".And Moses .said unto God, llchold, when I come unto the children of Is- rael, and shall say unto them, The (Jod of your fathers hath sent me \fnto you ; and they shall say to me, wliat s bis name? what shall I say ifnto them?" The names of God ex- jUtcss (^od's character, God's pur- pose.s; to know the full meanintf of tne n. lines of God is to know the character of God. What Moses now wanlcHi nio.st of all was such a i-evela- tlon of God, vouchsafed to him in one of (Jod's great names, that the Hebrew people would know for cer- tainly that >bise3 was God's true Aessen-rcr in this momentous crisis. ".Ar.d God said unto Moses, I am that ] am: and he said. Thus shalt thou sny unto the children of Israel, I am h:ith sent me unto you." This nam<'. of course, reveals God as an individual, a person; th s person is self-existent, i.e., haa life, his life does not depend upon someone else; he is in<lependent of all e.xternal forces and of all other bcinps in the World. ".And Gi'd ;aid moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Jehovah." The ranu' .lehovah means the self-e.\ist- cnt I'Uv, literally, "ho that is who ho .s." and thus we have in this name the full revidation of wbat God br.d just tdd Moses, that he was the I am 'i '.(â-  word "Jehovah" occurs hun- dreds r,f times in the Oil Testa- ment and is not fouml here for the first time. T'le first reference is in Gen. I'j !. "The God of your fathers, the (; m| of Abiaham, the God of Is- sac, .I'lil the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you."

"Diis is my naine for ever, and this is my memorial unto all K''ncr- otioiii. riiis .tiitement contains a very inipoil;!nl truth, ;i truth which many |irofe--inn Christians secMn to forj'i't. namely, that (iod's relation- ship with I rael is an eternal one.

"Go. and gather the eldeis of Is- rael together, and say tmto them, Je- hovah, the C;o<l of your fathers, the God of Abiaham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, hath appciued unto me, say- ing, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt." The elders of Israel were the (dder and load ng men of the different families among the Hebrew peo|)Ie. We should notice through- Out tbi:< deeliiration by God of his purpose for Israel that everything is to he done logically and in order. â- 'Moses Is not to appeal to the mob, nor yet to confront I'haraoh without authority to speak for them, nor is ho to make the great demand for emancipation abruptly and nt once. The m stake of forty years ago must not be repealed now." â- 1:11). .And Moses said unlo Jeho- vah, Ob, Lord, 1 am not eIo(|Uent, neither heret.,fore, niir since thou hast spoken unto thy servant; for I am slow of s])cech, and of a slow tongue. It may ho that Moses had a natural hesitancy of sj)eoch; it may bo tliat he had lost a (luency of sjicerh which once ho had, by long years of .semi-solitude tending sheep in Midian; it may also be that Moses was exaggerating his own short-com- ing:-. â€" that he thought an eloquence was needed for the task greater than the task really called for. "Without God, no amount of human elo(|ueiuo would have availed; with God, the niere::t stamneier would navo proved on enicient minister." 11. And Jehovah said unto him. Who hath made man's mouth? or who niuketh a man dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? is it not I, Jeho- vah? 12. \ow therefore (ro, and I Will bo with thy mouth, and teach thee v.hat thou shalt speak. Go 1 never sends any servant of his on ftny errand unless, nt the same time, he fully eipiips him for the accom- ^I'shnient of the task which he has given into his hands for doing. If it wore words that Moses needed, when tte hour came for him to stand be- Wre I'haraoh,' tho.se words God would certainly give him. What a wonder- ful comfort to Sunday-school teach- ers, leaders of missions, workers in the hospital, all v.ho feel that God has placed a certain task upon their hearts, to know that the Go<l who sends is also the God who will ade- quately and assuredly eciuip! I''.. And he said. Oh, Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom ihou wilt send. ".Moses assents, but unv.illingly and ai^ibiguously." II- And the ;u;ger of Jehovah was kindled against Moses. Only once ii.";un in the long life of Moses do wo have recorded the fact that God was angry with his prophet, at the waters of .Mcribah, when Moses arrogantly n'anifested an undue assumption of power (Num. 20: l'J-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, ho comelh forth to meet thee : and when he seoth thee, he will be glad in his heart. ".As Moses, equally with -Aaron, belonged to the tribe of Levi (Kx. 2:1), the term, as ajiplied to Aaron, mu.st denote not ancestry, but profession. It was the official title of one who h.nd recjived the train- ing of a priest, whose duty it was to give oral direcfon to the people; hence some jiower 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. Ifi. .And he shall be thy spokesman unto the lieoplo; :.nd it shall come to pass, that he shall bo to thee a mouth, and thou shalt be to him as God. While it is not wise to say wh:it would have happened if such had not taken place, yet it would apjiear that Moses' re- luctance to assume full leadership at this time h;ul in it conse<|uences 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 elotiuent. 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- (pience and iiersuasve speech to his other splendid endowments." i:.v. .'i:!â€" (;:1. .'â- ,:i. An 1 aftcr- ward.i Moses and .Aaron came, and s:iid unto Pharaoh, Thus saith Jeho- vah, the (iod of Israel, Let my peo- l)le go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness. ".After lorty yi'ars of obscurity and silence, Moses re-enters the magnificent halls v.hero he had formerly turned his back upon so great a place. The rod of a sheidierd is in his hand and a loyal Hebrew hy his .side. Men who recognize him shake their heads and p ty or despise the fanatic who had thrown away the most dazzling ))ros- pec t.- for a dream, but he has long since made his choii.\, and whatever misgivings now hoset him have re- gard to his .success with Pharaoh or with his brethren, not to the wisdom of his decisiiiii, nor is be known to repent of it. The pomp of an obse- ((uious court was a poor thing in the eyes of an ambassador of God." Of course, as (iod had tidd Moses, Pharaoh refused to allow the child- ren of Israel to go, asking impert- inently who this ))erson might be, the Lord God, of whom Moses spoke, for this God was not inrluded in the vast pantheon of deities in I^gypt with which he was ac<|Ua nted. Ho did not know this God, and he frankly asked why ho should obey the command of ."â- uch a strange doity. • "The indnt of the reply lies in that word obey. Ho say that these men did not [iresent him with a rc(|uest, but with a man- date from one of greater authority tiian himself. This stung him to the (|iiick. He also w.is a god. How dare they, a parcel of slaves, speak of their paltry doity in his jiresencc and in the midst of priests, courtiers, and high ofVa'ers of state!" Instead of granting permission to be excused from labor for three days that they might otTer sacrifices to their God in the wilderness, the He- brew people were more bitterly and unmercifully Imrdened with exhaus- ting toil and demands impossible to nu-el, liy the Fgyptian task-masters, us though I'haraoh wotdd say, "If the.'e people do not have enough to keep their minds occupied and to keep them from this mood of rebel- liousness, wo will se that their very spirits arc broken, so th.it this haugh- ty prifle of theirs will be utterly cidfhed." Those who rcm.iined to make the bricks must attemnt to make enough bricks day by day to make up for the amount which those out h.oking for the 't.vaw were ex- I)ect<d to make themselves. The task, of course, proved too great, and the Hebrew scribes, whoso 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 those increased demands. No doubt the action of Zipporah as Mosps was about to leave .Midian was a great d sappointment to him. Now he is about to experience another and far greater one. The very people whom he has come to deliver turn upoii him anil blame him for the in- creased severity of the oppression which the Hebrews were sufTerlns- Power Houses Dv/arfed by Dam's M^'r^hty Face Seen from downstream, the fare of Ilouidei La.-.; :e.',.:ni' ^s a monst- rous sea shell as it dwarfs the power houses in the .'Covada wing (left), wheri' four mammoth generators supply about 100,000,000 kilowatt hours of electricity to Los Angeles each month.

