Joshua, Choice Of Loyalties,
Joshua 1928; 24:14-21, for Sunday,
July 8:
During this quarter, great relig-
ious leaders will be studied that vir-
tues and strong elements of char
acter may be seen and which We
may incorporate in our lives. In
this lesson we have faithful Joshua
whose life of courage and fidelity
made him worthy successor OF
Moses.
v. 2. "Moses my servant is dead;
now therefore, arise, go over this
Jordan, thou and all this people,
unto the land which I do give unto
them, even to the children of Is
rael.' When such great leader as
Moses falls, God raises an able sue
cessor such as Joshua. Note that
when God speaks he does not sug-
gest an experiment, the trail and
error method, but simply "go and
do it, however great the task may
seem. There is logic in Gods help
when an undertaking is too great
for us.
VS.. 8, 4. "Every place that the
soul of your foot shall tread upon,
that have / given unto you, as
said unto Noses" Gods gifts are
promised on certain conditions.
Here it meant activity in going
forth in battle. We must be courag-
eous and fight in battles of right
eousness and by divine help we are
''more than cOnquerers through
Christ"
ct1 0f q ~
be able to stand before thee all the
days of thy life; as / was with
Moses, so I will be with thee; and
I will not fail thee nor forsake
thee" God has program of re-
demption that will not fail; if times
change, Gods principles for the well
fare of men do not change. If de-
serted, God promises to stand by his
children.
v. 6. "Be strong and of good
courage" We need this admoni-
tion since we are prone to get away
from any thing and every thing
that is hard to hear. Often those
who are sick need courage. Those
tempted to sin need courage. Those
facing death and going through sor-
row need courage.
v. Z. "Now therefore fear the
Lord, and serve him in sincerity and
in truth We were born to serve
God and not to do so means we have
missed our calling. We. need to
clean house-put out all idols. Pre-
ceding this therefore" Joshua re-
called the many blessings of God,
which was a good way to reach the
conclusion to serve God.
V. Is. "Choose We this day whom
We will serve" Each one has the
power of choice, the will to decide.
It is at this point that man is high
er than the animals of the field. An
intelligent will calls for study,
resolute will calls for determina-
ton to live up to ones knowledge,
a courageous will calls for deepest
conservation. Effective Christian
work must help the wills of indi-
viduals. In case one turns God
aside, it is then that he vacillates

FOUR RABBITS A DAY

Nimrods-only four rabbits a day
during the 1898 hunting season This
was the decree handed down recent
ly by the Ohio conservation council.
The reduction in the daily bag linn
it from five to four was voted by the
council in an attempt to avoid arti..
ficial restocking, Conservation Com
missioner Lawrence Wooddell re-
ported. For the first time in nearly
half century, Ohio sportsmen will
enjoy an open season, from Novem-
ber 18th to goth, on ruffled grouse,
it developed when the council decid-
ed to permit grouse hunting, with a
daily limit of two, on $1,000 acres
of stocked state land for which spe-
cial permits will be required. AS a
result Of an increased pheasant sup
ply, the council extended the season
to November 80. Previously the sea-
son was from November 15 to 25.

WORLD RELIC NEWS
The remains of an early Chris.
tian church and the ruins of other
ancient buildings have been discov-
cred by Franciscan Fathers on the
summit of Mt. Nebo, where Moses
viewed the promised land. The site
was recently purchased by the Fran
ciscans, who built a road to the
summit to facilitate the excavations
Well preserved mosaics were found
in the church and surrounding
buildings. In one of them the name
of Moses appears, and in others are
inscriptions which appear to refer
to bishops of the church. Crosses
were found everywhere in the edi.
fee, on capitals and pillars.
A great bronze bell that was cast
in 1908, at Malaga, in Spain, came
to this country as ship ballast a
hundred years ago. 1t travelled
through the Erie Canal to Buffalo
and reached Ellicottville, N. Y. in
1888. 1t was hung in the tower of
st. Johns church and it hangs
there still. For many years it's clear
and evening. The bell weighs 1900
pounds. It's Spanish inscription
says: 'I am the voice of the angel
who sounds on high. Hail, Mary,
full of grace" ST. Johns is in the
care of the rector Of st. Mary's,
Salamanca, N. Y.
A colony of lutheran Brethren
was recently eXiled from Germany,
being allowed only the suit of cloth
ing worn. All other possessions had
to be left behind. The sect closely
resembles the Moravians, living
strictly according to Biblical law
earning their living by farming and
the binding of rare books. The po-
lice, assisted by German soldiers,
gave them twenty-four hours to
leave the country. Their only crime
was that of the Quakers-oppositi
to war.

