Jin the Lord, Moses: Liberator Lawgiver — Exodus 2:1— 19:25; 32:1—33:23; Deuteron- omy 34:1—8. (A Survey of Moses' Life.) Golden Text: Fear ye not, stand still, and see the sal- ;’1“1'3“ ot Jehovah—Exodus and BY REV. HUGH T. STEVENSON. Moses ranks as one of the world's greatest personalities. It wi not until he had reached his elghtleth year that the slumbering genuis of this great soul was aroused by the call of God to become the liberator of his enslaved countrymen and founder of a nation. The child of a despised forelgner had been provi- dential preserved dnd prepared for his task. Four hundred years after the days of Joseph, there ruled over Egypt a a pharaoh whose attitude toward the Hebrews proved that he knew not the preserver of Egypt from the perils of famine. His policy toward the compact community of Hebrews was like that of Ferdinand and I bella toward the Jews, and of the Grand Duke_ Constantine of Russia toward the Poles. Pharaoh consid- ered that these foreigners, who kept their fathers speech and religlous faith that gave them hopes of some day becoming a free and mighty nation, would be a dangerous element In case of war with either Syria or Arabia. He attempted to crush the spirit of the industrious and frugal Jews, whose prosperity had filled others with envy, by drafting them as fleld laborers under harsh task- masters, limiting their offsprings by destroying all males and through intermarriage remove the source of national peril. It was the son of these despised foreigners, whom God providentially saved and had trained in all the customs of the court until he was “learned In all the wisdom of the Egyptians” and “mighty In words and deeds, that He called to be the libera- tor of his people.” Forty years before God called him, Moses had deliberate- ly refused the opportunities presented to him by his court connections so that he could free the oppressed of his own race. He had sought to as- sume the leadership before God's time. He needed the experience of the desert and solitude before he would be fitted for his life work His impetuousity of will and forward- ness of self assertion had to be tamed in fellowship with God, which he found during his forty years as a shepherd in the desert after he fled from Egypt when he feared the wrath of parach, because he had championed the oppressed and defended them in a contest with an evil taskmaster. There is no discipline for a soul that can equal the schooling of solitude. The world's greatest men have been filled with power and spirit in their solitary communion with God. Many men would be expecting a call to their heavenly home at the age when Moses was summoned by the Lord to become the liberator of the Hebrew slaves. It takes a di- vine call to arouse men to undertake a service of mercy for the oppressed. Our Lord usually calls men when they are alone so that He can enow them with power and send them forth full of faith to do His work for the down- | trodden and needy. Moses argued that he was not qualified as an orator | or soldier. Many, who have been calfed of God into His service have found their powers only by doing His wil} and work. The lonely shepherd during the solitary hours that lie spent watching the flocks had reviewed his training in Egyptian political principles and life. He needed only the revelation of Jehovah's character to go forth God revealed Himself so that he realized that the | . unity and s«l(—l‘x‘!lrncel h were exactly opposite the | idolatry of Egypt that was leading his countrymen astray. Filled witn the significance of the divine revela- tion given to him and of how the Almighty and everliving God .ould use the most commonplace in His service; the foremost prophet started on his matchless career that revealed his unique power as a thinker in religlous and political lines. Ie had to arouse the spirit of the cppressed slaves and filled them with contidence in his leadership and faith whose servant Moses professed to be. In that endeavor, he had the assistance of his brother Aaron, who had met him by divine appointment, and his sister Miriam, | Who appears to have been the first woman to take an ctive part in public affairs. When the slaves had been filled with the courage born of religious conviction, Moses had to secure the permission of the govern- | 1went for their departure. In this God gave him power so that through the plagues that affticted the Egyptians, | but from which the Jews were im mune that he forced Pharaoh to con- sent for them to depart. The pass- over sacrifice, which is still com- memorated by the children of Israel throughout the world, recalls how their freedom was secured by a providence never to be forgotten Bunsen has pointed out that “his- tory was born in that night when Moses, with the law of God—moral and spiritual—in his heart, led the: people of Israel out of Egypt. Stanley tells us that “the birthday of Israel—the birthday of religion, of the liberty, of the nation of Israel— was the passage of the Red sea, the likeness in this, as in so many other respects, of the vet greater events in the beginnings of the Christian church, of which it has been long | ccnsidered the anticipation and the emblem. During the next forty vears Moses becomes the dominant figure, both according to the traditions of the desert and the record of thelr wan- derings. It was no easy task for Moses to unify all the various tribes and elements into a united nation. |9:30 am. The firs SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1923. rch News, Activities and Services Only two of the adults survived the years of formation, when Moses, as the founder of the nation, laid broad and deep the foundation for the na- tion’s moral, religious, political and civic life. They lacked the faith es- sential for them to take the land that God had promised their fathers. Moses had to cultivate and train them 80 that they possessed the con- fidence in Jehovah's purpose and power needed by them’to win. He had to implant in their life a faith in the holiness and power of God, under whose love and leadership, through Moses, they had been called into a natlonal existence and through whose grace they could live as a nation forever if they did His will. He recognized the religious message that Israel had to learn, and so well did Moses do the task assigned to him, that he is recognized as the founder of their religious life, which is based upon the laws of God that heflxlva to ‘l’he people, e revealed his power as a leader In the skill with which he controlled and curbed “the excesses to which the taste of liberty Inevitably leads & peo- ple just emancipated.” Russia has furnished a recent example as to what these excesses are apt to be, while France has furnished an illus- tration also in the dark days, that followed her first attainment of 1ib- erty, as to what these excesses may mean. He provided the code of laws for their government as individual tribes and a nation. He laid the foun- dations in the laws that he gave to the recent emancipated slaves for many of our modern Jaws, that can be traced, in germ, at least, to the code given by Moses to Israel. It was dur- ing these trying days and years that he revealed the evidence of his great- ness as a thinker in political and re- liglous realms, There 1s much in the life of Moses that calls for more extended consider- ation than the limits of space will permit. He attained his greatness as result of his faith that trusted God to gulde in solving the soclal, economic, political and religious life of his coun- trymen as they passed through the period of readjustment. If we would follow his example and place our faith in God and do His will much of the problems of the hour would be solved. The Bible records the faults as well as the virtues of the heroes whose llves it has given to men. While the Lord may forgive our failures, He does not allow us to escape the con- sequences of our sin. In a moment of anger Moses disobeyed God. The Lord ordered Moses to speak to the rock, but he smote it twice and as- sumed an honor that belonged to Je- hovah. ‘When Moses finished his great ca- | reer he left an uncompleted task. His lonely ascent and vision of the land that he could not enter because of his sin is pathetic. All of the years' efforts are about to end and the great leader and lawgiver Is not allowed to enter the promised land. All of our life and labors bear an incompleted character like that of Moses. Abra- ham never saw the promises fuifilled. David projected but did not finish the temple. Our Lord Jesus died in the midst of apparent fallure. It was not failure, but an incompleteness that He has been carrying on ever since. Workers passed on, but God's work is carried on and will be until it is finished. God gave Moses a vision of the victory of his faith and the tri- umph of his efforts, which He would finish after death came to the great liberator and lawgiver. We all move toward the perfect day when the tasks we have started will be finished and we shall be satisfied in His pres- ence forevermore. Let us have a faith ke Moses %o that we can without fear, “stand still, and see the salva- tion of the Lord” not only in the hour of trial, but when our day's work is done.
