they blame others for their

hath the Lord brought us unto
this land to fall by the sword,

asked forgiveness for his peo-
pie because he knew the
character of God and had seen
him work in the past. "And
the Lord said, have pardoned
according to thy word" - By
this time the patience of the
Lord was becoming very worn
with the Children of Israel, for
this time he had brought them
within sight of their destina-
ton and they refused to rise
up and enter into the land as
God had directed them to do.
But as truly as l live, all the

least Withholding of his full

Caleb, because he had another

rewarded, though the reward
may not come Immediately.
PRACTICAL POINTS ON
The LESSON:
The twelve spies sent out,
ten brought back a discourag-
ing report. They reported that
there were giants living in the
land; that they were but grass
hoppers in comparison to
them, and that they were not
able to possess the land. Two
of the spies brought back an
encouraging report, but the
people accepted the report of
the ten. Their reports caus-

MEMORY SELECTION -
Today if We will hear his voice,
harden not your hearts, as in
the provocation, in the day of
temptation in the wilderness"
--HebrewS 81, 81. Hear his
voice, assent to, approve of,
and consider, what God in
Christ speaks unto you; apply
it to yourselves with suitable
affections and endeavours, and
about it this very day, for to-
morrow it may be too late.
What he cautions them against
hardening their hearts, turn
ing the deaf ear to the calls
and counselS of Christ: ''When
he tells you of the evil of sin,
the excellency of holiness, the
necessity of receiving him by
faith as your Saviour, do not
shut your ears and heart
against such a voice as this"
c AL E B AND JOSHUA
STILL THE PEOPLE:
"And Caleb stilled the peo-
pie before Moses, and said, Let
us go up at once, and possess
it; for we are well able to over
come it." - Joshua and Caleb
turned in a minority report in
which they stated that the land
of Canaan was both rich and
conquerable. Caleb was par
ticularly hopeful and conf
dent of the possibility of con-
quering the land, and it SEEM
ed for a while that he would
be able to pacify the people
who were almost in revolt af-
ter hearing the disconcerting
report of the ten spies.
THE EVIL REPORT OF
TEN SPIES:
But the men that went up
with him said, We be not able
to go up against the people;
for they are stronger than
we" - Ten of the twelve spies
make a majority recommen-
dation against attack. "And
they brought up an evil report
of the land which they had
searched unto the children of
Israel, saying, The land,
through which we have gone to
search it, is a land that eateth
up the inhabitants thereof; and
all the people that we saw in
it are men of a great stature"
= The ten build a case, over
looking the desirability of the
land and the promise of God,
they emphasize danger and
risk. "And there we saw the
giants, the sons of Anak, which
come of the giants: and we
were in our own sight as grass
hoppers, and so we were in
their sight" = The spies were
afraid before the people and
then assumed that the giants
looked upon them with dis
dain.
