It was not through the in the familiar story of Kahab. Th help of God that Rabab saved the fam ily. They were saved on account of the bargain she made with Joshua’s spies. After she had hidden these two spies in her home and saved their necks from the pursuers site made them take an oath to save her and her father's house hold. They had to do it, being bound by their sacred oaths. Then, in order to make her rescue mo:e certain, the two spies said. ‘Place a scarlet rope in your window and our soldiers will not hurt you when they enter the towu to search it.’ Uahab di.i this, and she was saved. Co 1 had nothing to do with it. That is just the way with you Christians. If a man is sick and you pray over him, then you say God makes the invalid well. The simple fact is the man would get well, whether you prayed over him or no.” Yes, my friend. I know that it is the common idea. You are exactly in the same position as a prominent professor of one of our large state universities who, a short time ago. said to his class: “Young gentlemen, prayer has abso lutely nothing to do with the outcome of the natural world. When the condi tions are right for it to rain, the rain conies. When the medicines are taken end the fever lias run its course, the patient gets well, and it makes but little difference whether the sick man is a Mohammedan or a Christian. When the tornado has blown itself out, the storm ceases, and not before. Prayer may have its influence on the spiritual text is Joshua vi, 2o: “And Joslrv : saved Kahab the harlot alive and her father’s liousehold and all thai she 1 had.” Marvelous are the stratagems bj which walled towns supposed to be impregnable and fortresses believed to Ik* unscalable have been captured. For ten long years the Greeks, under Ago- | nieinnon. laid siege to the citadel of Troy. At the end of tiie ten years they were no neater their object than they ' were in the beginning Then the Gre cian leaders built a huge wooden horse ac ! rolled it up to the gates of the im- pass. ! le wails. Then during the night the Grecian army and navy withdrew and sailed away to Teuedos, pretend ing that in disgust they bad raised the us ’.ess xieg When •morning broke and tin* Inhabitants looked forth and saw this wooden horse and noted that die bosh ring army had gone, they id: “.Mia!

But the next night. l' e great city slept, the side of \ »>den horse mysteriously open- u ' cut of it leaped a swarm of Miers. They ran to the city ‘ 'mg them open.

The writer was denouncing the address of one of our leading evangel ists, who spoke as follows: “I never make a move but I ask God’s blessing. When I go to a meeting I say, ‘O God, bless this meeting tonight for the salvation of many sduIs.’ And even when I go to a clothing store I always say, ‘O God, help me to make a right selection of my clothing.’ “Now,” said this newspaper, “the idea of any minister bringing this idea of prayer to such a ridiculous com parison as that” I am not using the exact words, but merely conveying the ihougbt of what that article expressed. But as I read that article I asked my self these questions: “Which is right, (he gospel evangelist or the newspaper editor? If it is right to ask God’s blessing upon the great things of life, is it not important also to ask his blessing upon the little things? If we ask God’s blessing upon tbe food we eat at the table, shall we not ask bis guidance in the selection of our ward- iobe and in the house in which we shall live and the books we shall read?" Ah. yes, God's baud is to be seen in the saving of Rahab’s property. God’s hand should also be seen in the build ing of our businesses and in tbe grow ing of our harvests and in the pictures i which adorn our walls. I believe it is just as important for two men who are about to form a business partnership to kneel and ask God’s blessing upon their business as it Is for a young man and woman at the marriage altar to kneel and ask God’s blessing upon their marital partnership. “And Josh ua saved Kahab the harlot alive and army, which had set sail > a ruxe, returned. lh< ( wor j d but ba9 absolutely no influ- her father’s household and all that she Urrs marched In; tin* !

Then the Sabine soldiers came ami threw upon Tarpeia their heavy war shields, which they wore upon their left arms, and crushed the traitress ence in the material.” Now, I take issue with those who hold such ideas. God does rule the material. And God does change the outcome of the mate rial. This ancient story of preservation of Rahab in the destruction of Jericho Is a symbol of what has taken place many times in history and of events In your career and in mine. How Rahafc Was Saved. You say Rahab was saved by Josh ua’s army? She was saved by the pro tecting hand of God alone. Did you ever stop to consider where Rahab’s house was built? The Bible distinctly tells this in Joshua 11, 15: “For her bouse was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.” Now, as this house was built upon the wall, what had.” Is not our financial prosperity due to God's guidance as well as our spiritual affiliations? But I not only find Rahab saved physically and financially, but also spiritually. We can prove this not only by the Old Testament, but also by tbe New. In the Old Testament we hear Rahab saying to the Hebrew spies. “For the Lord your God, he is God In heaven above and in earth be neath,” while In the book of James we read these words: “Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works when she received the messen gers and had them sent out another way?” I cannot go into detail to show how she was converted, but I can as sert this conversion as a fact.

