THE STORY.

For days now the march had LEI
steadily into the mountain Businesses
the Cloud leading on through windine
valley and under high cliff, and oyel
rugged pass, until even Moses, the
leader, began to wonder whittier the
journey was trending and why God
was shutting them in from the rest OF
the world. Once or twice he thought
he recognized places along the route
as ones which he had passed with
Aaron more than a year before on
their return from INDIAN, but the
thought Of gaining the Promised Land
was so uppermost In his mind that he
had persuaded himself that it could
not be. He spoke to Aaron about the
matter once, pointing out a rock that
looked very like m under the shadow
of which they had rested one night
but the latter had considered It so i'm
probable that he finally dismissed the
thought from his mind.
So the journey had continued until
at last one day they suddenly came
into a valley which instantly Moses
recognized as the one leading to the
Mount of God where he had stood he
fore the burning bush and God had
spoken to him out of the midst there
OF. On either side there rose the lofty
rocks forming a natural isle like the
approaches to the temples Of Egvpt
which We're lined with the colossal
figures of men and gods. And at the
end OF this broad avenue, rising i'm
m~edlately out of the level plain over
which they were marching, lowered
the massive cliffs of Sinai, like the
huge altar Of some natural temple.
The place was one to inspire reyer-
ence, and thoughts of worship, and
Moses and Aaron were not alone in
these feelings, for as the multitude
halted at the sound Of the trunpetg
and began to pitch their tents, thew
together in low tones about God
brought them to his temple.
And when Moses departed I'D the
mountain it was whispered through the
camp that be had gone up to talk with
God. The events at Rephidim had
done much to arous their con.
seriousness Of God and during those
days at the foot Of Mount Sinai
there was a subdued, reyerent spirit
pervading the camp, and when Moses
again came into their midst he found
a people watchful for his return and
ready to listen to the message he
might bring them.
And Moses called the elders Of Israel
md when they had assembled the peo-
We in a great concourse on the Stop
ng sides Of the hill, he repeated the
Vords of the Lord in the ears of the
lders and they in turn spoke them to
he people. {
This is the message Of God to Is
ael," he cried, when a great hush had 2
allen upon the assembly, for he has d
commanded me in the mountain to say /
, the house Of Jacob, and to tell the 3
hlldren Of Israel: 'Ye have seer q
nat did unto the Egyptians, and 8
