David exhibited it in providing for the construction of the temple. There was an advance in the faith that the slaves had when they left Egypt in response to the demonstra- tion of the Liberator's power. They recognized the leadership of Jenovan e Red Sea, but needed the dis- ciplipe of Sinai’ and education to at- tempt the winning of Palestine. There was an _ethical advance over the people's views of Jehovah, when they received the law and the religtous and cfvil Institutions were set up by the lawgiver. The ethical and religious ideals were hard to grasp, so lsrael's appreciation was slow. It required the training of the wilderness wander- ings for them to appropriate the land which God had promised them when they entered the Holy Land. Expe- rience and events weére needed by them, as by us, to understand God's providences and purposes. The spiritual conceptions of Israel were crude when they entered the Promised Land, but they were far in advance of those that they held when leaving Egypt. They had to fight for their faith the same sordid foes that ensnare us. They learned the mission of faith and service in doing the small things of life, The performance of the little deeds fit men for doing Samuel was an ap- prentice lad, Joseph was a servant in prison_and Saul was following the plow when called to service, Jehovah summoned Moses and David from tending sheep to freeing the people and leading them. ry one called of God rendered his part of the service toward the ad- |vancement of lsrael and the worship of Jehovah. Some of the results of their labors remain as the permanent posseasion of all time. The rights of the Individual was recognized. Prop- erty rights were guarded. Civil au- thority was established. The first house of religlous worship for God's glory was erected and opened. The first hymn book was collected. The nation that was unified under Saul, organized under David, failed under degenerating influences of the glory of Solomon, who forgot that his first duty called for him to honor Jehovah and serve his fellowmen. The study of the history of the He- brews has shown us that although men mar God's plan, He works out His program and plans to redeem the world, even when those who have en- joyed His favor fail to do His will One of the lessons, if not the out- standing one for us, is that the long eriod of Hebrew histdry proves that d always rewards a life of faith and obedience and always punishes disobedience.

Devotional reading, Psaim, 138 Golden text—Jehovah is mer- ciful and gracious, slow to an- ger and abundant in loving kindness.—Psalm, 103.8. Our studies in the Old Testamont | for the last quarter have covered about 1,000 years of history. The his- torical development of the Hpbrew people has been traced from its com- mencement with one man, selected of {God to be the progenitor of a chosen { people, living a migratory life, dwell- ing in tents, until they had become a settied nation, controlling all the territory between the Mediterranean sea and the Euphrates river. We have considered great epochs of history. They have centered about the lives of great men. These famous men whose lives we have studied during the past quarter have all found a place in the illustrious record of fame recorded in the eleventh chapter of Hebrews, with ong no- table exception, Solomon's being omitted. In this fact we have the key to_the history of the Jewish peo- plé, who in all ages have been men and women of faith. Ewald has point- ed out that Abraham's ‘real greatness is this, that he not omly steadfastly maintained the knowledge of the trua God in his own practice and life, but he knew how to make it lasting to his house and race, and foreign na- tions were obliged to confess that God was with him.” Several centuries was no time to the slow-moving orient. There ap- pears to have besn a definite and far- reaching purpose of God worked out during those centuries even amidst the fallures of men. The literature | of the perfods we have studied grips us by its humaneness. The lessons gathered about remarkable charac- ters. While looking upon the records of these famous personalities were soma marks of failure, yet the true view of the history reveals the fact that history is His story, for it has revealed God's hand in the affairs of men fitted for thelr times to work out His program. His providential leadership provided the nation with heroes of the faith, whose names are recognized as among the world's most representative men. Abraham was chosen in an age jmarked by {dolatry and separated, because he had come to know God, to propagate the faith in Jehovah. Joseph recognized that he had been sold into Bgypt as a slave for the purpose of saving her's family in the period of famine. Moses ap- eared when the nation needed to be Sellvered. and then organized the mob of freedmen into a nation, through laws that would regulate their civil, religious and soclal life. Joshua had been developed for the hour when the nation called for a military leader. During the ploneer period of the judges, God brought forth Gideon and other leaders for the people - when they were defeated and fllled with istress. Samuel, who was the last of e judges and the first of the proph- ets, came into public service at an hour when the people were corrupt and on the verge of idolatry. He gave them a constitution for their king- dom. The judges believed that they were fighting for Jehovah when lead- ing men to war. Three kings were the last repre- sentative men whose careers we con- sidered. Saul came before the people .