TEACHING POINTS.

INTRoDUCTIoN.-To Israel, even before Rome
we are indebted for the example of nation gov
erned by Law-The Law was for Israel human
necessity !; it was in sense an achievement; yet the
giving of it was Divine grace.-The Law from
Mount Sinai is not contravened but expounded by
the Law from the Mount of Beatitudes - Obed
ence, alike in the Decalogue and in the Sermon on
the Mount, is enjoned because of Gods goodness
and Fatherhood. Righteousness is not made con-
dition of escaping future, but present, doom.
a. V. I, 2. GOa's Relation TO Israel What
God had done for his people in delivering them
from their hard bondage in Egypt was the ground
of the Divine appeal of obedience to the Ten
Words.-Have we no divine blessings in our per-
sonal past, for which we are under obligation to
render grateful obediencel
o. V. s-Iz. Man's DnkyIo God. 1t is the be-
ginning of divine life to choose God above as our
God. With the supreme affection set upon the
Eternal Goodness, and fed by his constant realized
presence all the duties of the first table are fulfilled
from an inward cheerful necessity.-When one
loves God, how can he endure the thought Of wor-
shipping an doll-When one loves the Universal
Father the All-Perfect, what pleasure or comfort
could he find in prostrating himself before craven
image that misrepresents and caricatures the true
thought of Godl-When one habitually has h.ly
and blessed thoughts of God how can he ever speak
a profane word, hear profane word uttered
without inward pang when one finds his
serenest Joy in medtating on Gods character and
providence, how blessed is the Sabbath, the day
wrested from the besetting world how easy then to
keep it holy.--When one feels the purpose of God
running through the generations, how will he bless
God for his parents and honor them for the Fathers
sake.-Grateful love to God is the fountain Of all
true religion.
60 V. 1912 Mans Duly 10 Man. When we
have that God is the Father of ALL we are bound
to esteem every human being as a child of our
Father.-Then we shall exalt human life as given
Of God, and belonging to him. We shall thank our
Father for our own being, and set priceless value
on every human being-Because Of our exaltation
OF humanity we shall regard the honor of every
woman as we do the honor of our mother. We can
not degrade any woman sister Of our humanity;
neither can we have personal share completely

THE ESSON STORY.

The time has come when the children
of Israel are to rise out of their tribal ex
istence and form for themselves nation.
Hitherto, from the time when, FIVE hun
dred years before, Abraham had come out
of Chaldea the Hebrew people had been
but pilgrims and sojourners in the earth.
They had no domain, no government, no
constitution; no state, save as it was repre-
sented in their chief.
The bond that held the children of Israel
together was their faith in one God. This
faith was yet very crude; it was often in
the multitude strangely near to idolatrous
polytheism. Yet the representative and
influential Hebrews had chung loyalty to
the monotheism of Abraham. There was
in the Hebrew populace a dominating
sense of being Chosen People. They
ments to the spirit of the prophecy that
they were to be in way divinely foreseen
peculiar nation, whose God should be
Jehovah.
The immediate occasion of the promul-
cation of the Ten Words (Which is the
meaning of the Greek Word Decalogue),
was the impossibility of longer maintaining
strictly personal government. For
season it had occupied an undue part of
Moses time to render personal judgments
in disputes among his people. At his
father-in-law Jethro's suggestion, he APP
pointed able men as rulers of the people,
making them rulers of thousands, of hun
dreds, of fifties, and of tens. A graded
system for administering justice was thus
introduced. But the question arose, By
what standard are these judges to render
judgment? To leave each to his own de-
cision would make the scheme of govern
ment complicated personal tyranny.
Each Judge would in that case be in his
sphere an autocrat Collisions, complca-
tons, discomfort, would be the inevitable
result.
Under such circumstances written law
for the nation became an imperative neces-
sity.
The Decalogue is the constitution of the
Hebrew nation.
Many other laws and precepts, both
ethical and ritual, were added to these
Ten Words But to this day the germ of
the Hebrew Theocracy is in the Law de-
clared on Sinai.
These Ten Prohibitions are the basis of
all true reverence and morality.
L. Gods Relation to Israel,-vs.
IL.
1t was the province of Moses, the recog-
nized chief of the Theocracy, to speak to
the children of Israel in Gods name. The
dramatic description of the PRONUNCIATION
of the Law represents God as coming
down to the top of Mount Sinai, and
Moses going up to meet him; that there,
in the midst of fire and smoke and sound
like great trumpet, Moses received from
the Voice of God these holy Ten Words.
1t is also represented that the very finger
of God engraved the Ten Prohibitions on
the two tables of stone. We assume, how
ever. that all the circumstances which

INTRODUCTION.
EXODUS 20 : I-I7.


