"And the people thirsted" for the
daily mama was not enough-they
must have water. Needy, yes, con-
stantly needy are Gods children.
Every life knows the bite OF ne
cessity every soul cries out
in pain because there is wanting
some completing favor, some cul-
minating and all-contenting bene-
diction. Here it is bread; there 1t IS
water; but everywhere a famine
in many a case a famine OF
soul, spiritual restitution, a con-
seriousness Of a void which time
cannot satisfy or space content.
God always provides. There IS
a rock in the wilderness. But what
pleasure does a murmuring people
find in a rock when they famish for
water? 1t is Gods delightful custom
to meet our needs in unexpected
ways and by means which we DO
not understand. Even our physical
necessities come from ulthousi4t u
sources.
III. The Bread and the Water Of
Life.
Let us make certain that we do
not miss the spiritual truth OF our
lesson which is revealed by Scrip
ture itself. Paul speaks in Corinth-
ians 1O:I-4 of this very incident In
the experience of Israel. and says
that they did all eat the same
spiritual meat and did all drink
the same spiritual drink; for they
drank of that spiritual Rock that
followed them: and that Rock was
Christ" See also John 4:l4.
Hungry and thirsty soul, you VINO
are still unsatisfed after tasting all
that life apart from Christ has to
offer. will you not. just now, take
him who is the living bread, and
come to the Rock which flows with
living water?

When Washington County
Was Young
PART "a
BIZ
GEORGE T. PRATHER
Written exclusively for The Hagerstown Globe

HARI "A
BY early summer of 1858 the
settlers had determined upon
their line of action. They knew
that the source of their Indian
trouble was at Fort Duquesne and
that their own numbers and re-
sources were entirely inadequate
to the task of reducing that place.
Under their own brave and vigil
land leaders they could hold the
Indian at bay but could make no
advance. At length, through per
suasion and the no small influ-
ence of some of our prominent
settlers and land owners, and the
very apparent advantage of the
move, a second campaign against
Fort Duquesne, authority for
which was secured through the
influence of William Pitt, the
English Prime MinisteE. whose
ear had been reached by the so
licitations Of the people of West
ern Maryland, was decided upon.
The settlers had very little con-
fidence in the efficacy of the Brit
ish troops or their commanders
against Indians in war. Many of
them had been with Braddock on
the former disastrous campaign.
They knew that if the resources
of that army had been placed I'M
der the command of Washington,
without a doubt the fort would
have been captured and all the
harm which their enemies had
inflicted upon their settlement
would have been avoided. The
loss of the lives of their friends
and neighbors and the destruc-
ton of their property through In
dian raids had made them bitter,
and there was nothing that they
would not do to get relief from
such a menace. The only help
they expected from the British
campaign was the resources of
the army. The munitions, provi-
sions and wagons would be very
useful to them for their support
and transportation to the scene
of operations. General Forbes
The Hagerstown globe. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1936-1943, 1937-08-06

was an Englishman and Just as
inexperienced in fighting Indians
as was General Braddock. To
make matters worse, Forbes was
taken i'll at the beginning of the
campaign and the conduct of the
army was left to subordinate of
ficers. These men carried out
the details of the campaign in
English fashion.
About 165 men were recruited
in what is now Washington Coun-
ty, originating mainly in the
North Mountain Settlement. Col.
Thomas Prather was in command
of the detachment. Associated
with him equal in command were
Colonies Cresap, Shelby and
Chapline. All the prominent men
of the section were along with
the army, because it had become
the one consuming object of the
people to do their utmost to de-
stroy the source of the Indian
raids which had harassed them
so much. There were associated
with them about 100 good men
from Frederick county. The plan
for independent action must have
been laid before leaving their
homes. This was to be the time
when victory was to be secure,
and nothing was left undone to
make that victory certain. They
knew that the Indians must be
beaten, and that could only be
done by fighting Indian fashion.
1t is said that the frontier sol
diers each carried secret pack
of ammunition in addition to that
issued to them by their English
officers, and a secret bundle of
dried meat. SO that when the
time of their detection arrived
they could subsist and fight
doubly as long as the English and
Indians expected they could.
The Indian knew about how
many shots frontier soldier
could fire before his ammunition
would be exhausted. When the
Marylanders had fired their al
loted number, the Indians, think
ings that they should by that
time, be out of ammunition, reck-
lessly exposed themselves, think
ing that the Colonials would
make the same mistake over
again which they made under
Braddock. Instead of slackening
their fire, as the Indians expected
the fronttersmen continued and
even increased their fire, using
their reserve ammunition. By
the time the Indians were able
to regain their cover, so many of
them had been slain that the
spirit of fight was out of them
and they fled in retreat. The In
dams then retreated down the
Ohio River, leaving their French
allies thus weakened to hold the
fort. General Forbes army was
easily able to subdue the French
and capture the Fort. The Mary
land men were SO efficient in this
last phase of the battle with the
Indians that only a few lost their
lives.

