Before us is the promised land" OF
blessed experiences and holy delights.
Our promised joys lie beyond the Jordan,
which must test our faith. Whatever is
highest. holiest and best for us may be
ours If, through faith in God. we seek it
beyond our Jordan of sacrifice or trial.
This little picture represents the Jor-
dan river and the pathway which was
opened through the river for the passage
of the children of Israel into their prom
ised land. BY faith the people came to
the waters, and when the feet of them
that bear the Ark of the Covenant
touched the waters. the stream divided,
And all the people passed over Jordan"
This is another of Gods wonderful de-
liverances of His people. and is to us a
parable in action.
The lesson points us to the Christians $
privilege of passing by faith through
the waters and into the Canaan of the
redeemed 10 enjoy ''the rest which re-
maineth for the people of Cod
Suggestions-Draw the representation of
the divided river and the pathway from
the "wildcrness'' to the promised land"
Draw also the Ark of the Covenant, and
note the promises of God to His children,
when thou passest through the waters,
Will be with thee, and through the
waters they shall not overflow thee"

LESSON FOR OCT. Y
CROSSING THE JORDAN.
JOSH, g to iv:7.
Secretary of American Society of Re-
lisous liducation

THE CONTEXT-The DAYS that
elapsed after Gods command to Joshua,
studied last week, We're given to prepara-
| ton. Reuben, Cad and half tribe of
Manasseh, whose possessions lay east of
| the Jordan We're instructed to cross the
| river and help their brethren and then
return. Two spies were sent to Jericho
to learn the condition Of the city and of
the surrounding country On their re-
lurn, all Were greatly encouraged by the
report that the inhabitants We're fear
iul, an indication that God favored Israel
and that the conquest might be easily ac-
complished Breaking camp ut Shittim.
Israel approached the river and there
| rested over the night, prepared to resume
the forward movement in the morning
The whole assembly engaged in religious
exercises, reconsecrating the people to
God. and finally the Lord delivered Il
parting message to Joshua oversees I and
81, promising help and giving specific
| directions, all designed to secure success
THE PLEDGE.-(Vcrscs . and 1O)-Thc
first five verses of our lesson contain
Joshua's address to the people in two
sections He invited all To assemble
about him and hear what the Lord had
said to him, and then pledged the pres
ence of God as they entered Canaan, de-
clarinG that He would drive out the
seven nations then inhabiting the land
(EX. XXXiii:2. This was II reiteration OF
what had been promistcd many times
At that particular moment, il was most
welcome message, the ground Of faith to
all Without it, every one would have
been hearted. 1t was highly i'm
portant that this expedition should lie
undertaken in Il right spirit Every man
must learn to look up and to expect help
from above. Then the religious life Of
the nation would be quickened, and the
purpose of God would be promoted-to
raise up "A people for himself 10 be used
by him in the accomplishment of tar
reaching designs among other peoples in
all after centuries, 1t was IA sublime cX-
hibtion of confidence when Joshua made
this pledge and it was accepted by Is
raci,
THE METIOD.-CNerses II, -, l3)-The
remainder of JoshuaS address was Occu-
pied with an account of the method of
crossing the Jordan. This was to be Or
derby, so arranged as still further to cX-
press the faith OF the people in God and
cultivate their feeling of dependence.
There were three features, each import
ant, 1.-The ark of the covenant should
go first into the Jordan, borne by the
priests Verse %. That signiflod Divine
precedence and leadership. Surely the
people would not fear to follow the ark,
which contained the charter of the ma
ton. @.-As soon as the feet of the
priests should rest in the Jordan, the
waters would be divided and n highway
would be prepared for all tn pass over to
the other side. This would be a miracle
like that which enabled Israel to cross the
Red Sea on leaving Egypt Gen. xiv;2D
proof of Gods presence. 3.-Twelve
men, one from each tribe, should be Sc
lected to witness and afterward to testi-

STATE
MAY
COLLECT
Insurance Claim for Reform
School Fire Valid.
-.
State of Oregon maynOt Lose
$4,000.

A Salem special says:-Attorney.
General Blackburn has reversed his
opinion, and now holds that the State Of
Oregon can collect the $40, 600 insurance
on the industrial building st the Re.
form School which was destroyed by
fire recently Some time ago the matter
WAS submitted to the Attorney.General
and an opinion was rendered to the
effect that the insurance companies
were not liable. Since that time Judge
Blackburn has further investigated the
facts and has found legal authority
which warrants him in aivising the
board that the insurance companies are
liable.
The insurance policies cover "the four
story brick building and additions ad-
journing and communicating Herewith. /"
As the industrial building stood twenty
feet away from the main building aud
was not connected Herewith by any pas
sage-way, or other structure, it was at
first thought the expression adjoining
and communicating Herewith" would
exclude tLe industrial building. Tie
opinion now is that II eau be proven that
Ia making the contracts both the IIsur
ance companies and tho state board in
tended that the policies should cover the
industrial building as well as the main
building.
BY the terms Of the policies the insur
snce companies have 60 days after the
fire within which they can determine
whether to pay the insurance. The
board Of trustees cannot bring suit un-
I'll the 80 days have expired. About 80
days have already expired. The board
has filed with each company a formal
claim rs required by the policies, and If
payment is not made within the stipu.
lated time suits will be brought. George
q. Bingh am has been retained by the
State Board to assist the Attorney Gen.
eral.
