iC ? The \ aluo or Covenant
I. Joshua Rehearalng ry
of the Nation (vv. 1-13).
This wuh his farewell , tie
last message to the people. u> .?,,n
with Abraham's breaking with h, ^re
ligion. homeland, relatives and friends,
ut the command of God. and traced
their history lu ligypt. their deliver
ance at the hands of Moses und Aaron
through the wilderness Journey and
allowed God's providential dealing In
the crossing of the Jordan at flood tide,
and their marvelous blessings now In
the land solely by the favor of God.
II. Tht People Elect the Lord aa
Their God (vv. 14-^4).
Joshua knew that the people were
liable to lapse Into Idolatry, therefore
he reviewed before them the history
of God's goodness to them, and ap
pealed to their sober choice as 10
whether they were going to remain
faithful to him,
1. He appealed to them for a ra
tional consideration and Judgment (v
15).
He placed before them four candi
dates upon which they could vote ac
cording to their relative merits.
(1) The Lord.
(2) The gods worshiped by their
ancestors In Chaldea.
(3) The Kgyptlun gods.
(4) The gods of the Amoritcs.
Having placed before them these
candidates, he urged them to make a
rational choice.
2. His own example In the matter
(v. 15).
He followed his appeal with his own
example. He told them that his mind
whs already made up. Fie associated
his Household with himself. He knew
Just where they would stand. His de
cision was not a hasty one. It had
been talked over at home, therefore
lie voiced the united sentiment of hit
family.
8. The response of the people (vv.
16-18),
Joshua's earnest appeal, arcompa
nied by his own example had its de
sired effeet. When they calmly con
sldered the clnlms of the Lord a*
i against the other gods, they saw th?
| overwhelming evidence In favor of th?
God of their fathers.
They assigned the following reason*
for their choice:
(1) The Lord brought us out ot
Ejrypt (v. 17).
(t<217) He d'd Breaf ?UI" 8itrh
(8) He preserved us lu un the waj
we went (v. 17).
(4) He drove from before us all th?
people (v, 18)
It would have been very foolish, no
lo say criminal, after they had expe
Henced all this at Ills hands to hnvi
turned Him down.
4. Joshua reminds thern of wh.
God Is (v. 19). ,
Wishing them to think more serl
ously and deeply Upou the matter
Joshua drew a somewhat dark plctur.
of God's attributes which were inns
. unattractive to them.
(1) He Rhowed them that God Is i
Holy God.
(2) That He Is a Jealous God. H
could not therefore tolerate a rival.
(8) That He will not forgive.
He did not mean by this that H
was an unforgiving God, but that Hi
nature was such that unless they fbl
lowed Him fully. He would become th.
means of their destruction.
5. Jo-bun demands Rlncerltv or
their part (vv. 20-23).
He wished to hnve practical proot
of their profesRlon. He no doubt knew
full well that some had Idols yet lr
their possession, i
8. The people's position (v 24)
They cannot avoid their determine
tlon to serve God and obey HI* voice
III. The People Enter Into a 8ol
*mn Covenant ( vv. 2R-28).
This Is the clinching transaction o)
the meeting at Nhechern. They en
tered Into a formal covenant. Joshua
wrote down their agreement In a book
where It would remain . permanenl
witness against them. As a further
help, he took a large atone and set It
up ns a witness. These would serv?
?a barriers against their lapsing again
Into Idolatry.
Lack of Faith
From lack of faith In Thy revela
tion of Thyself, from contempt of Thy
promisee, from readiness to think
lightly of Thy holy commandments,
and of that account of life which we
all must render unto Thee, good Lord,

The record of Saxon's fight for an
education Is an Inspiring story.
"I never remember having seen m>
father, who died when I whs sl\
months old," he said, telling <jt his
life. "At sixteen I was only In the
tlfth gnule of school. We llVeil in a
rural district and 1 could attend school
on the average of only l'J weeks euch
year. I realized that i could never
get very far In the preparation for
life i.t thnt rate, so, with the consent
of my mother 1 went to a nearby \ 11
lnge where there was ji good gram
mar school.
"After l had finished grammar
school 1 went to Albertville. Ala.,
where 1 operated a telephone exchange
at night and went to school In the
day tlirv I finished two years' work
there and was beginning my third
when I stopped to entei'the army for
the World war, which kept me out of
school two years. V saved my money j
while in the service with the hope
that some day 1 might not only finish
h'gh school but might go on to college.
"When I returned I finished high
M.-I100I and was awarded a scholarship
b> rt newspaper which paid my ex
pense through Howard college.
"While in college I sold hooks In
Kentucky and West Virginia one sum
mer and the others I worked for the
Central Young Men's Christian asso- |
elation of Ilirmlnghnm. After my
graduation In the spring of K)2.r> I be
came a member of the staff there."
Saxon served In the One Hundred
and Seventh field artillery, 'I'hlrty-first
division, and saw service In France. In
i college he had high scholastic stand
ing and an unusual record of leader
ship in athletics and student affairs,
j He plans to continue his Y. M. C. A.
work when he returns from Poland.

The Reduced Rate is foi l)ou
Why not I4se it ?
TELEPHONE users frequently wait until 8:30
o'clock at night to make a long distance call at the
reduced rate, and then make a person-to-person
call at the higher rate.
The reduced rate, both clay and night, applies only
to calls for a number, but it is not necessary for you to
know the number. To make such a call, give the oper
ator the number of the distant telephone if you know
it, or if you dp not know the numbeif tell her the
name and address under which it is listed.
This is a "station-to-st.ition" call. If you cannot
remember this term, tell the operator you wish to
make a call at the lowest rate, and do not wish to
speak to a particular person.
It is a simple matter and you can make a big saving
on your toll falls if you will let the long distance oper
ator help you.

"QEVERAL years ago I was
badly run-down," says Mrs.
John Bunch, R. F. D. 3, Colum
bia, S. C. "I could not do any
of my work. I was so weak I
could not wash a dish. My back
and sides hurt me at times
dreadfully. I dragged around
until I finally got down in bod"
Then, explains Mrs. Bunch,
she happened to read about
Cardui, the woman's tonic, and
decided to give it a thorough
trial, the results of which she
describes below;
"It seemed to reach the
cause of my trouble at once.
I did not take it long before
my appetite began to improve.
I gained in weight from 114
pounds until now I weigh 125
pounds. I soon was able to be
up around the house. I took
up my household duties and
was delighted with my return
ing strength.
"I now do all my own work.
The pains in my sides and
back have disappeared and I
feel like a different person."
