NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Gods Pledge.-Just as He does
now to those who are about entering
upon the warfare of life, God assured
Joshua that He would not fail him nor
forsake him. All that he required of
Joshua was that he should be strong
and of good courage and faithfully
keep Gods law. The history upon
which we enter shows how rerfectly
God redeemed His promise. The les
sons for the quarter emphasize the
truth that "In God is our help" That
is fact that we need to realize in our
own life's conflict.
