Caleb, Lifetime Devotion, Josh"
ua 14:6-15, for Sunday, July 10:
This lesson portrays two stalwart
soldiers of the Lord who had grown
old in his service.
V. 1. 'And Caleb said, Thou
knowest the thing that Jehovah
spake unto Moses the man of God
concerning me and thee in Kadesh-
barnea" Caleb with Joshua were
the two faithful spies who reported
forty years before regarding the
rich fruit of the promised land and
the giants, but with confidence that
they were we'll able to take the
land. Caleb was undaunted because
of the giants and asked that when
the time came he might possess the
land then occupied by these mighty
men which grant was allowed. See
verse nine.
v. Z. 81 brought him word as it
was in my heart" Caleb reported
to Moses out of true and sincere
soul because Of strong faith in
God.
". 8. Nevertheless my brethren
that went up with me made the
heart of the people melt; and l
wholly followed the Lord my God. !"
Ten spies feared the giants and
lacked faith in the power of God
and so reported their findings as to
cause Israel to want to change
leaders, and, of course, change
their course They suffered judg-
ment in wandering in the wilderness
till they perished. Caleb in wholly
following the Lord always aimed
right. Ones aim in life determines
ones faithfulness to God.
V. 10. "And, now, behold, the
Lord hath kept me alive, as he said,
these forty and five years, even
since the Lord spake this word unto
Moses, while the children Of Israel
wandered in the wilderness; and
now, 10, I am this day four score
and five years old.". Evidently Caleb
had helped for several years in the
necessary battles with the different
tribes to possess the promised land.
Now having helped his brethren, he
reminds Joshua of the portion due
him. He recognizes God as the CIV
er and preserver of his life. Cou-
pied with this fact is the evidence
that the habits and program OF
Caleb made it possible for God to
add many years to his life.
v. IL. GAS yet, l am as strong
this day as / was in the day that
Moses sent me; as my strength was
then, even so is my strength now,
for war, both to go out, and to come
in" The spectacle of Caleb as ready
for war at eighty-five as he had
been at forty-five, may be rare
one now with our luxurious habits.
But the principle holds good that
men who live hard, work hard, and
abstrain from all Over-indulgence,
will as rule preserve their physical
vigor to an advanced age. Com
mon sense and Christianity are ever
allied.-Pulpit Commentary.
v. IL. "Now therefore give me
this mountain, whereof the Lord
spake in that day; for thou heard
Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1938-07-07

est in that day how the Anakim
were there, and that the cities were
great and fenced; if so, the Lord
will be with me, then shall 1 be able
to drive them out" Caleb at eighty
five was not retired, he was retired
OF all the large men spied upon
many years ago, the greatest were
these Anakim, who dwelt at Heb
ron where Abraham was at one time
located. 1t was from this place that
the huge grapes were taken back to
Israel as proof Of the productivity
of the land. 1t is well to aim high
But it is better to aim at diff
cult, challenging and worthy goal.
1t is still more important to adjust
our aims to the divine will What
the Lord speaks to us ought to oc-
cupy the largest place in our pro-
gram. When one does his best as
did Caleb all his life, he is pretty
sure of getting divine strength and
grace sufficient for any battle.
V. 13. ''And Joshua blessed him;
and he gave Hebron unto Caleb" ;"
Caleb had not only wholly followed
Jehovah but he honored Joshua,
Gods servant, who had taken Moses
place. To make a success in life
consists in honoring God and to re-
spect those servants of God who
are over us.
v. IA. "And Hebron therefore
became the inheritance of Caleb
because that he wholly followed the
Lord God of Israel" Surely this
lesson stresses Caleb's lifetime de-
votion. Caleb's program was, first,
entrance with the other children of
Israel into the promised land, and,
secondly, fighting to possess it and
thirdly resting from battle and toll
ing as a good servant of the Lord
To be d Christian means entrance
into the kingdom, fighting all
wrong, and coming to the final tri-
umph of victory with rest in the
Lord.

Depressions may go and recess
sions may come, but the Allegan,
Michigan Reformed Church, says
the Detroit Free Press, has the an
swer The secret is self-help, by
means of which this church has kept
all it's unemployed members off re-
lief. The first community joy they
found was clearing 40 acre tract
of wooded muck land. They bought
a sawmill, table saw, and shingle
saw. The good timber they sawed
into lumber From the rest they
manufactured celery boxes, potato
and onion crates, and seed f1ats.
Tops and waste wood they cut into
fuel. When the city cleared the
fiowage area for the municipal dam,
they bought logs from the city and
kept busy. Over four year period,
78 men, representing 50 families, in
this way have had work. Someone
has pointed out that there are four
classes of workers; the tired, the
less. The members Of this Mich
igan church group seem to belong to
the latter class.

Releasing of the 250,0OO untouch-
ables in Indore from their age-old
bondage is believed in India to be a
step which may change the caste
system of the country. The procla-
nation of the Maharapah Of Indore
throws open all the state temples,
public places, eating houses and
public vehicles in the city and vicin-
ity to them. The untouchables may
freely use the public wells instead
of being forced to take water from
stagnant pools. They also may
build houses where others may
build. The move is a decisive ad-
vance on the reform for which Ma
hatma Gandi has fought.
When the coming of the season of
pilgrimages, the government is max
ing renewed effort to prevent re-
ligious suicides at the top of Mount
Omei, most famous of the five sacred
Buddhist mountains of China. Con-
ducive to suicide, it is explained, is
the astonishing phenomenon by
which pilgrims, looking down on
the clouds from plateau of the IL, >
600 foot mountain, see the image OF
Buddha surrounded by an iridescent
rainbow. Unaware that what they
see is the shadow of themselves, a
number of pilgrims, believing that
Buddah himself has come to well
come them to Nirvana, throw them
selves over the edge of the plateau
in transport cf joy.

