Who launched itY Reckless OF the
crOeOdiles who lay baslzing themselves
In the sun, the maidsns wade IN aud
snatch up the child, aud first one ear
ries him and then another carries him,
aud all the way up the bank he rams a
gauntlet of esresses. till Ehonoris

says: Beautiful founding, will
adopt you as my own You shall yet
wear the Egyptian crown and sit on
the Egyptian throne" No! No! MOI

Hebrews. Before Him 3 sea will part

But Moses, are you going to under
take the responsibilities. You feel that
you are going to free the Hebrews
/ from bondage. But where is your
/ army? Where is your navy? Not a
/ sword have you, not 2 spear, not
/ chariot, not a horse. Ali God was on
/ his side and he has an army of his own.
/ The snow storms are On Gods side;
witness the snow banks in which the
French army of invasion were buried
on their way back from Moscow. The
rain was on his side; witness the 18th
of June at Waterloo when the tempests
so satusted the road that the attack
could not be made on Wellington's
forces until eleven o'clock and he was
strong enough to hold out until rein
| fOrcements arrived. Had the battle
been opened at five o'clock in the
morning instead OF at eleven the des-
tiny of Europe would have been turned
the wrong way. The heavy rains de-
cided everything. So are the winds and
the waves on Gods side So I expect
that Moses will be helped in rescuing
the Israelites by a special weapOnry.
To the Egyptians the Nile was a
deity. It's waters were then as now
very delicious 1t was the finest natural
beverage of all the earth We have no
such love for the Hudson, and Germans
have no such love for the Rhine. aud
Russians have no such love for the
Volga. as the Egyptians have love for
the Nile. But one day when Pharaoh
comes down to this river, Moses takes
a stick and whips the waters and they
turn into the gore of a slaughter house,
and through the sluices and fish ponds
the incarnadined liquid backs up into
the land and the malodor whelms every
thing from mud novel to throne room.
Then came the frogs with horrible
croak all over every thing.
Then this people, clearly almost to
fastidicusness, were infested with in
sects that belong to the filthy and I'M
lkempt, and the air buzzed and buzzed
with flies, and then the diste mper
started cows to believing aud horses
to neighing, and cameIs to grooming as
they rolled over and expired And
then bOils, one of which will put a man
in wretchedness, came in clusters from
the top of the head to the sole of the
foot And then the clouds dropped
hail and lightning. And then locusts
came in, swaFms of them, worse than
the grasshoppers ever were in Kansas,
and then darkness dropped for three
days SO that the people could not see
their hand before their face, great
surges of midnight covering them And
last of all, on the night of April IS,
about 1900 years before Christ, the
Destroying Angel sweeps past, and hear
it all night long, the flap! flap! flap! of
his awful wings until Egypt rolled on,
a great hearse, the eldest child dead in
every Egyptian home. The eldest son
OF Pharaoh expired that night in the
palace.
The IsraeIitish homes, however, were
untouched But these homes were full
of preparation, for now is your chance,
o ys wrouged Hebrews! Snatch up
what pieces OF food you can and to the
desert! Away! The man who was
Graded in the basket of papyrus on the
Nile will lead you Up! Upl This is
the night of your rescue. They gather
together at a signal Alexander's
armies ana all the armies of olden time
were led by torches on high poles,
great crests OF fire; and the Lord Al
mighty l1indles a torch not held by hui
man hands, but by omnipOtent hand
Not made out of straw or oil. but
kindled out of the atmosphere, such a
torch the world never saw before
and never will see again
On that supernatural fiambeau more
than 1000. O0O refugees set their eyes.
Moses and Aaron lead on. Then come
the families of Israel Then come the
herds and hociSs moving on across the
sands to what is the beach of waters
now called Bahr-el- Kulzum, but called
in the Bible the Red sea
After three days march the Israel
itish refugees eucamped for the night
on the bank of the Red sea. As the
shadows begin to fall, in the distance
is seen the host of Pharaoh in pursuit.
Aud the rumbliug of the wheels and
the curse of Infatuated Egyptians came
down with the darkness But the Lord
opened the crystal gates of Bahr-el- Izut-
yum and the enslaVed Israelitss passed
into liberty and then the crystal
gates of the sea rolled shut against the
Egyptian pursuers- but the Red sea

the warriors, aud left the proud host a
wreck on the Arabian sands. Then
two chorouses arose, and Moses led the
men in the one, and Miriam led the
women IN the other. and the women
beat time with their feet. The record
says: "All the women went out after
her with tinbrels aud with dances
And Miriam answered them: Sing ye
to the Lord, for He hath triumPhed
gloriously; the horse and his rider hath
He thrown into the sea >"
So the burden Of oppression was
lifted, but another burden of Egypt is
made up of deserts Indeed. Africa is
a great continent for deserts The
human race is SO multiplied that it must
have more cultivated land and the
world must abolish its deserts. By
irrigation the prophecy Will be full filled.
and 1.-The desert will blossom as the
rose" So from Egypt the burden of
sand will be lifted.
Another burden OF Egypt to be lifted
is the burden of Mohammedauiszn. al