Israel, led by God, is on a jour
ney to the promised land. But to
reach their goal they must pass
through the wilderness. Not only
are there weary miles to travel
out there are privations to be en-
dured. Life is like that.
People may be strong and hope
full at the beginning Of a project,
and most effusively and devoutly
thankful at its close, but the diff
Guilty is to go manfully through the
process. Israel was in the desert,
and never were spoiled children
more peevish, suspicious, and al
together ill-behaved. If they could
have stepped out Of Egypt into Ca
man at once, probably they would
have been as pious as most of US;
but there was the weary interval,
the inhospitable wilderness! So II
is in our life. Accept it as a solemn
and instructive fact that life is q
process more than a beginning
and an ending" (Joseph Parker).
Note how elemental are mans
needs in the final analysis-bread
and water. The very things we take
almost for granted as we concern
ourselves with LIES weighty inter-
ests and profound problems become,
if lacking, the only things that have
any real meaning. And who is II
that can provide them? No one but
God Himself.
I. Bread from Heaven. (Exod.
16:11-2O).
Observe first of all that this was
divine provision. There are re-
sponsibilities in life which we may
bear-and must bear, but in the
ultimate meeting of our real needs
we must look to God.
Secondly, we note that it was a
daily provision. What forehanded
folk many of us are, and no doubt
rightly so, for God puts no premium
on improvidence. But once again
we must recognize, as did Israel in
receiving the daily mama in the
wilderness that ours is indeed a
moment by moment existence. We
plan bravely for the next decade or
he next generation, but as a mattss
uf fact 1t can only come to pass
II the Lord will" Read James
ElS-17.
Finally, It was a limited pro
Nsion-enough for the day and no
more, except for a double portion
On the sixth day, and none at all
On the Sabbath. These provisions
were made clear to Israel, and YET
there were those who attempted to
lay up for the morrow, and some
even went out to seek mama on the
Sabbath day.
We marvel at their stubborn OBJ
saseness, but are we not often just
IKE them. Some there are who are
always expecting that the laws Of
Doth God and man should be set
aisde for them, but, mark it well,
mey ultimately come TO grief. The
spiritual application is obvious, and
most serious. God has provided a
way Of redemption. and has made
clear how man should and must
relate himself to It. Folly it is to
Ignore Gods plan, and vaguely and
Wlshfully think that there is some
other way.

SUGAR IMPORT
RESTRICTIONS
DOUBTED

National policy eventually may
make it desirable to lift all restric'
tions on sugar imports, Secretary
of State Hull told the House Agri-
culture Committee today in vigor-
ously opposing any reduction in
the quotas on Cuban-refined sugar
Present quotas, Hull said, should
be maintained status quo.
The committee is holding hearings
on proposed legislation to replace
the -Costigan quota act,
which expires at the end Of this
year. 1t has been proposed to
slash the quota from Cuba by
100000 tons.
Urges Status Quo
In lengthy argument, Hull con
Guided by saying:
81 urge the committee in all
earnestness that it maintain the
status quo on the question Of
entry Of Cuban refined sugar,
pending a later denomination
of this whole matter in terms

