Editor ’Williams and fam ily being down with the influenza . *' The legislators in this state is in a worry over the ,tax problem. The.real worry belongs to the tax payer who seldom ever gets to find the rate re­ duced. * . The wag who was asked what dif­ ference there was in the power o f the King o f England and the President of the United States hit the nail on the head when he answered ' that “ the King had a steady job”. .

I f the Republicans' are’ wise they will not be trapped by the scheme/ The Republi­ cans fathered such a bill under the Herrick- administration. The -result is a matter o f history and should not be forgotten. The liberating o f a hundred or more conscientious objectors from prison by the Secretary o f War is an insult to the. thousands o f loyal boys that agave their service to the country. The punishment could hot beumade severe enough for this class yet the War de­ partment liberates from prison men that cannot be welcomed in' a com­ munity o f patriotic people. The cry o f railroad employees has been for the eight hour day. McAdoo has given the short day with no op­ portunity for extra time and the men are- still complaining. Some o f these days the unions will be asking for a six hour day and ten hour pay. If the railroads are still under govern- control we suppose the demand will be granted, and the shippers will get to foot the blil by increased freight rates. SUBMIT IT AGAIN, We say that tbs classification a- mendment should be submitted again to the voters at the first election, An amendment that carried by 80,000 end then killed by the courts on a technical point should go before the people again for their approval under our “ give <*the *people - what -they- want” form o f government. The pro­ posed classification change is what is needed in this state. It w ill do much to distribute the liquor revenue loss on a fa ir basis among all classes o f people, Ohio needs classification of property for taxation. - Mr, E, A.

INTERMEDIATE TOPIC—Our dally dependence upoh God. BENIOR AND ADULT TOPlC-Poverty and providence In our day. I, Lusting for the Flesh Pot» of Egypt (16:1-SG), 1. Murmuring against Moses and Aaron (vy. 1-3). As they journeyed from Film Into the great wilderness they became con­ scious of the scarcity of some of the things they had enjoyed even In Egyp­ tian slavery, Only a few days ago they were singing God's praises for their wondrous deliverance at the Bed Sea (Ch. 15), Now at the beginning o f their privation they are'murmur­ ing. They utterly lack spiritual per­ ception. ~They were a free people on the way to their own land. What did it matter, with such a prospect, though they were a bit hungry! This complaining showed a base In­ gratitude and was most dishonoring to God. Unthankfulness Is a -sign of heart corruption (Rom: 1:21). 2. God’s answer to- their murmur­ ing* (vv, 4-12). (i). He promised to rain bread from heaven (w . 4. 5). His purpose In this was to teach them that “man doth not live by. bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord.” (Deut 8:3). The manna was given by God, but the people must gather it. (2)- He promised to give them a vision of his glory (vv. 6-10). This served as a warning and. an en­ couragement. Despite their murmur- Ings against him he Invites them to come near unto him. Wonderful grace - that' sinful, ungrateful men should be permitted, to come near to God 1 (3) Flesh and bread promised (w . 11,12). God answered the cravings o f the people by giving them quails and man­ na to eat. How gracious is'our Goul II. Qualls and Manna Given (16:13-15). At the appointed -time God gave the. Israelites the promised food. He first allowed them to feel their need, to show that man’s highest need is to be tteve God and rely upon him for all needs (Deut. 8 :2 ,3 ; Matt, 4:3, 4). He then displayed his glory, showing that he v as able and willing to supply their need if they would obey him. L In the evening'the quails came up. (v. 13). Since they desired flesh he gave them flesh to eat. This is ah example’ o f toe patience .and long-suffering of God. ^How he caters to the whims of his vacillating children I 2. In the morning God gave the manna (w . 14,15). " The Israelites did not know what it was. They exclaimed: “What is it)” Moses told them it was the bread which the Lord had given them to eat, III. The Responsibilities of the Is­ raelite* (16:16:31): L They must gather a certain ration daily (v. 16 cf v. 4). ,, This was to test tlieir faith. They must look to him for their dally bread (Matt. 6:11). 2. Every man was to gather for him­ self (v. 16 cf v. 20). , , The manna typified Christ (John 6: 83, 51). As each roan was to gather for himself so each one must-appro- priate Christ for himself. 8. The manna must be gathered fresh every morning (v. 21). This -was to be done early, before toe sun was ,up. ClirlBt, our manna, should be taken each day, and the first thing In the day (John 6 : 57). 4. They must not gather In excess of one day’s supply (vv. 18, 20). That which was in excess o f the dny*s supply became corrupt. Chris­ tians should make use of the gifts be­ stowed by God. God’s graces are only good when put to use. 5. The manna must be eaten to pre­ serve life. They were In the wilderness, so could only Jive by eating of toe ^food which God gave. In the wilderness of this world only those who feed upon Christ, the true manna, have eternal life (John 6:50, 51), 6. Due consideration should be given to the Sabbath day (vv. 22-81). ‘ A double portion was to be gathered the day before. IV, Manna Kept as a Memorial (16: 82-86), This was to be kept as a reminder of God’s > favor In supplying them with oread In the wilderness for forty years. 1 Help From NAture Study.
