dotv NG His Great Work a Aaron also heard the call of God, who sent him into the wilderness. to meet his brother Moses. They met in the mount of God, and Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord who had sent him, and all the> signs which he had commanded him. _â€"The S. S. Lesson f The Seventh Contest About the middle of January, when the barley was in the ear, the. Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt: There was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a naâ€" tion. . Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Isracl were, was there no hail. The Plague of Locusts Early in March. The highly elecâ€" trical storms begin 25 days before the vernal equinox. The ecast winds brought the locusts. prought the I0OCUSUS. Moses stretched forth his rod ‘over Egypt. An east wind brought locusts over the whole land. Pharaoh again besged for forgiveness and _ respite. Moses sees another difficulty: Beâ€" hold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them â€"The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you, and they shall say â€"to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto, them ? _ Now the time. had come for the Hebrews to take possession of their promised land, which the Lord â€" had _promised again and again to Abraham «and hisyd@scendants, F Difficulties Overcome The Voice of God from the Burnâ€" ing Bush: Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, and say unto Pharaoh, "Let my people go!" ; Moses, objecting: Who am I,, that I should go unto Pharoah ? That same power before which Mosâ€" es was hiding his face would go with him to confront his enemies. _ |â€" / _ Moses: But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto: my voice. Moses\ beseeches the Lord! to â€"send aAnybody rather than himself. God answers Moses‘ difficulty; God said unto Moses, I am that I am. What He had promised to their fathers stood sure in the history of the fuâ€" tureâ€"as sure to stand as the everlastâ€" ing hills. This is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all genâ€" erations. S 4 Moses had another difficulty in his way: O my Lord, I am not eloâ€" quent.. { = The â€" Lord was > indignant â€" with Moses; and he said: Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? (He shall ‘be thy spokesman. Moses was satisfied, and was willâ€" ing to go. He had been for so many years a shepherd in the. wilderness, without companions, that he had lost «confidence â€" in his persauve speaking. The Duel ‘The question at issue was the Freeâ€" »jom of a Ntaion. . Will Egypt perâ€" mit the Israelites to go free to their Promised Land? f Â¥e shall serve \God upon this mountain. This would also be a token... ‘ _ The Lord: answers by miracles of divine power. ~ But Pharaoh‘s heart was hardenâ€" ed, and he stlll refused to let the Isâ€" raclites go. The Lord‘s answer: Who hath made man‘s mouth? Have not I? s Boils with Blains Blains were ulcers,â€" open sores. Probably the bubonic plague, which attacks animals as well as man. t The First Contest In June, when the Nile was at a low stage. Pharaoh, walking on the banks of the Nile in tha field of Zoan, refused to lep the people go. The Second Contest | In the early autumn, â€"September, when the Nile had ~risen to its height. Again Pharaoh is threatenâ€" ed but refuses to let the péople go. The Plague of Lice * In:September or October. Aaron with his rod ‘smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man and beast, throughout all the land of Egypt. This plague also was threatoned beâ€" forehand, and the separation also made between the cattle of the people of Israel and of the Egyptians. Pharaoh sent messengers into Gosâ€" hen, ‘"and behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead." But he did not let the people go. The Plague of Flies The plague is to be confined to Egypt; no swarms of flies are to come into éoshen, that "thou mayest know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth." The Cattle Plague «_ In November: ‘‘The pestilential effects of decaying matter spread by flying insects." PA an en e t While the, outdoor‘ life was conâ€" firming that ‘ physical â€" vigor â€"which was so marked a _ »characteristic â€" of hig'old age, he was becoming thorâ€" .\puglhly}fanliliar with the , regions where for . forty years he was to guide his people. . ‘_ During those years in the desert his own character‘ was greatly ) enâ€" riched, his headstrong will was subâ€" dued, and he learned that â€" lesson so necessary for all leaders to learn, the lesson of patience. 3 His failure to arouse the oppressâ€" ed Hebrews, who saw in him an Egyptian prince and , soldier . rather than one ready to help them, was a very: bitter draught for Moses to drink. (With the best intentions, he yet knew that he had failed. . From a prince he had become a shepherd, and remained in that humble posiâ€" tion for nearly 41;0 years. There were excellent lessons to. larn, from his shepherd work. 5 ' .. Moses in School 2 Moses: had learned all he â€" could as a prince in the palace of the Pharâ€" aohs, and as a general of their army. But there was need that he. should learn a number of other lessons in the wilderness that could nver be taught in Egypt. The. place of meeting of Pharaoh with Moses and Aaron was on the field of Zoan, a rich plain extending 30 miles. _ Pharoah‘s palace was doubtless at Zoan on the! eastern branch of the Tanitic branch of the Nile. ‘The Burning.Bush was in the viâ€" ginity of Mt. Sinai. / PAGE SIX Professor Beecher places the date of this lesson at the close of the reign of Rameses II. and the beginâ€" ning of the reign of His son Mernepâ€" tah, about B.C. 1501â€"1499. .

