LESSON IN ITS SETTING Place.--The call to Moses occurred near Mount Sinai (or Mount Hor- eb) on the peninsula of Sinai; when Moses went back to Egypt, ho went back to the court which he had fled from forty years before, which was probably at the city of Tanls. Time.--B.C, 1499. "And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Is- rael, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, what is his name? what shall I say unto them?" The names of God ex- press God's character, God's pur- poses; to know the full meaning of the names of God is to know the character of God. What Moses now wanted most of all was such a revela- tion of God, vouchsafed to him in one of. God's great names, that the ebrew people would know for cer- "tainty - that Moses - was God's true messenger in this momentous crisis, i "And God said unto Moses, I am that I am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say:-unto the children of Israel, 1 am hath sent me unto you." This name, of course, reveals God as an {hdividual, a person; this person is sglf-existent, ie., has life, his life does not depend upon someone else; he is independent of all external forces and of all other beings in the world. , "And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of 'Israel, Jehovah." The name Jehovah means the self-exist- ° ent one, literally, "he that is who 'he is," and thus we have in this name 'the full revelation of what God had just told Mdses, that he was the I . The word "Jehovah" occurs hun- f eds of times in the Old Testa- ment and is not found here for the first time, The first reference is in Gen. 2: 4, "The God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Is- sac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you." Here the God about to deliver Israel, the -God Moses is to follow, the God whom the lsrael- ftes are to trust, is not some new "deity like one of the many gods of pagan Egypt, but the eternal God f their fathers, who truly led them fa ages gone by, who revealed his power, his wisdom, and his love to them, who had made promises to them which were now. to be fulfilled: "This is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all gener- ations." "This statement contains a very important truth, a truth which inany professing Christians seem to .#orget, namely, that God's relation- ship with Israel is an eternal one. He k just as much Israel's God now as en he visited them in the land of gypt. Moreover, he is just as posi- ively dealing with them now as then, only in a different way." "Go, and gather the elders of Is- rael together, and say unto them, Je- hovah, the God of your fathers, the - (od of Abraham, of Isaac, and of acob, hath appeared unto me, say- ing, I have surely visited .you, and geen that which is _done- to you in gypt." The elders of Israel were the older and leading men of the ifferent families among the Hebrew "people. We should notice through- out this declaration by God of his Pie for Israel that everything is 0 be done logically and in order. Moses is not to appeal to the mob, or yet to confront Pharaoh without futons to speak for them, nor is e to make the great demand. for ancipation abruptly and at once. Fe mistake of forty years ago must not be repeated now." . 4:10, And Moses said unto Jeho- ah, Oh, Lord, I am not eloquent, neither "heretofore, nor since thou ast spoken unto thy servant; for I m slow of speech, and of a slow fongue, It may be that Moses had a natural hesitancy of speech; it may bo that he had lost a fluency of speech which once, he had, by long ears of semi.solitude tending sheep Midian; it may also be that Moses vas exaggerating his own short-com- ings--that he thought an eloquence Was needed for the task greater than o task really called for, "Without God, no amount of human eloquence Would have availed; with God, the Herest stammerer would have proved an efficient minister." ! 11, And Jehovah said unto Wi Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh a man dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? is it not I, Jeho- vah? 12. Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt speak. God never sends any servant of his on any errand-unless; at the same time, he fully equips him for the accom- plishment of the task which he has given into his hands for doing. If it were words that Moses needed, when C--3 = Rt he iist a sl the hour came for him to stand be- fore Pharaoh, those words God would certainly give him: What a wonder- ful comfort to Sunday-school 'teach ers, leaders of missions, workers in the hospital, all who feel that God has placed a certain task upon 'their, hearts, to know that the God who sends is also the God who will ade- 'quately mndjassuredly equip! ° 13. And he said, Oh, Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send. "Moses assents, but unwillingly and ambiguously." 14. And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Moses. Only once have recorded the fact i god was angry with his prophet, at thé waters of Meribah, when Moses arrogantly manifested an undue assumption of pewer (Num, 20: 19-13; Deut. 1:37). And he said, Is there not Aaron thy brother the Levite? I know that he can speak well.. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart. "As Moses, equally with Aaron, belonged to the tribe of Levi (Ex. 2:1), the term, as applied to Aaron, must denote not ancestry, but profession. It was the official title of one who had received the train ing of a priest, whose duty it was to give oral direct'on to the people; hence some power of language might be presupposed in him." 15. And thou shalt speak unto him, and put the words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do. 16. And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people; «nd it shall come to pass, that he shall be to thee a mouth, and thou shalt be to him as God. While it is not wise to say what would have: happened if such had not taken place, yet it would appear that Moses' re- luctance to assume full leadership at this time had in it consequences more or less harmful to Israel in the days that followed. "Moses lost the possession of high gifts which God was ready to confer upon him. God would have made him eloquent, though he was not so by nature; and had the faith of Moses been suffici- ently strong to overcome- his self- distrust, he would have added elo- quence and persuasive speech to his other splendid endowments." Ex, b5:1--6:1. 5:1. And after- wards Moses and Aaron came, and said unto Pharaoh, Thus saith Jeho- vah, the God of Israel, Let my peo- ple go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness. "After forty years of obscurity and silence, Moses re-enters the magnificent halls where he had formerly .turned his back upon so great a place. The rod of a shepherd is in his hand and a loyal Hebrew by his side. Men who recognize him shake their heads and pity or despise the fanatic who had thrown away the most dazzling pros- pects for a dream, but he has long since made his choice, and whatever misgivings now beset him have re- gard to his success with Pharaoh or with his brethren, not to the wisdom of his decision, nor is be known to repent of it. The pomp of an obse- quious court was a poor thing in the eyes of an ambassador of God." Pharaoh refused to allow the child- ren of Israel to go, asking impert- inently who this person might be, the Lord God, of whom Moses spoke, for this God was not included in the vast which he was acquainted. He did not know this God, and he frankly asked why he should obey the command of such a strange deity. "The point of the reply lies in that word obey. He say that these men did not present him with a request, but with a man- date from one of greater: authority than himself. This stung him to the- quick. He also was a god. How dare they, a parcel of slaves, speak of in the midst of priests, courtiers, and high officers of state!" \ Instead of granting permission to be excused from labor for three days that they might offer sacrifices to their God in the wilderness, the He- brew people were more bitterly and unmercifully burdened with exhaus- ting toil and demands impossible to 'meet, by the Egyptian task-masters, as though Pharaoh would say, "If these people do not have enough to keep their minds occupied and to keep them from this mood of rebel- liousness, we will se that their very spirits are broken, so that this haugh- ty pride of theirs will be utterly crushed." Those who remained to maké the bricks must attempt to Agee enqugh bricks day by day to "make up for the amount which those out lcoking for the straw were ex- pected to imake themselves. The task, of ¢ourse, proved too great, and the Hebrew scribes, whose business it was to record the amount of bricks made and the hours every man work- ed were beaten for their failure to fully-meet these increased demands, No doubt the action of Zipporah as Moses was about to leave Midian was a great d: sappointment to him.

