No one who studies the history of

His hand has nodded our history and

McLaren condemns the invitation
extended to Robab by Moses to go
with them on their journey. He
claims that 1t showed a. discredit Of
Gods leadership to as "Hobab" to be
eyes for them in the desert. Others
have pointed out that supernatural
leadership does not make human
guidance to be unnecessary. In in
viting his brother-in-law to accom-
pany the nation, there is revealed the
longing of Moses for the presence of
this Midianite. who had entered into
his life probably 40 years before, when
the young reformer had fled from
Egypt. He longed for him to march
with them, or he would not have re-
peated the invitation for him to go
along with them on an adventure of
faith.
In response to his repeated invita-.
ton, that pointed out that Hobah

Reports, on Results Of Past
Four Years.

The executive committee of the Fed
Grafton Of Churches met Thursday at
the Franklin Square Hotel The re-
port of Rev. w. l.. Darby. executive
secretary, showed that during the
past four years the net gain in the
number of churches belonging to the
Federation has been 48. The total is
now l06, including the First Brethren
Church. which was admitted at this
meeting. A special vote of thanks
and appreciation was given to DR.. and
Mrs. Darby for the work which they
have done during this time.
Mrs. II. S. Irwin. president of the
womans department., stated that
plans are being made for q program

of all lies. All the sin and suHerlng
on earth, therefore, spring from the
devils lies in the Garden of Eden,
which deceived our first parents ana
led them into rebellion against Goo
In the glorious picture of Heaven. AS
given in the midst of the twenty nrst
cha pter Of the Revelation. the solemn
warning is sounded that transgres-
sors shall not enter into that place
of blessedness and beauty. So it Is
written:
IAN liars shall have their part In
the lake which burneth with fire and
birthstone, which is the second
death" Revelation, xXi.8).
And again in that same chapter II
Is written:
And there shall in no wise enter
into it any thing that defileth, neither
whatsoever worketh abomination, or
maketh a lie; but they which are
written in the Lambs book of life
xxi.2O.
Liars, therefore. are classified with
murderers and all the other abomi-
nable transgressors Of earth. Truth
is the bond of all orderly society, and
the source Of all blessedness. There
fore. the liar at last is the most
execrable of characters. Every
broken contract is simply an acted
lie. Every divorce is the result of a
lie, because 1t means violation of the
sacred marriage vow or contract, by
which a man and woman pledge
and promise to be true one to the
other even until death shall them
part.
The hideous deceit of Iago devel-
oped the dire tragedy Of Othello, and
the ugliness of the lie and it's de-
structive influence has been mani
tested in evil fruitage down all OF
history. from the time when Satan,
the father of lies. lied to and de-
ceived our first parents in the Garden
of Eden to the present age, when the
tearing up of sacred treaties as
scraps of paper" and deceit in dip
lomatic, commercial and economic
affairs. has produced the bitterness
strife and bloodshed of today.

willing to serve Israel. Hobab. who
has been identified as the son of
Jethro and the brother in-law of
Moses, evidently accepted the invita-
ton to serve and share with Israel.
Evidently he recognized the presence
and power Of Jehovah with the ma
ton, left his country and kinfolk. SO
that he could help Moses in his work.
We are all journeying to a better
land and should follow the example
of Moses by inviting our friends and
companions to share the privileges
of serving our Lord and obtaining
the blessings promised to those who
are faithful unto the end There is
no more important service that a
Christian can perform for Christ and
His Church than the invitation of his
personal friends to share with him
the Joys of his faith. but before seek
ing to win them one should invoke
the blessings Of God upon his efforts.
Moses Prayer.
Two closing verses Of the lesson
have peculiar interest. They bring to
us some of the eldest. II not the old
est. poetry of the Old Testament. that
Moses used in invoking the presence
of God and His power against the
enemies of the nation that they were
compelled to face. In these words
we detect a prayer, not only invoking
Gods presence against the enemies
Of the nation, but the presence OF
Jehovah is sought for all times. They
show how Moses and Israel lived in
the presence Of Jehovah continuously
If we practiced His presence more
than We do, then life for us would
be peaceful. glorious and satisfactory
These verses show how closely the
thought of God was associated with
the presence Of the ark. When it
moved, then Jehovah moved. When
it rested, then God rested. This prim
tive religious idea has some real value
that we are apt to neglect. 1t Is
said that I'VE, who profess to be
lieve that God Is everywhere. often
behave as If He were nowhere: II
must have been a help to be able
to believe that there were particular
