NOTES ON THE TEXT

Verse 6. The Lord had said TO Mos,
that none of those who had murmored
against Him when the spies gave their
report of Canaan, from twenty years
old and upward, should enter the Pro
missed Land except Caleb and Joshua.
Verse 7. Caleb was a man Of stand
ing among the people When the Lord
told Moses to send men to search out
the land of Canaan, he instructed him
to select men, every one a ruler a.
mong them" Caleb had achieved a
place that made his selection a suit
able one for so great an undertaking,
one that carried with it both danger
and responsibility.
Verse 8. When the spies returned
from the land Of Canaan and made
their report they all agreed that it
was a desirable land, flowing with
milk and honey" But ten of them de-
Jared that it was beyond their power
to conquer it.
Verse 9. Caleb boldly declares: Let
us 60 up at once, and possess it" for we
are we'll able to overcome it. Joshua
Joins with Caleb a-ainst the ten, and
there they stand as heroic a scene as
the annals of Jewish history.
Verses 10-11. Joshua is now IS
years old, he is almost ripe in age and
deeds, but he is telling the people that
he feels strong and well able to possess
the land.
Verses 1918. Caleb asked for Mount
Hebron. In his own words now there
fore give me this mountain, whereof
the Lord spake in that day, for thou
heardest in that day how the Anakins
(giants) were there and that the cities
were great and fenced; if so be the
Lord will be with me, then l shall be
able to drive them out, as the Lord
said"
Verse IA. Let us see just what it
was that Caleb was asking for: it was
a mountainous region, not one of the
fertile valleys; it was inhabited by
Anakins a warlike race whose men
were of unusually large stature, and
hey had not yet Leen driven from the
land and not the cities were strong and
well fortified Caleb was not asking for
the lest inheritance in the Promised
Land he was asking for the hardest

CALEB'S CONFIDENCE IN GOD
By r. W. Young

Josh. 14:6-14)
GOLDEN TEXT Blessed in the man
that maketh the Lord his trust. (Ps.
40:D Truly great is the nan who is
prepared to face danger and bear
heavy responsibility in the interest Of
the people. Cab was such a man.
1t takes moral courage of the high
degree for a man to stand with the
minority for the right, unafraid and
unashamed. Caleb has such courage.
How hard it is to be patient, Through
the forty years Of wandering in the de-
sert Caleb neither murmored nor COM
planned. He had confidence in God.
One of the nobelest of all virtues is
unselishness. The example of Caleb
inspires and encourages us. The world
needs today some optimistic men whose
hope is based upon confidence in Cod.

perhaps than that of any other city In the New
World. The early Spanish conquistadors discov-
cred the harbor and decided to establish a city
there, through which the Spanish fleet might
maintain contact with the rich New World over
which their dominion was rapidly becoming es-
tablished. But the native Indians thought other.
wise, and II was only with the greatest difficulty
that they were subdued. On January 81, 1893,
the first stone of the new city was laid by Pedro
de Heredia In the name of Spain. Thereupon, its
fortresses and towers rose quickly. at a reported
expense Of S80.000,O00 and thousands upon thou
sands of lives. perhaps the ~costliest city In men
and money since the building of Rome or Athens.

to hold the city against all Corners was not with

Of discovery, fortified and fortified nightly.
Like Carthage OF old, Cartagena withst0od
many a mighty siege and was the site of the
greatest battles of those times. And like Garth
age of old, Cartagena fell before invading con-
querors. The most famous assault of all has an
indirect but picturesque connection with Unit
ed States history and with one of Uncle Sans
own most precious of national shrines.
In the 1740s a British feet stormed Cartagena
under command of Admiral Vernon. 1t was one
OF the most stupendous and enduring sieges of
the military history of that day. The final stages
Of the siege found the would-be invaders under
command of one Capt Lawrence Washington.
Upon Captain WashIngton's return to Virginia In
i742. he found a new house awaiting him. the
central portion of the present mansion, and he
gave II the name of Mount Vernon In honor Of
the admiral under whom he sailed for Cartagena.
Upon his death, the property became that Of
George Washington. his half-brother.
During the period 1914 to 1916. Cartagena
was attacked eight times. By pirates and buc
