Review: Victories of Faith. Gene

THE FIRST CRUSADE.
We have recently seen the Holy Land
redeemed from the snslavement of the
Turk and have rejsSced at its new free
dom. But it has been battle ground
thru the centuries and its hills and val
leys have all been fertiized with the
blood of men. In the quarter we have
studied near three hundred years of
history covering the first attempt to
wrest that territory from the hands of
it's holders and give it to Jehovah. APP
parently the result is an utter failure
for the only occupants are the dead
from Abraham to Jacob and the only
land possessed is cemetery. Israel is
in Egypt and Canaan seems as it was
before the first adventurous journey in

to its borders. But it has seen the
sitting of the seed for Ishmael has
dropped out, Esau has gone and in the
soul of that more spiritual line has been
placed the promise that CLEANS like a
star thru all their adverse years. Faith
has planted her standard upon those
hills and that banner was never lowered
nor is it yet in the heart of many a
Hebrew. The world stage upon which
the drama was played was very mar
row one. Greece. Rome, Carthage were
unknown. Homer had not lifted his
voice in song nor had Aeneas taken his
adventurous journeys. The Hittite, the
Babylonian and the Egyptian controlled
the earth and Palestine was their bridge
of communication. There was no Bible,
no church, no Christ; only God was a
reality in the faith of few folk yet it
was enough to start movement that
has just tossed into the scrap heap the
mightiest military establishment the
world has known. Abraham, Isaac,
Jacob and Joseph have peopled the
earth with their children and the tiny
spring which they opened has become
the river of the Water of Life. Abra-

Get clear picture OF the world in
which they moved, its smallnese, its
continuous state of wsr, ITS polygam-
GUS homes, lis slave system, its law

a primitive frontier picture. Might Is
the highest right. But against that
background appear these forefatheFs of

they both heard and needed. Their
eyes were on the far horizon instead Cf
upon personal preferences and they
lived for the future instead of for their
present. What are some of their prin-
ciples that may be applied TO our world?
They had profound faith in the rule
Of God. They believed Him to be pres
ent in His world. He gave:a personal,
individual experience of His presence.
He demanded righteousness of life so
that sin against an Individual became
''sin against God" These ideas they
built into their world and certainly they
may be fitted into our own. Or each
lesson may be taken as illustrating some
form of faith making the golden text
the binding idea. Freshness may be in
jected by imagining these men return
ing to the life of today and trying to fit
them into it from the characteristics
we have discovered. Abraham would
still be pioneer, would he be an ex-
plorer like PearY discovering the pola
or like Livingston? Why do we so de-

this plan would have to be carefully an

lawful for one person to permit an
other to take a drink from his bot

but sees him do it. This was decided
in court in the case of "Si' Young,

trial before Judge Poffenberger, who
