Rome as did Cardinal John Henry New man? If he did this he would by that act surrender all his rights to the British thronethrone. If he concluded to join that church in spite of that penalty, you would say that man mast be sincere. No man lightly renounces a throne. And yet this is just what Moses did. He was the son of Pharoah's daughter. He had, in the sight of the law, the right of succession. as if he really had royal blood in his veins. The Egyptian throne was his if he simply kept still and said nothing. Ans yet here was a prince, here was a young man born great-one to whom every sell fish purpose of the heart said: Be still: do not ruin your chances of an earthly throne" declaring, Nay l will worship the true God and will be faithful to my enslaved people" man who could come to such a decision. who actually re- nounced throne that he might obey the dictates of his conscience, was a man whose words are entitled to weight. If a man would not listen to him, would not be convinced by him, he would not be convinced by any one-not even by spirit
 Prince In Intellect
 But Moses was not only man of high station; ne was a prince in intellect as well as a royal prince. He had one of
 
 produced. But more than that. he had one of the greatest opportunities for de- veloping that intellect. The best Egyp- tian teachers were his. The greatest knowledge of the then known world was concentrated in Egypt. And Moses was educated in the most famous schools of that land. Who can fully estimate tho knowledge of those ancient Egyptians? Some time ago I was one of the most 1ra ofi fia f1fa nt1hliShpd In q newspaper. It's title was '"rhe Body of an Ancient Pharaoh Under the Electric Light" There in his sarcophagus lay the mummp of Amenophis IT., who relgned in Egypt in 1566 B. C., about fifty years before Moses was born. The face of the ancient ruler was just as perfect as on the day when the embalmer laid him away for his last sleep. Right over his forehead in the picture was a modern electric light, shining full upon the face of the ancient king There in the back ground of the picture was band of tourists Joking down upon the quiet sleeper As I looked at that picture that electric light seemed to be saying to the old king, Awake, Amenophis' Wake up! Look about and see how much the twen- tieth century has accomplished" Then in imagination I saw the old mummy open his eyes and look around. He seemed out of place as did old Rip Van Wrinkle when he came down from the mountains after his long sleep. Then in imagination I saw one of the tourists as a guide take the hand of the old king and lead him about Cairo. He pointed to this wonder and that wonder Of the twentieth century. Then l fancy l heard the aged ruler say, ''Yes, you have mar vellous wonders here, but l want to tell you that my people were race of giants Where is old Egypt Where Is old Egypt of which these pyramids and mon uments are mere remnants of her former grandeur? Why, old Egypt has forgoten almost as much as the twentieth century has ever developed. Egypt was store house of arts which today as lost for ever" Was it only a dream? Was not the Egypt of ancient Amenophis the home of erudition and knowledge?
 If the ancient Egyptians were not eru- dlte. how can you account for the great pyramid of Cheops, which was without any doubt built as an astronomical ob- servatory? So great are the massive stones of this pyramid that to this day scientists are unable to understand now they were lifted into place. How can you account for the vast canal and irriga-