| in an hour when they were clamor- ing for a king. His magnificent phys- ical appearance and daring courage met the demands of the moment. He mastered the nation's foes, but could not master his own soul. David fol- lowed him with his lovableness and a lite torn and tried by many experl- ences. . He excelled in many lines. He ltfi ’hll m;k upon all l“.l by his elig) reformation and. e (hs collection of the (Copyright. men. In every crisis the Lord selected | basims, many Gf exercised It in WiARIE DORO’ 1924.) ROTHY DIX. which he himself composed. Soloman followed, making the most of the na- tion’s resources, and being remem- bered as the builder of the first tem- ple erected for the worship of Jeho- vah. He was not strong enough to mas- ter the external magnificences. He was dazzled by it and failed to make the material prosperity of the nation to be utilized for the welfare of the people. It led him to compromise in eligfous matters, so that at the close of his reign the heart of the nation was filled with a spirit of disloyaity. Tt each of the three kings had given all he might have been in life, labor and love for the glory of God and the advancement of the nation, its future story would have been entirely different. The element that made the repre- sentative leaders whose carcers we have studied great men was, first of all. their faith in God. They were | men of prayer, who accepted His rev- elations and obeyed His commands. They were loyal to Jehovah against all foes, when the main purpose of their 1life is considered, They co- operated with Him and awaited with patience the fulfillment of His promises. Looking back over the period of history that we have studled, we can sce the providential purpose far bet- ter than the agents chosen of God to play the prominent part, which they did” through their great personalities, working out order from great disor- der, and new forms amidst the fresh dificulties of life In the transforma- tions of nomadic life, through the sufferings of slavery, the teachings of the wilderness walderings, the transitional days of the judges and the reign of the kings. Some of the events of those days have a meaning for us that the people of that far-off day did not realize. Hebrew history shows us more clearly than any other the providen- tial factor of God's hand in the affairs of men. Jehovah has in every hour of the world’s history had His man ready to meet the emergency of the moment. The annals of our nation are filled with similar records of men who, in a peculiar sense, were made great by His training and fel- lowship. In their cases as well as with the Hebrew worthies, whose carcers we have studied, we have seen how the Lord has overruled defects and weaknesses by imparting self- control, loyalty to Him and co-op- eration with "His purpose through thelr personal faith in Him. The providential purpose of God was the redemption of the race. “He Solected Abraham to be the progeni- tor of a chosen nation, whom he called to make of Abraham and his descendants a blessing to all man- kind. The fact that the Hebrews were to be the channel through which redemption was to be provided for the world explains the slowness and the mystery of the protess. It took centuries for the selected man, then family and then nation to be devel- oped in the school of suffering, sor- row and sacrifice for His service. The heart of the lessons has been the way Jehovah has imparted religious instruction to his people. .In the great studies of religious experience we have seen in all the stages of religious development that God was the fashioner of history. His pur- pose determined the life of men and the nation. Abraham proved his faith by sepa- rating himself from his old life in obedience to His command. Joseph was sustained in his trials by faith in Jehovah's promises. Moses revealed his faith by his reverence afd_obedi- cq to God's command. Samuel showed his faith by hearing God's call and answering the Lord's voice. All the leaders obeyed His commands, although some of them failed to do by moving forward; Abraham to the Promised Land, Joseph to the palace from the prison, by exercising faith. %0 at times.
