Sunday School. Commentary.â€"1. Joshua commissioned as Israel‘s leader (ve. 12.) 1. Nowâ€"This | indicates a close connection with what {::eedes. It is quite probable that the k of Joshua originally began with the last chapter of Deuteronomy. After the deathâ€"After the thirty days‘ mournâ€" ing were over. The servant of the Lord â€"This was the official title of Moses, as invested with a special mission to make known the will of God, and conferred great honor and authority.â€"J., F. & B. The Lord spakeâ€"The Lord did not speak with Joshua face to face as he did with Moses, but probably through the high priest (Num. 27; 18%22.) Joshuaâ€""His name was originally Hoshea, Salvation, or Help. To this was added afterward the prefix *‘Jeh,‘ Jehovah, and his name became Jehoshra, shortened into Joshua â€"Salvation from Jehovah." This name in the Greek is Jesus, and in Acts 7; 45 and Heb. 4; 8 Joshua is called _ Jesus. "Moses the ‘lawgiver‘ led Israel to the border, Joshua the prototype of Jesus brought them over." Joshua was born in the land of CGoshen, in Egypt. He was a descendant of Joseph, through Ephraim. At this time he was about eightyâ€"four years of age. He was distinguished for his courage, faith and picty. "All hbis past life was a preparation for the great work to which he was now called. He never could have done the work, he never would have been called to it, had he not been faithful, active, ready to learn, and always doing his best. He that is faithful over a few things will be made ruler over many things. This is the only ladder upward. 8o it always has been and _ always will be."â€"Peloubet. Hon of Nunâ€"Nothing is known of Nun only that he was of the tribe of Ephâ€" raim. Moses‘ ministerâ€"It was customâ€" ary for great prophets to be thus atâ€" tended by ministers or servants. Thus had Joshua been trained in the best posâ€" sible school.â€"Steele. Moses was the servant of Jehovah and Joshua the minâ€" ister of Moses. A servant is less honorâ€" able than a minister, but it is unspeakâ€" ably greater to be Jehovah‘s servant than the prime minieter of the greatest earthly potentate.â€"Terry. 2.

Accordingly, in=*ead of enjoining Israel to strike their tents, Joshua turns his attention to providing needful supâ€" and as 5. Not any many etec.â€"What a promise is this! He was to have victory in every conflict. But the divine promize implies a condition. See vs. 7â€"9. I will be with theeâ€"Joshua needed no other allies, but he needed these promises. A crisis had arrived in the history of the nation, and he knew that Jehovah alone could bring them into their promised inheritance. Not fail theeâ€"1. God‘s presence gives constant victory.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS. Precepts to Keep. "Arise" (v. 2). "Moses" was "dead" but Johua must not sit down and grieve. He must arise "to nobler manhood, to diviner power, to higher conceptions, to BP Aeee e ie Oe on IP the manna did not cease until several days after this, yet the supernatural supply probably began to decrease as the natural supply _ increased. . "God never works miracles as a premium to indolence." within three daysâ€"Compare "Be strong" (v. 6). ‘There is no such bulwark as the truth; no such power as comes from the consciousness of doing right no such strength as the man posâ€" sesses whose conscience is clear, Men in whom God dwells are as truly unâ€" harmed by evil as they are by the storms that only wet their . cheeks. Against the snares and plottings of wild Canaan, Joshua was secure. God was with him. Against him Philistia gnashed her teeth in vain. Before him the prowâ€" ess of Amorite kings lost its venom, The world cannot crush God‘s children; it can crucify, but it cannot guard their tomb,. It can crown with thorns, but it cannot, with all its might, cast off the crown of the just. It can build bonfires, make dungeons, and sharpen sabres, but it cannot weaken their faith who count such things all joy." "Do" (v. 7). We are to cultivate the habit of constant obedience even in the minutest particular. It has been suggestâ€" ed concerning Daniel‘s habit of prayer that it had much to do with his strength and courage when the test came, "As he did aforetime" so it was comparatively éasy for him to do (Dan. 6. 10). Tol have the courage to obey God implicitly in everything we must do it from strong princine. Once when _ Spurgeon _ was spending Sunday in Bristol, to obtain funds for the tabernacle, then building, he received two invitations to dinner; one from a former parishioner, a _ poor but devoted Christian, the other from a wealthy gentleman who had made exâ€" tensive preparations and invited distinâ€" guished friends to meet the great preachâ€" er. Mr. Spurgeon decided to take dinner in the quiet home. The disappointed host was angry and refused to subscribe any money for the tabernacle. Mr. Spurgeon made no reply to those who told him. His trust was in the God he had obeyed. When the corner stone of the new taberâ€" nacle was laid, there was placed upon it $5,000 with this message from the rich man, "Tell Mr. Spurgeon I honor _ his principle; I believe him to be truly & Christian minister, for he was _ not ashamed to keep the Sabbath unto the Lord." praying over every line and word. "Be..of a good courage" (v. 9). Courâ€" age is an essential requisite for leaderâ€" ship. When C. F.

