(The. International Uniform Lesson
on the above topic for Sept. 19 is
Deuteronomy 1882, 1882, the Golden
Text being Joshua 24:15 Choose you
this day whom we will serve.")
THE BOOK of Deuteronomy is
made up of a series of six farewell ad-
dresses of Moses, delivered to the
children of Israel during a period of
forty days Immediately preceding his
death. Moses final warnings, injunc-
tions and encouragements to the ma
ton are embodied in these farewells,
the second of these, from which our
lesson is taken, is the longest, rum
ming through chapters to %, (
explains the nature of the obedience
God demands, and pronounces the
blessings of obedience and the curses
to follow disobedience.
Blessings of Obedience.
"Therefore$ shall We keep all the
commandments which 1 command
thee this day, that We may be strong,
and go in and possess the land,
whittier we go over to possess it, and
that we may prolong your days in the
land, which Jehovah sware unto your
fathers to give unto them and to their
Seed, a land flowing with milk and
honey" It would be tremendously diff
ficult to drive out the strong and
warlike peoples inhabiting the land.
whose wickednesS was about to be
judged by God in their determination.
By their obedience they would be ac-
ceptai.le as Jehovah's agent, and he
would abundantly bless them in a land
rich in blessings: "a land of hills and
valleys, and drinketh water of the
rain of: heaven, a, land which Jeho-
yah thy God careth for: the eyes of
Jehovah thy God are always upon it,,
from the beginning of the year even
unto the end of the year." In other
words, continued fertility and fruit
fulness require more than natural
causes to explain them. Gods favor
and blessing are not to be crowded
out of consideration. Goodness and
obedience to- Gods law may prove
quite as effective in averting drouth,
dust storms, flood, pestilence and the
like. as do some of our nan-made
schemes for controlling the forces of
nature.
Curse of Disobedience.
"Behold set before you this day a
blessing and a, curse: the blessing if
We shall hearken unto the command
ments of Jehovah. your God, which I
command you this day; and the curse
if We shall not hearken, but turn aside
out of the way 1 command you this
day, to go after other gods, which We
have not known" mot to the strong
is the battle, not tc the swift is the
race, but to the true and the faithful
victory is promised through grace"
Nations rise or fall as they tend to

/ the progress of his kingdom.

My experience covering a pc

these mass meetings serve no
useful purpose, creating real
danger to the cause which we

there will be real danger of in
