrow of the Egyptian! 1 (23:27). - Having seen the Israelites go acros: dry-shod, Pharaoh and his hosts mad­ ly pursued them. They insanely thought that they to their unbetle) could follow in the wake of God’s chil­ dren. The very things which are 1 l wall And defense to the faithful be­ come a snare and a means of dcstruc tfon to the enemies of God’s people The Lord looked forth from the cloud i -and wrought confifslon among the Egyptians. There Is a day coming • when a look .from the Almighty will * cause a much greater consternation i among the wicked (Revelation 6:10 j 17; 20:11-13). He not only looked I upon them but took off their eharlol • wheels, which caused them to realize that God was fighting against them, He then directed Moses to stretch . forth his rod and bring destruction i upon the Egyptians. So complete was i the overthrow that it is said that not i one escaped. , III. The dong of Triumph (15:1-21), Standing on the other shore of the Red Sea, they could fittingly sing thq song of triumph, because of the mirac­ ulous deliverance and the overwhelm­ ing defeat. Instruments of Strength. Bp Is able to bear the crosses of others because he bears his own. He can be of use to men because he can do.without men. He is ethically ef­ fective because he is spiritually free' He is able to save because he Is strong to suffer. His sympathy and his soli­ tude are both alike the Instruments of his strength,—Francis G. Peabody. Our Helper. He that wrestles with ns strength­ ens our nerves and sharpens our skill.

Their*: m ounted guards, ex-convicts* criminals, ruffians of the lowest order; 4 A t the .end of sixty-four days the survivors, one hundred and eighty-five out of the eighteen thousand, staggered into a town hundreds of miles from where they started. Covered only w ith rags they were shuddering skeletons,' half dead of, their suffering, half blind with starvation/ There are four miMion of these ref- V ugees. They have not even a crust of bread unless w e provide it and four hundred thousand of them are orphaned children, little more than babies, help­ less, resourceless, hungry* Seventeen cents a day, five dollars-a month, sixty dollars a year w ill keep the breath of life in one of those emaciated bodies.

Of the others, some died of privation and hardship, some starved to death, some were eaten by wild beasts. God alone knows how the rest came to an end* at the hands of worse than wild beasts.
