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. 1t 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 a 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, Il believe God, that it
shall be even as it was told me-" Caleb
in the tenth verse says the Lord had
kept him alive for forty and five years,
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 q
renewing of strength and youth offs
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 hinders 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 seminaries
and even in the pulpit. Anyone who
follows fully as Caleb did will realize
something of true fellowship with the
Father.

HOW THE GREAT USED TIME.


1t is not accident that helps man in
the world so much as purpose and per-

this as to all other rules, of course, but
it is as certainlXz true that no great and
lasting achievement is accomplished with
out great application and effort.
All great men have. worked for their

bring, but that to some degree at least
we NAV be able to control it. At pres

AN UNkIND WORD.

Warble@ @l4is sweetest roundelay.
A thougntIess boy. whose bow was bent,
a feathered arrow swiftly sent
Right at the songster where he stood,
In all the pride of robinhood.
He did not wish to Kill the bird
Whose joyous roundelay he heard,
But Just fer fun he drew his bow;
In fun he let the arrow go.
Alas! it=struck the pretty bird,
No more shall note of his be heard.
He fell beneath the quivering spray,
And, bleeding, on the green grass lay.
Just once he gasped. and raised his head
And then fell back, eXhausted-dead.
A thoughtless jest untimely sent,
A word that no unkindnesS meant
Just like the boys sharp-pointed dart
May rankle in some dear ones heart
Till friendships song no more we hear;
For friendship, shedding many tear,
In anguish dies at unkind words
As die the pretty stricken birds.

to note that the total area of the United