The Secretary of State expressed
the fear that if Cuba were penal.
lied by reduction of its quotas
it might mean ruin and bank,

Certainly there is no warrant
for a reduction in the amount
of direct consumption sugar al

ing through slightly crunching snow
along the docks. The seagulls rest
ed on the water with wings folded
and heads pulled in, bodies rising
and falling carelessly on the little
chop set up by a cool channel wind.
The clark green Of the bay left
off sharply on the Douglas side
where the silvered tree curtains
brushed the beach. But there was
one busy scene on that quiet stage
three men fishing at the Cold Stor-
/, age dock.
They were catching halibut-small
chicken halibut, of ten or fifteen
pounds weight. There were three
freshly bleeding fish lying in Grim
son stained bed of snow There were
two burlap bags that looked as
though they might have fish within
their folds. 1t all looked profitable.
Then there was the deep sea crab
"a spider crab with arms IA inches
long, which one of the men caught
on fishing line.
One man fished from a snow
trimmed little halibuter, jigging the
bait up and down, hauling vicious
ly when he hooked a fish. Another
man, brown boots pulled high on
his thighs, mackinaw pinned close
to his thin frame, beat his black |
mittened hands and watched for
tell-tale jerks on three different |
fishing lines tied to studding and [
bolts at the edge of the dock. i,
The third man was the focal point |
of that scene. His thin neck rose
abruptly from the hollow depths OF
spare shoulders on which hung a
sweeping black oilskin cape with
brass snap-buttons.
His face was leathery, deep
scanned, coated with the stiff briStleS
of yesterdays shaving procrastina-
ton, and in the notch of the "V'
made by the diverging angles of his
jaw, a thin ridged nose balanced
a pair of gold trimmed glasses = the
whole geometrically set off by a
black and wavy-edged oilskin hat.
Through his glasses could be seen
the sharp CLINT of vigilant eyes on :

-hud of his booted red feet as he
walked from line to line, rustling in j
1is oilskins, there could be heard

CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Shrinking

You remember the worm was
keeping an acorn for the Woods
Fairy and the sailor wanted it be-
cause it was magic acorn that
would shrink the squirrel who had
grown big as bear
After the sailor and the earth
worm had talked for some time the
sailor said, Il understand you make
some very fine underground tun-
nels."
well, some say 1 do" said the
earthworm. would you like to see
them?"
Have you any big enough for
me?" asked the sailor
Eyes, some of the older ones have
been used so much they've become
quite big" said the worm. Follow
me-"
He slid out of his home in the fir
tree and down into the ground, the
sailor following.
And that's when the sailor played
a trick
Bigger and Bigger
AS the earthWorm slid through
his twisting tunnels ahead of the
sailor the sailor just stuck his head
into the entrance and kept talking.
The farther the worm went the
louder the sailor talked so the worm
hought he was following right be-
hind. When the worm was out of
sight the sailor dashed into the fir
tree, snatched the acorn and ran
back to the village of squirrels.
When he arrived he found the
big squirrel still growing bigger,
and his papa and mama and aunts
and uncles and cousins were all
sitting around watching him. BY
that time the squirrel was as big as
an elephant.
Very warm weather." he said
to the sailor.
Not at all" said the sailor. 1--WE
told you once before it looks like
snow. Eat this acorn"
81 don't think So" said the SOUR
rel. Couldn't you make it berry?"
| Smaller and Smaller
Well thought the sailor, "he
gets bigger and sillier.' Quietly, the
sailor slipped out and found a big

branch Of berries to which he tied
the acorn that would shrink the
huge squirrel. Then he said to the
squirrel
IF you won't eat my acorn, will
you eat these berries?"
Certainly" said the squirrel. So
he gulped down the branch, acorn
and all. Suddenly he stopped grow
ing He shrank to the size of
horse. Then he was the size of
little, cinnamon bear. Then he was
the size of a dog, then a kitten, then
a tiny mouse.
Wait a minute" shouted every
body You're going too far"
But before anyone could say any
more that squirrel was only the
size of house-fly. He looked very
sad.