from one idol god to another.
V. 16. 'And the people answer
ed, and said, God forbid that we
should forsake the Lord, to serve
other gods" The Christian life de-
mands that there be open confess
sion in some form. A good Chris
great sermon. The best missionary
work is done by those whose ex-
amples are SO impressive as to cause
others to accept Christ.
v. IT. "For the Lord God, he it
is that brought us up and our faith
ers out of the land of Egypt" Real
confession is not merely general
statement, it involves detailed facts.
Meditation as part of worship may
we'll include recalling the goodness
of God in definite events SO that one
may the better praise God with
more meaning.
v. 10. "Joshua said, Ye can not
serve the Lord; for he is an holy
God; he will not forgive your trans
gressions nor your SINS Joshua
pictured their unfaithfulness in
coming days. He meant to say,
"You can not serve holy God and
live in sim" Too many excuse them
selves by saying Everybody SINS
not taking into account the motive
life. When one has a pure motive
and makes a mistake, that is not
a sin. A Christian must quit the
sin business.
v. 81. "And the people said un-
to Joshua, Nay; but we will serve
the Lord Here was a noble re-
newal of an oft proclaimed cove
nant. Something needs to be done
to forever help us to remember that
cur one business is to serve God.
Here is one value of the Sabbath
day. Sickness, sorrow and death
may work out to ones good in a
renewed covenant to serve God.

MANY HORSES In OHIO

Despite the opinion OF many per-
sons to the contrary, Old Dobbin is
far from being out of the picture in
Ohio, according to survey just
completed by DR.. F. A. thinner,
state veterinarian and chief of the
state division of animal industry.
He disclosed that the latest farm
census revealed the presence of
483,O00 horses and colts, with
valuation of -58,00O,0OO, in Ohio.
The survey does not include the
Ohio-owned thoroughbreds which
are raced in harness or, at running
tracks. Cattle, however, led the
livestock census both in number
and value, with an estimated 1,970,-
900 head having valuation of s83,-
$4,000. The current poultry popu-
lation was estimated at 19,832,O00
chickens, geese, ducks, turkeys and
guinea, Dr. thinner reported.

KEY TO SALOON
TO BE THROWN
IN SANTA CRUZ

When Sure Shot Louis Escala-
da, proprietor of the Last Chance
Bar opens his establishment in the
Frontier Village, next Thursday, the
key to the saloon will be thrown
into the Santa Cruz river.
From then on through four hec-
tic nights visitors to the Elks
Show will be treated to a taste Of
life was really like THE Days of
Old"
Located in a. huge tent, the bar
will be 80 feet long and built en-
tirely of beer kegs, the standby
of the early day saloon keeper.
The presence of Sure Shot Louie,
owner and proprietor, probably will
be sufficient to insure more or less
harmony for it is rumored that
Louie has a dozen notches in his
gun. In the event, however, that
assistance is necessary the services
of four unarnIed "huskieS" has
been secured to carry out the dead.
Eight bartenders will dispense
the red eye" and kindred concoc-
tions to the thirty gatherers while
the requisites of every respectable
saloon of the frontier days will be
operating full blast for the bene-
fit of customers.
II look for business to be right
smart" Sure Shot asserted recent
ly to one of his confidential
brownies. What with pay day and
all the boys will probably be some
thirty, but I'll be ready for EN-. I
figure to have six men besides the
bartenders working three shifts to
keep up with the cracked ice de-
mand, and couple of twenty mule
team haulin' to keep the joint in
wet goods"
The Last Chance is only one Of
the many attractions which will be
staged at the Frontier Fiesta April
81 to oath inclusive under the
auspices of the Nogales Elks.
