CHRISTIAN WARFARE
DR.. Talmage Draws a Lesson from
Joshua's Victories.
Encouraging Words for Those En-
gagged in the battles of Life
Coda Soldiers Never Turn
backward.

Washington,
In this discourse DR.. Talmage fol
lows Joshua on his triumphal march
and speaks encouraging words to all
who are engaged in the battles of this
lifei text, Joshua, 1:5: There shall
not any mar be able to stand before
thee all the days of thy life"
Moses was dead. A beautiful tradi-
ton says the Lord kissed him and in
that act drew forth the soul of the
dying lawgiver. He had been buried,
only one person at the funeral, the
same one who kissed him. But God
never takes a man away from any
place of usefulness until he has some
one ready to replace him. The Lord
does not go looking around amid a
great variety of candidates to find
some one especially fitted for the va
Gated position. He makes a man for
that place. Moses has passed off the
stage, and Joshua, the hero, puts his
foot on the platform of history SO
solidly that all the ages echo with the
tread. He was a magnificent fighter,
but he always fought on the right
side, and he never fought unless God

shall not any man be able to stand be-
fore thee all the days of thy life"
God fulfilled this promise, although
Joshua's first battle was with the