Scientists are hoping that the re- ma ns of ancient man will be found in addition to the dead forests and fossil animals certain to be uncov- ered during the course of the work. This is always one of the inevitable experiences of leadership. a price that has been pad by every great li';>der of every age, namely, that v.lien anything goes wrong, the leiid- er will be blamed. Most men i-annot see f;uthcr 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 dePverance. The bit- ter accusations against Moses were experienced In an even greater and deeper way by another who como from heaven to free men, to deliver tho"i from their bondage, and died in executing such a mighty work, the Lord Jesus Christ.

The botfly ogg hatches after a period of ten or more days on the hair, to becomo a larva or gruli. The gnib Hpeiida ten or more months in the stomach or Intestines of tho horse, do- voloplng to full larva maturity. Leav- ing the horso the larva goes through a pupation or dovolopment stage, to emergo In about 30 days as a fly cap- aide of reproducing Us kind. If those caring for horses would make it a regular practice to reraovo tho hair all bot-fly eggs or destroy thoin with a wash or spray made of any light oil or disinfecting solution capalde of soaking Into the egg, there would not bo any botflies to annoy the horses. Tho ogglayln.g period Juno to Octo- ber each year Is tho "woakost link" period in the life of bot-flies.

It would bo belter for the live stock, It 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 boeomo worm and bot In- fested early in life carry a handicap, usually a heavy one. The worm han- dicap may interfere with general thrift ami growth, it may result in vi- olent colic and death. Colts are very siisceptablo to wonu Infestation dur- ing tho first two years and very much so while still taking milk. The new born colt instinctively searches for udiier and teat to obtain nourishment. If the teat and udder are contamin- ated, tho colt will unknowingly re- move In the act of sucking worm eggs, which it swallows with tho milk. Lat- er. Infective worm eggs may be pick- ed up while feeding or drinking, when enclosed In oontamlnated premlsoa. Hot files pester colts when attempting to deposit their eggs, which they usu- ally succeed In doing. The bot larva iiivado tho tissues and stomach of the colt to eau.io some distress.