When the priests had marched around the seventh time they blew tbe trum pets and shouted, and the Jericho walls blgan to totter and to fall. Soon the whole city lay at tbe mercy of the in vadera, and every man, woman and child was put to the sword. All were slain, witli the exception of Rahab and Notice is herqlB ~iven that I will •pply to Hon. J.'E, Webster, Proba' Judge for Cherokee eeunty, 8. C., at Ms office at the Court House.

Now, you know the history of Ra bat;. As Rahab has always been taken as the symbol of the sinner saved by grace, I want to describe to you Ra hab’s reward and how this reward can apply in a spiritual and in a temporal sense to our own lives.

Oo the day of n and Apr, 3. the capitulation a wonderful sight was 11 i — — ’ seen. When tbe city gates were thrown . 1- open each woman came forth carrying cur«d "t home wit£ upon her back her greatest treasure, oat tiais. pook of oar- ; This treasure was not a bag of gold, woollkvjStoi! was the body of her father or bus- mmn. eryor atncc baud or son or brother. Emperor Kon rad was so touched at their devotion and love that be allowed these women with their burdens to go free. Cen turies l/Ltor in tbe year of 1820 Quean marched in? Why, that part of the wall where Rahab’s bouse was and wher^ she gathered her father and mother and brothers and sisters was left standing. God did not allow that part of the city wall to totter and fall, for if it bad with the tumbling of those mighty rocks Kahab aud her fa ther’s household surely would have been instantly killed. You say, ‘ Rahab and her household were saved by the Hebrew soldiers on account of the scarlet thread placed in the window.” ’Tis true; God does work through hu man agencies. But. 1 say, Rahab was also saved because God held up that wall, upon the top of which stood Ra- hab’s home. Can you not soe that God in answer to prayer cares for tbe phys ical well being of man as well as the spiritual? Do you feel that it is a silly or use less act to go and kneel by tbe little crib of your sick child and say, “O God, make my baby well, if it be thy will?” Was not the life of Hezekiah prolonged fifteen years through bis praying to God? Do you think it an absurdity when you are about to start on a long voyage to kneel and say, w O Lord, thou who dost govern the winds and dost hold the seas in the palms of thy hands, guard us and care for us as we plow through the trackless deep!” Was not the Mayflower protected on | her Journey to the American shore be-1 cause John Robinson and bis band of followers started the pilgrim fathers with the pleadings of prayer? In an old book I once saw a picture called “The Prayers For the Crusaders.” There at tbe foot of the cross knelt the wives, sisters, mothers and children, while off In the distance you could see the armies marching toward the eaat- era capital of David. Ah, yes; may every one of our homes be a living pic ture of "The Prayers For the Crusad ers!” May we pray for the safety of our loved ones. May we pray for the restoration of health to tbe sick. May we pray that God shall guard the bodies of our dear ones, even as God was the Saviour of Rahab and her fa ther’s household, upon tbe top of the Rahab was saved spiritually her fa ther's household was also saved spirit ually. Let me tyke you out for a little while upon the Jericho walls. Never was a besieging host more ridiculed than the Hebrew army. When Joshua and his troops first came in sight the women ran to cover. Tiie men in their mailed armor took their positions upon the wails. The great stones were placed in piles, ready to be dropped upon the head,s of the besiegers as thegt, with scaling ladders, might try to climb to tbe top. The swords were sharp ened, the spears were glistening in the sun. But great was the surprise of the garrison when they saw the besieg ing army form into line and fdlow a few priests as they marched around the city, all keeping step to the blow ing of the rams’ horns. Round they went, and at night they came back to camp. This they did one day, two days, three days, four days. By this time the inhabitants lost their fear. But as I walk in and out of the city and see the merchants behind their counters and the women singing In the street* and tbe boys shooting at the Hebrew army their little pebble* I find on* bouse barred and bolted. There is a red rope across its window. This is the house of Rahab. Hsfcsb’s Family. We knock and hear a voice call, “Come in,” and in we go. There I find i the mother, father, brother* and sister* 1 of Rahab sitting together, as though they were waiting for something awful to happen. I say to the old jhan, who is evidently tbe father of these grown up children: “Man, what are you doing here? Why are you shut up in this house? Why are you nof sneering and scoffing and making merry with the other inhabitants of tbe city of Jeri cho, deriding the besieging army? Do you feel that the city is to be destroy ed by the tooting of a ram’s horn?” With that the old man turns upon me a look of solemn significance and says: “Friend, knowest thou not that God has sounded forth the deathkuell of this city? My daughter Rahab bad * vision from him. She not only sur rendered ber heart to God. but she has papa?” With that the father said, “Tell him I did bate him once, but that I love him now.” Ah, that may be the story of our own life. If you will, you r can win your whole family for Christ. I No one has greater iuflueuce than you with that father, that mother, that sis ter, that brother. Like Rahab, are you converted through and through, so that your dear ones know that your conver sion is no sham? “Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name that shall ye receive.”* Is it too much to test God's promises in the salvation of your own dear ones? But I learn another fact from Ra hab’s reward. A man or a woman may make a complete social wreck of life and start all over again. They may be moral outcasts and yet reform, as did Jerry McAuley or John B. Gough or John Newton or Richard Baxter or Rahab. and rehabilitate themselves and become useful servants of Jesus Christ and mighty messengers for the better ment of the world’s salvation. You can find this gospel truth not only taught in the character of iny text, but also from many other characters of the Bible. Some time ago I read a powerful dis course by the greatest of English preachers. Its title was “Shaven and Shorn, but Not Beyond Hope.” Its hero was Samson. This sermon de scribed Samson betrayed by Delilah; Samson with his hair cut; Samson ! shorn of his strength; Samson with his [ eyes out; Samson grinding in the prison ! house. But after awhile It showed Samson with his hair growing and getting back his great strength. Old ; Samson never got back his eyesight | but he was able again to put forth that old strength, and in his own death he slew more of bis Lord’s enemies than ! he ever slew in his life. Cannot you see the old grizzled giant, shaggy bearded and bis bair like a lion's mane, and tbe old muscles again knotting themselves out iu their strength? Now, my text says Rahab was a harlot. She was a social outcast. But Rahab the depraved not only became Rahab the virtuous, but she also became Rahab the ancestress of Jesus Christ. Bahab’a Altar Life Vlrtaou. Let me read you something that 1 found In my investigations. This is what a great Bible student once wrote iu reference to this heroine of my text: “As regards Rahab herself, we learn from Matthew 1, 5, that she be came the wife of Buimon, the son of Naasson, and tbe mother of Boaz, Jesse’s grandfather. The suspicion naturally arises that Salmon may have been one of the topics whose life she saved. But, however this may be, it is certain, on the authority of Matthew, that Rahab became the mother of the line from which sprang David and eventually Christ, and there can be no doubt that it was so stated in the pub lic archives from which the evangelist extracted our Lord's genealogy, In Kidney trouble preys upon the mind.

