CHILDHOOD AND EDUCATION OF
MOSES.
Some one has iikened the eleventh
chapter Of Hebrews to tall obelisk
craven with the names of the Heroes
Of Faith The Egyptian column,
brought at such expense from the
banks of the Nile. and set up in Central
Park--not one in million can read
its hieroglyphics, and 1t is fast crum-
bling away; but this obelisk is imper-
fshable; 1t Is Ineligible to even a
child.
In all this shining catalogue the most
brilliant name is that of Moses, The
faith of Moses was preceded by the
faith of HIS pious parents. 1t Is writ
ten. BY faith Moses. when he was
born, was hid three months of his pa
rents because they saw he was a proper
child, and they were not afraid of the
kings commandment" 1t was some
thing more than mere natural affection
which iinpeiled them to this act. 1t
was borne In upon their minds that this
child of uncommon physical beauty
and precocity was to break the calling
yoke Of bondage. and lead Gods people
from the brick kilns of Egypt to the
highlands of Canaan. They believed

filled. Loving and fearing the King
of heaven, they despised and feared mol
the king of Egypt. Though his cruel
soldiers. with drawn and glittering
swords, patrolled the streets, and
though instant death was the penalty
OF disobeying the kings command
ment they were not afraid.
For three months they successfully
hid the babe in the deepest and dark
est recess of theii lowly hut. But
further secrecy was impossible The
child's cries were too lusty. Suspicion
was already aroused. The envious gos-
sips were at work. We may see those
parents toiling at night-weaving a
basket out of the long ribbons of the
papyrus. making a tiny mattress. and
tucking the beautiful babe into his
strange cradle, which was to be rocked
by rivers wave instead of mothers
hand. The parents used their best
judgment at the same time they exer-
cised their faith. The papyrus is said
to be offensive to the crocodile Hence.
the child was comparatively secure
from that great danger. He was put
afioat upon a river which the Egyptians
worshiped, and. found there. would be
esteemed sacred as the gift of the river
god. He was placed where Pharaoh's
daughter was accustomed to battle,
with the hope that he might fall into
her hands, and the little tactful sister
was stationed to watch, and use the
strategy of calling a Hebrew nurse IL
opportunity afforded. Having done all
they could, they waited in confident
faith for God to bring 1t all to pass.
And they were not disappointed. See
the Divine P-ovidence--God in history!

MAYOR BOYD
FOR RIVER FRONT
New Castles Executive Hopes
to See Wilmington Grow

Mayor Evan G Boyd, OF New Castle,
has written an encouraging lettet 20
the Board Of Trade in connection with
the river front project Mayor Boyd
has been closely allied with the board
in its Wilmington Improvement pro-
paganda and his letter to the board
is only a late instance of his interest
in Wilmington as the metropolis of
Delaware. Mayor Boyd writes: Con
nection with Penns Grove by ferry and
cheap rates to Atlantic City would
be greatly appreciated by the people
of this vicinity. We hope to see Will
mington grow to the river with docks,
wharves, grain elevators, etc, and will
gladly do anything in our power 20 fur
ther the matter In your interests"
Assistant Secretary George McGov-
ern OF the Board of Trade is particu-
larly interested at the present time in
an undertaking by the Italian govern
ment to improve the ferry service be-
tween Sicily and Italy. Many of the
problems that confront the Italian gov
ernment I'm its undertaking are SINH
lar to the obstacles that face the city
here.
1t is not improbable that the Board
of Trade will shortly bring before the
automobile associations in the vicinity
the advlsability of placing signs along
the roads near the city as a guide to
motorists. Only recently a represen-
tative of an automobile concern in
quired at the Board of Trade why such
provision was not made by Whining
ton motorists.
