Confidence ana Authority.

But Jehovah never leaves his own
~. 81, Matt. 2S:20.. nor does he leave
man to blind fate or fortuitous cir
cumstances. Therefore we read in
verse the counsel of Jehovah as to
the method whereby Joshua and Is,
rael may prosper w. y or according
to the margin do wisely viz. they
shall mediate upon the books Of the
law. This verse is enough for the
entire class session. The leader, be
he preacher or teacher, who has any
doubt about the word of God, or
stands dumb before the empty tomb
had better seek a new vocation for
grating class or church and decad.
ent faith. The origin of man, the
mystery of lie, the destiny of the
soul, demands the voice Of confidence
and authority not of uncertainty and
doubt. True prosperity and wisdom
are conditioned upon our taking the
word of God as the man of our coun-
sci, the light of our path, our daily
meditation. The definite result OF
such course is set before Joshua,
and in addition he was promised the
companionshlp ". 81 of Jehovah every
step of the way. 1t is interesting in
this connection to remember that
Joshua was associated with Moses in
the first experience Of war in the his
tory of this young nation.
Conclusion. The greatest lesson be-
fore us at this time is that of continu-
ity of the purposes Of God. As great
and important as Moses has been dur
irg his 40 years of leadership, yet he
was not necessary. The instrument
OF divine deliverance, direction and
discipline, yea, the voice of God to Is
rael, the receiver of their complaints
and of their confessions, yet now he
has been removed. What tremen-
dous blank he must have left. Yet
Israel is to go forward, there is to be
no hating in its progress. God had
been training men for 40 years, one
of whose faith failed not at the sight
of the giants, one who had fellowship
with the old and is now to face the
new We recall the words of John
Wesley, inscribed upon his memo
rial tablet In Westminster abbey, God
buries his workmen, but carries on
his work Each individual in the
long succession of leaders has his ap.
pointed task, and as he is loyal com
pietes that task thereby preparing the
way for new leader. The abiding
principles that condition each mans
success are loyalty to the past. and

said, Eye have not passed this way

Jehovah to this newly chosen leader

q prayerful attitude on. the part of
Joshua, but in no way is it to be con-
strued that Moses was hindrance
TO this forward march of the people OF
God. Rather, that Moses work was
completed and on the basis of his
work an advance was to be made.

THE MAJESTY OF
DANIEL WEBSTER
Needed No Posing, Since He
Was Most Impressive When
Most Natural.

We must take account of his physi-
cal endowment for speaking. HIS
voice ran the whole range, from the
high, penetrating tones to thet rich
organ notes, and it's power enabled
him to address men in acres. The
majesty of his appearance fingers IN
his portraits and can be SEGA in every
kind of art which has perpetuated his
features.
He had no need to pose, since the
highest effect he could hope to at
tain could be no more impressive
than the natural expression of him
self. The black eyes, big and brill
liant: the massive and noble head,
with wide, arched brows; the strong
and stately figure, the face looking
as if carved out of granite and yet
speaking in every line, all gave the
idea of tremendous power.
No other figure of his time was
comparable in the impression it made
upon the. general mind. He seemed
much larger than he was. William
Lloyd Garrison, who differed from
him very widely. speaks of his AT
lantean massiveness," and adds, His
glance is a mingling of the sunshine
and lightning of heaven; his features
are full of intellectual greatness"
To the same effect, but more pic
turesque, were Sydney Smiths char
acterizations, a steam engine in
trousers" and "a small cathedral all
by himself" Many similar opinions
might be cited from Carlyle, Hallam
Theodore Parker and other notable
men upon both sides of the Atlantic.
