Joshua said, Lord, the battle can't be
foute before the sun goes down behind
the Western hills And the Lord said,
Joshua, tell the sun to stand still upon
Gideon, and thou moon, in the valley OF
Ajalon.h So the sun stood still in the

would tumble down and the territories
turn over, and you and / would be stand

better than cherish 1t ourselves, and teach
our children to cherish. But don't be-
lieve that the earth turn over, for you
