1t is not always easy to make our

serve Christ as we ought to serve
Him unless we unite with some church
where we can carry out the teachings
of His word.
Joshua gave the influence of his
example, when he announced his
decision to serve Jehovah. 1t moved
the people to- that extent that they
decided to serve Him and renew their
covenant. The aged leader was not

Joshua's searching test of their pro-
fession of faith resulted in the re-
newal Of their covenant with Jehovah
In a solemn manner. Their oral
testimony of allegiance was confirmed
by a written record of their transac-

verbal pledge. but have lacked the
courage to sign up for Christ and His
Church. A public promise, II made In

Of their covenant was filed with the
law to impress them with It's binding
and lasting Importance.

this fact ought to have helped them
to keep their promise. Every promise

The memorial, erected that day Of
the covenant that the people had
made OF their own accord, has long

their stand for God that day has
called upon men throughout the cen
