CLOSING THOUGHTS-The great
character of the quarters study is Joshua
the leader of Israel. the successor Of
Moses. His wisdom. patriotism and piety,
conspicuous through his whole career
are manifest in the lessons in which he
appears. The crossing of Jordan, the
| capture of Jericho. the reward bestowed
upon his old friend and associate the APP
! pointment of the six cities of refuge the
renewing of the covenant are in full har-
mony with the splendor of dis remarkable
career. Gideon and Samson. two Judges
/ in Israel. present striking contrasts. the
one of singular faith. the other of physical
| strength, both serving the Lord in their
! spheres. Ruth, the Moabitess is a beaUl-
tiful convert from heathenism to Judaism.
| Temperance. as taught by Paul. needs to-
! be universally inculcated. The advent of
Christ and his reception by men is the
] grandest story of all the ages.
