Memory is a pack-horse able to
carry safely whatever is entrusted to
him, If 1t be properly fastened and
adjusted. If the latter precautions
are neglected he is liable TO drop bits
of his load along the highway, and
the strong probability is that they
will not be worth picking up
Memory is servant, sometimes
well trained and responsible, some
times lazy and inefficient Memory
is a useful friend or a treacherous
foe. Memory is a mechanical device,
convenient so lCrg as it is in smooth
working order, and exasperating when

ment. To drop smile, memory is

In the human mind. growth and devel-

which they perform their school du-

and young people memorize would

they continued the habit of study.
In many people memory becomes
atrophied just as would an arm

for months at time. They give
memory nothing to do and it loses

To retain a vigorous memory it is

SPYING OUT
THE LAND
FIfTEENTH-h Cloud and Pillar Series
A STORY OF The WILDERNESS JOURNEY
or THE HEBREW PEOPLE
By the Highway and Bywsy" Preacher
SERMON ETTE.

While the Scripture narrative
indicates that the project Of
sending the spies had the Di-
vine sanction, even to instruc-
tons being given as to the meth
DDS to be pursued, still we must
remember that the land was
lsraels by right of inheritance
and was the place whittier God
was leading them, and hence
there could be no question as to
its fruitfulness, or as to the GER
tainty of its occupancy by Israel.
These facts suggest then that it
was lack Of faith rather than
dlvinely inspired wisdom that
prompted this course of action,
and remind US of that infinite
patience which God manifests
in dealing with His children.
God permitted the spying out of
the land because faith was not
large enough to go up at once
and possess it, and that first
misstep opened the way for
those other sins Of unbeilef
which shut them out of the
promised land and dotted the
wilderness with numberless
graves.
So to-day, God leads the soul
to the borderIand of some great
opportunity, some rich posses
sion, and instead Of confidently
going forward the soul sends
out its spies to search the land,
the giants of difficulties and dam
gers are seen, the walled cities
of seemingly insurmountable OBJ
stacles are discovered, and the
soul draws back in dismay and
cries: We are not able to go up
and possess it. An, soul, thou
who art face to face with the
promised land of better things
each day, look up and see the
Lord standing at thy side ready
to go with thee, put thy trust in
Him, and go forward for He that
is for thee is greater than they
which be against thee. Re-
member that if God be for thee,
who can be against thee. Let
not thy unbeIief shut thee out
OF the promised land of Gods
blessing.
The pathway of unbelief leads
back into the wilderness, away
from the promised land.
Faith is the Christians reduc-
ing glass through which dangers
and difficulties appear small and
insignificant.
An evil report is the express
sion of an unbeIieving heart.
Spying out the land to which
God has promised to lead you,
and give you, may be wise pre-
caution, but il needs to be bal
anced by faith that falters not
and a courage which knows no
fear.
II took Israel 20 years to re-
cover the opportunity of enter
ing the promised land which
they lost in 40 days. SO is often
to-day the experience of the
Christian. He forfeits years of
blessing through failure to 90
forward in faith to the place
God has pointed out.
Those 40 days might better
have been spent in going for
ward than in holding back and
looking for giants and walled
cities. The soul that fingers on
the horderland Of a known duty
or destiny will surely find the
voice Of unbeIief speaking loud
er and urqinu a retreat,
