LESSON FOR AUGUST 17 CROSSING THE RED SEA. LESSON TEXT-Ex. 14:19-31. GOLDEN TEXT-"Before they call. I will answer."-Isa. 05:24. No sooner were the Israelites sent on their journey than the Egyptians repented and pursued (vv. 6-9). Then it was that Moses encountered the first of that complaining (v. 10) against which he struggled until God took him from this earth. They "cried" (v. 10) but they did not rest. It did look like a dangerous situation and there were but three possible methods of procedure. (a)' To return to slavery, (b) to die in t wilder ness, or (3) to go forward inNalthful obedience, trusting God for deliver ance. Their salvation (v. 13) was from God, see Acts 4:12; Heb. 5:8, 9. God's leading, 13:31, 22, had brought them to this place; now He will mani test His glory, will get unto Himself "honor" (v. 17). Testing the Israelites. I. Protection, vv. 19-22. As the an gel of God (Christ?) came between Israel and the Egyptians we are re minded of Ps. 34:7, "the angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him and delivereth them." The same cloud that brought darkness to the Egyptians brought light to the Israelites. Even so we have the "Light," Luke 2:32; John 8:12, 9:5, and are admonished to walk in the light, Eph. 5:8. While God brought confusion to the Egyptians and was testing the Israelites by causing them to "fear not, stand still and see" (V. 13), He was at the same time giv ing Moses an opportunity to work out Hlis plan of deliverance (v. 16). As the strong east wind blew it heaped up the waters, dried out the muddy bottom and opened a passage for the deliverance of all the chosen ones. Then it was time for prayer to cease (v. 14, 15) and for action to begin, the seemingly impossible Is now quite possiblo, Matt. 19:26. Notice, how ever, that God had used a man (Moses) in His work of deliverance. .It was a very simple shepherd's stafY that God directed Moses to use. Surely the power was not in the start nor in the arm back of the staff. The same waters that had seemed to be such a barrier are now used as a wall of protection (v. 22) on the right hand and on the left leaving no opportunity for a flank attack. Their only way of escape was forward and each step -they took was one of faith. 1i. Pursuit, vv. 23-25. Pharaoh had judged that the Israelites were en tangled, "perplexed" (v. 3) in the wvii derness and that Moses had inadvert antly led them into a natural trap which was to the advantage of the Egyptians. Further, we judge that wvith the darkness' of the cloud before them, the Egyptians were not fully aware of the fact that they were fol lowing Israel into the midst of the waters. Blind fury will lead a man into strange surroundings and to per form insane acts. This new way wvas not prepared for Pharaoh nor is the straight and narrow path which leads to glory for the unrepentant sinner. Jehovah was near at hand that "morn ing watch'' (V. 24), even as today Hie blesses those who kteep that hour. One "look" from Jehovah brought confusion and discomfort upon the pursuers. The Safe Path. ill. Punishment, vv. 26-31. Tihe path that is safe for faith is no Place for tile disobedient. God looking through that cloud paralyzed the proudl foroes of Pharaoh in the place of all places most dlatiger-ous. God not alone looked but took off their chariot wheels and fear overcame them. Then they real ized that Jehovah was fighting anld sought to flee. Again God uses a mqn in the working out of Ills plan arid Moses is instructed to stretch f rth his hand over the sea, v. 26. As the morning breaks the waters re turn to thleir level, and again God uses natural forces in a supernatural mianner. Like as one would shako off some useless, offensive, appendage so God was rid of the ,army of Pha r-aoh (v. 27 marg.). A careful read hig of tIs story, especially verse 28 Ri. V., clearly indicates the probability that Pharaoh himself did not perish. Thus it was that Israel saw the hand work of the Lord upon thle Egyptiafis while they themselves remained a saved people, saved by the power of Jehovah. Great fear came upon them (v. 31) and they "Delieved the Lord and Is servant Moses." How sad that their faith proved so short lived and that they so soon murmured against God anld Ils servant Moses. Thus we see the nation delivered, consecrated andI placed under the di rect gormnent andl guidance of God1. Egypt (lid not keop faith with Israel to let them "go and wvorship" and Giod wrought a complete deliverance. God's judgmen't of the sin of Egypt was carried out to the last degree, but in strict justice. On one hand1( is God's guidance andl over against that the lengths men willl go whose hlearts are hlardened in rebellion. The bias phemous dlaring of the Egyptians was rebuked as they attempted to march along God's highway of detlivera1ter Israel followed Moses, the prolilih. 'Tresspass Notice.

C., July 29,19.1; I thought it might be of inte: est to some of your miany reat ers to hear of our trip to th great reunion at the famou battlefield of Gettysburg. On Saturday afternoon a seven o'clock, June 30th, wi boarded the north bound trai1 at Greenyille, S. C. and th next time we put foot on thi ground we were at Gettysburg It was night when we rolled iW but it did not take long to fin the row of tents marked fo South Carolina, and were sooi assigned to our tent wher everything was arranged fo our comfort during our stay. Thel next morning we wer up and dined on a most bounti ful breakfast .at seven o'clock and then came to my tent witi my old time friend and comrade P. H1. Williams, of Spartanburp county, the only one of miy company that I saw while there le was a true-blue soldier am was in the awful fight at Get tysburg, getting severely wounded there and had to lie ii that condition a day and a hal: on the battlefield. As we wer walking. over the grounds, hi was pointing out the plac< where he was when shot. A tall, stern looking Yankee -wa listening to Mr. Williams tell o: his being so nearly killed there wlien he in terrupted him1n by saying: "Well, Sir, I am thi man who was doing the shoot ing that day," when Mr. Wil liams answered, "Yes, am you're the very man that sho me, Sir." We got a hack for one dollai each, with a guide who drovi us all over the battleground am showed us many famous points WNe went to Big Round' Toi and Little Round Top, thi Devil's Den, and the sprim where after the fight, the sol diers of the North and .SoutI mi ngled together and drank o: the wat er there, it being ti only water available. 'hi spring and surroundings an well kept and beautiful. There are many handsoni and beautiful monuments erect ed in memory of the heroes o that day. The house wher Jennie Wade was killed, th only woman killed during th ba tie, is still preserved. Sb was in the house making bra when a hullet came througi and killed her while at work Among the many noinmnt there is one to be seeni to be ineinory.