This is always one of the inevitable experiences of leadership, a price that has been pa'd by every great leader of every age, namely, that when anything goes wrong, the lead- er will be blamed. Most men cannot see farther than the day in which they live, They are not willing to suffer a little for ultimate freedom, and any hardships endured by the multitude who groan for deliverance will be immediately blamed upon' the leader who has come to lay down his life for such del'verance.. The bit- ter accusations against Moses were experienced in an even greater and deeper way by another who come from heaven to free men, to deliver them from their bondage, and died in executing such a mighty work, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Various Departments of the o-oo Bot Flies Can Be Controlled ' The active horse annoying bot fly of today, came from an egg that was 1ald on the hair of a horse a year ago. The bot-fly egg hatches: after a period of ten or more days on the hair, to become a larva or grub. The grub spends ten or more months in the stomach or intestines of the horse, de- veloping to full larva maturity. Leav- ing the horse the larva goes through a pupation or development stage, to emerge in about 30, days as a fly cap- able of reproducing its kind. If those caring for. horses would make it a regular practice to remove the hair all bot-fly eggs or destroy them with a wash or spray made of any light ofl or disinfecting solution capable of soaking into the egg, there would not be any bot-flies to annoy the horses. The egg-laying period June to Octo- ! her each year is the "weakest link" period in the life of bot-flies, An op- portunity to destroy this horse pest ig therefore given to horse owners to destroy the eggs, which {f allowed to remain alive on the horse produce the bot-flies of the succeeding year. A fine 'teel comb will remove the eggs. A two per cent. carbolic solu- tion or one made from a good stock dip or fly spray will prevent the eggs from hatching, No hatch, no grub, no fly. Go over the horses and colts, once every ten days this summer to prevent trouble next winter and sum- mer, from bot annoyance, Animal Pests The animal pests that we speak of as worms, come from eggs that have ( clther after such waste left the before or from the presence of fecal matter that is permitted to accumulate in yards, pens and small pasture areas. The fecal matter containing worm eggs may contaminate focd or water and reach the stomach or intestines of trough fed or pastured animals. If those in charge of live stock would keep in mind that the manure of ani- mals is the dangerous source of worm eggs and disease promoting egrms it would be better for the industry gen- erally. It would be better for the, live stock, if manure were disposed of in such a way as to remove all respon- sibility of it contaminating food or water, What sanitation has done for the human race it will do likewise for our domestic animals. "Colts Need Protection Colts that become worm and bot in- tested early in life carry a handicap, usually a heavy one. The worm han- dicap may interfere with general thrift and growth, it may result in vi- olent colic and death, Colts are very gusceptable to worm infestation dur- ing the first two years and very much go while still taking milk, The new born colt instinctively searches for udder and teat to obtain nourishment. If the teat and udder are contamin- ated, the colt will unknowingly re- move In the act of sucking worm eggs, which it swallows with the milk, Lat- er, infective worm eggs may be pick- ed up while feeding or drinking, when enclosed in oontaminated premises, Bot flies pester colts when attempting to deposit their eggs, which they usu- ally succeed in doing. The bot larva invade the tissues and stomach of the colt to cause some distress, The two pests bot larvae 'and round worms cause "unthrift and frequent pain. Colts should be protected against these pests by those responsible for their care. The simple matter of egg destruction will protect the colt, from the invasion of pests, FIRES hh 5 rid oy ERE; _ birthday on July 3rd. Around The Dial RADIO HEADLINERS OF THE WEEK G. C.

