THE GREAT NEED.
Out of the shade and greenery of
Egypt's lowlands these marchers
passed jubilantly across the sea and
shouted and sang as they began their
Journey to their land of promise. But
in the oven heat and shifting sand into
which their feet sunk as they stepped
WEAKNESS soon took complete posses
sion of them. Hot, tired and thirsty,
they reached Marah and flung down
their packs for drink. bah! It's
bitter!" cried the earliest arrival, and
encouragement settled like pail
over their spirits. The couple of hours
farther to Elm and its shade and
cooling wells was worse than days
march. Then on they went into the
desert Of Sin with its verdureless
plains, its brazen sky, its furnace
heat, its glaring sunshine, its storms
in which "sheets of sand feet along
the desert like streams of water. The
whole air is filled, tho invisibly, with
a tempest of sand driving in your face
like sleet. Everything is lost to view
save the nearest objects. The noise
of these storms is peculiar it screams
and bowls like demons led by the
prince of the power of the air. Hence
the force of Moses description, a
bowling Wilderness And these
slaves who had covered under the
lash thru most of their days ''mur-
INJURED" over these conditions. Well,
I've heard Americans complain about
the weather both winter and summer
and be well-fed and in paradise COM
pared with these hungry immigrants
in utterly strange circumstances. And
they were hungry. All the provisions
were being exhausted, fiocks and
herds could not be used up without
peril and the picnic venture for lib
,arty had changed to a struggle for
bare existence with no Land of Prom
Use for long years yet. They were dis
illusioned, dispirited, hungry, thirsty,
dirty, tired and sand in their sandals
try it and see if the Government"
doesn't come in for kicks.
What did they need? About every
thing material. But their greatest
was the making of an indomitable
spirit that could face its hardships
with good cheer, that could find God
in the midst of privation and rejoice
in working with Him toward a larger
good Gods land demands Gods men.
His chef concern is character instead
of condition. The long fight of Is
rael was against the notion that pros
perity was the sole evidence of Gods
approval and even our President
calmly informed the nation that Am
erica's boundless wealth is proof of
her goodness. To be able to fail, to
suffer, to go to the cross for God and
keep sweet in the doing it is to need
no land of primise ahead it is already
to possess it.

brush aside race with wave of the
hand or close the case with Hebrew
doing business in the next street. He
evidently lived thru that wilderness
and being human he had to eat. And
God furnished bread.
But God never pauperizes. The gift
was there, but the man must gather
it or go hungry. If he chose to sleep
till noon he could fast the next day.
1t was perfectly simple arrange
ment. There were neither idle rich
nor idle poor in the democracy of la
Dor. Nor was one man permitted to
corner" the supply and exact toll
for the doing of it. Nor could he
hoard it by piling up reserves because
the attempt brought polluted wealth.
And there was dhe leisure sufficient
for the largest enjoyment of it; the
seventh day was a rest and worship
day, emphasizing the fact that one
can not live by bread alone even if it
is the corn of heaven. God wants
neither a splendid animal with an
emaciatel soul nor an ascetic angel
whose soul has no body that it can
use. A man mumbled out an excuse
for his dishonesty and included the
phrase, "a man has to live" "No,
he doesn't have to live" flashed back
the answer, "but he does have to be
honest; I'd starve before I'd be a
thief" For man to spend all his
time fattening up his body is to give
his soul a wooden leg instead of
wing.
THE GREAT GOD.
Back of every other idea of these
glowing pages is the presence of God.
Moses was but His messenger able to
tap resources. unseen of others be-
cause of his seeing the invisible"
God furnished every needed thing,
even in the wilderness. He is equal
to any need of any desert. "They are
at their wits end" sings the Psalm
list. Then and the desired ha-
ven. There's bread enough in the
granny of God to supply the world.
There's resources enough with Him to
meet every emergency of any and all
lives. He who fed five thousand in
desert place said also, Il am the bread
of life," and God who gave US Christ
will not withhold any good thing,
whether the desert be one of our own
sin, of sorrow. suffering, defeat, dis
appointment or any other, even death
itself.

THE GREAT LEADER.

God meets our need supreme thru
some human leader. And the more
one becomes acquainted with Moses
the higher he towers above the ordi-
nary folk. He kept these murmuring
men marching. They were held face
to face with the hardships and carried
forward. Like our doughboys who
were always hungry, always broke
and no matter where they were wish
ed they were somewhere else," and
still advanced, so these complainers
crossed the desert and climbed the
rugged Businesses. They threatened
to stone him but followed him. They
talked Egypt and followed him away
from it. In the hour of their bitterest
disappointments he found way to
sweeten the waters of their Marah.
He could find water in abundance in
the midst of the dusty desert and
could produce food where there had
been starvation. He worked them;
he commanded them; he organized
them; he wrote laws for them; he fed
them; he gave them drink; he made
God real to them in a way they had
never known in all their days and it is
small wonder that he is the outstand-
ing figure of their history. They were
made into a nation thru his persis-
tent determination that they should
become fit for citizenship in their
dream empire. To accomplish half
what he did with them would have
marked him an outstanding figure.
God gives US our first bit of spiritual
manhood thru some man or woman
who has dominated our hearts. 1t
was teacher who set Beecher toward
his life goal; it was a mother who
made Mckinley; it was Moody who
stirred Grenfell; it is Christ who
has made Christendom. Give God our
best manhood and there is no setting
limits to what will follow.
THE GREAT SUPPLY.
God fed them. How it was done,
no man may say. They faced forty
years of pitiless wilderness and
emerged fit to contend with the walled
cities of Palestine. Some say it was
the mama" known today exuding
from the tamarisk tree. Some say it
never happened. Some say it is po-
etry for preservation. Whatever one
may say, Israel lived and gave God
4he credit. One can not very well
