ing to all the ages lint there il mercy
for the chief of sinners.
The red cord of Divine Injunction
reaching from her window TO the ground.
SO that when the people saw that red
cord they knew it was the divine indica-
ton that they should not disturb the
premises; making us think of the divine
cord of a Sayiour's d~eliyerance. the red
cord of a Saviour's kindness. the red
cord of a Saviour's mercy. the red cord
of u rescue. Mercy for the chief of
sinners. Put your trust in that God and
no damage shall befall Won. When our
world shall be more terribly surrounded

But JOshua's troops may not halt
here. The command is: Forward,
march!" There is the city of All; it must
be taken? A scouting party comes back
and says: "JOshua. we can do that with
out you; it as going to he a very easy
job; you just stay here while we 60 and
capture it." They march with a small
regiment in front of that city. The men
of Al look at them and give one yell,
and the Israelites run like reindeer.
The Northern troops at Bull Run did
not make such rapid time as these
with the Canaanites after
them. They never cut such a sorry
figure as when they were on the retreat.
Anybody that goes out in the battles of
God with only half a force, instead of
your taking the men of Al the men Of
Al will take you. Look at the Church
