Tea on the Down Grade.

Tea drinkers are finding scant en-
couragemeht in a report recently
made by a large tea exporting house
in Yokohama to its American Gus
toners. Incidentally it indicates that
the United States is not alone in fac
ing increased cost Of living. The re-
port says: Owing to the rapidly in
creasing cost of living in Japan labor
costs more, and in consequence cul-
tivation of the tea gardens is less
generous and extensive than formerly,
and less care and skill are expended
in picking and curing the leaf. Hence
the average quality of the teas now
offered for sale is below that of sea-
sons prior to the war, and for the
same reasons we are not likely in the
future to see any %reversion to the
excellence of former years."-New

THE.sToRY.
THE day on which the children O.
Israel crossed Jordan was a day
of terror in Jericho. The spies which
the king had sent out to watch the
movements Of the Israelites had re-
turned in haste telling strange sto-
ries of how the waters of the jordan
had divided and the people and all
their fiocks and herds had crossed
over on the dry bed of the river, and
were even now on their way to attack
the city.
In their excitement and alarm he
10000 fighting men which had crossed
the river in advance had been magni-
fed into a great army, and quickly
the orders were given that the city
CITIES be closed tight and a double
guard be placed upon the wall. All
the fighting men of the city were
speedily summoned and slept upon
their arms that night, expecting that
an assault might be made upon the
walls under cover of darkness.
That was q terrible night in Jeri-
cho. People ran through the streets
like mad, cursing and fighting with
each other in their wild terror, and
alternately shouting maledictions
upon the Israelites and their God, and
calling upon their gods to hear them
and help them.
Rahab and her kinsfolk gathered
with her in her little house upon
the wall listened to the tumult with
out and wondered if i-eady the Is
raelites had taken the city. But no,
it could not be, for that evening as
the sun had set and Raheb had gone
to the window to see that the scarlet
cord, the pledge Of her d~eliverance,
was still in it's place at the side OF
the easement, she had looked out
across the plain and had seen the
Israelites peacefully encamped.
But they will come tomorrow"
she thought, and as the tumult with
out increased, she turned to reassure
her relatives gathered about her,
when a loud pounding upon her outer
door was heard. Tremblingly she
went to the door, and without draw
ing the bar shouted to know who
was there and what was wanted.
"The ~Israelites be upon us, Rahab,"
shouted a gruff voice, which she recog-
nized as that of the captain over the
guard which kept the wall, and who
had been a frequent visitor to her
house in times past. Flee into the

and children are being gathered, for

ERMONETTE

"And the Lord said unto
Joshua, See, | have given into
thine hand Jericho, and the king :
thereof, and the mighty men OF
valor."
God gives men visions OF
great victories that r possible
of realization because his ON
impotence is behind them.
Men dream of conquest. Men
plan large things apart from
God. But the dream Fever be-
comes anything but a dream and
the plans "gang aft a-gIee."
What disappointments life
holds for those who plan and
work and strive apart from God.
Solomon, the man of rare
gifts, and wonderful achieve
ments, turns at last from the
sphere of human endeavor,
which is temporal, and cries: ~
know that whatsoever God doeth,
it shall be forever"
Joshua early in his career as
leader of the children of Israel
caught this vision of the sure
working of God, and to him God
gave the assurance of victory
along the lines of his will.
There was Jericho great and
strong, her massive walls SEEM
ingIy impregnabte; there was
her king, proud and defiant;
there were the mighty men of
valor ready to die in defense of
the city.
This was what Joshua saw
perhaps before he sought out
the Lord and obtained a vision
from the Divine viewpoint.
But after that it was 10 long,
err the strong walled city and
the powerful king and the mighty
men of valor which he saw, but
rather that city low in the dust,
that king and his army within
his power.
Such was the vision; such was
the promise of God. But as
Joshua went out the next day
the city was still there, the king
was still on his throne, the
miohty men of vaIor still watch
ing on the wall.
There was much to do to
make the vision a reality; to
claim the promise of God. But
the vision and the promise were
the goal ahead towards which
unhesitatingIy and u%nyieldins'y
Joshua strove. He knew he
should attain, because God had
WiIIed it.
Look up, o Christian! Catch
the heaven-born vision! Hear
the God-given promise of vic
tory.
There is many a Jericho in
thy life thae must DC
before you a enter into the
full possession of the land God
has purposed to give you.
Yes, the walls are strong and
high; the king is on his throne
within, and his mighty men OF
vaIor guard to repel the assault,
but remember: God wills that
it shall be taken. "See," he says,
9" have given it into thine hand"
And then he expects US to go
braveIy forward and under his
leadership take the city.
Shame, upon shame, is it not,
that we should fall SO far short
of the Divine purpose and will
for US? Let it not be SO longer.

NAtAA SAAS
they had been plunged by the strange,
unwarlike conduct of their enemies,
the Israelites.
'How long is this to continue?'
asked the king, as messengers came
to him saying that the 1sraelites were
again marching about the city. Since
early morning they have been COM
passing the city, they said, "and al
ready now they have marched about
the city five times"
The king summoned the captains
of his army and commanded that the
soldiers be gathered under the walls
of the city and prepare to go out
against the enemy which evidently
was not going to make an assault
upon the city.
Thus it was that as the Israelites
completed the circle of the city for
the seventh time that morning they
saw the walls of the city black with
the armed men of the city prepared
as though to rush upon them. Then
1t was that the trumpets burst forth
in their mighty blast and Joshua
shouted and all the people shouted,
and behold by the mighty hand Of
their God the walls of Jericho came
crashing down and few of the kings
army escaped. And Israel went up
into the city every man straight be-
fore him and took the city, and the
young men that were spies went In
and brought out Rahab and her father
and her mother and her brethren and
all that she had. And they burnt
the city with fire and all that was
therein. So the Lord was with
Joshua; and his fame was noised
Throughout all the country.
