BIBLE STORY

THE STORY OF LITTLE MOSES
(This story is based on Exodus l
and p
HELLO BOYS AND GIRLS!
Have you ever visited the beauti-
full Lincoln Memorial in our ma
tons capital? Thousands come
here annually and look into the
thoughtful, compassionate face of
the man who freed millions from a
life of slavery.
Did you know that ancient Israel
also had their Abraham Lincoln -
Moses whom God nightly used
to deliver them from cruel bond
age? The story of Moses is one of
the most fascinating and breath
taking in all the Bible.
In last weeks story we learned
how the children of Israel had set
tied in Egypt because of the great
famine, and how their lives were
preserved by Joseph, who was then
the prime minister of Egypt. AS
long as Joseph lived, the Egyptians
were grateful for what he had
done for them, but after he died
a new Pharaoh arose who did not
appreciate his services to the ma
ton. Besides, he feared that the
Israelites would eventually out
number the Egyptians, and that
they might wage war against
them. To prevent the Israeites
from multiplying he "made their
lives bitter" with hard, exhausting
labor, sin morter, and in brick,
and in all manner of service in the
field" In other words, he made
slaves out of the entire nation of
Israel. When that didn't work,
Pharaoh ordered his people to seize
every newborn baby boy of the
Israelites and throw him into the
river Nile.
One day a lovely baby boy was
born to a godly Hebrew couple.
Looking into the sweet, beautiful
face of their little baby, whom
they dearly loved, they determined
to do everything possible to save
him from being cast into the river.

And so they most earnestly pray
ed to God, and He gave them wis
dom. At first, they hid the little
one in a secret place for three
months; then, unable to hide him
any longer, they put him in a
water-tight basket and placed him
in the river near the shore, among
the rushes. Moses had a wide
awake little sister, called Miriam,
whom her mother had instructed to
watch the babe to see what would
happen to him.
In answer to their earnest pray
er, an angel was sent to direct
Pharaoh's daughter to the very
spot where the little baby lay.
Imagine her surprise when she
lifted the cover of the basket to
find a beautiful baby lying there.
Then the cute little baby began TO
cry, and the princess heart was
touched. She determined to save his
life by adopting him for her very
own. Miriam seeing how lovingly
Moses was regarded by the prin-
cess, came near and asked whether
she might be permitted to call "a
nurse of the Hebrew women that
she may nurse the child" How
Miriam's heart must have leaped
for joy to hear the princess say,
eyes" And whom do you suppose
she called? You guessed it! His
mother! How careful his mother
was to teach Moses to love and
obey God during those twelve long
years she was permitted to keep
him. And how far-reaching the
results of her faithfulness!
Then too, think how much was
at stake in little Miriam's obeying
her mothers order to watch! Had
Miriam neglected to do this, they
might never have seen little Moses
again, and he would have been
brought up as an idolater, instead
of becoming the great liberator Of
whole nation! When you carry
out your mothers orders, the re-
suits may be just as far-reaching,
just as wonderful! Why not?