After year devoted to the study of
the Life of Jesus we return to the study of
Old Testament history. We shall in our
half-year series give attention to the period
B.C. I4oI-Io6z) during which the Hebrew
nation was organized and consolidated.
This period, from the giving of the Ten
Commandments to the reign of David, is
an importont section of Jewish history.
Our last study of the Old Testament,
ending year ago, brought us down to the
passage of the Red Sea and the beginning
of the Wilderness Wanderings. We pre-
viously studied the Hebrew tradition of
the beginning of the human race in the
first Adam. We studied the garden-alle-
CORY of mans moral awakening. We
found in the story of Cain and Abel
tradition of the first division of mankind
into the shepherd and agricultural callings.
We saw in the tradion of Noah the his
torical evidence of the failure of the first
civilization because of its moral corrup-
ton. We saw in the call of Abraham the
prophetic beginning of the Hebrew nation,
the nation whose mission it was to wit
ness to the world that there is One God.
We saw in the covenant of the Spirit with
Abraham the promise that in him and his
descendants the whole world should be
blessed. In the tragedy of Sodom and
Gomorrah we saw how destructive SEN
sualism persisted, and threatened second
moral failure of the race. In Abraham's
proffered sacrifice of his son Isaac, which
was plainly forbidden by the Voice of the
Spirit, we saw that human altar-sacrifces
were forbidden by the Abrahamic religion.
In the story of Esau selling his birthright
we learned how Jacob, the younger son of
Isaac, secured by cunning the inheritance
from his father which belonged to his
brother Esau, Esau thereby becoming the
progenitor of the Edomites. In the story
of Jacob at Bethel we saw how Jacob was
brought face to face with the invisible
realities; and in his prevailing prayer at
Peniel we saw him transformed into new
character, an unselfsh man of God, then
named by the Spirit Israel, The Prince of
God,-the name Israelites being to this
day commonly assumed by this branch of
Tic <1Di dlldllilC QCoNCuidntos LII tuS otOiy
of Joseph we saw how the Israelites were
led to begin their long sojourn of four
hundred years in Egypt, where they were
for period treated with favor, but were
afterwards oppressed. In the story of
Moses we saw how deliverer was raised
up and how he was providentially trained
for his great work. The emancipation of
the Hebrews was resisted by the reigning
pharaohs; but by the remarkable leader
ship of Moses and by favor of Providence,
the captives were led out of their bondage,
their going forth being memorialized by
the Passover; and when the army of God
seemed destined to fall again into the
hands of their oppressors, the Red Sea
opened to give it a safe passage through,
while the pursuing Egyptian army was
drowned in the returning food.-SO
began the Wilderness Wanderings of
the Children of Israel.

MINISTER'S AND HOPS.
A Methodist Conference Thanks God
Tor Hop Lice.

Tor Hop Lice.
The following paragraphs ale from
the Puget Sound conference proceed
ings. The conference is now in session
at Seattle:
When A. j. Hansen, Of Puyallup,
arose to present his report, he said he
had some good news from that hop
country. The hop crop, the main sup
port Of the people, was failure; the
crop had been cursed by God.
Bishop Bowman The hops have not
grown.
DR.. Hansen-Tbey have grown, but
have been cursed by the hop louise.
Bishop Bowman-Good.
And from all over the room voices
could be heard giving utterance to the
fervent calculations: "rhank God"
A HOP MAN HITS BACK.
Ezra Meeker, Of Puyallup, one of tie
largest hopgrowers in the state of
Washington, has answered the minis
ters of the Puget sound conference, who
thank God for the destruction of the
hop crop. In a letter to the Post-In
telligencer, Mr. Meeker ssrcastically
said:
"For the edi6cetioD Of the reverend
fathers and fervent brethren 1 wish to
publish to them and to the world that
/ have beat God, for have 500 acres uf
hops at Puyallup aud Kent thst are
free from lice, tue curse Of Cod Snd
that l believe 1t was the work of AZ
emulsion Of whale oil soap and quassia
spray ed on the vines that. thwarted
Gods purr ose to 'curse' me and Others
who extern ihated the lice.
"0ne Is almost reauy to ask II this
indeed is the nineteenth century of
enlightmeDt, to hear such utterances
gravely made by men supposed to he
expounders of that great religion of
love as promulgated by the great
teacher.
II want to recall to the memory Of
the Rev. Mr.. Hansen that tue churcb
In which he had been preaching for q
year past was built In great part by
money contributed from gains of this
business 'cursad by God For myself
can inform him that M cltizsn OF
Puyallup contributed g400 To buy the
ground upon which that church edi flee
ls built, every cent Of which came from
this same hop business cursed by God
For myself would thank God IL they
would return the money aud thus ease
their guilty consciences."
The Seattle p. /. says: The hop crop
In Puyallup has been failure; 1t was q
failure becauLe the lice were permitted
to Over-run II; they were permitted to
over run IL because the prlce'is 80 low
here; the price Is 80 low here because
the crop has been so plentiful nearer
the markets. The benehcence OF nature
has resulted In fertility and superior
quality In the state Of New York and
in Germany, ana there is consequently
no demand for hops everywhere be-
cause many OF tue great consumers
have latterly substituted for the pleas
ant natural product an artificial article
whose chemical properties are similar,
but whose wholesomeness is more
doubtful.
All these things the hop growers of
Puget Sound know. They understand
perfectly that had the curse only
fallen upon other hop dirtrlcts, the
price here would have been higher, the
lice would have been cleansed of the
vines, aud there would have been no
"curse" on Puyallup hops. Even men
with no very profound knowledge of
polemics may question the justice Of
putting the curse on only one part Of
the producing districts.
