GOLI EN TEXT-"Precious in the sight c Jehovah is the death of his saints.' Ps. 116:15. 1. 7 .i Old Leader, vv. 1-8. We have now c, me to the last of our lessons which have to do with Moses. Fol lowing his lamented failure at the time o-: the second -arrival at Kadesh Barnes. Miriam dies; at Mt. Hor, Aaron departed and his office is be stowed upon his son, Eleazar. Then quick3 followed the plague of ser pents, the defeat of the king of the Amorit is. Balaam's folly, the apostasy, of Isra -1 which was cleansed by blood throug i the zeal of Phinehas, and final ly the arrival upon the plains of Moab. Law Confirmed. Here Moses repeats and confirms the lawv to this new generation of Israel, delivers his last charge. sings his last song, ascends Mt. Nebo to view Canaan, and is "forever with the Lord." In the passage marked out for this lesson we have the account of the passing of this wonderful servant of God. Returning to ch. 31:1-8 and 32:44-.;2 we see this journey in pros pect, after that we read Moses' parting blessing and in this section we read of the fulfilment of that prospect Moses anticipated his departure by a quiet dignity, absolutely divorced from baste )r fret, that was characteristio of his life of submission and was the essence of his life of faith. Before departure Moses solemnly charged this newer generation to ob serve the law, declaring that it Is not a vain nor an empty thing but in deed and In truth to them the way of life. Then comes the simple dignified ac count of this last act of obedience, sim. ple, yet sublime. Yonder we see him, viewed by the hosts of Israel, as he ascenc's the mountain alone-yet not alone--prepared to spend his last hourst upon earth with Jehovah, who doubtl sa appeared as the angel Jehov. h and pointed out to him the land 1 e so much longed to enter, but could iot because he failed to sanctify God L. the sight of the people at a critice moment. Taking the glory to bimse f on that occasion demanded an act o: punishment as a warning to the p ople; hence, "it went ill with Moses for their 'sakes," Ps. 106:32. There upon the mount God's covenant with . braham is confirmed and with undizned eye and undiminished vigor (v. 7 , Moses was shown the fufli ment f that promise, his body was laid a. rest by God himself, in an un know!.. and unmarked sepulchre, "over against Beth-Peor," v. 6. ' II. rhe New Leader, v.9. God never leaveE his people without a leader and h mene Joshua is exalted to comn pensa' e Israel for the loss of Moses. "The king is dead-long live the -king." The worker dies, the work goes (fn and many tImes the victories of the new leader are fully as great and frir reaching as any won by the former leader. Joshua was not Moses, be was Joshua and as such called to face new problems. .lil. A Great Character, vv. 10-12. The description-of Moses is of one who saw Jehovadh face to face, a peculiar dig nity, and the secret of his greatness. When Aaron and Miriam murmured God declared that Moses was diiferent from :dl other prophets in that, "with him ia ill I speak mouth to mouth, even manif astly, and not in dark speeches, and the form of Jehovah shall he be hold," Num. 12: 6-8. Moses himself 'declared to Israel that when God spoke to them out of the midst of the fire, "I stood between the Lord and you," Deut. 5:4, 6. The supreme teaching of this lesson Is the fact that great as Moses was, he was never theless excluded from the promised land as a warning to Israel. On the other hand-this story is a ,wonderful illustration of the tender compassion and watchful care of Jeho vah even to the end. Even the discip line of Jehovah is accompanied by gentleness. If he must needs be ex cluded yet he is not excluded from comminion with Jehovah. Thus this saint who was separated to the will of God passes out of life. In the hour of. the consummation of his lie work his spirit passes into yet closer fellowship with God. The Psalmist in the words of the golden text most beautifully suggests that such c.n hour is a delight to God, and suggests the welcome which must be awaiting his saints. Do not forget the last glorious appearing of Moses after the lapse of the centuries when: "'On tl.e hils he never trod Spoke af the strige that won our life With -he* Incarnate Son of God." "Death and .iudgment were a con stant :;ource of fear to me until I real Ized thiat neither shall have any hold on thi child of God." D. L. Moody: Do no~ put death out of consideration, but w Alcome it as Moses welcomed it. W ien we stand on Plsgah, can we sa:' we did our full da~y? In that hour the plautits ci men will be stilled MOses was a great hero, prophet. priest, law-giver, poet and general, yet Israel could erect no monument over his grave to do him honor. It was s. greater honor to follow his admonitions and obey the law. Saved His Foot. H. D. Ely. of Bantam. 0., suffbred from horrible ulcer on his foot for four years.
