Printed Textâ€"J os it. 1: 2-6’; 14-21 GOLDEN TEXT As for me and my house, we will serve Jehovah. Josh. 24: 15. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time:â€"Joshua lived from 1537 B.C.â€"1427 B.C. Place:â€"The Jordan River is that twisting, rapid body of water dividing eastern and western Pal- estine, flowing from the .Sea of Galilee to the Dead Sea in the south ; Shechem was located in Ephraim between mounts Ebal and Gerizim on the highway between Judaea and Galilee; Timnath-ser- ah was five miles southwest of Shechem, and seven miles north of Shiloh. Joshua appears in the Old Tes- tament narrative considerably be- fore the events' recorded in the first passage assigned in our les- son. Thus in Exod. 17: 9-14, we find him assigned by Moses the task of choosing men to go out and fight with Amalek, a conflict in which Joshua was victorious; in Exod. 24: 13, Joshua is called the “minister” of Moses, meaning “his helper”. The New Leader At' the command of the Lord Moses took Joshua, the son of Nun, in whom dwelt the Holy Spirit, and, setting1 him before Eleazar, the priest, and before all the congregation he laid his hands upon him and gave him a charge, the words, of which are recorded in Dent. 31: 7,8. Immediately upon the death of Moses, God finally confirms previ- ous promises to Joshua, and leads him into the great task immed- iately before him with a gloriously encouraging and strengthening message, 2. Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan.

Thou, and all this people, unto the land which 1 do give to them, even to the children of Israel. Palestine is re- ferred to as a gift of God nearly two hundred times in the Old Tes- tament, beginning as far back as the twelf th chapter of the book of Genesis. Five hundred years have now passed since that early prom- ise, and God is now about to bring to fulfillment the hopes of the children of Israel for a permanent home. 3. Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, to you have I given it, as I spake unto Moses. Cf. Dent. 11: 24; Josh. 14: 9, Land of Promise 4. From the wilderness. This wilderness is what is known as the wilderness of Arabia or the desert of Arabia, located to the south. And this Lebanon. This refers to the great mountain range known as the Lebanon Mountains far north in Syria.. Even unto the great river, the river Euphrates. The nearer of the two great rivers of Mesopotamia, about 1,780 miles long, mentioned as one of the rivers of the Garden of Eden (Gen. 2: 14). All the land of the Hittites. And unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun. This, of course, refers to the Med- iterranean Sea. Shall be your bor- der. This huge territory was nev- er fully occupied by the Israelit- ish people in all the hundreds of years that intervened between the conquest under Joshua and the Captivity under Nebuchadnezzar, eight hundred years later. 5.

HOW SOUNDS ARE MADE When you hear tl- : realistic thun- der rumbling or crashing explosions on a radio program, you have, no doubt wondered how they were made. This phase of radio work is one of great interest. Here’s the 1 w-down on the sound business. Thunderâ€"By beating a - woolly urumstick on an electrically charg- ed screen contacting a pickup, a very realistic thunder crash is made. Rainâ€"Is imitated by birdseed thrown of" a revolving dir- ted by a hopper into a chute. Airplaneâ€"Easy! Just massage a tom-tom with an electric vibrator. Horses’ Hoofs are Cups slapped in gravel; waves are dried peas shak- en in a screen. It all goes to show youâ€"you can’t even believe your - vn ears. New Special Events Unit Latest engineering development of the Canadiàfi Broadcasting Cor- poration is a new mobile broadcast- ing unit, an acquisition of the Cor- poration’s Special Events Depart- ment under R. T. Bowman, director. The unit, which was demonstrated last week to eastern Ontario news- papermen and" which is now enroule to Banff to do a series of National Parks broadcasts, will be used for the presentation of a wide variety of special programmes. It is be- lieved that it will assist materially in the development of important in- ternational exchanges and will he inavluable as a means of advertis- ing Canada abroad. 6. .Be strong and of good cour- age; for thou ahalt cause this peo- ple'to inherit the land which I sware unto their fathers to give them. One might say that Joshua was to be strong both negatively and positively â€" he was to be strong in resisting temptation, and he was to be strong in carrying out the task which God gave him. Approximately twenty-five years have passed since the death of Moses and the entrance of the children of Israel into Palestine. Joshua is now an old man (110 years of age). 14. Now therefore fear Jeho- vah, 'and serve him in sincerity and in truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt; and serve ye Jehovah. Put away all the images of the dead deities of the ancient world, who could never give to them one tiny par- ticle of all the grace and wealth that God had conferred upon them. Every Man’s Choice 15. And if it seem evil unto you to serve Jehovah, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fath- ers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Autor- ités, in whose land ye dwell. A choice not only must be made by men, but a choice is made by ev- ery man. All human life de- mands a God. The men most loud in their declaration today that there is no God and will not have God are worshipping a God all the time. Human life is so constructed that it cannot live without an object of devotion, something that appeals to desire and to which all life is responsive. But as for me and my house, we will serve Jehovah. A man of Joshua’s achievements, a man of his unquestioned character, a man to whom millions of Israelites had looked for guidance and leader- ship, that man has an enormous influence over others, and now he is, going to throw that influence, with all the power he possesses, into his pleading1 with the people of Israel to follow the only true and living God. 16. And the people answered and said, Far be it from us that we should forsake Jehovah, to serve other gods; 17. -For Jeho- vah our God, he it is that brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and that did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the peoples through the midst of whom we passed; 18. and Jehovah drove out from before us all the peo- ples, even the Amorites that dwelt in the land; therefore we also will serve Jehovah; for he is our God. 19. And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve Jehovah; for he is a holy God; he is a jeal- ous God; he will not forgive your transgression nor your sins. 20. If ye forsake Jehovah, and serve foreign gods, then he will turn and do you evil, and consume you, after that he hath done you good. Joshua, realizes that these peo- ple do not fully apprehend the profound significances and consequences of what they are saying. Joshua does not say that God will not forgive sin when sin is confessed and put away, but he does declare that he will not continue to bless his peo- ple and blot out their iniquities, or bear them away, if they con- Aâ€"C tin::a in their sin. and forsake the Lord their God. 21. And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve Jehovah. They repeated previous- ly expressed confidence in their own ability to serve the Lord and obey his law, and by their public protestation bare witness against themselves if they ever broke their engagement. Following1 this, Joshua set up a stone on this very spot, which for all the generations to follow would be a reminder to Israel of what had taken place that day. This Car Had A Live Squeak Every car has a “squeak” some- where. But John Adams Davis, of New York, owned a car with a very special kind of squeak. He oiled, be examined, he listened, but the squeak remained. Every time he went over a bump â€" squeak! In desperation, Mr. Davis took his car to the local garage. The experts looked it over, and even .they couldn’t detect any- thing. “Very well,” said Mr. Da- vis. “Dismantle the car, take the whole thing to bits. But find that squeak!” Discovers Polio Cure? ! Dr. J. Eugene Saint-Jacques, o£ Montreal, who has attracted world- wide attention to himself because of his successful experimentations with intravenous injections of ani- mal charcoal since 1933, has given, new hope to mankind, in declar- ing that he believed animal char- coal injected in the spine may prove a positive cure for infantile paralysis.