A report from the chief inspector of British Immigrant Children and Reâ€" ceiving Homes, the total enlistment of immigrant boys in the Canadian forces equals mearly. 25 per cent. of all the boys who came to Canada. At a meeting of the parishioners of the Church of the Advent, Scarâ€" lett Plains, last night, it was decided to appeal to the Bishop of the Dioâ€" cese of Toronto ‘to allow them to beâ€" come a separate parish. This church has been a mission of St. John‘s Church, St. John‘s Road, being one of four started in the west by. the late Rev. T. Beverley Smith, the first missionary in charge being Rev. Ralph S. Mason, now of the S.S. deâ€" partment of the Anglican Church in Canada. One church was built but removed from the â€" present site . on Pritchard Avenue, because‘ of the smoke from the C. P. R. roundhouse, and the too adjacent position. The congregation in the new building thrived under Rev. F. J. Lynch, who, however, resigne;i recently because of ill health. The present missionary is Rev. H. Naylor. "The Mount Dennis and â€" Weston Branch of the G. W. V. A. held their first annual Christmas treat and conâ€" cert last Saturday, which proved to be a great success, nearly 500 lambs of the defenders of civilization tramped into the Kodak auditorium to meet good old Santa Claus, who came from Pte. James Millar, who has been a prisoner of. war since the battle of St. Julien, arrived in‘ England on Dec. 26th. This good news was received by his parents at 22 Cobalt Ave. He went across with the 48th Highlanders in the first contingent. His brother, wpo returned from the front a short time ago, is carrying on a very successful cartage business. The many friends of the family hope for a speedy reâ€" union after the trying experiences of the past few years.

Considerable amusement was created when the unmasking comâ€" menced and the finding out of who was who revealed many mistaken identities. After all expenses were paid. a creditable sum still remained, which was turned over to aid the children‘s fund of the district. ~ The Lord brought a west wind which carried all the locusts into the Red Sea. But Pharaoh after all refused to let the people go. The Plague of Darkness The Ninth Contest: The electrical storms charged with the darkening dust kept blowing into April. Whatâ€" ever the natural basis, like that of the London fogs, or clouds of sand from the desert, the intense darkâ€" ness was supernatural in its intensity, and perhaps also the nervous depresâ€" sion which often accompanies it. The effect was increased by the fact that Goshen was exempt. Pharaoh was so deeply impressed that he yielded a little more than beâ€" fore, and offered to let the people go with théir children, provided they. left their flocks and herds in Egypt.

Toronto The Salvation Army has for 53 years been organized on a military basisâ€"inured to hardship, sacrifice and service. It is always in action, day and night. It has maintained Military Huts, Hostels and Rest Rooms, providing food and rest for tens of thousands of soldiers each day. 1,200 uniformed workers and 45 ambulances have been in service at the frontâ€"in addition to taking care of the needs of soldiers‘ families here at home, assisting the }Vidc;lws and orphans, and relieving distress arising from the absence of the soldier head of the family. § Notwithstanding all the Government is planning to do, notwithstanding the pensions and the relief work of other organizations, hundreds of cases of urgent human need are constantly deâ€" manding the practical help the Salvation Army is trained and equipped to render.
