Caleb was one of the few heroes

man of great faith. obedience and
patriotism. He had strength. health,
courage and conservation. He was
generous. unselfish and loyal to the
children of Israel. to Moses his COM
mander, and to God his king. He was
a man of bold spirit. for he was sent
out to spy out the land. He was strong.
for none but the strong were selected
for this work. He was hopeful. for
with Joshua he made a good report.
He was confident, yet had the spirit OF
victory. His faith was unwavering, for

travel, trial and warfare and at last
entered the promised land in triumph.

When Professor Blaikie was young
so we read in the recent volume of
his life and ietters-he wrote to his
sweetheart that some day they would
have overcome the obstacles In the way
of their union, and then they would
find life's supreme good in their unal-
loyed joy. Later, though, he wrote out
OF fuller experience OF life, that joy
is not the supreme consideration. What
he coveted, he wrote to his wife, was
a great goal a great struggle, and a
great victory. And re added, as an
afterthought, there is g. fourth. which
should perhaps be put first-a great
inspiration. The thought of the great
scholar is wise and stimulating. To
grow to our height we need a goal
and a struggle and a success; but
most Of all we need an inspiration.
