joshua leqson text joshua 1 14 23 111 a people jtndino a hqmeland the long history of the human race has seen many an invasion carried out with the express purpose ol conquest and settlement the hebrew invasion of canaan was such an one preced ing lessons have dealt with the deliver ance of the hebrews from bondage in egypt their long migration and pre paration for nationhood their initial setback and their further disciplining the book of joshua which forms the basis of the present lesson records the actual invasion and gradual conquest of the promised land beginning with the fall of jericho and the allottment vt territory to the different- tribes for conquest and settlement and ending with die death of joshua moses suc cessor the lesson suggests that there were three outstanding factors which made the invasion successful the courage and faith of the leader joshua appears to have succeeded to the leadership of the hebrew tribes at the opportune moment in natural en dowments he was quite different from es moses was the lawgiver joshua waa the soldier and in actual invasion not a law giver but a soldier was called for both of them however had two qualities in xomraon qualities shared by all great lesduis and pion eers courage and faith luther for example had these it is recorded that when he was on his way to defend his heretical opinions at the imperial diet at worms he received a message from the elector of saxony warning him not to enter the city turning to the messenger after reading the mes s he said in the now famous words go tell your master that should ti crt be as manj dewls at worms as there are tiles on iu roofs i would enter it the n t tells us of jtsus lhal he steadfastly set his face towards jerus alem knowing that if he went there he would sulfur many things of the chler priests nid sv tbes it is characters tie ol jooliuu thant the age of eighty- five when the land of canaan was di vided among the tribes lor conquest he chose che mil louiurj for hn mher ce il liougii il w i inhabited b the most war like of the aborigines and defended by the strongest v ailed cities the courage and the will of the people joshua had the further quality of being able to inspire others with his own faith and courage lack of these qualities had been the cause of the fat lure of the hebrews forty years before it is an entirely different people one sees now as earl one morning they rose up packed their baggage and led by the ark of the covenant passed over the river jordan and laid selge to the walled city of jericho such was their will to conquer that even the wa ters of the jordan rolled back before them and they passed over dryshod and even the walls of jericho tumbling down before the blasts of thetr trumpets truly the future of any people depends upon the great ness of the vision which they have at their possibilities as a people and the will and the courage to make that vis ion an actuality the covenant relationship with goo the covenant relationship which the hebrews had with god was uk one factor without which neither the faitfl and courage of their leader nor their own will to conquer would have availed nothing time and again the book of joshua and the other books of the o t lay stress on the ooavenanc in the lesson text in giving a farewell address to his people he makes little mention of the battles fought and none of the victories won under his leader ship what he sees and what he wants his people to see is the hand of god in the turns of history which gave them a national homeland he reminds them of the great tilings god has done for thatn and of the heavy obligation which is theirs because of what god has done and he says take good heed therefore unto yourselves that ye love the lord your gtod indeed is the nation whose god is the lord it is suggested that these three fac tors in the lesson have a bearing upon us here in georgetown as we look to the postwar future there are many fields of conquest for us public health public education public morals and housing and the evangehztng of the unohrtstian you may think of others well don t these three factors apply as conditions of success the faith and courage of our leading spir its the courage and will of the dtl- eenry and most important of all our covenant relattonihip with god there tsthenew covenant sealed in the blood of gods son in which for hit part he has promised forgiveness ol atns hbr rule in the hearts of men and eternal life and in which for our part we are called upon to believe with these three factors operative
