The justice of this displacement of the Canaanites by the Israelites is warmly and skillfully challenged. One passage of sacred record, however, is like the. flash of a searchiight on this naturally dark problem. One cause of the long postponement of IsraePs en- trance to Canaan was affirmed to be the fact that the iniduity of the na- tive tribes was not yet full. (Gen. xv, I3-1g.) For four centuries the sword of retributive justice was uplifted, but the hand was stayed to leave space for repentance and reformation.

 The reflex and harmful influence up- up Israel of thus acting as the Lords executioners of heather tribes Is de- precated, Would they not be brutal ized thereby? Under ordinary circum- stances, yes.

 There was a, seven-day delay--a cru cial test of IsraePs faith, and a means of It's cultivation also. He that be- Iieyeth shall not make haste" In that they did not precipitately assault the city, they showed their faith. It was faith that brought the walls of Jericho down. (Heb. xii, 30l. This was a better generation than that which perished in the wilderness.
 This delay afforded last opportuni- ty for repentance ion the part Of wicked and perver4e generation. The candle was burning in it's socket. but stiil burning. In this the eleventh hour of their probation repentance would have brought salvation.

Scientific Uses Of Incense.
