National Construction.
1t is interesting 20 watch nation
grow. That is just what we have been
doing for the last three months in our
studies in the Old Testament We have
been afforded an opportunity for the
study OF problems OF national develop
ment I'm a period OF construction, when q
peculiar people In q strange land were
wrestling with the difficulties Of beating
back stalwart hea;hen foes without and
conteHding against the trcacherous evil
which lurked within their own hearts. It
takes two factors to make a true man on
true nation. to wi: God through His
providences and visitations. and the
man or nation in their ready and faith
ful response to God. His spirit. and His
laws. These are the fundamental laws
OF character building, and nation build
ing. No man or nation can become great
and powerful without conforming to the
laws OF God. II may be an unconscious
obedience. and often very imperfect
obedience. but still. there must be an
aim and a struggle toward some kind o.
high ideals. righteousness exalteth a
nation. and sin Is a shame to any peo-
pie"
Our studies began with the entrance
OF the Israelites into the Promised Land
resembling an individual who enters
upon a new life and higher endeavor az
ter the ideals OF true living. The con-
quest OF Canaan under the leadership OF
Joshua and under the guidance Of Je-
I hovah began With the conquest came
I both new opportunities and new dangers
/ Israel never wholly rose TO the height ol
her opportunity. nor perfectly resisted
/ the new temptations. Hence its history
from the time OF the conquest on became

relapses from the high idealism OF the
Mosaic law. while Frightened also or

would have fallen. no strongholds Of sin
would have remained defensed and de-
lant. no apcstasies to the worship Of
cruel Baal would have occurred. But
in place Of the fathers who had wholly
followed the Lord arose a generation
OF sons and daughters whose devotion
10 Jehovah grew cold as material riches
increased and the enervating atmOs-
phere OF a luKuriant PaIestinean life cx-
ercised a bonumbiEg influence upon their
faith and zeal. The Israelites. even
though they had entered the Promised
Land. were by no means an ideal pco-
PIE. They were subject TO the tempta-
tions and passions OF ordinary human
ity. To tame natural ferocity ana 10
protect the rights Of accused persons
cities Of refuge were established 10
serve as safeguards against lynch law
and also as types Of heaven; of souls
who through the merits and grace oI
the Divine Redeemer are saved from
spiritual ruin. During the period OF
the judges the ceuse Of religion among
the Israelites might seem 10 have gone
backward. yet in every generation a
remnant or residue was present that
continued loyal to God, and transmitted
the divine teaching to their children af-
ter them. Evil times develop strong
characters. Gideon and his three hun
dred, who so remarkably championed
tie cause Of Israel typify those suc-
cessful ninorities Of thoroughly conse-
Grated souls 10 whom God every now and
then in history grants the joy OF signal
victory. The history Of Israel abounds
in illustrations Of the fact that a few
with God on their side are mightier
than a vast amy. Samuel. az a boy,
judge. and prcPhet, serves as p connect
ing link between the wilder and more
turbulent period OF the judges and the
somewhat more systematic regime OF
the monarchy The collapse OF the
house Of Eli confirmed Samuels faith in
the inoxcrableBess Of self-enforcing
moral law The character OF samuel
the patriot and seer IS one Of the most
attractive in the whole OF biblical biog-
raphy. II the church Of today had in f.
more such characters there would be
more people now outside its membership
who. like the converted heathen. Ruth.
would be found saying. Thy people
shall be my people and thy God M
