DIVIDING THE LAND.

The international Sunday school les
son for Oct. rs in found in Joshua, xiv,
5-15. The memory verses are the
twelfth and fourteenth ones of lesson,
the latter also being the golden text.
AS the Lord commanded the children
of Israel divided the new country
among themselves It is certainly a
pleasant thing to know, as shown in the
sixth verse, as in our daily life, that
there are people who believe God, who
desire only to know what God has said
and who rest on thus saith the
LORD as on the solid rock. Caleb, who,
with Joshua, had gone with the ten to
spy out the land, had confidence in the
word Of the Lord that had been spoken
unto Moses. All through the wilder
ness Wanderings, as the many thou
sands died who were men when Joshua
and Caleb spied out the land, Caleb
held fast the word of Jehovah by the
mouth of Moses that whoever else
might. die His servant Caleb would
enter the land and possess it, because
he wholly followed the Lord. We
think of Paulsin the storm at sea when
all hope was given up, saying to the
souls on that ship as he gave them the
Lords message, 81 believe God, that it
shall be even as it was told me-" Caleb
in the tenth verse says the Lord had
hGpI Illlll alive LUZ IOlly dIu live yCctl .,
and yet he was as strong at this time
as he was on the day that Moses had
sent him. Although eighty-ffve years
of age, yet feeling as strong and we'll
as at the age of forty! 1t is written of
Moses that he was a 120 years old
when he died. His eye was not dim nor
his natural force abated. There is a
renewing of strength and youth off
times enjoyed by those who wait upon
the Lord, but we can quietly leave 1t
all with Him to give us all the days
here in the mortal body that will be
for His glory and our good. He said
in the twelfth verse that if the Lord
be with him he would be able to drive
out all who opposed him. Walled
cities and giants are nothing to men
when God is behind them. Then we are
told that Hebron became the in
herftanee of Caleb because he wholly
followed the Lord. 1t Is unwillingness
to follow fully that binders the Lord
from working in His people as He
would like to, for His eyes run to and
fro through the whole earth to show
Himself strong on behalf of those
whose hearts are whole toward Him.
But where are the whole hearts? How
few. seem willing to stand with God
against the wisdom Of this world,
against culture, society, popular epin-
ion and against the false teachers who
are found in theological senlinaries
and even in the pulpit Anyone who
follows fully as Caleb did will realize
something of true fellowship with the
Father.

THE UNcRoWNEp KING.

The free born citizen gets up, when dew

And sees himself reflected in a trust
made looking glass.
A trust controls the soap he finds at
length upon the stand
And through the favor of some trust he
takes the comb in hand.
His shoes, suspenders, shirt and socks,
the buttons on his coat,
His handkerchief, his necktie and the
collar round his throat
Came from factories that trusts permit
to operate.
a trust allows him to have coal to pile
upon the CRATE.
By yielding to the sugar trust he makes
his coffee sweet,
BY bowling to the beef trust he may have
a steak to eat;
The cracker trust, the flour trust, the
coffee trust likewise,
Takes tribute from the man who dwells
where Freedoms banner flies.
He rises from the table which a trust
leaves in his care,
And on the trust-made hall-tree finds a
trust-made hat to wear.
Now see the free-born citizen upon the
trust-owned car,
BY paying tribute he may ride to where
* his duties are.
He sits before a trust-made desk-a trust
has said he may
And being free and equal he tolls for the
= trust all day;
At night trust provides his light, and
when his prayers are said
The uncrowned king devoutly kneels be-
side a trust-made bed
Thus all his trusts bound up in trusts
81 that treat him as they please,
He lives through favor of the trusts. to
them he bends his knees;
Ah,i let us trust that when he dies and
s leaves this world Of care,
Some trust will watt him to the skies and
and give him glory there.
