affection developed in accordance with
His promise a mighty people that dur
ing one night He would change from
slaves to freemen.
After many strokes Gods hammer
finally broke with this last plague the
letters that enchanted Israel as a peo-
pie, and they marched forth from
Egypt to establish a new nation. This
marked new era in the history OF
the chosen people. God himself recog-
nized the Importance OF 1t by COM
handing Israel to change its calendar
and reckon the beginning OF their year
tional feast, the passover.
When the scholarly Bunsen saw the
influence Of that event upon the SUBJ
sequent history of the world marking
as it did the beginning of a new era
in time he declared that history be-
gan with the exodus" While one may
well hesitate to accept that extrava-
CANT statement, yet we can see that
just as regeneration is the greatest
event in any individuals life, and that
he does not begin to live until he
comes into fellowship with God by
being born again, SO that the date OF
his new birth marks the commence
ment of his Christian life. So the vital
experience Of that night that made
Israel conscious for the first time Of
a nation, and sent them forth filled
with mighty expectations. marked the
recovery OF their primitive spirit and
traditions, and filled them as a nation
with ''the glorious liberty OF the chill
dren of God" The destinies OF the
world were involved in the preparation
OF the passover.

Passover Preparation.

Many attempts have been made to
trace the origin OF the passover to differ
ent events and feasts that can be found
in other religions. Some have sought to
trace its beginnings In the religious cele-
brations observed by many nations In
connection with the spring equinox.
while others suggest that it's origin was
found in the shepherds offering of the
first born, which was considered sacred.
for the fruitfulness Of the flock. Some
have suggested that it was essentially
sacrifice of atonement In the substitu-
ton Of the first born Of men, while
others trace its origin to 1.-The widespread
belief that sacrifices alone could secure
house from the wrath OF heaven.
Trumbull claimed that 1t goes back to
the threshold covenant: that he found
among many nations in the covenant
welcome given to guest or to a bride or
bridegroom I'm marriage by the outpour-
ing of blood on the threshold of the
door and by staining the doorway itself
with the blood Of the covenant"
These views, mostly conjectures, have
value by pointing out the possible ways
in which the passover came into use.
It was instituted by Jehovah. There can
be no question as to the fact tnat.n mas

The Test.

The fact that railroad arrangements
have forbidden the use OF alcohol by
their employees is striking acknowl-
edgment that the use Of intoxicating liquor
destroys Judgment and skill to such an
extent that in occupations where those
oualities are required men who are in
temperate will not be employed.
