MAN'> GREAT FAILURH.
Man Is a stupendous failure. God on Mount Horeo
shouted the law to man. and said, oh, yes. Lord,
we'l keep tho law wen not break this Thy command
And the very first commandment was, Thou shat not
have other gods" Then Moses and Joshua
go TO have an interview with God, and
tho people whom they had left behind at
once begin to say, Make us god And the golden
calf was made and they worshiped It, When Moses ana
Joshua returned from Horeb they heard great shout
Ta do you hear that shoutf Is 1t the shout OF victory
OF those who rejoicing IN conGuestf No. IL
