INTRODUCTION--It is difficult to conceive the trigmphant feeling which the passage of the Red Sea called forth in Israel, The Israelites re- arded it as a signal act of God's avor and lovingkindness towards them, Their sense of gratitude was fittingly voiced in a psalm of praise on the shores of the sea, Exod, cha| ter 15. But after the Red Sea, tl wilderness! "That great and terrible wilderness," as it is so frequently called in Deuteronomy. Here they were exposed to privations and dan- gers on every hand, fierce roving tribes, whose hand vas against every man, wild beasts lurking in secret lairs, the oppressive heat of great, sun-smitten spaces, and the scarcity of water. The problem of water very soon engaged their attention. But God, in his lovingkindness, turned the bitter waters of Marzh to a pleasant Sweetness, Exod. 15: 22-25, In short, God was with them as they attempted to revert, meanwhile, to the difficult conditions of nomadic life. I. MURMURING, vi. 1-3. The Israelites, having left the oases of Elim, were now in the wilderness of Sinai. Almost immediately the problem of food supply--always- one of the most urgent problems of desert life--became acute. No mention of made that provisions had been brought from Egypt, and even had there been some supplies brought along, they would be very soon co sumed. So ab- sorbed weve the men of Israel in the distress of the moment that they for- got swiftly and completely their joy- ous sense of gratitude that God had brought them through the Red Sea. Face to face with the diffiamlties f I'fe it is hard to sustain for very long an exalted spiritual 1100d. So these hunger-stricken Israelites turned against Moses and Aaron, their lead- ers, blaming them severely for having ever induced them to leav: Egypt, where they had had plenty, and to come into the wilderness, where they had almost nothing. Although their murmuring was ostensibly against Moses and Aaron, it was in reality against God; for Moses and Aaron were but servants under him. Hunger made the Israelites' memory, perhaps also their imagination, lively; they recalled fondly the "flesh-nots" of Egypt. Most people in Bible-lands lived on a vegetable fare, but in Egypt the Israelites had enjoyed flesh. They were well off there, whereas in the wilderness they were likely to die of starvation! II. "BREAD FROM HEAVEN," vs, 4, 5. The world's problem has ever been the problem of bread, but it is one in which God, the Sustainer of 'he Uni- verse, and the sleepless Keeper of his people, is directly interested. He heard Israel's cry and promised them "bread from heaven." What could this be? A promise co vague was de- signed to stimulate their curiosity and t make them vizilant for its oming. 1: their careful attention to the dircc- tions laid down for gathering t, their obedience and their trust in God would be put to the test, v. 4. Now when God gives bread from Heaven, there is sufficient for each day--but no more, If Tsrael followed God's direc- tions there would be no daiger of hanger nor chance for hoarding. Each day would have its labor of gathering, and each day its sufficient supply. God's command, "Gather a certain rate every day," is the Old Testa- ment counter, ast of the petiion in the Lord's Prayer, "Give as this day our daily bread." Evidently the i thering of the manna involved hard labor. No mauna fell on the Sabbath, but twice as much on the preceding day. The conditions under which the manna was given reminded Israel that the Satbath was to be kept sacred, even in the wilderness. III. con's PENSIONERS, vs. 14, 15, 35. Since the Israelites had had no pre- vious experience with this "bread from heaven" they exclaimed, on see- ing it, "Manna," which means, in He- brew, "What is this?"

Luray, Va.--A hen which prefs kittens to baby chicks and which de- prived a cat in this vicinity of its six young ones has caused something of a sensation hereabout. The hen is the property of John Short of Alma She found her nest occupied by a cat and half a dozen 'new-born kittens, and promptly chas- ec the cat out. Taking possession of the kittens, the hen firmly refused to allow their mother to get them again. "This kept up for two weeks, ac- cording to the story, during which period the kittens had to be taken from the hen's nest at mealtime and given access to their mother. Sixteen incubator chicks were put into the nest in an effort to alienate the affec- tions of the hen, but she was not in- terested.

