THE CALL OF MOSES.

The Epworth league topic for Sept.
6 is found in Exodus ill.,, 1-2. Had
Moses kept informed of the progress
of events In Egypt during all the years
of his exile? 1t would have been
singular if he had not heard of the
more important affairs taking place. as
the caravans trading between Arabia
and Egypt passed back and forth over
the desert pathways and around the
camp fires discussed the latest news
in the lands of the Pharaohs.
Did Moses know how CALLING was the
condition of his SSllow Israelites under
the new laws and repressive policy Of
the Warlike Pharoah, who had for rea-
sons OF state policy reduced the He
breWs to condition of slavery? All
this he would be likely to know and
feel most keen1y. News in those DAVIS
as in these, Travelled rapidly, and the
desert knew quickly what had trans
pired in the city.
Years could not have dulled Moses
interest in his people. Age and reflec-
ton could but have deepened his con-
Vlctlon of the early years that a high
destiny was appointed the descendants
or Jacob. The tribal traditions and
patrlarchal customs and religious con-
vlct1ons were particularly cherished in
his FAMILY. The wilderness exile served
to intensity and deepen his longings
for the development of his people.
Moses was eighty years old, but he
was active and earnest, and so Je-

A UNION OF CHRISTIAN FORCES

The Baptist. Young Peoples union
topic for Sept. g is found in John xvii,
2023; l. Corinthians l., 1913. If all the
! saints Of all ages could be gathered
together, what a harmonious gathering
1t would be! Luther and Peter would
have no dispute. The gospel always
has been one, and always will be-.
There are minor differences of opin-
! ion which separate the different de-
nominations. But in the essentials all
the churches agree. A sanity man or
woman, trained in any church of them
all, resembles other holy, humble, low
ing Christians so nearly that the de-
nominational label is hardly noticed.
1t is a good sign that the various
churches have drawn together of late
years. 1t is a sign of progress and of
brotherhood The church above is one.
and the nearer we get to that condition
or harmony here, the more heavenly
our relations will be.
If the impulse, of the brotherhood
did not draw, the churches together
today, the fearol-of certain common
dangers might we'll do so.
A wave of indifference or hostility
seems to have carried the working
classes away from the church. They
must be won back, not by any one
church by ALL Christian agencies.
The word of God Is the target for
continued attack The whole BODY of
Christians must study and reverence If
and guard it's truths, or all Christen-
dom will suffer
Sabbath breaking Is on the increase
IN our country We all should stand
shoulder to shoulder against it.

DEATH OF SAUL AND JONATHAN

The International Sunday school les
son for Sept. is found in l. Samuel,
XXI, lib. The golden text is Prov
cribs, xiv, II. The reign of Saul be-
gan well, but ended disastrously. After
David had spared Saurs life, as de-
scribed in our last lesson, and had
thereby regained his favor, we should
have expected that the hunted man
would have returned to his home. But
David knew Saul too well. He dared
not trust him. In despair he gave up
the hope of living in peace in his ma
tive land and went to live among the
Philistines until Saul should die. 1t
seems very unpatriotic course, but
he was probably forced to it.
All went well until the Philistines
waged war upon Israel Then Achish
required Davids help, and he would
have been forced to fight on the side
of his country's enemies had not the
Philistine leaders feared his treachery
and sent him away before the battle.
Returning to Ziklag, he found his city
in ruins and the women and children
captured by the Amalekites, whom he
pursued and conquered, returning lad
en- with spoil.
Weakened by constant assertions
from his army, Saul is In no condition
to meet the strong Philistine host that
invades the land from the northwest.
He is panic-stricken at their approach.
In desperation he consults "the witch
of En-dor" to divine the probable re-
suit of the coming conflict, and If pos
sible obtain a message from the dead
Samuel. The narrative Is one of the
strangest in the Bible. DR.. Aglen, one
of the best interpreters Of the Old Test
ament, says: ut is hopeless to try to
understand this incident. Magic is at
home in the East, and ventriloquism,
which the language implies to have
been the practice of this woman, may
have had its part. All that we know
Is. Saul thought he saw and heard
Samuel, and the figure he saw and
heard told him the worst"
Therefore Saul went into battle that
day expecting defeat. The men of
Israel fed. The battle was probably
fought in the plain of Jezreel the
Israelites being forced back on their
camp on the slope of Mt. Gilboa. Max
ing their final stand here, like wild
beasts at bay, they were slain in great
numbers. The battle went sore against
Saul. A pitiable seene-SauIs three
valiant sons slain defending him; him

rather than fall into the hands of his
heather foes. and finally committing

ALLIED FORCES.

The Christian Endeavor topic for
Sept is found in John, xviii, 1923:
1. Corinthians, L., 1913. The unity of
the Christian church, for all practical
purposes at least, such as the extension
of Christ's kingdom and the over
throw of evil, is indeed "a consumma-
ton devoutly to be wished" Organic
unity, as men are so differently consti-
tuted, is dream impossible of realiza-
ton, but unity in spirit, in sympathy
and in service for Christ and against
evil is possibility. and should speed
lily become reality.
In spite of many differences the
Christian church is essentially one
church. The tendency in the past has
been to emphasize the differences and
to minimize the things upon which all
agree, and the time has come to re-
verse the order. The church should
emphasize to the world that 1t is es-
sentially one church.
1. 1t believes in one God as mani
tested in Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
q. 1t has one faith-not one creed,
though all denominations could accept
the Apostles Creed, but one faith
Christian faith, as distinctive from 9TH
er religious faiths.
8. 1t has essentially the same ordi-
nances-baptism and the Lords sup
per. The forms of administration are
not always the same, but the ordi-
nances are
4. 1t has the same forms of worship.
These&;areJ praise, prayer. Scripture
reading and preaching. Whether rem
dered in elaborate settings or in the
simplest the forms are essentially the
same. Our hynnology beautifully IL
lustrates Christian essential oneness.

And there's little to earn. and many to
keep,
Though the harbor bar be moaning.
Three. wives sat up in the lighthouse
And they trimmed the lamps as the sun
went down;
They looked al the squalI and they look
ed at the shower
And the niSht-rack came rolling up
ragged and brown;
But men must work. and women must
weep.
Though storms be sudden. and waters
deep.
And the harbor bar be moaning.
Three corpses lay out on the shining
sands
In the morning CLEAN as the tide went
down,
And the women are weeping and wiring
their hands
For those who will never come home
to the town;
For men must work. and women must
weep.
And the sooner it's over the sooner to
sleep.
And goodbye to the bar and its moan
