God purpose or ability wOul be dis
loyalty.
He who hath led will cad
All through the Wilderness;
He who hath fed will feed;
He who hath heard thy cry
Will never close his ear,
He who hath marked thy faintest
sigh
Will not forget thy tear.
He loveth always, faileth never.
So rest on him., today, forever.
Then trust him for today,
AS thine unfailing Friend,
! And let him lead thee all the way.
Who lOveth to the end,
And let the morrow rest
In the beloved hand;
His good is better than our best,
And we shall understand,
If. trusting him who faileth never.
We rest on him, today, forever"
Reorganizing the Business.
Really, what allied Moses was that
he had not been handling his work
we'll. He was carrying too much de-
tail. His blunder was that of the
modern business mar who goes to-the
wall because he does not know how
to delegate responsibility. The prin-
ciple, ITO every man his work is a
sound business maxim, which Moses
was not the first or the last to violate.
He thought he had to be the Office boy
as we'll as the general manager.
AS gently as possible Jerovah point
ed out to Moses his blunder 1t was
as If the president Of a great corpora
ton had called aside the head of a
department who was ready to resign
because his work did not go well, n
had said to him, See here, Jones, you
have been trying to do too much work
yourself, and it has got on your
nerves. What you need is a vacation,
and then a reorganization Of your de-
partment with more assistants to
whom you can delegate authority.
! Cheer up, old man; this business is
not going to the dogs. | am president

So Moses was instructed to install
seventy elders, to divide his work with
$ him, and to act as Bullets between him
and the irritating contact with the
S crassness and ingratituGe and com
planning of h people. Many a church
and society needs what Moses needed:
more distributed responsibility and a
better system of training up workers
The difference between success and
failure in some Sunday school classes
is the difference between the teachers
doing things herself and getting tn

ignoble souls have been making al

This lusting for the leeks of luxur,
is a universal weakness. There ar