Leaving all other com- petitors far behind Mr. Benny has again ridden into No. 1 spot, ranking every other radio performer for the third successive year, Benny's hated late rival, Fred Al- len showed up in 11th place. Hard on Benny's heels came Nelson Eddy, baritone. Frances Langford topped the feminine entertainers, finshing in fourth positon, although Mary Liv- ingston probably shares first place honors with Jack Benny. Jessica Dragonette, a songbird, finished in 10th place in the pole. Don Ameche not listed last year, got under the wire in 12th nd last place. ~ + Harry McNaughton, who 's known as Phil Baker's "Bottle" on the air, will make his first microphone ap- pearance under his own name later in the summer as a guest on Harry Von Zell's variety program.

It is rumored around that our old friends Amos and Ardy of the tooth- paste fame w'li have a change in programs on the first of the year. It seems that while their sponsors are not tired of the Negro wit ani humor they think that some other s'etch would at the present time bring them more dividends, so they are on the lookout for a Lid show to veplace the blackface comedians. Meanwhile it is said, the A and A combination al- ready has a sponsor (name undis- closed) who wants them to sizn on the dotted line. The Metropolitan Opera Auditions of the air, which were so very popu- lar Jast fall, are planning to return to the™mir_on October 3rd and it is stated that™all the preliminary try- outs as well as the station auditions will be handled by Wilfred Pelletier. Wilf, by the way, was just recently married to the opera star Rose Bampton. And now for sport lovers. There are to be no less than four great sport events broadcast via the radio this month, the most outstanding 1 think is the Vanderbilt Cup Race, which is run at the Roosevelt Race- way, and will take the air over the WJZ chain; then there is' the 'All Star" Baseball game and the Anglo- American track meet, and finally the America Cup race which while of qu'te long duration should be very interesting to all sport fans. The Anglo-American track meet which is helu at Cambridge, Mass., is to be handled by Bill Stern and his group of announcers who will travel to that city and tell- the world of tho prowess of the English chaps from Oxford and Cambridge und of the American boys from Harvard and Yale, This meet is scheduled for 3 "World p.m., July 10th. Then there is the big boat race which is run at Nan- tucket, Mass., and is between T. O. M.

