The murmurings grew out Of a defect

the bitter waters were made sweet
by casting In the springs a tree.
In all OF our bitter experience we,
too. will find comfort by turning to
His gospel. where we will learn the
directions for Transforming the trying
trials OF life into blessed experiences.
From Marah the forces OF Israel jour-
neyed down to Elm. or the Wady
Gharandi, with its delightful shade,
springs and supply Of food for the null
titude. many of whom had exhausted
the scant supply of food with which
they started from Egypt on the night
OF the Passover. The children of Israel
would have been satisfied. like any
modern men, to have stayed at Elm.
It's soft. enervating climate would have
Slapped the strength developed in
Egyptian slavery and untitled them
for the conquest and occupation Of Pal
estine. The building up OF the nation
demanded a different experience and
preparation to weld them into unity
of thought and life as a nation.
1t required forty years in the school
of the wilderness to fit Israel for the
life in Palestine. The first lesson that
the undisciplined recruit has to learn
Is obedience to the sanitary require
ments of camp life. Israel had not
learned that lesson. If they had tar
they probably would have faced an
epidemic, whose terrific destructive in
fluence would have decimated their
ranks.
Army officers recognize that one of
the principal things. if not the princi-
pal one, that our National Guard which
during the past few weeks has been
in its camps of instruction has to
learn Is the proper care of themselves
and the protection of the lives of 9TH
ers by obedience to the strict sanitary
laws that have proved SO beneficial in
reducing sickness in army life. The
greatest danger that America would

our own forces in camps made up of
raw recruits. who have not learned the
laws of safety that science has dis

The Lord, who watched over the des-
tiny of Israel, ordered that they break
camp and move into the wilderness.
where for forty years Israel underwent
the needed discipline to fit it for the
coming Palestine life and make 1t

earth as a world power. The whole will

as they had never seen such sterile and

Their environment might have LED tnem
to believe that they were caught In
