IA Lesson
For the Week
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS.

ISraePs plight in Egypt Is the
best-known instance of oppression
of people by the nation within
whose bounds they dwelt-although
the plight of the Jews in Europe
in recent years was worse than that
of their ancestors In Egypt. Few
people have suffered as much as
the Jews.
We marvel at the way God raised
up leaders for us in the recent war
Churchill, Roosevelt, Stain. among
the statesmen; Marshall, Macarthur,
Nimitz, Montgomery, Alexander
zhutov, among the battle leaders on
land and sea. More than three
thousand years ago He raised up a
leader for the Jewish nation. who
had no weapon other than shep-
herds rod. His name was Moses.
The account of his birth, his
rescue from death. and his educa-
ton, is one of the loveliest stories
in history. Behind Moses was the
heritage and training of a devoutly
religious home.
Moses, as rash, youthful re-
former, tried to achieve freedom
for his people without reckoning
with Providence. Compelled to flee
Egypt, he served for 40 years as a
shepherd in Midian, where God
trained him for his great work.
1t is worth musing upon that the
leaders of the three great mono
theistic faiths were engaged in
humble employment when called.
Moses was a shepherd; Jesus was a
carpenter; Mohammed was a camel
driver.
Where the voice sounded out of
the burning bush. Moses responded
with the words, Here am l." He
was one of the Here am I" men of
history. of the sort for whom our
troubled times call. Commissioned
to great tasks which terrified him
because of their magnitude, he was
sustained by the divine assurance,

series of entertainments or fairs
were planned to increase the funds
the first being grand fair" at the
school hall on E street on September
"a. 1888. The success of these af-
fairs, plus other encouragement
enabled Father O'Brien to let the
contract for the new church.

Mass was celebrated in the basement
of the new church the following
Easter and in the church proper BY

purposes.
