this side of the fruition of their higher plans -oz life.
 pr. Porter said in part:
 There is no more interesting figure In all history than that of the man Moses. He Is great whether as a war vior he fights the battles of the Lord. or as philosopher he reaches heights untredden by merely mortal feet. As leader of men he has no peer through all the ages. his laws bind the nations or the earth today He has been called the type of Christ, but he Is even more the type of the human race. What q dramatic picture Is that of his endl Below on the plains of Moab, are his people whom he has led and comforted through all those years of warning. Now they watch him through tears. climbing up and up that mountain, where he is to meet God. One last look. and the vapors hide him. He goes to his death alone.
 s"Pathetic! Pathetic!
 By Nebo's lonely mountain,
 On this side Jordan's wave,
 In vale in the land of Moab.
 There lies lonely grave"
 He died alone. as he had lived alone. Into the silence of his high spirit no man came We also must live our lives alone. ht,s
 Some one has said that we are all islands. shouting lies to each other. Heart to heart was never known Like Moses. we too. must die alone. Our nearest cannot help us then. A crowd Is no company In that hour
 "A noted general lay dying. and one said to him. General be brave now. as you were, in the red fields with the army at your back. Ah. he said. but the army is not back of me now"
 He went out alone. No face of loved one nor voice of friend can attend that dark hour. Alone. as to human com panionshtp. but shall we have God and His Angels ls7--that is the question 1t will be enough for you and enough for me. beloved. If In the dark waters. we can feel around uz the everlasting arms
 Moses died by the voice Of God. ,sso die we all This eliminates chance--if a man is to die by the will of the Lord. no accident can befall him Beishazzar died in tho midst of his tmpions feast
