declaration of the purpose of the nation
to recognize the independence of the
islands. The immediate step of granting
US a majority on the commission places
in our hands the instruments of power
and responsibility for the establishment
by ourselves of a stable Filipino govern
ment We fully appreciate and are deeply
grateful for the confidence reposed in us
by the government of the United States.
We look upon the appointment of tho
Hon. Francis Burton Harrison as governor
general as the unmistakable harbinger of
the new era in which we expect the atti-
tude of the people to be one of co-opera-
tion and finally we believe happily the ex-
periments of imperialism have come TO
an end, and that colonial exploitation has
passed into history.

Mistrust Epoch Closed


eThe epoch of mistrust has been closed
and the Filipinos. upon having thrown
open to them the doors of opportunity,
are required to assume the burden of re-
sponsibillty which it would be inexcusable
cowardce on their part to avoid or de-
cline. Owing to this, a few days have
sufficed to bring about a good under
standing between Americans and FIJI
ipinos, which it had been impossible to
establish during the 13 years past. We
are convinced that every onward step,
while relieving the American government
of it's responsibilities i'll the islands, will,
as in the past, fully demonstrate the pres
ent capacity of the Filipino people to es-
tablish government of its own and guar
antee in IA permanent manner the safety
under such government of the life, prop
erty and liberty of the residents OF the
islands national as we'll as foreign
1--WE do not wish to say by this that
there will not be difficulties and embar-
rassments. nor do we even expect that
the campaign, open or concealed, of the
enemies of the Filipino cause will cease
soon, but we feel sure that through a
conservative use of the powers entrusted
TO us the Filipino will with Gods favor
and the help of America, emerge trium-
phantly from the test, however difficult
it may be.

Edomites, Moabites. Midianites


The peoples of Canaan Were not related
to Abraham; but the Edomnites, Moabites
and Midianits, dwelling south and east
OF Canaan, We're of blood relationship to
Israel. The divine programme. was that
1sreal leave these related peoples unmo-
lested,- except when they made the attack.
From Kadesh the nearest route to Canaan
was through Edom. Israel asked permits.
sion to cross Edom and offered to pay
any damage. Permission being refused, in
harmony with the covenant between Esau
and Jacob, Israel detoured to the south
and passed through Moab
This detour of so vast a company was
disheartening. Again there came mur-
murng against Moses, who really repre-
sented God to them. Their murmurings
were severely punished. They were, not
protected from the serpents in that vicin-
ity. Many died. Moses made a brazen
serpent and erected 1t upon a pole.
Throughout the camp went messages d.
recting the people to look at the brazen
serpent, exercise faith and be healed
Thus not only was natural Israel chas-
tened, punished, but lasting. lesson was
written for spiritual Israelists. The fiery
serpent of sin has bitten our race and
only by exercising faith in the Crucified
One can any be healed. Our mission dur
ing the reign of sin and death has been
to point the sin-bitten to the Savior. But
the day Is nearing when Messiah's king
dom will bring blessings to all.
