1t will be remembered how strict was
the charge OF Joshua before Jericho was
taken, that the people were not to take
anything from the city for self-enIich-
ment. He had said, THE city shall be
devoted. even It and all that Is therein,
to the Lord. . And ye, in any wise
keep yourselves from the devoted thing.

lesson. 1t was necessary at the COM

trates this fact.
The sin was FIRST an Individual one. This
fact Is chronicled in the opening verse.

possessing himself OF them. He immedi-

sin OF the man was reckoned as the sin

repeated by Jehovah to Joshua when He

Dwarf Grown to Greatness
England HOnOrs Memory of Nelson,
Who Always Was Ahead of Time
and Always Loyal Fighter.
By Rev. ThOs. b. Gregory -
7 WAS los years ago yesterday that

r T WAS los years ago yesterday that
Englands great admiral died in
Il the midst of his glory at Trafalgar.
When Nelson fell, mortally wounded
upon the bloOd-stained deck of the Vic
! tory he knew well enough that his
name would live forever in the naval
annals of the empire.
Englnd does well to be immensely
1 proud OF her one eyed little admiral,
| for he loved her with an everlasting
love, and served her with a devotion
| that knew no bounds.
1t was Nelson's genius that brought
| NapOleOn'S Egyptian expedition to
disastrous close; and it was the rec
wrought at the battle of the Nile that
saved England from the proposed
French invasion with the great en-
peror at its head.
Nelson had his faiIings, but his coun-
try has agreed to forget his weak
nesses and try to be duly grateful
for what he did for her in the hour
A little dwarf of a man, Nelson made
even his puny stature serve him. When
passing over the quay at Yarmouth to
take command of the ship to which he
had been appointed, he overheard some
one Sneeringly remark, why make
that little fellow captain? ?" And the
sneer stuck to him as long as he lived.
Little fellow he answered, this lit
tie fellow will yet be the biggest man
in the kings navy" It was the mem
DRY of that sneer that helped to make
him the most masterful sea fighter in
} the British history.
Nelson was noted for his unfailing
promptness When at the very height
Of his fame, with the laurels thick
about him, he was asked by an ardent
admirer how he accounted for his
great success, and the instant reply
was: 7 am always a quarter of an
hour ahead of time" He never for
got that in war position is half the
battle and he was ALWAYS at the
right place at the right time.
The little admiral had a lively sense
of the thing men call responsibility"
THE admiralty" he said. may order
me to a cockboat, but I will do my
duty" From early boyhOod he firmly
believed that whatever was worth do
ing at all was worth doing well; and
that conviction made Nelson immortal.
