INTRODUCTION.

Three things were necessary to get
the Israelites out of Egypt:
1st. The people themselves must
reach such desperation as to be ready
to dare much for freedom. The OPP
preston of their rulers recited in last
weeks lesson was gradually accom-
plishing this result.
End. There must be a competent
leader. Today's lesson reveals the
chosen instrument for that purpose.
3rd. Pharaoh's power must be brok-
en-. The ten plaques sent for that
purpose are narrated in chapters 7-10
and form some of the most dramatic
scenes in the Bible.
MOSES LEAVES COURT.
Moses is called the "meekest" of
men, but he was MOI always so. Fired
with indignation against the Egyp-
tians' taskmaster for shifting a brother
Hebrew he slew him and buried him
in the sand. Learning of this Pharaoh
sought to Stay Moses. This caused
him to flee across the Arabian desert
to indian, along the eastern branch
of the Red Sea. Here he defended
the seven daughters of Jethro against
the rudeness of certain shepherds, and
afterwards married Zipporah, one of
the seven shepherdesses he had so
CALAMITY helped.
WILDERNESS TRAINING.
Stephen in his great speech before
the council summarizes the life of
Moses in Egypt by saying he was in
structed in all the wisdom of the
Egyptians; and was mighty in words
and works. Acts 1922. But Moses
needed training in a type of life and
environment different from the court
of Egypt. In the wilderness he would
become acquainted with the geography
of the country, with it's water supply
and of every kind, thus
equipping him to guide his race to the
safe shelter and predestined scene of
their long encampment.
THE BURNING BUSH.
The burning bush that was not con-
sumed was the symbol of Gods pres
ence. Adam, Abraham, Jacob and
Moses all saw" God, not as one mans
eyes see another mans face, but as
one mans mind sees another mans
spirit. So God the invisible revealed
himself to Moses in a flame of fire, a
fitting manifestation, as among the
Hebrews and ancient nations, fire al
considered a very significant emblem
of Deity.
THE CALL.
Moses was called like David from
feeding sheep to shepherd a great
people. When God wants a worker he
calls a busy man. He never goes to
the idle or indolent when he needs
men for service.
Scripture and history attest this
truth: Moses was busy with his 1ocks
at Horeb. Gideon was busy thresh-
ing out by the wine press. Sol was
busy searching for his fathers lost
beasts. David was busy caring for his
fathers sheep. Elisha was busy plow-
ing with twelve yoke of oxen Peter
and Andrew were busy casting a net
into the sea. James and John were
busy mending their nets. Matthew
was busy collecting customs. William
Carey was busy mending and making
shoes."-The American Church S. S.
Magazine.
Faithfulness in the common places
of life developes and demonstrates fit
ness for larger tasks.
Assuring Moses hat he had surely
seen the affiction of his people and
had heard their cry, and knew their
sorrows, and that he had come down
to deliver them out of the hands of
the Egyptians and to bring them out

sell 1t, or make it over to some other

vote on it, what to do with it and by
that vote will we know what to do.
Get up a circular to hold a vote at

Warn German Girls Against
Mixing With Americans

By, The Associated Presssz
WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN GERMANY, July 2I-Posters
written in German and warning Ger
man girls against associating with
Americans appeared recently in sew
eral public places in Coblenz and other
towns on the Rhine, the girls being
urged to refrain from making the ac-
quaintance of soldiers regardless of
the fact that the treaty of peace has
been signed. At various times posters
have been put up threatening indis-
cret societies have been formed for
kind or another.
American officers who have investi-
gated say the Germans are determined
that girls who associate with the sol
diers shall have their names known
to the population and that several Sc
crett societies have been formed for
that purpose, Intelligence officers say
that on several occasions the names
of girls who are on the records of the
German police for associating with
Americans have been read to the con-
gregations at Sunday morning church
services. In other villages the prac-
tice of posting the girls names in pub
lie places was inaugurated some time
ago.
The officers assert that blacklists
of the girls names have been prepar-
ed and are being kept for future use,
after the Americans are gone.

To- SPEED UP
TREATY ACTION
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee Has Stormy Session
MAY FORCE A VOTE IN SENATE
Reading of Sections In Dispute
and Matter of Amendments
Begins Tomorrow
BIZ The Associated Press.
Wy CNuTTAyD"NAr

Z WASHINGTON, August 13-At a
stormy session today the Senate For
eign Relations Committee agreed to
expedite consideration of the Peace
Treaty Re-reading of the disputed
sections and the consideration of pos
sible amendment will begin tomor-
row.
Senator Hitchcock, Nebraska, rank
ing Democrat of the committee, was
understood to have told the commit
tee that unless there was early action
an attempt might be made to force a
vote on the treaty in the Senate.
The Foreign Relations Committee
held yesterday what Is expected to
be its last session. 1t has apparently
treaty and is going to rush 1t back
to the Senate, drafted to suit itself.
Republicans of the Senate are ready
for the onslaught as soon as the re-
port comes out of committee and
predict so many vital amendments
that the treaty necessarily will have
to go back to the Peace Conference.
The Shantung provision will be the
object of the general attack +, an
the Conference having been prepared
The Root amendments have been in
corporated in the treaty in its new
form.
The aims of the Republicans TO
overthrow in a day what the Peace
Conference worked on for weeks
were clearly stated by Senator Lodge.
He said:
"I think we will get no further in
formation and might as well take up
the detailed consideration of the
treaty in the senate. We have the
votes here to adopt the four Root
reservations and to put through the
amendment relating to Shantung.
That cannot be done by a reserva-
ton: it must be an amendment which
will carry the treaty back to the
Peace Congress. There are votes in
the senate to adopt it so the treaty
can be set down as certain to go
back to Paris.
II am prepared to go as far as our
majority will allow us to go.
First we will make the treaty
safe for America by adopting these
amendments and the Shantung reser-
vation. But that does not bind any
body to any course after the treaty
leaves the committee. Anybody will
be free to offer an amendment or
reservation he chooses. To vote
against the Shantung amendment
will be a mighty hard thing for any
man to explain Safterward."
