"Save the Hogs"

The following was taken from the
exchange column of the Stewart
(Minp) Tribune. The irony Of it
strikes a responsive chord in our
heart, and leads us to say: why
we'll, at any rate, save the hogs" I'VE
read an item the other day in which
it is said that pork breeders are
raising big disturbance because the
refuse of the breweries pollutes the
water the hogs drink with alcoholic
poison We do not censure the pork
breeders. Hogs are valuable; and
laws ought to be passed and enforced
protecting the hogs. If men must
make beer, and If other men insist on
the privilege of selling it, why-well,
at any rate save the hogs"

THE STORY

HE > ORXN
HERE lay the people amidst the
heaps of quail, where they had
fallen from mere exhaustion after two
days and night spent in killing and
raculously flown in upon the camp.
Moses turned away from the sight,
disgust and sorrow struggling for the
mastery. Could this be Gods people?
Were they the children of Abraham,
journeying towards land of promise?
or were they beasts of the field with
never thought that went higher than
their stomachs and the food with
which to Jill them?
Three days before the murmuring
in the camp had reached it's climax.
A large part of the people had spoken
bitterly of the mama which God had
so faithfully provided for their needs
every morning. saying that they could
not eat it longer, and refusing to go
out and gather the portion for that
day. And God had heard the COM
planning and had driven in upon the
camp great multitudes of quail, so
that the people forgot all else in their
mad haste to gather, gather, gather,
lest, as they said, they should not
have enough; not stopping to think
that the God who sent the birds upon
them could keep them supplied. But
no, all else was forgotten in their
gluttonous eagerness All that first
day and that night and the next day
following, with scarcely rest, the
men stood up and gathered the quail
in great heaps, while the women and
the children worked with equal zeal
in dressing and sailing down the birds
after the manner of preparing fish in
Egypt. And at last when almost
the last bird had been captured and
darkness had again settled down upon
the camp, the people utterly exhaust
ed with their efforts had thrown them
selves upon the ground where they
had been working and fell into that
heavy slumber which comes from ut
ter exhaustion.
And there Moses had found them
early on the morning OF the third Qay
as he went forth with the few others
to gather the daily portion of mamma,
for not all among the children of Is
rael had so utterly abandoned them.
selves to the lust for flesh that they
had forgotten Gods claim upon them.
Silently the people gathered their
portions of mamma, for they noted the
grief-stricken countenance of their
leader, and no man burst ask him
why, for they knew instinctively that
1t was the bestial conduct of the
slumbering Israelites, that troubled
him.
Joshua had stood at his side when
he had tried to arouse one of the fell
lows without success. The only re-
Spouse he could get was for the fel-
low to sweep his arms about as

This experience Of the Ct

This experience OF the chill
dren of Israel in the wilder
ness prefigures the experience
which often comes to the Chris
tan. At Gods call he has de-
parted from Egypt, even as is
rael left Egypt, but somewhere
on the journey the merory>of
the induIgences Of the past, the
aiiurements of the world, draw
the soul away from God and It
falls to Iusting for the ole. life
and the old induIgences. But
as Paul says in Cor. 1876, in re-
ferring to the incident: "Now
these things were our example
to the intent we should not lust
: after. evil things, as they (the
children Of IsraeD also Iusted."
The Christian must also rec
ognize the fact that that which
the flesh desires is often .un-
wholesome for the soul. "For
the flesh, Iusteth against the
Spirit and the Spirit against the
flesh: and these are contrary
the one to the other: so that
we cannot do the things that ye
would."-GaI. SLY.
But how often does the
Christian fall into the snare of
the devil, how often does he per-
nit the love of the world and
the things Of the. world to draw
him away from Goo. He falls
to Iusting for the fIeshpots of
Egypt, and turns from Gods
mama, so graciousIy provided.
And then perhaps the heart is
SO set upon it's way of evil that
at last God gives the soul up
to its passions and lust, even
as when "lsrael lusted exceed
ineIy in the wilderness and
tempted God in the desert, he
gave them their request; but
sent Ieanness into their souls"
Sad indeed is the condition
of that soul which barters
Gods mamma for the flesh pots
of, the worie.
There is many a lean soul
smothered out of sight under
full stomach.
He who feeds the lust of the
flesh starves the soul.
The only way some souls will
learn the folly Of sin is by
reaping it's dire consequences.
UnbridIed indulgence of an
appetite will result disastrousIy.
Hunger was not the incen-
tive to murmuring and discon-
tent, for Israel had Gods
mama, given fresh every day.
but it was the result of yield
ing to the fleshIy desires. And
it is so with the Christian, for
love of the world and the things
of the world Goes not come be-
cause God cannot satisfy, but
because the Christian will not
sit at Gods table and satisfy
his soul with the good things
he has provided. 20 taste and
see that the Lord is good"
God knows best the needs of
man, and his mamma, like his
mercies, are fresh every day.
