Confidence and Authority.

But Jehovah never leaves his own
". 81, Matt 1920, nor does he leave
man to blind fate or fortuitous cir
cumstances. Therefore we read in
verse the counsel Of Jehovah as to
the method whereby Joshua and Is
rael may prosper" ". y or according
to the margin do wisely" viz, they
shall mediate upon the books of the
law. This verse Is enough for the
entire class session The leader, be

doubt about the word of God, or
stands dumb before the empty tomb
had better seek a new vocation for

grating class or church and decad.
ent faith. The origin of man, the
mystery of life, the destiny of the
soul, demands the voice of confidence
and authority not of uncertainty and
doubt. True prosperity and wisdom
are conditioned upon our taking the
word Of God as the man of our coun.
sci, the light Of our path, our daily
meditation. The definite result Of
such a course is set before Joshua,
and in addition he was promised the
companionshlp ". 81 Of Jehovah every
step of the way. 1t is interesting in
this connection to remember that
Joshua was associated with Moses in
the first experience Of war in the his
| tory OF this Young nation.
Conclusion. The greatest lesson be.
! fore us at this time is that of contlnu.
lty of the purposes Of God. AS great
| and important as Moses has been dur
ing his 40 years Of leadership, yet he
was not necessary. The instrument
Of divine deliverance, direction and
discipline, yea, the voice of God to Is
rael the receiver of their complaints
and of their confessions, yet now he
has been removed. What a tremen-
dous blank he must have left. Yet
Israel is to go forward, there is to be
no halting in its progress. God had
been training men for 40 years, one
of whose faith failed not at the sight
of the giants, one who had fellowship
with the old and is now to face the
new. We recall the words Of John
Wesley, inscribed upon his memo
rial tablet in Westminster abbey, God
buries his workmen, but carries on
his work" Each individual in the
long succession of leaders has his ap-
pointed task, and as he Is loyal com.
pletes that task thereby preparing the
way for a new leader. The abiding
principles that condition each mans
success are loyalty to the past, and
implicit, obedient following Of God
along the new pathway; as Joshua
said, I'VE have not passed this way
before"

will clear out the system wonderfully
and also tone up the nerves.
The remedial powers of the pineap.
pie are truly remarkable. If your
throat is swollen or sore, or irritated
with dirt after a fascinating motor
trip on summer roads, try gargling it
in pineapple juice. Surely this is
much pleasanter than the usual To-
lions, and you will find it quite as
effective, Moreover, the pineapple
contains a wonderful digestive fluid,
SO the girl whose blotchy skin is due
to poor digestion will do well to eat
this fruit in large quantities, as it will
make easy the process Of digestion
and prevent the dull headaches, the
pimples and muddy skin of which she
is at present complaining.
