TEXT: Though ye have lain among the
pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of dove
covered with silver, and her feathers with
yellow gold."-Psalms xviii: 13.
/ suppose you know what the Israelites
did down in Egyptian serfdom. They made
bricks. Amid the utensils of the brick kiln
there were also other utensils of cookery
the kettles, the pots, the pans, with which
they prepared their daily food. and when
these slaves, tired of the days work lay
down to rest, they lay down amid the i'm
plements of cookery and the implements of
hard work. When they arose in the morn
ing they found their garments covered wit h
the clay and the smoke and the dust and
besmirched and beGrimed with the utensils
of cookery. But after awhile the Lord
broke up that slavery, and He took these
poor slaves into n land where they had bet
ter garb, bright and clean and beautiful ap-
parel. No moro bricks for them to make.
Let Pharaoh make his own bricks. When
David in my text Comes to describe the
transition of these poor Israelites from their
bondage amid the brick kilns into the glori-
Gus emancipation for which God had pre-
pared them, he says: Though ye have
lain among the pots, yet shall ye be rs the
wings Of a dove covered with silver, and
her feathers with yellow Gold.'