Annual Poll Radio Favorites Tabulation of the 1,600,000 votes cast in Radio Guide's annual "Star of Stars" election, just completed, shows that the American radio audience still prefers comedy to everything else on the air. Jack Benny, winner of the "Star of Stars" title, also came out on top in the comedians' division, just ahead of Edde Cantor and Milton Berle, and he carried Don Wilson to the top of the an- nouncers' bracket. Tiny Ruffner and Jimmy Wallington placed second and third, The national radio weekly's poll showed increased appreciation of semi-classical mus'c at least as far as songs are concerned. Ths is indi- cated by Nelson [ddy's amazingly high vote in several classifications. Second to Benny for the "Star of Stars" honor, Eddy was tops In the classical divisicn, s2cond to Don Ameche amon~ the actors, fourth in the popular singers' rating, And Vick's Oven ITouse, which featured Nelson Eddy, ranked second amang all musical nroorans, finishing just beh'nd Showboat! Wayne King's waltzez floated to the top of the orchestra pool, as usual, with Guy Lombardo second and Shen IFicids' third. Ding Crosby topped the male ponular siners, fol- lowed by Lanny Doss and Kenny Baker. Frances Lanford took ton honors on the feminine side, with Kate Smith cecond and Jessica Drag- onette third. Boake Carter was first in favor among the commentators, and Dean- na Durbin was voted the "most promising star."

Because snails have become so troublesome in the gardens of Can- berra, Australia, the Government's health officials have imported English thrushes to war on the pest. The birds were obtained in New Zealand, and their presence has resulted in a second war. Those who oppose the plan declare that the thrushes are apt to gecome a greater pest than the snails. Natural history societies have taken up arms against the in- vaders. Basset Hull, secretary of the Royal Zoological Society of New South Wales, who is leading the at- tack, believes that the birds, after eradicating the snails, will create havoc in orchards and hasten the ex- termination of native birds.

Blackheart In Celery Cause Of Heavy Losses In many celery-growing districts of Ontario blackheart, or heart-rot as it is sometimes called, is respons- ible for considerable losses. The discase is largely confined to the carly crops and generally appears during or subsequent to periods of high temperature or high humidity in late July or August when the plants are nearing maturity. The symptoms are quite charac- teristic and appear as a watersoak- ing of the young heart leaflets, which later shrivel and turn black. If the attack is slight, the plants are able to outgrow the trouble and produce new hearts, the affected leaves ap- pearing as blackened tips at the ends of elongated stalks. If, however, the attack is severe, the growing point is killed and the plants become utter- ly useless. Under certain conditions black- heart may be complicated by soft- rot-producing bacteria apd tarnished plant bugs. While each of these fac- tors produce typical symptoms on celery, the former, a soft, I'ght brown decay on any exposed part of the plant, and the latter, severe-injury and browning of the leaf stalks, both have been thought to bear some rela- tion to the problem. Although soft- rot is important as a secondary decay following the physiological disease, tarnished plant bugs are not connect- ced with the trouble. . Experimental tests - with black- heart at the St. Catharines Labora- tory of Plant Pathology indicate that .- cons'derable losses may be avoided if transplanting to the field is delay- ed by several days and. if the crop is harvested before it reaches maxi- mum growth. In view of the above findings, growers who have been troubled with this disease would be well advised to delay transplanting and advance harvesting. If, however, blackheart appears before cutting is completed, harvest the remainder of the crop as speedily as possible. Paris Isn't Gay WwW. F.

Nowhere else do you imagine that you can feel the Iner pulse of a city by idly watching the crowds as they mill around you in a sidewalk cafe. Paris lives in the streets. People do their reading and knitting on the pavement cates, They gossip and spill their secrets on the sidewalk and of- ten make their toilet there. Tho streets are a theatre where everybody is both an aetor and a spectator. It a family has not money cnough on a Sunday afternoon to partake of refreshments at a cafe its members will content themselves by slowly ams bling down the streets looking in the shop windows an deyeing indulgently tho cafe crowds who return their looks with the same idle and philoso phic interest.
