! to see an army run. And when these
men OF Al looked out and saw those
men OF Joshua In stampede they ex-
pected easy work. They would scatter
them as the equinox the leaves. Oh,
the gleeful and jubilant descent of the
men of Al upon the men Of Joshua!
But their e1hilaration was brief, for
the tide Of battle turned. and these
quondam conquerors left their miser-
able carcasses In the wilderness OF
Bethaven. So 1t always is The tri-

1t will stay long enough to curse your
children after you are dead. Call over
the roll Of bad men who prospered and
see how short was their prosperity.
For awhile, like the men Of Al, they
went from conquest to conquest, but
after awhile disaster rolled back upon
them, and they were divided into three
parts. Misfortune took their property,

world took their soul. am always

tian men do business.
Awaiting Opportunities.
How much may be accomplished by
lying in ambush for opportunities. Are
you hypercritical Of Joshua's maneu-
yer? Do you say that 1t was cheating
for him to take that city by ambus-
cade? Was it wrong for Washington
to kindle campfires on Jersey heights,
giving the impression to the opposing
force that great army was encamped
there when there was none at all? l
answer, If the war was right, then
Joshua was right in his stratagem. He
violated no flag of truce. He broke
no treaty, but by a lawful ambuscade
captured the city Of AL Oh, that we
all knew how to lie in ambush for
opportunities to serve God. The best
of our opportunities do not lie on the
surface, but are secreted. BY tact, by
stratagem, by Christian ambuscade,
you may take almost any castle OF sin
for Christ. Come up toward men with
regular besiegement OF argument,
and you will be defeated, but just wait
until the door of their hearts is set
ajar, or they are off their guard, or
their severe caution is away from
home, and then drop in on them from
a Christian ambuscade. There has
been many a man up to his chin in
scientific portfolios which proved there
was no Christ and no divine revelation
his pen scimeter flung into the heart
Of theological opponents, who never
theless has been discounted and cap
tured for God by some little 3-year-old
child who has got up and put her
snowy arms around his sinewy neck

God.

it was when the division in ambush

first chapter in his successful besiege-
ment. And there are times in your
life when the best thing you can do is
to run. You were once the victim of
strong drink. The demijohn and the
decanter were your fierce foes. They
came down upon you with greater IA; y
than the men of All came upon the men
OF Joshua. Your only safety is to get
away from them. Your dissipating
companions will come around you for
your overthrow. Run for your life!

before you die unless you quit that.
These men Of Al will be too much for
you. Turn your back on the rank and

who have been we'll nigh ruined be-