Well folks, "Huck i;cr.ny rides again, not as in his radio sketch but up to the head of the poles in the an- nual Uadio Guides "Star of Stars Elect on." 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 posifon, although Mary Liv- ingston probably shares first place honors with Jack Benny. Jessica Dragonottc, a son.fjbird, finished in loth place in tho pole. Don .Amevhe not listed last year, got under the wire in 12th and last place. Harry McNaughton, who is known as Phil Baker's "Bottle" on the air, will make his first microphone ap- pearanc-s under his own name later in the summer as a guest on Harry Von Zell's variety program. He used to be a stage comic in his own right be- fore he turned to stooging. Harry Conn who wrote Jack Ben- ny's material for three and a half years, is scheduled to collaborate with Walter O'Keofe when tho latter starts subbing for Fred .Allen on Wednesday. Charlie McCarthy, Edgar Bergen's famous dummy, celebrated his 15th birthday on July 3rd. Sort of a wooden anniversary, what? Smoking is not permitted, at any time, in XBC studios, u-hich ex- plains why the studio patrol officer keeps a skeptical eye on Joe Laurie, Jr., comedian on Rudy Vallee's vari- ety hour. Joe smokes 12 to 1.5 cigars a day, and at rehearsal, keeps an un- lightcd cigar in his mouth. "He's afraid I'm going tn light it one of these days," Joe said. It is rumored around that our old friends Amos and .Ar dy of the tooth- paste fame w II have a change in programs on tho first of the year. It seems that while their sponsors are not tired of the Negro wit anl humor they think that some other sketch would at the present time bring them more dividends, so thoy are on the lookout for a kid show to replace the blackface comedians. Meanwhile it is said, tho A and A combination al- ready has a sponsor (name undis- closed) who wants them to sign on the dotted line. The Metropolitan Opera .\uditions of the air, which were so very popu- lar last fall, are planning to return to the air on October .Srd and it is stated that all tho prcliiuinary try- outs as well as the station auditions will be handled by Wilfred Pellotier. Wilf, by the way, was just recently married to the opera star Rose Barnpton. 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 quite long duration should be very interesting to all sport i'ans. The .Anglo-.American track meet which is held 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 bojie from Harvard and Yale. This meet is scheduled for 3 Around The Died RADIO HEADLINERS OF "^HE WEEK G. C MURRAY p.m., July 10th. Then there is the big boat race which is run at Nan- tucket, Mass., and is between T. 0. M. Sopwith, English challenging yacht and the American defender, the time for this great event will be broadcast at a later date. Annual Poll Radio Favorites T .Ijulation of the 1,500,000 votes ca:;t in Radio Guide's annual "'Star of Stars" election, just completed, shows that the .American radio audience still prefers comedy to e.-erything else on tho air. Jack Benny, winner of the "Star of Stars" title, also camo out on top in the comedians' division, just ahead of Eddie 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 music at least as far as songs are concerned. This is indi- cated by Nelson Eddy's amazingly high vote in several classifications. Second to Benny for the "Star of Stars" honor, Eddy was topt in the classical divi.don, second to Don -Amecho among the actors, fourth in the popular singers' rating. And Vick's Open House, which featured Nelson Eddy, ranked second among all musical programs, finishing just boh'nd Showboat! Wayne King's waltzez floated to the top of the orchestra pool, as usual, with Guy Lombardo second and Shep Fi.;lds third. Bing Crosby topped the male popular singers, fol- lowed by Lanny Ross and Kenny Baker. Frances Langford took top honors on tho feminine side, with Kate Smith ::eeond and Jessica Drag- onette third. Boake Carter was first in favor among tho commentators, and Doan- na Durbin wa;, voted the "most promising star." Paul Whiteman Feature Paul Whiteman, dean of modern music and glorifier of jazz, is now heard over the networks of the N. B.C. in a new Summer series of pro- grams presented twice weekly through this month, August and Sep- tember. This will be the first time the famed conductor, who set .America dancing to the tempo of jazz following the World War and then clothed the "noise" in symphonic drecii, has been heard in regular network broadcasts for almost a year. Jimmy Breaily, Whiteman's sen- sational high tenor discovery, and the "Swing Wing," the Three T's, is featured. In the "Swing Wing," Jackson Teagarden is the tromhon- i.st; Charles Teagarden the trumpet- er and Frank Teaga'-den, the saxo- phonist. Boake Carter Statistics Statistics and Boake Carter, CBS news analyst and commentator, are affinities at heart. Boake 1 kes no- thing better than juggling with elu- sive ilgures, and colossal rows r>t numerals seem to like Boake, for he has as neat a row of statistics to show for his eight years on the air as any one extant. Boake Carter figures that if all the words he has used since first facing tho stony-faced "mike" were laid end to end in 10 po nt Caslon they would reach 45 iles, or the distance from New York City to New Bruns- wick, New Jersey. In his eight years of dispensing his news co:i.;ncnts he has missed only two broadcasts, and during one week's ilHt-ss in a Philadelidiia hos- pital he broadcast his programme from the bedside- 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. Thoso who oppo?e 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. Ba.sset Hull, secretary of the Royal Zoological Society of New South Wales, who is leading She at- tack, bcl'oves that the birds, after eradicating the snails, will create havoc in orchards and hasten the ex- termination of native birds. â- 1 Testing his gl der for t::e ."iiaional Clii'er "leet at I'lmira, N.Y., Peter Hie.iel, Cierr r.n pilot i o.ued over Ne.v York after take-off from Randall's Islr.nd.
