GOLDEN 'I EXT-"Let us have grace whoreby we inay offer service well-pleas Ing to God with reverence and awe." Neb. 12:28 R. V. The securing of water at Mount Ho reb, the battle with the Amalekites and the visit of Jethro, Moses' father in-law, are the Intervening events be. tween this and last week's lesson. A suggestion as to the historicity of the Exodus story is indicated in verse I of the lesson. "In the third month," these are not the words of an impos tor but of the careful historian.' The place, Mount Sinai, was a familiar one to Moses. It was at the base of this range 'of mountains, "at the back of the desert," that ho had met and received his commission from God. (Ex. 3:1-12; Acts 7:30, 38.) Lot us consider the entire chapter. The Highest Source. 1. "A peculiar treasure," vv. 1-4. Thus far there' has been no law to guide the Israelites except the word of God by the mouth of the prophet. As a nation they must have laws and the proper time has now arrived to promulgate those laws. But it is nec essary to impress the nation with the source, the sacredness and the strengtk of law. Its source is the highest-God; its sacredness is in the nature of its sourco-God; its strength is !n the matter of their obedience. "Moses went up" and "the Lord called." When we seek the place of separation from man and the place of seclusion with God we may expect to hear him calling us. (Jas. 4:8.) Once before God had called to Moses in this place (3:4) and Moses was taken by surprise. Now it is the man of experience who joyfully seeks the Lord that he may receive a message for his waiting, people. God begins by reminding him of his acts in Egypt and at the Red Sea (v. 4) and by his figure, "eagle's wings," he empha sizes the fact that none else but Je hovah wrought this deliv.erance. Even as the eagle bears its young upon its wings so has he borne out of Egypt this nation which is as yet but a babe. It is yet to be, however, his peculiar treasure and upon one condition only --obedience. They are to be a king dom of priests, persons with a right access to God, spiritual sovereigns and a holy nation set apart to pre serve the knowledge and worship of God if they obey his voice. "A peculiar treasure," on the con dition of obedience Israel was his peculiar people, how sad that they eer departed from that .lofty privi lege. In this present age it is the church which is called out to be a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation and the people for God's own possession. (I Peter 2:9, 10 Rt. V.; TIt. 2:14; Eph. 1:11 Ri. V.; Rev. 1:6; 5:10; 20:6 R. V.) lI. A sanctified people, vv. 7-15. Tihat the Israelites might believe Moses forever, God was t'o conie and converse with hi'n froem a thick cloud. Before this took place, however, they must cleanse themselves, set guards about the mountain lest any draw too near and be put to death (V. 12). Ood's revelations to men are never made to thoso who wvith lust in their hearts cling to. their sins. Trumpet Not Material. lil. A wonderful revelation, vv. 16 25. God's descent was signalized by every object of grandeur and awe that imiagination, can .conceive. The bur-ning mountain suggests the con suming fire to the transgressors of tho law about to be revealed. The booming thunder and flashing light ring amid the stillness of the wilder less would arouse universal attention, and has not the law thus attracted the ittention of ages? The enveloping :loud reminds us of another moun ain experience, see Matt. 17:5. The ~rumpet emphasizes the supernatural, ~hat 'It was other than a material ~rumpet blown by human broath. Read n connection with this lesaon Isa. 6. 3ur God is not alone a God of love but lie is a being of infinite majesty mnd holiness, "a consuming fire," 1-lb. 12:29. Too often we have presented in emasculated God; we need to em phiasizo, in this day, both sides of his 2har-acter. At least two locations are pointed Out, each of suflcient area to accommodate those gathered un der Moses' leadership (v. 17). Though be trembled (Heb. 12:21) yet he ap proached with confidence, I John 8:21, this interviewv with God. 'No sooner had lhe gone a little way up the mountain than ho is ordered to re turn in order to keep the people from breaking through the bounds to gaze, vv. 21, 22. Summary. The murmurings at Re phidim (ch. 17) seem increcdiblo so soon after the song of Moses (eh. 15) and the supply of manna (chi. 16), yet how soon darkness makes us for get the brightness of bygone light, im minont danger to forgot previous de (iverance. Man alone cannot cope with these emergencies; God alone enn provide.

Whereas, the war betweer the States is now forever over and the veterans of both armie. have learned to know eacl other better and to love eac other more, and the best of feel Ing now exists, and the assuar ance of a reunited country is at hand, and Whereas, the suggestion has come time and again from vet erans of the Union army that certain funds now in the Treas ury of the 'United States, gen erally known as the Cotton Tax Fund, should be distributed amongst the Confederate vet erans and their widows, the Southern States being the place from which this tax % as deriv ed, and it being desirable that this money be returned as near ly as possible to its original source: Be it now resolved by the Confederate veterans of Pickens County, South Carolina,+ in their county organization duly assembled. that the veterans of Pickens County, S. C., do ap pireciate the sentiment express ed by the veterans of the Union army as hereinabove set forth, and that we respectfully call upon the Grand Army of the Republic soon to assemble in convention at Chattanooga, Tennessee, asking that a reso lution be passed calling upon the Representatives in Congress of a reunited country, both in the Senate and in the House, to take steps to secure the passage of such a measure as will bring about the distribution of the above stated fund so that the same shall be returned to its rightful owners and justice he done to all claimants. Be it further resolved that the Confederate organizations in every county in South Car olina be and they are hereby called upon and requested to take into consideration the mat ters hereinabove set forth, and that they do, at the earliest possible moment, communicate a like resolution to our Repres entatives- in Congress, urging their attention to this impor tant matter.
