A GOOD MANS SIN.
Numbers 20: 1-18-Oct. 26.

LET the words Of my mouth. and
the meditation of my heart, be accep-
table in Thy sight o Lord, my
Strength, and my Redeemer. Psalm
1874.
z For thirty-eight years the Israelltes
resided in the wilderness, making
Kadesh-Barnea their camp center, but
really occupying a considerable por-
ton OF the wilderness with their
fiocks and herds. In April of the for
tieth year by Divine command through
Moses, they assembled at Kadesh,
prepared to enter the Land of Prom
ise. But the water supply was scant
Murmurings arose, and inquiries
whether II we're not better TO have
perlshed in Egypt or elsewhere than
to perish there from thirst.
Moses and Aaron went to the Lord
with the matter, desiring guidance
from on High. The Lord graciously
manifested Himself-quite probably to
Israel also. who looked on. This glory
which appeared unto them is surmised
to have been a ray OF light emanating
from the Mercy Seat in the Most
Holy.
Moses and Aaron we're instructed to
take the rod, presumably "Aaron's rod
that budded." and that was kept in
the Ark in the Most Holy. That rod
would remind the people of the Lords
special acceptance of Aaron as nigh
priest and Moses assistant, and OF the
Divine favor which hitherto had
guided their nation and would con-
tinue to guide all who trusted in the
Lord.
Shifting the Rock a Sin.
The Lord particularly directed that
Noses should speak 90 the rock, AMI
waters would rush forth. About thirty
eight years before, in a similar cxpe'
rience near Mt. Sinai, Moses nad
been instructed TO smite the rock; but
in this case the rock was not 20 be
smitten. Here Moses and Aaron sin
ned. "The meekest man in all the
earth" forgot himself. and allowed a
spirit somewhat akin to pride, self
suficiency and anger to control him
for the moment. Shifting the rock. he
cried aloud to the people, ''Ye rebels,
must l bring you water out OF this
rock?"
The water indeed came forth, as
the Lord had promised. The people
got the blessing needed, but one OF
the most illustrious servants of God
fell under Divine disapprobation. The
Lords decree was that neither Moses
nor Aaron should enter Canaan

The fact that neither Moses nor
