'The Word of Our God Shall Stand Forever"

The Book of Numbers opens with
the enumeration of the Children OF
Israel, and is both chronicle of his
torical events and a depository OF
certain precepts and sundry laws gov
erning inheritance. Among the inter
esting matters dealt with in this book
are the cities of refuge, when a man
might flee from the avenger of blood
and be safe until his actual status OF
innocence or guilt could be deter.
mined.
In Deuteronomy, otherwise known
as The Second Law, from the two
Greek words of which the name is
formed, rehearses the history of the
Hebrew people from the time they
left Horeb. 1t also repeats, empha.
sizes and occasionally modifies pre-.
cepts before delivered.
The generation of Israel that haG
crossed the Red Sea nearly forty
years earlier were now dead. Hence
it was important that the law should
be repeated and expounded to the
new generation before they entered
the Land of Promise.
The key thought of this final book
of the Pentateuch is "The divine re-
quirement of obedience" In these
days when men seem to regard SC
lightly both divine and human laws
we shall do we'll to recall that the
word remember is repeated again and
again. The people are urged to re.
member the giving of the law, the
covenant, their past slavery, the great
deliverance, the Divine leadership and
supplies, the sins of the past, the Di-
vine judgments, the ancient days. The
great commandment of this book is
