up ambuscades.
There are great many in the Lords
army who would like to go out on CAM
paign with satin slippers and holding UNI
brellas over their heads to keep off the
heavy dew, and having rations of canvas
back ducks and lemon custards. If they
can not have them they want to go home.
They think it is unhealthy among SO many
bullets!
l believe that the next twelve months
will be the most stupendous year that
Heaven ever saw. The nations are quak-
ing now with the coming of God. 1t will
be year of successes for the men of
Joshua, but of doom for the men of All.
You put your ear to the rail track and you
can hear the train coming miles away. So
1 put my ear to the ground and hear the
laundering on of the lightning train of
Gods mercies and judgments. The
mercy of God is first to be tried
upon this nation. 1t will be preached in
the pulpits, in theaters, on the streets,
everywhere. People will be invited to
accept the mercy of the Gospel and
the story and the song and the prayer will
be mercy" But suppose they do not. ac-
cept the offer of mercy-what then: Then
grasshoppers will eat the crops, and the
freshets will devastate the valleys, and
the defalcations will swallow the money
markets, and the fires will burn the cities,
and the earth will quake from pole to pole.
Year of mercies and of judgments. Year
of invitation and of warning. Year Of
jubilee and of woe. Which side. are you
going to be on. With the men of Al or the
men of Joshua: Pass over this Sabbath
into the ranks Of Israel. would clap my
hands at the joy of your coming. You will
have poor chance for this world and the
world to come without Jesus. You can not
stand what is to come upon yo1 and upon
the world unless you have the pardon and
the comfort and the help of Christ. Come
over. On this side is your happiness and
safety, ON the other side is disquietude
and despair. Eternal defeat to the men
of All. Eternal victory to the men Of
Joshua!

hiss out: 1.-THE triumph of the wicked is
short" Alas for the men of Al when
Joshua stretches out his spear toward the
city.
Lesson the third: How much may be ac-
complished by lying in ambush for oppor-
tunities. Are you hypercritical of Joshua's
maneuver? Do you say that it was cheat
ing for him to take that city by ambus-
cade! Was it wrong for Washington to
kindle camp fires on New Jersey heights,
giving the impression to the opposing force
that great army was encamped there
when there was none at all. l answer, if
the war was right, then Joshua was right
in his stratagem. He violated no flag of
truce. He broke no treaty, but by lawful
ambuscade captured the city of Al. O.
that We all knew how to lie in ambush for
opportunities to serve God. The best of
our opportunities do not lie on the surface,
but are secreted: by tact. by stratagem.
by Christian ambuScade, you NAV take
almost any castle of sin for Christ Come
up toward men with a regular besiegement
of argument and You will be defeated;
but just wait until the door OF their
hearts is set ajar, or they are off their
guard, or their severe caution is away
from home. and then drop in on them from
Christian ambuscade. There has been
many man up to his chin in scientific
portfolios which proved there was no
Christ and no divine revelation, his pen a
sclmetar flung into the heart Of theological
opponents, who, nevertheless, has been
discounted and captured for God by some
little three-year-old child who has got up
and put her snowy arms around his sinewy
neck. and asked some simple question
