and without flight That is Gods way, and it must be ours if we are to sue ceed in our great enterprise. some mln- isterS want to make great record m the first year of their service in a field They want to stir up things, create great hurrah and make a big show. They put on high pressure and give the in- pression that something must be done quick, and that something have learned usually means anything by way Of change and superficial gains.
 q believe in the slower way of growth and development from within the way God has revealed in His ways. 'Ye shall not go by flight, nor by haste, for tho Lord will go before you When We go ahead this way we will hold our ground. Victory is sure to those who keep step and keep time with the loving God.
 'But ,o me the best promsesbf is this The God of Israel will be thy rear-ward.' That is the reassuring promise of this great text.
 Most of us are afraid to advance just because we know only too well what lies behind us, We have a past we are none too proud of. We have low, selfish aims and ambitions that are constantly fight ing for the upper hand in the rule of our lives. There is an animal streak in us that snarls and growls when the spiritual man of high ideals says. will arise and go to my Father.
 Inere IS also satan III us that n0ckS our high moods and reminds us of our weakness. Yes, our worst enemies are not ahead of us; they gre behind. We are children of an evolving race that have been a long, long time in the dark and are just beginning to see the light Those forces in our past will smite us if we dare to advance. Who will protect us? God says I will be your rear-ground.'
 Tt is in the rear ranks, too that de- sertions come. The traitors who grow cold-hearted lag behind and are found ir the rear. They lose interest in the cause, cease to care who wins and think only of their own miserable safety. In every one of us there are towards and traitors in the ranks of our soul. We grow tired, we begin to look back and hold secret intercourse with the enemy and to pity ourselves. Then we need God to protect us from our own weak moments and to kill the cowardly trail tors in our souls.
 Let us have the faith and the courage to go forward at the call of God The way is open and the day of march has come. You shall not go in haste, neither shall ye go by flight; for the Lord will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rear-ward' {"

 Dr. Edmonds stated that the crisis in fChrist's career was passed whenS Peter said to his Master, Thou are the Christ" :" "A leader had been discovered" said the speaker, "and then Jesus gathered around Him the twelve apostles and gave to them his heart, thus leaving all the ma- lchinery and organization necessary for the full establishment of His Church..

Peter Rabbit BIesses OId Mr. Chuck
By THORNTON W. BURGESS We never know, we must confess, Who some day we'll have cause to bless.

"As sure as you're alive now, Peter Rabbit some day I will catch you. sRarled Reddy Fox as he poked his black nose into the hole between the roots of the Big Hickory Tree. 'Its lucky for you that you were not one jump further away from this hole.r
 Peter Rabbit, safe inside that hole, didn't have a word to say, or If he did he didn't have breath enough to say it. It was quite true if he had been one jump further from that hole Reddy Fox would have caught him. As it was, the hairs of Peters funny short white tail had actually tickled Reddy' s black nose as Peter frantically plunged through the root bound entrance to that hole.
 It was the narrowest escape Peter had had for a long, long time. You see he had been so busy nibbling sweet clover on the bank of the Smiling Pool, and enjoying it so much, that he had forgotten to watch out. So Reddy Fox had been able to creep almost up to him before Peter even suspected that Reddy was anywhere about It had been a dreadful surprise. And it was lucky. very, very lucky for Peter that that hole, dug long, long ago by Johnny Chuck's grandfather was right where it was. Also 1t was a lucky thing that old Mir Chuck had had the good sense to make the entrance between the roots of the tree in such 8 way that 1t could not be dug any larger.
 Reddy Fox was too shrewd to waste any time trying to dig it larger. He knew that he couldn't possibly squeeze in between those roots and that Peter was perfectly safe. So, after trying to make Peter as uncomfortable as possible and to scare him by telling him what was bound to happen to him some day, Reddy trotted off across the Green MeadoSys.
 But Peter didn't mind Reddy's dread full threats in the least He was used to them. He couldn't remember a time when Reddy Fox hadn't been watching for a chance to catch him. and he had heard those dreadful threats SD often that now they simply went in one long ear and out the other. In fact now that he was safe, he rather enjoyed the excitement.
 Grandfather Chuck certainly has my blessing" muttered Peter. talking to himself, because there was no one else to talk to. "He certainly has. ] owe him my life sths time. I always did think a lot of the Chuck family, but never so much as right now. It is queer how often people are of help to others and never know anything

The new electrical lumber piling

With this device in operation, 1t is
not necessary for the pliers to strain
themselves in lifting the heavy
boards. They are simply unloaded
from the carts and placed on the
spike shelves, which operate on an
endless chain continuance, thus car
rying the boards to the top of the
pile where they are taken up by
the men at the top.
