leaders Of Israel to appear before him.
He knew the tendencies which the M.

!. A Review Of What God Had Done
(2S:8. ~.
I. God had fought lsrael's battles
". 81. He gave them victory over the
strong nations which inhabited Ca
naan. Striking evidences Of this are
the capture Of Jericho and victory at
Gibeon when the sun stood still at
Joshua's command. This victory had
been secured quickly. which indicates
that God had interposed 10 their BE-
half.
2. God by the hand Of Joshua had
apportioned the land among the tribes
". ~ for an inheritance. In chapter
"a Joshua rehearses the wonderful
things God had done for the nation
extending from Abraham down
through the ages.
u. Points Out the Promises a. VT
UnfuIhlied (2S $40.
I. HE shall expel them before you"
". 81. The actual possession which
God had given was the pledge that he
would give them full possession. Gods
promise was the guarantee Of this. In
view Of Gods faithful performance
Of all his promises there should be
no room for doubt.
2. "One man of you shall chase Z
thousand" ". 10Y. The reason Of this
was because the Lord God would fight
for them. To have the Lord fight for
US is to have the assurance of victory
regardless Of how few or how many.
3. The condition upon which these
promises would be realized. (l) "Be
very courageous" ". 81. At. 4 time
like this 1t required courage to look to
God for all the nations needs. (2)
Keep and do all that is written In
the law Of Moses" ". 81. Fidelity t.
Gods law was essential. Turning
aside In any particular would forfeit
their claims upon him. (3) Keep
aloof from the Canaanites" ". ".
This separation was to obtain with
reference to (a) marriage among them
(b) idolatrous customs. ~ Cleave
wholly unto God ". 81.
~. Solemn Warnings Issued (23
l1-l8).
I. Take good heed that you love God
sincerely ". l1). Love to God Is the
sum total OF duty toward him.
2. Refrain from intermarrlage among
the Canaanites ". 12). For Gods peo.
pie to intermarry among the heather
Is to set In motion influences which
would issue In confusion and disaster.
3. God will make the heather
snares. traps and scourges instead Of
giving victory over them ". 1877.
4. Evil things will come upon them
just as good things had been done for
them even to their destruction ". 15).
8. The wrath Of God kindled against
them ". 18).

"a THING OF BEAUTY
is A JOY FOREVER"
The City Hall Grounds Qualify in This
During Part of the Year.

Ye citizens from all sections of
Pleasantville, have you seen the city's
real beauty spot? 1t would amply re-
pay n to take a trip to the center
of the city to view the City Hall park,
which the efficient and thorough Gus
todian, Mark Fritsch, and his assist
ants have converted into a plot of sur
passing loneliness. The lawn is like
unto a green velvet carpet and the
thousands of blooms of v~ari-colored
a~sters, scarlet sage, cannas and others
compose an effect that delights the eye
of all who have the good fortune to
look upon it. At all hours of the day
automobile tourists are seen to stop
and gaze in yonder and admiration up
on this floral paradise.
What a beautiful square that would
be if the city owned the lot west of
the City Hall also, and that presented
the same appearance as the east lot.
The west lot is overgrown with rank
weeds and grass, which makes a con
trast that is really painful to the eye.
