Sermonisers ara naturally SO busy In get
ting the Israei.cs safely through the parted
Red sea and the Egyptians submerged In the
returning waters that but little time is or.
/ dinarlly given to what the Lords people did
after they got well up high and dry on the
beach. That was the beach OF the Red sea
which is at its greatest width zoo miles and
| at its least width u miles. Why is the adj
| lectiye red" used In describing this water.
1t h called the Red sea because the noun.
tain, on its western coast look as though
| sprhkicd with brick dust. and the water L
| colo-ed with red seaweed and has red
zoophyte and red coral.
This sea was cut by the keels Of Egyptian,
Phnnician and Arabic shipping. It was nc
Insignificant pond or puddle on tho beach Of
which my text calls US to stand, | heal
upon 1t the sound Of tanbourine, for which
the tirnsrel was only another name--an in

| hoop, with pieces OF metal fixed in the sides
OF it, which made a jingling sound,
and over which hoop piece OF parch-
ment was distended, and this was beaten by

The Israelites, standing on the beach of
the Bed sea-, were making muse on their de-
iverense from the pursuing Egyptians, and /
hear the Israelitish men with their deep bass
voices, and hear tho timbrel of Miriam as
she leads the women in their jubilee. Rather
lively Instruments, yousay, for religious SER
vioS, the timbrel or talnbourine. But Think
God sanctioned it. And l rather think we
will have to pu. a little more OF the festive
/ into our religious services and drive out the
| dolorous and funereal, and the day may
come when the timbrel will resume its place
in the Sanctuary. But that which occupied
| the attention of all the men and women OF
! that Isfaelitsh host was the celebration OF
/ their victory. They had crossed. They had
trihnphed. They were free.
/ More wonder was this victory and defeat
than When the hosts of Richard oTercame the
hosts of Saladin at Azotus, than when at
Bannockburn Scotland was set fres, than
when the Earl OF Northumberland was
driven back at Branham Moor, than when at
the battle OF Wakefield York was slain, than
| when at Bosworth Field Richard was LETT
dead, than when the Athenians under Mil
tlades at Marathon put the Persians TO flight,
for this victory OF my text was gained with
| out sword or catapult Or spear. The weapon
was lifted and Frustrated sea. "And
Miriam, tho prophecies, the sister OF Aaron,
took tinf5rel in her hand, and all the
