Rendezvous. Request, Refusal.

When the assembled elders who rep
resented the peope heard the message of
Moses that Aaron spoke to them and saw
the signs that certified that they were
from God. who planned 10 make them
free, they worsh.ped Jehovah. The w.ll-
ming of the support of the elders was
the first step In starting the Il es OF
revolution among the oppressed Hebrews.
The return Of Moses thrilled Israel with
the promise Of emancipation and threat
ened Egypt with the danger OF an up
rising under the leadership of one who
had been trained In its cou ts and who
had heard the summons OF God 10 be His
representative In the deliverance of His
people.
The appearance OF Moses once more IN
the court of Pharaoh marked the inaueu-
ration of an instruction agains. n
tyrranical government that Is without
parallel In history. One can imagine the
feelings that moved Moses. as with the
commanding dignity of a prophet OF God.
he entered upon the scenes that had
hardly changed during his forty years
absence. There was no regret, as he
recall ed his past experiences. for he saw
clearly how under divine providence all
things had worked together for good
from a knowledge Of an alliance with
God, ne courageouslv demanded the right
Of worshiping Jehovah for Israel. The
strength of their cause was not apparent.
Two men, one claiming to be a prophet
and the other his Interpreter, demanding

The One Message.

Go We into all the world and preach

One might 60 to a heather land and
teach many things and. yet not be q
the mere going, more than the mere

the message he Is to deliver. The essen
tial demand is that he have knowledge
Of the gospel.

gospel.

knowledge Is the Bible. It's study in
the spirit of prayer and faith affords
all needed information as to the mes
sage. How to best deliver 1t requires
information concerning the habits, cts
toms and conditions of the people to
whom the missionary goes. At the be-
ginning there Is necessarily much ig-
norance in this direction and which
can only be overcome by patient and
diligent labor.

Peculiar Belief.

Two centuries have passed since
the Scottish Judge Lord Monboddo
was born. In his "Origin and Prog
ress of Language" he argued that hu-
man beings should be studied like
other animals; but this doctrine seem
ed to the contemporaries of DR.. John
son so ridiculous that the wags based
many a jest upon it. His belief that
men got rid of their tails by sitting
upon them would now scarcely raise
a smile among anthropologists. Among
his more startling propositions was the
earnestly maintained one that the ou-
rang-outang was a class of the hu-
man species, and that it's want Of
speech was merely accidental"
