cattle. After awhile tho cattle were all
in the possession or the Government, and
then the Hebrews bought corn from the
Government by surrendering themselves
as slaves
Then began slavery in Egypt The
Government owned all the Hebrews.
And let modern lunatics, who in Ameri-
ca propose handing over telegraph COM
panies and railroads aud other things to
be run by Government see the folly or
letting Government get its hands on
everything. | would rather trust tho
people than any government the United
States ever had or will have Woe
worth the day when legislators and con-
crosses and administrations get posses
sion OF anything more than it is neccs-
sary for them to have That would be
the revival in this land of that old
Egyptian tyranny for which God has
never had anything but red hot thunder
| bolts.
But through such unwisc processes
Israel was enslaved in Egypt and the
long line OF agonies began all up and
down the Nile. Heavier and sharper
fell the lash, hungrier and ghastlier
| grew the workmep, louder and longer
went up the prayer, until three millions
Of the cnslaved were crying: "Ga, AL
Iah! va, AlIahn' 0 God! O God!
Who're was help to come from? Not
the throne, Pharaoh sat upon that.
Not the army, Pharaoh's officers COM
manded that Not surrounding nations;
Pharaoh's threat made them tromble.
Not the gods Ammon and Osiris or the
goddess Isis, for Pharaoh built their
temples out Of this diabolical scrvitudc.
But one hot day the Princess ThonoriS,
the daughter Of Pharaoh, while in her
bathing house on the banks OF the Nile,
has word brought her that there is n
baby atloat on the river in cradle made
out of big leaves.
OF course there is excitement all up
and down the banks, for an ordinary
baby in an ordinary cradle attracts
smiling attention, but an infant in
cradle of papyrus rocking on a river
arouscs not only admiration but curiosity.
Who made that boat? Who made it
watcrtght with bitumcn? Who launched
| it? Reckless Of the crocodiles who lay
baslling themselves in the sun, the
maidcns wade in and snatch up the
child, and first one carries HIM and then
another carries him, and all the way up
| the bank he runs n gantlct OF CaresSes,
till ThonoriS PUSHES out of the bathing
house and says: "Bcautiful founding,
! will adopt you as my own You shall
yot wear the Egyptian crown and sit on
the Egyptian throne"
No! No! No, lie is to be tho cman-
cipator Of the Hebrews. Tell it in all
the brick lilns. Tell it among all those
who are writing under the lash. Tell
it among all the castles of Memphis and
IIcliopoIis and Ioan and Thcbcs. Be-
fore him Il sea will part. On mountain
top, alone, this one will receive from the
Almighty law that is to be the foun-
dation of all good law while the world
lasts. When he is dead, God will come
down on Ncbo and alone bury him, no
man or woman or angel worthy to at
tend the obscquics.
The child grows UP and goes out al d
studios the horrors of Egyptian oppres-
sion and supprcsscs his Indignation, for
the right time has not come, although
once for minute he let fly, and when
he saw Il tasLmaSter put the whip on
the back Of Il workman who was doing
his best, and heard tho poor fellow cry
and saw the blood squirt, Moses doubled
up his fist and struck him on the temple
till the cruel william rolled over in the
sand exanimate and never swung the
lash again. Served him right!
But, Moses, are you going to under
take the impossibiitos? You feel that
YOU are going to free the Hebrews from
bondage But where is your army?
Where is your navy? Not II sword havo
you, not a spear, not Il chariot, not
horse. All. God was on his sid" and He
| has an army OF his own. The snoWstorms
are on Gods Sidc-witneSS the snow
| banks in which the French army Of in
vasion were buried on their way back
from Moscow. The lain is on His side
witness the 18th Of June at Waterloo,
when the tempest so saturated the road
that the attack could not be made on
| Wclington's forces until IL O'Clock and
| he was strong enough TO hold out unnl
! achievements arrived.
Had that battle been opened at 5
o'clock in the morning instead of at II,
the destiny of Europe would have been
turned the wrong way. The heavy rain
decided everything. SO also are the
winds and tho waves on Gods side
witness The Amanda with $50 ships, g.,
| $50 guns and 5000 sailors, and 20, 600
soldiers sent out by Philip IL. of Spain to
conquer England.
What became of those mon aud that
shipping? Ask the wind and the waves
all along the English and Irish coasts.
The men and tho ships all wrecked or
drowned or scattered. SO | expect that
! Moses ll'be helped in reScuing the Is
raeltcs by a special wcaponrY. To the
! Egyptian the Nile was II deity Its
waters were then as now very delicious.
1t was tho finest natural beverage of all
| the earth. We have no such love for the
Hudson, and Germans have no such love
! for the Rhine, and Russians have no
such love for the Nolga, rs the Egyptians
| have love for the Nile
But one uaT, when Pharaoh comes
down to this river, Moses takes Il stick
| and whips the waters, and they turn into
the cores Of slaughter house, and
| through the SluiCcS and fish ponds the
/ incarnadined liquid backs up into the
| land, and the mAlodor whclms every
thing from mud howell to throne room
. Then came the frogs with horrible croall
