SERMONETTE.

FaithfuIness to a Promise
There is no more striking illus
tration in the Bible, we think,
of the faithful fulfillment of
pledge given than this incident
OF Joshua going up to the aid of
Gideon. Here was i people
doubly despised in the eyes Of
Joshua and the people of Israel,
first, because they were heath
en- people, and second, because
they had tricked Israel into
distastefuI alliance. And yet,
when the cry for help came
Joshua and the people with him
hesitated not but made haste to
go up TO the defense of the Glib
eonites. Under a strict inter
probation of the agreement
made, Joshua was under no OBJ
legations to fight Gibeon's bat
ties, and what more natural
feeling for Joshua and the peo-
pie OF Israel who but a short
time before had wanted to de-
stroy the Gibeonites notwith-
standing the oath of Joshua and
the princes of Israel, than for
them to welcome the peril which
threatened Gideon as an easy
and fortunate escape from a
most distasteful alliance. But
no. The spirit of the agreement
was that Gideon should dwell
with them in the land; she had
identified herself with Israel,
and had acknowledged the SUI
premacy Of the true God; there
fore Israel would fight for her.
Because of the promise Joshua
and his men would face peril
and hardship. Gibcon's plea for
help should not go unheeded.
What a noble devotion to lofty
ideals.
To-day there is not the same
fine conceptions, the same faith
fulness in the fulfillment of a
promise. The modern Joshua
looks for technicalities, the ieqal
IoophoIe which will let him slip
free from the fulfilIment of an
obligation. He keeps the agree
fnent that ne cannot escape, but
as for doing more, not he. II
the Gideon who is in trouble
can show undisputed claim upon
his time and resources, then he
Will go up to his help, but if
there is convenient escape from
the promise given, then he will
let Gideon shift for himself.
But Joshua of old had the di.
vine conception of the impor-
lance and invioIabiIity of an
oath, and he did all and more
than that oath demanded. And
God honored such spirit of self
sacrificing devotion by qivinu
Joshua power over the forces of
nature, and frightening the day
) that the task undertaken
'i9ht be fully done.

Society and Education.

In order to express tho Significance
Gress. which was held in Boston, the
broadest possible definitions OF so
Cial' and education" are necessary.
Heretofore educational problems have
been left largely to teachers and ex.
perts in pedagogy. This congress was
not teachers meeting, but a confer.
ence Of leaders in all departments Of
life. The variety of the subjects dis
cussed and tho many interests repre-
scented by the speakers showed that
real education touches life at every
point, says the Youths Companion;
that, as wise men have always felt,
education Is the development in all
possible ways OF the individual and OF
the unit in society. The business man
explained what be demanded Of the
schools that are sending him young
clerks and workmep. The man OF pub
lie affairs showed what the sChools
should do for the boy and the girl
who are TO vote. From the laboring
udu. LuIOusu UNION leaucT, came
the message Of the experienced work

.ng boy who is soon to choose a trade.
Physicians and specialists In physical
culture pleaded for the care OF the
body, for education which should
teach respect for the finely organized
instrument Of thought and labor.
From the churches preachers of many
denominations spoke tho word for
spiritual culture in all education OF
the hands and the brain. Public II.
brarians traced the relation OF thei.
institution to the schools. Banker,
president Of public service company,
manufacturer, tradesmaD, professor,

asserted the great truth that educa-
