Then began the battle of the gods
in which Jehovah was pitted against
all the Deities of Egypt. For long
months the struggle lasted until that
last blow of sweeping pestilence that
left death in every house and raised
a great cry for the immediate going
of these slaves for whom God fought.
SO Moses led them toward the desert,
but the Notifications must be passed
and the way he took would flank them
though water interviewed. But Egypt
missed the girl in the kitchen and the
man in the mill, and there was a de-
mand that they be forced to return
to work. Every agency of the govern
ment was invoked and Israel with sea
in front and army behind was panic
stricken and Moses lay prone in pray
er. Then came the answer in the wind
that cleared the flats of water and
permitted the fleeing slaves to cross,
but the chariots rushing after them
were swiftly mired and the return of
the waters covered them before they
could escape. God is an artist" said
Bishop McIntire. THE sea is the most
selfish thing there is, for in it parents
eat their own offspring. Egypt was
the most selfish of the nations, and
God cast her pride into the midst of
the sea-" And Israel sang upon the
shore and never lost her thrill at the
deliverance God had brought her.
THE LIBERTY ROAD
To be free from letters is not a
guarantee of ones liberty. It has been
about as long since we loosed the ne
gro as it was between the Red Sea
and the Jordan and he has not yet
achieved full liberty. For liberty is
an achievement and not a conferment.
These earlier slaves were not yet fit
for statehood and the greatest work
Of Moses after all was in the slow,
patient years of guidance and train
ing in the wilderness that made them
fit to enter their land of promise.
Against incredible difficulties he toll
ed, facing ingratitude and discomfort
with the privations, until an entire
generation had passed and another
had caught something of his own
vision of God and His world. He
built up moral standards that are the
model for our own times. He estab-
hshed a legal code and judicial pro-
cedure in that day of blood revenge
that has lived until now. He set up
the foundations of constitutional gov
ernment in that far-ofr day Of mill
tary autocracy and started democracy
upon its long march. He put in the
Book the first law for the protection
Of workers that the world ever knew.
Then failingto enter hisland Of prom-
Use, he climber Nebo that he might
catch a glimpse Of what he had
dreamed for others and there died
By the kiss Of God"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1923-04-19

into it for himself. Back in the slave
hut of which Miriam was now the
chief care-taker he faced the cOndi-
tons of oppression until his anger
famed in murder and he fled for his
life to the wilderness. Direct ac-
ton" "radicaism," force is never the
road to constructive reform. Saints
do not grow from sins seeds. Holt
ness is not raised on hell.
THE CALLED MAN
Forty years among the sheep
changed the complexion of affairs in
Egypt and the world. The great sill
ences of Sinai became a voice to the
shepherd who walked the defiles and
searched out the routes among the
crags. His mind mellowed and matur-
ed until he had like Paul thought his
way thru the jungles of his confusion
to the place where a path appeared
thru ife's perpleXities and he
was ready to hear the speech of his
partner of all the years. His feeling
of sympathy for his race and for the
oppressed was as warm as ever but
his ears were no longer filled with the
din of his own wrath nor his eyes
dimed by impotent anger. The crude
ore of his mind had been changed to
cold steel that was keen as a Damas-
Gus blade and the flame of his pas
sionate devotion to human rights still
blazed hot but it was now torch
instead of a conhagration. He had
learned to speak few words but each
one weighed ton. In this day of
much talk and men being led astray
by full mouth instead of full brain
the choice of such a man ought at
least to cause one to study the rela-
tive worth of the two. God never
meant men to be wind-mills moved
only by air. When Moses was ready
to hear God was waiting to speak
The tragedy of all the centuries has
been that the din of time has hushed
the word of the Eternal. God meant
the world to be much farther on than
it is but we have failed to hear His
speech and see His flaming bush.
Moses did both and turned again to-
ward the task that he had hopefully
attempted years earlier but with less
skill. Who knows what might have
happened to the enslaved race if he
had known as much then as now?
For the chief need for any advance
is leadership.
THE SAVED PEOPLE
Once more Moses stood among his
own people and instead of offering
himself as leader as he had done be
fore he now told them that Jehovah
would guide them. Self-confdence
had been replaced by God-confdence
and it was an entirely new attitude
which brought reader acceptance.