God saved Ba- , cfttion of the women and what each hab’s body, ber elbtbes and ber money and ber jewels and ber bouse and ber food. In other words, by this rescue of Rahab God seems to come to us and say, “If yon will only trust me and live for me, I will look after yonr food and clothing and bouse rent and chil dren’s education and all that you need in a temporal sense.” Therefore, If God is to be our temporal provider, we •bould never be willing to enter Into any commercial or business dealing* of life wlthost first kneeling to ask hi* gaUtano* and help.

We are all here waiting for his summons. Yes, we are all here, father, mother and our boys and girls. We are all here In Rabab’s bouse to meet the manifestations of Rahab’s God.” Is this an absurd picture I have drawn? Have you not In your own life seen one Christian girl or boy win a ‘whote family to Christ? We have. And do you not fully realize that if you once surrender your heart to Jesus Christ, as Rabab gave hers to God, you, by tbe help of tiie Lord Jesus Christ, can capture your w! ole family i for the Saviour? There is a beaul story told that many years ago in ala a Christian lady married a husband. Time passed on and a girl cams to bless that home. is Rahab the harlot is as certain as that David iu the genealogy Is the same person as David in the books of Samuel. Is not this a glorious trans formation? Rahab the outcast could become Rahab the pure, Rahab the God honored, the ancestress of Jesus. Aud is it not also a glorious thought that though you may have wandered away from Christ, wander«id as far away as did Rahab, yet by the grace of God aud through the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ you can be purged un til you are clean and washed of your sins, until you become whiter than tbe driven snow?” Thus in closing this sermon I am glad to say that every Rabab, every Mary Magdalene, every Peter and ev ery prodigal son can be saved by God’s grace, as well as all tbe Marys and *11 tbe Enochs and all the Joshuas who 1 never ceased to walk with God. In tbe midst of tbe Atlantic oiean, half way between Brazil and Africa, there | is a sea in the midst of many cur rents. It is a sea or lake within an ocean. It is called the Sargasso sea.
