LESSONS IN ECONOMY.

1t has been decided to teach
economy, saving money, in the
schools Of Altoona. Economy is an
element of character of great value
TO men and pleasing to God. 1t will
be remembered that when the angel
OF death passed through the land
OF Egypt in the night prior to
lsraePs deliverance, the Israelites
had in their houses considerable
supplies of bread not yet baked. In
stead OF throwing the dough away
when they began their march to Ca
naan, 1.-The people took their dough
before it was leavened, their knead-
ing troughs being bound up in their
clothes upon their shoulders" and
thus departed. eek. 12:34.) AL
though God provided them with !
with bread iiIc..7e71 Heaven after this
food was exhausted, yet they were
expected to use it while it lasted.
The deliverance of Israel from
Egypt is a wonderful picture of the
coming deliverance of mankind at
the hands of the One of whom Moses
said, ''The Lord thy God will raise
up unto thee a prophet from the.
midst of thee, of thy brethren, like
unto me-" (Deut. 18:15-19D AS
Moses delivered Israel from the pow
er of Pharaoh, so the Messiah will
deliver mankind from the power of
the Devil, AS Pharaoh was drowned,
so the Devil will be destroyed:
Never shalt thou be any more"
are the words addressed to Satan to
show that he will not be preserved
anywhere. Geek. %: 1919
AS Moses had the people save their
dough, unleavened, and carry it with
them across the Red Sea, so the
Messiah, during the Messianic reign,
will have the people knead, bake
and eat the bread of life, the Word
of God, upon which it is now our
privilege to feed. Then the food
will be without leaven Corrupt err
rors,) whereas now we do not al
ways get the bread of life served in
that way Another difficulty is that

Resolutions by the Seattle
