Caleb appeared be- ore his former friend with the tribe of Judah. The aged veteran based his request upon the promise of Jehovah. God's word, that he reminded Joshua he had heard, was the foundation of his petition. He cited how the Lord in His providence had kept him alive | these 45 years as evidence that He wished to fulfill His promise to Caleb, s0 that he could prove his faith. The old warrior did not ask for a well protected place, but showed his assigned a section that was the strong Told of the enemy that had filled Israel 45 years before with fear.

Al | though he insisted that at §5 years h was as strong as he was at 40, it was only through God's leadership and {been the only THE EVENING conquered because he followed the Lord wholly. The veteran who patiently waited for 45 years for God to fulfill His promise was held up before the people as an example by Joshua.

Caleb’s successors are found In the history of both Judaism and Chris- tianity. To his own immediate fam- fly the aged warrior passed on more than his Inheritance, for he gave to them the memory of his faith and the record of a life that was free from immorality and iniquity.

The weakness of mod- ern Christianity is that we are not proving our faith by making adven- tures in the fields of service that will prove our faith and obedience to God's word. with the stories of men who have made the great adventure. It has made spiritual glants out of many men who have learned to follow Christ with a wholeheartedness such @s_characterized Caleb. If the message of Armistice day is ldrum be silenced forever, we must | thoroughly Christianize the so-called Christian nations. The gospel of Jesus Christ is the only power that can make possible a new day. We !cannot conquer the world for Him by iolence or the sword.
