James Gibson These giants were nothing to fool with. And armed cities. You just do not go dashing up to armed cities, surrounded by towering walls and expect them to come toppling down, so you can walk right in and plunder them. It is all right to talk about the past but you must be practical. But what about Caleb? Oh he is a bit fanatical. He is somewhat of a visionary, he is sort of different from other people. God said, "He was a man of another spirit". The story is told of a fond mother who was watching her son's regiment in the parade. As they swung by in time to the band she cried out, "Oh, look, they're all out of step but my Johnny." That was like Caleb. Thousands of people marching in perfect harmony and rhythm. All of them crying out "It's no use, we are not able, big giants, walled cities, men break, give up." While Caleb strides along, all out of step with the rest. "We are well able to possess the land. Lets get going God is on our side. Don't forget the milk and honey. Look at those grapes". What a man. What faith. All the rest see the giants, Caleb sees the grapes. The rest see the impossibilities of the situation. Caleb sees the promise of God. He was pitifully out numbered. A man whose opinion was ridiculed. Who knew all the difficulties and in the face of everything maintains his faith in God. A man 6f another Spirit. Have you ever thought how different he was from most others in another way? He was on the verge of entering the land. He was eager, excited and confident. He had gone through the land, nibbling at the fruit, drinking its sparkling waters, tasted the figs and the grapes, the milk the mr ey, in blissful anticipation soon settling down to enjoy it the full. And then, while fuOy following the Lord, the blow fell. For forty long, dreary, monot- , glo< s. In the presence of murmering, disease and death. He was kept from the greatest desire of his heart. How did he react? You know how i of us would react in such a uation. We would just simply give up. But what of Caleb. Not a vestige of a root of bitterness at being turned aside. And this is even move remarkable when we realize that it was not his own failings or sin that he compelled to suffer. But because of the sin and unbelief of others. He turns up smiling on the other side of the long trial, with his faith in God just as bright and shining as ever. He could wholly and fully follow the Lord through the gloom and disappointments as well as the victorious sunshine. What of you and I? We may be called upon to go through trial and testings. There may be dark valleys ahead. The actions of others may affect us and oy us. How will we take it? Oh if we only had the Caleb spirit, energing from each test with a stronger faith in God. In Joshua we read how the wilderness and the wanderings are all over. They have now crossed the Jordan river into the land of promise. The Children of "Caleb where • art thou?" We the land. Caleb, 85 years old, is right in line for his position. For 45 years he had awaited this moment. God had kept him alive according to His promise. Many were thinking as he strode forward. "Theres old grandfather Caleb, my he's been a faithful old fellow, but he is getting pretty old. They had better pick out some easy spot for his to possess." But not Caleb! Listen to the old war horse of Faith. "Give me Hebron," he says. The mountain with the walled cities and the giants. Give me the place that scared them all stiff 45 years ago. I've been just waiting to get a whack at those giants And the old man of 85 picks the toughest spot on the map of Can-He was fully persuaded that God was able. You and I pick the easy spots. If things looks fairly easy and reasonable we think there may be a chance. "Caleb where art thou?'" We We have a few Hebrons today walled off with materialism and populated by the giants of false cults and isms. Oh! for a baptism of Anothers spirit, for this doubting generation of Christians. the giants, and wmSn others were in need he gave them springs of water. Most Christians never fully enter in to all that is available for them in the new life. We have riches that are never drawn upon. We are dependent on others to spoon feed us. We never come to the position where we can be a blessing to others. And yet that is what God wants for every believer. It is the thing to which He will bring us, if we believe Him and go forward in Faith. Christ says in John 7: 38 "He that believeth in Me as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall ilow rivers of living water." Are we possessing over in heri-tance. Let us lay hold oh the promise of God. In His strength to tackle our giants. In His strength to occupy mountains. Do it in spite of the ridicule and unbelief of others. Let us be men of another spirit. eva Bonisteel, Doug Wright. 13. William J. Nesbitt Memorial Award, Marilyn Hall, Mrs. Dewey 14. Honour Graduation Diplomas, Mr. Ewing, Mr. Baxter. 15.
