The Twelve Spies-Fruit of Canaan

Again Moses stood upon the platform in
an attitude of prayer while God gave him
the command to spy out the land.
The twelve spies appeared, and as Moses
gave them Instructions they peered away
toward the South and up toward the NOUN
tains. While they were absent, the entire
school sang 'Beulah Land"
Returning, two Of the spies carried huge
cluster of grapes between them, and others,
baskets of fruit.
Gathering around Moses, in the sight Of
the people of Israel, ten of the spies began
telling doleful story. They said that the
people of the land of Canaan were very
strong, that they dwelt in great walled cit
les, and that there they saw giants beside
which they felt as grasshoppers.
Then Caleb and Joshua, stepping out, full
Of faith and courage, stilled the people and
declared they were well able to take the
land.
They plead with the people not to depart
from the Lord but the congregation was
ready to stone them and preferred to listen
to the towards who had brought an evil re-
port.
The Lord therefore spake unto Moses and
declared that He would smite with pes
thence and disinherit them and that none
from twenty years old and upward, save
Caleb and Joshua, should enter the Prom
ised Land.

THE PATRIARCHS
Abraham

A Seventh Grade pupil came upon the
platform and recited the promise made to
Abraham:
Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get
thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred,
and from thy fathers house, unto a land that
I will shew thee:
And l will make of thee great nation, and

THEISRAELITES In SLAVERY
Pharaoh's Decree

A little lad, in purple gown trimmed in
gold and wearing an Egyptian headdress,
sat on the throne of the Pharaohs of Egypt.
And because the Israelites waxed mighty,
Pharaoh issued decree, charging all his
people, saying, Every son that is born, ye
shall cast into the river, and every daughter
We shall save alive"

Moses Grown to Manhood

A lad representing Moses came upon the
platform while the following passages were
read:
By faith, Moses, when he was grown up, re-
fused to be called the son of Pharaoh; choos-
ing rather to be evil entreated with the people
of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for
a season.

Jacob and His Twelve Sons

The patriarch Jacob, with flowing gray
beard and Oriental attire, appeared seated
on the platform, surrounded by his sons.
Joseph, the son of his old age, came in and
related his dreams to his brethren, these
seeming to indicate that he would become
ruler over them-a and for this they hated
him.

Joseph Sold Into Egypt

Soon after, his father sent him to the
fields where his brethren were feeding the
hocks, in order to find whether it was well
with them.
The familiar story of Joseph was faith
fully depicted by the pupils, the brethren
conspiring to slay him as they saw him COM
ing across the fields, roughly stripping off
his coat of many colors and casting him into
pit at the behest of Reuben who interposed
for his life. Later, they sold him to a pass
ing company of Ishmaelites who were on
their way to Egypt.
Returning to their father, they showed
him Joseph's coat, torn and red with blood
Rising and wringing his hands, he exclaim-
ed in anguish, 'It is my sons coat. An evil
beast hath devoured him. Joseph is without
doubt, rent in pieces
The Brothers Come to Buy Corn
Pharaoh, attired in royal purple robe
and surrounded by the splendor of the
Egyptian court, sat on his throne.
The young man, Joseph, entered and in
terpreted dream which had troubled the
king, declaring that there should be seven
years of great plenty and other seven years
of sore famine
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch
as God hath showed thee all this there is none
so discreet and wise as thou art:
Thou shalt be over my house, and accord
ing unto thy word shall all my people be
ruled: only in the throne will I be greater
than thou.
And Pharaoh took off his ring from his
hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and ar
rayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put
gold chain about his neck.-Genesis 41:39-42
In the midst of the grievous famine that
spread over the land of Canaan and other
lands, the patriarch Jacob sent his sons into
Egypt to buy corn in order that they might
live and not die.
AS they entered the Egyptian rulers
house, he recognized them at a glance but
they were not aware that he was their
brother whom they had sold into Egypt
Speaking roughly, he denounced them as
spies. They replied, "Nay, my lord, but to
buy food are thy servants come"
The ruler then demanded that they should
bring their youngest brother Benjamin,
whom they had left with their father, as
proof that they were true men, leaving
Simeon with him until their return.
The reader is familiar with the remainder
of the story, all of which was faithfully de-
picted by the pupils, showing that God al
ways has His servant chosen and ready to
act as a deliverer of His people in time of
stress.

l. Mr.. Tracey and Mr.. Alexander i'm
terrogated each other regarding cases
sent to the supreme court in the
state since 1912.
Mr.. Writers of st. Johnsbury
favored the passage of the bill. He
said that if any such things as the
gentleman from Johnson had init
mated had ever taken place in the
courts of Vermont, the judge would
have said to the offending attorney:
aYou are fined 500, and you can
go to jail and stay there until it is
paid" ,ss
Such action could and would be
taken by a judge, maintained Mr.

IN arguing case against the instruc-
tons Of the presiding judge, woulG
be nothing les than contempt OF

Mr.. Writers read the opinion oi

the opinion tending to show that the
supreme court thought the law ot
1912 in regard to criminal cases OPP
posed 'to the common law, and there

maintained that the hands of the
supreme court had been tied in this
case by the legislature Of 1912. He
closed his remarks with an appeal
to the legislature touphold the com
mon law and the principles for which
our nation has always stood by pass
ing this bill and its companion bill.
At this point, Mr.. Clark of Addison
moved that debate cease, but the
motion was lost by vote of Ill TO

Mr.. Buttles of Brandon ably pre-
sented the side of the opposition to
the bin. He maintained that there
should be but one trial, but that that
