Courage From Fear.

They that wait upon the Lord have
reason to be of good courage. True cour-
age is because God strengtheneth the
heart. 1t is only when the heart is fixed
trusting in God. the mind stayed upon
Him. that one can be truly courageous in
the face of trials and dangers
1t has been well said that courage is
not the absence of fear. but the forcing
Of fear to obey reason and conscience,

God alone can give that grace. The
fear of God inspires us to many things

doing.

Scope of the Book.

In general: The purpose of the Bible is
to reveal and expound Gods plan for the
redemption of humanity. What is called
the redemption thread" runs through the
whole Bible from beginning to end. Civ
ing unity, conference and logical and his
torical continuity and sequence to the
whole. The scope of Exodus is to give its
logical and historical part of the unfold
ing of the great plan.
In particular: In the introduction to
Genesis lin The Star of Saturday, Janu-
ary I'D IL was seen that the word ruin
could be written all over the book, but
the gloom was in measure relieved by
an accompanying irradiating promise of
restoration. Exodus begins to conspicu-
ously make good, for all over ii the word
redemption can be written. the first lu-
minous illustration of the fact being the
event. OF a people redeemed from Egypt

But the worlds course. the while, was
downward. sadly downward
What about the promise and its full
fllment?
Evidently some new plan must be de-
vised and some new force must enter
that would work toward and result in
fulfillment. God must have nation

tutelage and training He did not choose

start a new one. For this purpose lie

1t is certain that the fulnllment must

millions; and it is certain that the full
fillment would be hindered if not be rem

work out the divine plan Of which they
were both agents and subjects. But how

Source of Courage.

The source of Christian courage is the
fear Of the Lord. We can only be truly
brave in His strength and in the power
of His might Its basis is in the love of
God In that love We have holiness: per-
feet love casteth out fear. and the Chris
tan may boldly say the Lord is my
helper and | will not fear what man can
do unto me-" His reliance is in God S
promise Il will never leave thee. nor
forsake thee
Belief in Gods word is the fountain
from which courage is drawn. Fear ex-
lists because of our impotence, courage be-
cause of Gods omnpotence In the
twenty-seventh Psalm David beautifully
expresses the reasons for courage at all
times:
1.-The Lord is the strength OF my life, of
whom shall l be afraid.
Though an host should encamp against
me- my heart shall not fear; though war
should rise against me in this will ] be
confident
For in the time of trouble. He will
hide me in His pavilion in the secret of
His tabernacle shall He hide me; He
shall set me upon rock.
No need to be in fear of enemies or
troubles, for God is the refuge and
strength of His people. Our part is to
wait on the Lord be of good courage
and He shall strengthen thine heart.
Wait, l say, on the Lord

strong influence and is only overcome by
the fear of God
Is it a paradox to say that courage is
born of fear?
Is it not true that the fear of doing
wrong has produced the highest type OF
courage?
A courageous act is far more important
than a courageous impulse. It is the do
ing of a brave thing that counts, even
though done in fear and trembling.

cording TO tradition had been foretold to

The srea tness Of her heroic soul is

reflect the molding influence of our

All Grow Together.

. All these graces should grow at the
same time. If we were to sec only inn
provement in the grace of courage, or
any other one grace, we would fail to
reach the highest attainment in that
grace.
Are You seeking for firmness' courage
and stability? Then pray for faith. hope
and love; for patience. meekness ana
gentleness and for justice mercy ana
truth. The highest attainment in any
grace is found In the development OF all.

RED HAIR ALWAYS DISLlKED
With the Exception of the Romans,
Ancient Peoples Had Strong
Aversion to II.

Rod in tho fashionable color of won-
sa's hair just now, but in many pc
riods and countries to have red hair
meant to test the depths Of misfor-
tune, even of death.
Prejudice against red hair runs back
even to Egyptian times, for in that
land Of decided opinions and strong
prejidices it was the custom to burn
aiife some unfortunate individual
cursed with red hair. so 1t was decid-
adly uncomfortable to have red hair
In Egypt, as no one knew whose turn
would como next.
That the Chinese shared this pre1u-
dice against red hair is proved by
their epithet for the English. whom
they called "red-haired barbarians"
CT "red haired devils"
The great exception to this rule
among ancient nations Is the Romans,
for since the time of Nero they have
praised red hair In the highest terms.
They preferred dark red, almost
brown, such as we term auburn, and
modern Romans share this liking. 1t is
said that among the patrician families
Of Rome and Florence there Is an abb
normally large number of red-haired
women. Modern Greeks share this pre-
objection with the Romans and they
highten the reddish effect of the hair
by wearing dull gold ornaments.
One uf the most frequent causes OF
the prejudice against red hair In Chris
tian countries undoubtedly goes back
to the tradition that Judas, the be
trayer of Jesus, had red hair, and most
of the artists paint him thus. Shakes
peare refers to this in "As You Yikt
It." when Rosalind says of Orlando
his very hair is of the DESCENDING
color" ana Celia answers: Some
thing brownor than Judas"
Tie Brahmins were FORBIDDEN Z
marry red-haired women and. as has
been said: 1.-THE populace OF mos
countries, confounding moral with @
thetic impressions, accuse red-haire,
people of various shortcomings"
Besides the old tradition of Juda
having been red-haired aiding to ere
ate the prejudice existing in man.