SO \ 7a \ -- ™a HAN ENDORSED BY THE WICKERSHAM COMMITTOG AND CERTIFIGD BY ™HE SUPREME Cour oF TH& UNITED STATES BUT You'sL STILL STAY out | In London are to be fous the oldest businesses in the world. | The famous firm of candle-makers, J. C. and J. Field, for instance, can take its history back in a direct line to Thomas Field, who started a candle- making business at Lambeth early in the fifteen hundreds. Exactly when is not known, but he retired in 1581. Old records show that at the time of the Armada his firm worked at high pressure to supply candles for Sir Francis Drake's ships at Plymouth, The present factory stands on the site of the works started hy Thomas Field. In 165656, one Abraham Field suc- ceeded to the business. The firm them supplied the candles used in the Royal palaces and in the theatres, including Drury Lane. Nell Gwynne was born and lived within a few yards of the Field factory. The Whitefriars Glassworks has been at work for more than two hun- dred and fifty years continuously, the original works having been founded just after the Great Fire of London. A firm of stationers, Messrs. Blirrup Mathieson, and Co., celebrated their three-hundredth anniversary of tha foundation of their business in 1928. Ever since 1628 they have been sup- plying the merchants and bankers of London. Their premiSes were burned down in the Great Fire, but the firm soon started again. The famous firm of chemists, M-essrs. Allen and Hanbury, can trace their history back to 1704, though the business in its present form was found- ed in 1715. The first Allen in the firm joined it in 1795. While he was shaving; his daughter used to read to him in Latin, and after breakfast hig sister read to him in French. SHOOT SNIPE IN REGENT ST. Messrs. Hedges and Butler, the wine merchants, began business in 1667, when the rent of their premises was £12 12s. 6%d. half-yearly, less a tax of 7s. 10d. Tradition says that in one of the original leases there was a clause against the shooting of snipe Lon Sundays: Snipe im Regent Street! Another firm which has a connection with Sir Francis Drake is that of Messrs. Mears and Stainbank, the bell-founders, whose business was es- tablished in 15670, or a little before. Many of the church bells made by the founder of the business are still in use, The founder, Robert Mot, also cast great cannon for Sir Francis Drake's fleet. Messrs. Barker, the coachbuilders, began work in 1710, the business having been founded by an officer in the Guards. They used to build coaches, chaises and cabriolets, but now they make motor-car bodies. When the firm of Heal started as furniture-makers the original lease of the Tottenham Court Road prem- ises contained a proviso that stabling for forty cows must be provided, for at the back of the shop was a large farm. Two hundred and twenty-five years in the Strand is the remarkable reec- ord of Messrs, R. Twining and Co., the tea and coffee merchants, whose foun- der started the business near Temple Bar in 1706. An attractive illustrated booklet telling the romantic story of the firm has just been issued. The oldest business in the British .sles appears to be that of Messrs. Rathborne, candle-makers, of Dublin. This was taken over by Messrs. Lever Brothers, Ltd., in 1913, but prior te that the business had been in the hands of one family for 425 years, al- ways passing from father to son. m------ it The English School When we are talking about an Eng- lish school we never ask first who are the great scholars it has pro- duced; we inquire what kind of people it turns out into society, The issue is the school itself, ra- ther than the lessons given in its classrooms. This is part of the Eng- lish educational tradition that those growing up should learn the princip- les of membership of society. We have the fullest and wholesomeat education of any country, although we think so little about it. The Scots are always telling us how well educated they are, but I don't believe their tradition has so full & supply of all the elements that really matter as the English tradition. I am perfectly certain that the German tradition, great as it is, is very de- fective in comparison. --By the Arch bishop of York. ------ 7 PER CENT OF MARRIAGES F " ' Organizers of a divorce club in Budapest discovered that 7 per cent, of Hungary's marriages end in the courts and that 15,000 cases are pend- ing. rmerniei---- LOTS OF HORSES YET.
