So the burden OF oppression was
lifted. but another burden .of Egypt Is
made up OF deserts Indeed. Africa In
n great continent for deserts Libyan
desert Sahara desert, deserts here and
there and yonder condemning vast re-
/ gions of Africa to barrenness-one OF
the deserts 5000 miles long and 900
miles wide, But all those deserts will
yet be flooded and so made fertile. Do
Lcsscps says IL can be done, and he who
planned the Sucz Canal, which marrics
the Red Sea and the Mediterranean,
knows what he Is talking about. The
human race is so multiplied that IL
must have more cultivated land, and
the world must abolish its deserts
| Eight hundred million of the human
race are now living on land not blest
with rains, but dependent on irrigation,
and we want by irrigation To make
room for 500, 900. 900 more. By irriga-
ton the prophecy will he fulfilled, and
'thc desert will blossom ns the rose"
So from Egypt the burden OF sand will
be lifted.
Another burden Of Egypt To De lifted
Is the burden of Mohammrdauism, al
though there are some good things
about that religion. Its disciples must
always wash before they pray, and thai
is five times Il day. A commendablo
grace Is cleanliness Strong drink is
positively forbidden by Mohammcdan-
ism, and, though some may have seen a
drunken Mohammcdan, | never saw

the enemies Of good womanhOod. Mo-

Egypt, and by setting up sinful Arab

an overwhelming blasphcmy. May God

But before forget ! must put more
emphasis upon the fact that the last

Of the Hebrews was their being com
PEELED TO make bricks without straw.
That was the last straw that broke the
camcls back God would allow the
deSpotism against his people 10 go no
further Mating bricks without straw!
That oppression still goes on. De-
mand of your wife appropriate ward
robe and bountiful table without pro-
vidng the means necessary, bricks with
out straw. Cities demanding in the
public school faithful and successful in
struction without giving the teachers
competent livelihood; bricks without
straw. United States government de-
handing Of senators and congressman
at Washington full attendance To the
interests Of the people, but on compcn-
sation which may have done well
enough when twenty-five cents went
as far as n dollar now, but In these
times not sufficient 10 preserve their
influence and rcspectability; bricks
without straw. In many parts OF the
land churches demanding of pastors
vigorous sermons and sympathetic
service on starvation salary, sanctified
Ciceros on 500 year; bricks without
straw. That is one reason why there
arc so many poor bricks. In all de-
partmcnts, bricks not even.
