Dr. Earle Wilfley will preach ‘{temorrow morning and evening at he Vermont Avenue Christian hoh a few sickly shrubs survived and water was difficult to locate. The two million entered that wilderness without supplies of either food or water. If they had secured a supply of water at Ayoun Mousa, where they made their first encampment after crossing the Red Sea, it would soon be exhausted. The marvelous deliverance from Egypt had fllled them with faith that their God could do anything. Every- thing seemed possible to them as they entered the wilderness. It did not take long for them to forget the plagues d had visited upon Egypt, the spectacular Passover, the.wrent sea and the drowning tyrants when they marched over the monotonous desert without any water to drink or food to eat. Their mdrale commenced to weaken. The songs of victory gradu- ally grew weaker. They were looking for another thrilling experience. God's presence did not seem as real as for- merl; They were passing through the reaction that many a convert has experienced when the exciting days of religious enthusiasm, when the presence of God and the things of the spiritual life had first become real to him and they entered into the fel- lowship of the Christian church. Many have found the meetings cold and the fellowship not as warm as the revival services. It was some such a mood that filled the Hebrew people, who commenced to criticize Moses, complain about the food and clamor for a change of leadership. The seeds of a revolution were being scattered among the Israelites. Promised Provision Supplied. Moses reveals his greatness in the hour when the faultfinders are criti- cizing, complaining and condemning him the most. His poise proves the prevailing power of prayer. In com- munion he had developed his faith and received his orders from Jehovah. His resourcefulness enabled him to act in every crisis. He never falled to meet the needs of the people or the hour, because he followed with abso- lute confidence the Lord of Hosts. He knew the desert. He understood that the people would not desire to slay their flocks except upon special occasions. The flocks were private property, and even if they had been donated to the public use the sup- ply would soon be exhausted. While he was praying God revealed His plan. We would understand more of the Lord’s program jf, like Moses, we had periods of silence in our prayer lite that would permit God to speak to our souls, He assured Moses that food would be given to the murmur- ing multitude, so that they should know that He was the personal, cov- enant keeping and true God of Israel. He assured them of daily food, flesh and bread, but He required that each person had to work to secure his supply. He promised that there would be a sufficlent supply for every per- son, but He prevented any person ac- quiring more than he individually needed. Many of our modern agricul- tural, industrial and commercial problems would be solved if we ap- plied the principles that Jehovah used in distributing His divénely given food in the desert to the Hebrews. The vast social inequalities of the present will disappear when the Master's teachings are applied in solving the modern problems of distribution. Citizens in warm climates frequent- ly preserve food by leaving it dry in the open air. The Israelites were not allowed to gather more quall than they needed, when in great and abundant flocks, flying low, they ap- peared at the moment of need to sup- ply the hungry Hebrews with meat. The manna was not the gum that “exudes from a specles of tamarisk which grows in the Sinaitic Penin sula”” Many have surmised that this sweet-tasting substance, which is called in Arabic a similar name, was the manna of the Old Testament. ‘Whether it was, or was not, as others hold, a divinely given gift of asdif- ferent character, it does not matter, for it was God given, llke our own bread, We are apt to forget that “Back of the loat i the mowy flour, mill: Ana b the flour the And ke 6" the i} 1s the Wheat and the And ‘the sun and the Father's will. The Heavenly Manna. ‘While men may differ as to the na- ture of the manna given to the Hebrews every day, except on the Sabbath, during their 40 years’ jil- grimage through the desert, our Lord has taught us that He is the “Broad of Life” who descends from Heaven and gives life to the world.” This fact teaches us that the greatest need of men througheut all history is the pos- session of this eternal life. The gift of this “bread of life” was made by God, so that whosoever belleveth in Him should not perish but have eter- nal life. Christ tells us that “the one who comes to Me will never hunger, and the one who believes on Me will never thirst.” Men will assent to the theological teachings that "He that hath the Son hath life; he that hath not the Son of God hath mnot life,” yet fail to practice its teachings. The destiny of all men is determined by their attitude of faith in Christ. If we possess this life we will prove it by the fruits of our labor. i we do not possess and partake of the * bread of life” the tragic fact is that we lack life from above. If any one lacks it is because he has not come to Christ and accepted God's gift of eternal life. While the Lord supplied the daily food for the Hebrew pilgrims, He required that each soul had to gather his own supply of the daily manna. Every one was compglled to seek soctal application of this fact in his comments: “Everybody worked; there was no leisure class living idly and uselessly upon the labor of others. We shall never have either industrial or spiritual peace until all the able- bodied people shall * * * render some genuine service to soclety proportion- ed to the share of goods which they appropriate for their personal enjoy- ment.”” While this message to the modern world may fulfill what St. Bernard has pointed out that ‘“to eat His flesh and drink His blood” calls for us “to share His sufferings and to imitate that walk which He showed in the flesh,” it does call for us to practice His gospel with confidence and power. If we individually test our faith by doing away with all ganctimoniousness and self-compla- cency, we will be loyal to Christ and His church in a life of spiritual serv- jce that will demonstrate the Gospel's saving power. By requiring that they abstain from collecting the manna upon the Sab- bath, it is quite evident that our Lord sought to teach the young na- tion that their welfare demanded that they preserve the sanctity of the Sabbath. .It is still true that the returns from six days' labor should provide a rest upon the seventh. The engine, speeded beyond its proper point, loses, and disaster, not more power, comes. If we neglect to pre serve this day of rest, which has been well called the “savings bank of human existence,” we will find that our output and strength has been decreased. The individual, cor- poration, community and country that trespasses upon God’s requirements to “remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy,” will learn that by so doing they are removing from men the help from above and celestial hope will perish from the earth. We owe God at least one day in seven, so that He may speak to us in wor- ship and fit us to serve Him. If we seek to eat of “the bread of life” dally we will give the Lord the Sabbath for spiritual service and worship. CANON BOHANAN TO SPEAK AT PEACE CROSS SERVICE Prominent Cathedral Worker Will Preside Over Open-Air Program Tomorrow Afternobn. The people’s open-air service at the Peace Cross in the grounds of the Na- tional Cathedral on Wisconsin avenue tomorrow at 4 o'clock will be con- ducted by Rev. Francis J.
