on a Euclid avenue car at the public
square, and succeeded in getting a
whole seat. Then the car filed up,

to be pleading for something; the girl
was evidently demurring.

Achan's Sins Revealed.

The stages of the sin of Achan are
wonderfully revealed in the confession
(v. 2D which was finally wrung from

|. Joshua's error, w. 60. 1t was
right and proper for Joshua to bring
his difficulty to God, but it was not
right for him to lay upon him the
blame for his defeat. Moses before
him had made that same mistake Eek.
5:22, 23), and it would seem that
Joshua should have profited thereby.
In this, however, he is supremely hui
man. We of today with far greater
light are constantly making this same
mistake of accusing God, instead Of
finding out and judging our sin.
There is, however, an underlying note
Of the master passion Of Joshua 8
heart, that note which had so gov
erned the heart of his predecessor,
Moses. 1t is expressed in the last note
of his complaint, What wilt thou do
for thy great name?" V. g. This com
plant and petition sounds very much
like those of the preceding generation
uttered in the wilderness. For US to
wish ourselves to be content to dwell
beyond Jordon" when the testing
times of our Christian life come, when
the calls come for an advance, is tc
doubt his wisdom. No wonder Joshua
was amazed when he saw Israel turn
its back upon it's enemies (v. 81. We
must beware lest we, too, be dismayed
when we see the church OF today give
way before the world and the devil
II. The cause of defeat, w. 1912.
Joshua's petition is answered by the
voice of Jehovah in terms of rebuke,
strong, yet tender. In verse two we
are told that Joshua sent men to view
Al. Why? Because in the language Of
verse one the children of Israel COM
mitted a trespass in the accursed
thing" Joshua wanted the people to
know that the sin of Achan and its
results was the sin of the whole ma
ton. God brings the essential one
ness of the nation before us in verse
eleven; for an illustration, see l. Cor.
5:1-7 and 12:12-14, Is. The whole
cause of Christ is injured by the sin,
neglect or unspirituality Of one be-
lever. Joshua in this rebuke is ex-
onerated from blame. Get thee up"
While the nation suffers because of
individual responsibility yet God dis
eliminates and at the same time tells
his servants the steps Of judgment and
of cleansing.

GODS instructions.

III. The victory of defeat, Wv 1915.
1t is a testimony as to the spiritual
condition of this nation that the fraud
was so soon located. The early Chris
tan church had parallel incident in
the case of Ananias and Sapphire, Acts
5: Ill. In each case the evil was
quickly Judged and reveals the close
cess of years Israel passed from that
condition; has the church of today so
passed? God had given explicit in
structions as to the spoil (ch. 6:18, R.
W. God commands Joshua not to
cry unto him, but to ''sanctify the peo-
pie The church OF Christ, as we'll
as the individual, needs to judge its
sin and to set itself apart unto God.
To organize, to fight, or to pray even,
and not to put sin out of the life is to
continue a life Of defeat. When
through disobedience our connection
with the Infinite is broken, then fear
takes possession Of the souls of those
who should be strong and very cour-
ageous Elsa. 59:2; Cor. GA, II, IS;
I'D. Notice there was no delay in
doing this work ". IA, and the pro-
cess was that of dealing with indiyid-
uals ". Il, 15).
1t was a stern judgment and the
query arises what sort of bonfire
would the church have today were all
sinfully acquired property to suffer
similar destruction. 1t is noticeable,
however. that there is no suggestion
Of any confession on the part of Achan
until the narrowing circle of Judge
ment had closed upon him. He con-
fessed only when there was no pos
sible escape. This seems like a stern.
hard process, but yet God was deal
ing in mercy with the whole people,
even as does the surgeon when he re-
moves a diseased member of the hui
man body. The story Of Achan teaches
US that there can be no restoration to
a life of fellowship except upon the
basis of the resolute and absolute put
ting away of that which served to
break in upon that Fellowship
