"As ! was with Moses, so
will be with thee" What an
inspiration for Joshua at the
beginning of his active leader
ership of Gods people. This
was Gods message to his heart.
In his new capacity he MAS
comparatively untried, and the
way before him was unknown.
To what did God direct his
thoughts? To the record OF
Gods faithfuIness in his deal
ings with his servant Moses,
and swiftly as there passes be-
fore the minds eye OF Joshua
the long and glorious history
of Moses walk with God and
his victories through him,
God adds this encouragement:
$50 | will be with thee"
There is always inspiration
in studying the lives of men
and women who have walked
close to God and wrought
nightly for him. Take the
life of Paul, as told in the
Scriptures, and we learn what
the power and love and grace
of God can do in and through
enc man. Take from modern
times the story of Moody's
ministry, and we find what God
can accomplish through the
conservation of a man of or
binary talents, but of extraor-
binary faith and obedience to
the divine will.
Over every such life we see
the writing OF God: "As was
with them" That was the
secret of their power and sue
cess. God was with them, that
is, the life was so brought into
harmony with God and Gods
will that he could use it. Can
we grasp the immensely Of the
thought of Gods union with a
human life so that he Ear say
of it: al was with him?" AS we
read the record of a Moody we
marvel at his power and sue
cess, but the explanation is
that "God was with him."
And now what is the message
to your heart and mine? Let
us sit before God and contem-
plate what he has wrought
through others, and then let US
listen carefully that we may
catch his words as he speaks
and says: $50 | will be with
thee" Here is all the promise
that any soul needs. 1t involves
and includes everything. 1t
means vital union with God. 1t
means Gods power and love and
grace flowing through my life
and your life to the blessing and
transforming of the world
about US. "As | was with Moses,
so ! will be with thee" is a mes
sage which may come to every
heart. God help is to get near
to God, so as to hear his voice.
The little word "then" in the
tenth verse is worthy of empha-
sis, for it forms the important
link between the preparation for
an important work and the be-
ginning of that work. When
God had spoken his message to
Joshua, "then," and not till then,
did he take up the command of
the people and direct the prep
aration for the forward move
ment to the Promised Land.
The qualification of the utmost
Importance in a leader is that
of preparation to discharge the
duties that will devoIve upon
him. For these 80 days of
mourning and Immediately fol-
lowing, Joshua understood that
it was by his hand that the chill
dren of Israel were to be led
out, and yet we find no over
confidence, no haste to assume
command, but a quiet waiting
for the enduement of power
from on high, for divine wisdom
and direction in taking the first
step. If those whom God has
chosen, to lead his people would
realize this, there would be few
err missteps ard greater prog
ress made.

GREAT MEDICAL VICTORY.

Medical science has long been In

Scotland, comes the cheering news
that Or John Beard lecturer In the
university OF that city on comparative
experiments having for their purpose
the discovery of a destroyer of the
cancer germ The theory of Dr.
Beard is that cancer is the product
of self-instituted germ, whose eff
forts are TO create a new individual
and destroy the old one--that Il is
not the result OF an infection, but
that its parent cell or cells have ex-
listed in innocence in the body which
they ultimately destroy. His tests

satisfactory that leading doctors
throughout the country have adopted
his theory and his remedy. The lat
ter Is trypsia, which the Century die
tionary defines to be the ferment
which Is the active principle of the
pancreatic fluid: pancreatin. The
conclusions reached by DR. Beard are
endorsed by such high authority as
the British Medical Journal, and 1t
is confidently believed that his dis
coveries will take away all the ter
rors of cancer and make it as amen
able to treatment as an ordinary case
of chills and fever.
With an even, steady step medical
science moves on, hoping all things.
Its achievements are all for the bet
terment of the condition of mankind.
Its heroes are those who make the
most sacrifices for humanity. When
one contemplates the rush and flow
of human energy conseCrated to
money getting and money ruling, the
medical world stands out in bold re-
lief as an isolated symbol of the tri-
umph of the nobler instincts of the
soul over the sordid and vulgar as

reach their destination They slip
off the trains at intermediate points
where they think they can get work

was plentiful, but now that work cal
be obtained in the fields the negroe
are deserving 1t is doubtful II NOR
