power by which he creates rev knowl-
edge. Study him any way you VIII
and YOU cannot but be amazed Study
him with reference to his hygienic
laws. We have gone on In our inves-
tigations in dietary developments. We
have our vegetarian theories and our
"tvo meals day" theories and our
hot water theories and all that. Yet
TODAY II is admitted by hygienic au-
thorities that no dietary system has
vet been devised which can give more
assurance of longer or healthier Ire
than that system which Moses promul-
gated In his hyglenic laws for the He
brew people nearly 1000 years ago.
Study his land laws. under which the
people every seven years received
back the titles to their old homesteads.
DO YOU not believe that Moses way
was better than our way, where rev
men can gobble up all our coal lands
and copper lands and timber lands
and farm lands and then say to the
rest of the people, "Now starve, for
we are to be the land kings forever"
Take the protection which he gave 10
the people in the right of trial by es-
toblIshing the ten cities OF refuge.
Take all those marvellous precautions
for protecting human life which he
made. including even the building OF
battlements or balustrades about the
roof of the house so that guest
might not fall off and Kill himser.
And then. most wonderful Of all In
those times Of theft and debauchery
and licentiousness, study those mar
velous Ten Commandments which he
gave TO the people from Mount Sinai
NV friend. If the Lord God Almighty
aid not write those Ten Command
ments for Moses, then Moses himself
was the greatest Of the worlds legis-
lators.
Moses as Miracle Worker.
Rut Moses was more than a creator
OF laws. He was a direct miracle
worker as well. He was such work.
or OF miracles that II we do not ac-
cent those miracles as emanating from
him then we should be compelled 10
regard him as a fabulous character.
Rut he was a miracle worker as Christ
was miracle worker "Oh," l hear
some man say, 81 believe in Jesus
but not in his miracles" Why, my
friends, you cannot believe in Jesus
unless YOU believe in his miracles, for
Christ continually appealed to his
miracles as the credentials OF DIS
teaching. And so Moses, through the
power of God which was given 10
him. founded his life work upon
miracles.
Now. study Moses for little while
down In Egypt. Here are the Egyp-
tians the greatest, the most warllKe
people upon the face Of the earth al
that period. What tie Grecian con
ouerors were in the Alexandrian era
and the Roman cOnquerors In the
times of Julius and Augustus Caesar
Egypt was in the time of Moses
Pharaoh had the mightiest warriors
the greatest number Of chariots and
body of cavalry of which the world
has not produced "a superior. This
Kingdom had. its. great river -borderec
!. with splendid cities. and the fines
wheat lands of the world. Now, II
contrast to these great warriors anC
intellectual giants, there was col
lection of Hebrews. These Hebrews
were slaves, deprived of all books
They could not learn the science o.
arms. They were brutally abused
They were killed off every year by tn
hardest kind of manual labor. AS
people they were more cowed an'
downtrodden than the black slay'
/ ever was. Now, who liberated thes
! men? Who was the Spartacus wh'
, rallied the Hebrew people about him
/. There was no Spartacus, because ther
3 were no Hebrew slaves who In III
e slightest respect knew the science o
e | war. These Hebrew slaves were III
: erated-that IS true-but how? BY on
i man walking into the kings palac
1 and defying the king with one littl
e wand. But behind that wand was IN
s omnipotent God. That one man, b
n the power Of that one stick, made III

q DENY that was ever done. Then, M
O friend. as student of history 20