Be master of your will, slave OF
your conscience.-Marcu Aurelius.
Ridicule is the weapon of an
empty hand.
A man is known by the things he
seeks, rather than by those he finds.
If it is wrong to borrow trouble,
it is worse wrong to lend it to
others.
God is limited by the hardness of
ones heart.
The attitude of the soul de-
termines the character of the inspi-
ration received.
He who measures friendship by
what he can get out of it is not a
true friend.
When harassed, get your courage
up, not your temper.
Character is not made in a crisis
it is only exhibited.
There is always something wrong
with a man, as there is with a mo-
tor, when he knocks continually.
+
The real apology for doing wrong
is the sincere effort to make it right.
Brood over your troubles and
you will have a great hatch.

Too many think of God made in
mans image.
1t requires wisdom, faith and
spiritual experience to make God
real.

Budget Problem
Studied by Conference

Beauty parlor employers and
employees are still $3.50 apart in
their estimates of what the weekly
wage Of the girl and women work
ers in the District should be.
Employees estimate that each
girl must have at least $22.5O
weekly and the employers budget
calls for ST..
Principal points Of difference Is
the self-improvement item in the
employe budget. This would give
each girl $16.40 a year for pur-
chase of such extras as newspa-
perS, magazines and library fees.
The girls are also insisting that
$35 is not an exorbitant amount
for recreation, including movies,
swimming, dancing and club dues.
Conferences are held each Mon
day and Tuesday forenoon in the
board room of the District Build
ing. Members of the Minimum
Wage Board are hopeful that most
of the differences can be adjusted
at the next two or three sessions.

MAKING JUNEAU A BETTER TOWN

Communities invariably thrive and prosper in accordance with the volume business which is done in the community by the persons living in it. If the inhabitants of city town send their money to an other community to buy things, the latter thrives whfle the home town lapses into the doldrums It is an old old principle but is just well founded today as it was years ago It just the difference between a mining camp and a city.
 Juneau could well be just a mining camp today. If when the town started all the residents had done all their business in Seattle for example and merely lived here while they worked in the mine there would have been little excuse for having city here. It could have remained mining camp. But those early residents wanted the advantages which come from the establishment of city with its govern ment its schools it's churches, streets side walks individual homes and the countless other bene fits which civilization offers when communities strives for them.
 The result has been the growth of Juneau to be the leading city of the Territory and still moving ahead However, it backward just as rapidly as it has been moving ahead if Juneau resi- dents send their business to other cities If for ample half of the buyers in Juneau sent to Seattle for all their goods-groceres, clothing, hardware and the other many other commodities which in the course of our existence-Juneau would have just 50 percent of the business it enjoys and conse quently it would be only 50 percent as good a town Real estate and property values would go down pay rolls would go down half of the stores in town would go out of business In time tax rolls would go down and the city without income would instead of going ahead begin to fall into decay It wouldn't take many years at that rate to put Juneau back in the mining camp class
 If, the other hand 100 percent of the buyers in Juneau bought their goods in the city the picture would be just the opposite Business would increase payrolls would increase stores would expand offering and greater variety, and Juneau would move ahead with mutual advantages to every resident of the community.
 Yesterday in this newspaper a group of merchants of Juneau said in their message to Empire readers
 Buy in Juneau and insure your future"
 Think it Where does your money go when you send it Outside to purchase goods which you can buy in your home town? It certainly doesn't go to make Juneau better place for you and your family to live in

SATURDAY. AUGUST 6. 1888

SATURDAY, AUGUST 6, 1888
 Adverse planetary aspects appear to dominate today, according to as- trology. It is time for rest and recreation from urgent business or professional matters.
 Treachery and double-dealing will be apparent in many human relations. International pacts may be broken on flimsy pretexts before many weeks have passed.
 Accidents or disasters on the water are prognosticated. Both the Suez and the Panama Canals will be prominently mentioned in cur rent news as autumn draws near.
 Astrologers emphasize the perils due to the threatening aspects of Mars, which have their influence upon individuals as well as nations. Quarrels and dissensions will be numerous in coming months.
 Women should prepare for future demands upon them for national service and should concentrate upon practical efforts toward profession al training.
 Girls may find this an unsatis- factory date for social entertain ments. Escorts may prove exceed ingly uninterested. The configura- tion encourages selfish motives
 Mars in Leo causes expectation of excitement in streets and places where many persons congregate Sudden demonstra tions of violence may mark labor difficulties
 Race consciousness may be en- phasized as the war in the Orient arouses sympathy and refugees from Europe seek sanctuary in the Unit ed States.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of small prop erty gains, but the attention of many may be diverted to romances that are unlucky.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be sentimental and pleas ure-loving as well as studious and industriouS. Subjects of this sign of Leo often gain wide fame.
