wilderness experiences had taught

and trust in Divine appointments.
The crossing day came Joshua. by
Divine instruction, directed the priests
to bear the Ark Of the Covenant and
to go before the people AS their feet
touched the water, 1t began to recede
and they to advance. until finally they
stood in the middle of the river bed
still bearing the Ark representing the
Divine promise under which they had
left Egypt and were hoping for grand
results.
The hosts Of Israel, lining the banks
Of the Jordan for miles. crossed over
from Moab to Canaan. Twelve large
stones. representing the twelve tribes
were taken from the river bed and
piled on the shore as monument of
Gods aid, while twelve stones from
the shore were placed in the river as a
similar memorial Finally the priests
followed the people to the Canaan
shore. Shortly thereafter the waters
began to return to the river bed.
How the Miracle Was Done.
The fact that we may know with
considerable certainty just how this
miracle was performed should not in
the least detract from it's value. With
God nothing is a miracle. since He is
able to accomplish His will in every
respect. Many things are miracles
simply because we do not understand
the Divine processes. The growth of
even a blade Of grass is something
wholly beyond our power. and in a
genera way beyond our comprehen-
sion as process.
The account tells plainly enough that
the heaping up of the waters was
in the direction Of Adam. This place
has been located with considerable
certainty by Prof. Wright as seventeen
miles above Jericho. on the Jordan.

there were steep banks.
The character Of the soil in that vi
cinity would be favorable to the block
ing of the narrow channel Of the Jor-
dan there by the slipping of the hill
sides. Indeed, history tells that a
similar slide took place in that vicinity
In A. d. 1867, damming up the Jordan
for several hours and leaving the river
bed below quite dry, the waters drain
ing off to the Dead Sea.

BUFFALO, Dec. 27.-Mrs. Willis
Buffum has been indicted on the
charge of poisoning her husband, who
died recently under such circum-
stances that the police made an in
vestigation. He Is believed to have
been given arsenic in horse liniment
mixed with his food for several days.
The police are also investigating
the death of one of Mrs. Buffum's
children and the sickness of several
others. When she was arrested she
was taken to the bedside of dying
daughter, and If she had tried to kill
the child she had evidently regretted
it, for she broke down.
The motive in the poisoning of the
husband, the police believe, was the
womans love for the brother of her
sister-in-law. man of 25 years. Mrs
Buffum Is 38.
