The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1891-11-02


OF the ancients Jacobs descendants ran
idly multiplied After awhile Egypt took
a turn at famine. and those descendants OF
Jacob, the Israelites, came TO a great store
house which Joseph had provided, and paid
In money for corn But after awhile the
money gave out and then they paid in cat
tie. After awhile the cattle were all in pos
session OF the government and then the He
brews bought corn from the government by
surrendering themselves as slaves.
Then began slavery in Egypt The gov.
ernment owned all the Hebrews. And LET
modern lunatics. who in America propose
handing over telegraph companies and rail-
roads and other things TO be run bY govern

ats hands on everything. / would rather
trust the people than any government the
United States ever had or will have Woe
worth the day when Legislators and con-
crosses and administrations get possession
of anything mors than it is necessary 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 thunderbolts. But through sucn
uuwise processes Israel was enslaved In
Egypt. and the long Lac Of agonies began

Not surrounding nations, Pharaoh's threat
made them all tremble- Not the gods Am

Pharaoh built their temples out of the
groans Of this diabolical servitude. 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 baby afioat on the river in
a cradle made Of big leaves. OF course there

rushes out Of the bathing house and says:
Beautiful founding, l will adopt you as

crown and sit on the Egyptian throne. /"

who was doing his best and heard the poor
fellow cry and saw the blood squirt, Moses
doubled up his list and struck him on the

the sand exanimate and never swung the
lash again. Served him right
But Moses, are you going to undertake
the impassibilitiesf You feel that you are
going TO free the Hebrews from bondage,
but where is your armyg Where is your
navyf Not sword have you, not a spear,
not chariot, not a horse. All! 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 is on his side. Witness
the 18th OF June at Waterloo, when the
tempests so saturated the road that the at
tack could not be made on Wellington'S
forces until eleven o'clock and he was
strong enough TO hold out until reinforce
ments arrived. Had that battle been
opened at five o'clock in the morning in
stead OF at eleven, the destiny Of Europe
would have been turned the wrong way
The heavy rain decided everything. So
also are the winds and the waves on Gods
side: witness the Armada with one hundred
and fifty ships and twenty-six hundred and
titty guns and eight thousand sailors and
twenty thousand soldiers sent out by Philip
II. of Spain TO conquer England What
