Jacob. crooked stick whom it took
long years and hard experience to
| straighten. II God could do what he
did with old Jacob. perhaps we are not
| wholly unavailable material.
Like many q man. Jacob came to
MS real greatness through his chill
dren. The most notable fact about
him is that he was the father of JOS
eph. There is comfort for parents in
the thought that. although we may
not be able to hold the torch high. we
! may at least be able to pass it on to
the son whose arm we have strength
ened.
Moses. Mad and Meek.
! Quite as today explains yesterday,
! and as tomorrow is needed to make
clear the meaning of today, SO it took
Sinai and Nebo to enable us to per-
ceive the unique significance Of the
schooling of Moses, son of a slave,
work of delivering the Jews he was
| traiped, and he used his peculiar
equipment for its highest purpose.
Moses did not belong with that favor
ed group of wel1-fitted young men, who
waste their noble preparation upon
their ignoble selves. He rose greatly
| to his great task.
The loss of his temper is the first
mature act Of Moses of which we read
and we cannot help loving him for
it. Hot with indignation over an in
justice, he risked his all to serve the
oppressed. God send us more men
, who dare blaze forth in behalf of truth
and justice and patriotism, in sublime
scorn of consequences. That deed
drove Moses to the wilderness. where
he got a discipline which the palaces
of Egypt could not give. He learned
how to be meek. and how to wait. 1t
is simply impossible to help men with
out being patient. We forgive Moses
his subsequent lapses from long-suf-
fering, for they came from caring lit
tie for Moses and all for his work. A
great patriot he, whom earth and
heaven honor.
The Good Times Coming.
All the men and events of this his
tory which the Sunday schools have
been studying looked forward to a
Promised Land. wherein the Chosen
People should find their mission. Now
we are learning them, the Jordan
crossed, their patience rewarded, the
land apportioned, and their national
life assured. The hand of God in it all
is as clear to us who read now as ever
was the pillar of cloud by day or of
fire by night. God guides the life of
men and of nations into steadily bet
tering conditions. In his scheme of
things. good times are always coming.
Now the Sunday schools drop the
Old Testament course, and take up
years study in the life Of Jesus. We
contemplate him of whom all the Old
Testament was but a prefiguration and
a preparation. The year should be
even richer and more vital than this
twelve months Of studies now ending.

Relatively. the greatest triumphs
OF the church are being achieved on
the foreign mission field. Like a

(BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.)

In his Mobile speech President Will
son put into the language of statecraft
the old missionary principle. with
which he became indoctrinated as a
boy in q Presbyterian manse, that one
nations business with other nations,
like one mans business with other
men, is primarily to be helpful to
them The law OF life, for countries
as for individuals, is service. And. by
the logical extension of that truth. we
are bound to seek relationship with
all the world in order to promote the
usefulness Of our ministry. and to
bring in the reign of universal broth
erhood. The missionary spirit is the
very genius of the days cosmopolitan
ism. The new diplomacy is nothing
more nor less than the old-fashioned
missionary idea, which our mothers
were practicing before ever the states
man became aware of 1t.
AS Atlas of old bore the earth on
his back. so every Christian bears on
his heart the world bequeathed to US
by the Lord Jesus.

This is the day Of big things. Our
times exult in magnitude. Mere size
is counted a virtue. To such, the d.
mansions of the missionary propagan-
Of the Christian church. With thirty
million dollars a year being spent for
foreign missions by the Protestant
churches Of the world, and with an
army of about twenty-five thousand
missionaries on the field. this enter
greatest undertaking of our time,
apart altogether from It's spiritual
significance.
Judged by its fruits-and is there
really any other way to Judge any
thing ?-the work of missions has
been a huge and staggering success.
1t has made over in the new myriads
of men and women. Transforming the
deepest springs Of their character.
Social and political and educational
usages, hoary with age, have been SUI
perseded by Christian standards. The
very form of great nations has been
changed. An era Of world unity has
been brought into existence. The
Christ laws have been written into the
statutes Of the st ties. into business
into social relationships and into in
ternational relationships. Whenever
any far-visioned statesman views the
whole horizon of our time he gives
honor to the influence of Christian
missions.

every member has a share in the

Robert Gray, one of the oldest mine owners of the county, was brought in from Stockton Hill few days ago to receive treatment for his eyes. Mr. Gray had the misfortune few years ago to be struck in the eye with a piece of iron from the butt of a whip which destroyed the sight. The other eye had been injured many years ago, and the two accidents caused total blindness. For long time it was thought that the sight of one eye would be recovered, but it has been gradually failing until practically nothing Is left of it. His host of friends will regret greatly his con- dition, and hope that something may be done to recover the lost sight of the other eye.
 J. A. Ellis and wife returned a few days ago from the Grand Canyon and other scenic places in the San Fran cisco mountain section, where they have been in company of c. c. Hall and wife, of Bisbee, and L. E. Matte. son, of Wilcox. The trip was made by automobile. Mr. Hall is principal of the Bisbee schools and Mr. Matte son is principal of the grammar school at Wilcox. The party had a great time viewing the great natural wonders of mountain and canyon.

The many schemes for the con version of water in the north part of this county is sure to bring good re. suits before next winter IS over. The rainfall in the north prrt of the State is heavy and the opportunity to dam up the big canyons of that section gives the agriculturists the chance of their lives to get plenty of water for irrigation purposes. At Beaver Dam a company is putting in dam to hold the flood waters of the Virgin and bring water to many thousands of acres at Mesquite flat. In the eastern part of the county many small ranches have sprung into existance.