"I shall trr to preach acceptably," answered the clergyman. No sooner had he said the words than he realized that they lacked the Spirit of his Master, and adred ulhiekly, "I shall preach the W as I ve it and understand it, if you h"to“p’u.uhw sing, I h'el:l’l' be most 1i t them. “l‘-pl,’}‘:ld‘ the Oo--fl and endâ€" ed the interview.

Communiâ€" cations from the labor men at Victoria are to the effect that the same course will be pursued there. At a meeting toâ€"day final instructions were given to the delegates who will attend the Doâ€" minion â€" Trades and Labor Congress which opens at Winnipeg next Monday. Messages were read from almost every corner of Canada, uttering full sympathy with the white men in their struggle to preserve British Columbia as a white man‘s country. _ The suggestion . was made by several that, if necessary, &A huge strike all over Canada should be ealled in order to show that this was not omly a local, but a national affair. The delegates from Vancouver will ask the Labor Congress to demand that the Canadian Government take immediate steps to have nullified that portion of the treaty which allows the colored races to enter Canada on the same footâ€" ing as white men, and to substitute rigid exelusion Ottawa, Sept. 16.â€"The following _ teleâ€" gram received toâ€"day by â€" Sir Wilfrid Laurier is the only one so far received by the Premier from Mayor Bethune, of Vancouver: â€""At a special meeting of Council the following â€" resolution was passed : _ " Telegram of O9th â€" received.

No such telegram as the one referred to in the press despatches from Vanâ€" couver toâ€"day, asking if the Government will pay the expenses of housing the inâ€" coming Hindus in the Drill Hall, has been received by Sir Wilfrid. Reports received by the Department of Trade and Commerce show that during August the total arrrivals of Japanese reported at Victoria were 390, of whom 351 were males. Of these 102 were en route for the United States, leaving a net total for Canada of 288. During the first seven days of Septemâ€" ber 395 Japanese arrived at Victoria, 102 of whom proceeded to the United States. The net immigration of Japanese to Canada for this year up to September 7. as reported to the Department of Trade and Commerce from Victoria, is about 3,200. Vancouver, B.

Toronto, Sept. 16.â€"Oriental labor on the Pacific slope and western financial considerations are touched upon in an interesting interview with Mr. E. F. B. Johnston, K. C., who has just returned from a somewhat extended visit geross the continent. "Speaking of the labor troubles," he said, "I heard a great deal from Loth sides on the question. The labor men object to the Chinese and Japanese being engaged in any kind of work. ‘That poâ€" sition is, of course, unreasonable, because if earried out it would mean that no work would be done at ali, except at the dictation of the unions. Canadians who can get all the work they want reâ€" fuse to do it. Strikes and other diifi eulties have occurred, and it seems raâ€" ther anomalous that men who vill not do the work themselves except on their own terms should object to oth»r people doing it. _ There is plenty of work tor everybody who is willing to undertake it. _ The ery against the Orieutals is largely from the working elesient, and the neutral position taken by the Proâ€" vincial politicians is due to the item of votes. The whole Japanese and Chinese residents in Victoria put together and set to work on various undertakings would not interfere for one hour with the privileges or the earning power of the white man who is willing to work on a reasonable basis. I believe that to a very large extent, if not wholly, the present trouble arises from the attitude of many of the Britâ€" ish Columbia politicians. . If the Chinese and Japanese had votes I think you would see a different state of affairs. "The labor problem does not appear to me to be either a difficult or a very serious one if dealt with on a sensible basis. The grave part of the situation is that the whole Dominion can be disâ€" turbed and the peaceful condition of the citizens upset by 50 or 100 rioters, who, I venture to say, have little or no stake in the country, and mnay of whom, judging by their actions, are not a credit to it or to themselves. I am strongly in favor of giving Canadians all reasonable labor protection, but I cannot assent to the proposition that the demands of any particular class must be granted, regardâ€" less of consequences to the country at Hindoos Have Money.

Magâ€" istrate Brown has received a letter frour Mr. Ardagh, who defended the union in the recent cases, stating that in acâ€" cordance with the agreement arrived at he had consulted his senior partners, notably Mr. Du Vernet, and as the reâ€" sult they have notitied Mr. Roadhouse that he has the undeniable right to free speech, public or otherwise, so long as lne restmcted himself to questions of inâ€" dustrial unionism and refrained from calling on any workmen to strike and from urging violence, intimidation or any other unlaywful measures., The letter also asserted $hat Mr. Brown had acted entirely without jurisâ€" diction, and in any future action he might take he would be liable for a perâ€" sonal action for damages. ‘They had also communicated with the North Bay Magâ€" istrate that as he had also acted withâ€" out jurisdiction he was also liable for personal damages. _ _ Last night Organizer Roadhouse held a meeting at Haileybury with the obâ€" ject of forming a branch of the Federaâ€" tion there among men engaged in the building trades., Mr. Hamilton, postâ€" master â€" of ileybury, accepted Mr. Roadhouse‘s cm{;e tg’ debate, and deâ€" clared that t?fiy did not want any unions in Haileybury. _ No union was formed. # Last night« Organizer Roadhouse deâ€" clared that during the week $2,000 was received from the central organization at Denver, $3,500 from the locals, and that 269 more locals were to be heard from.

Rowley served exactly four years. His pardon was kept a complete secâ€" ret. Rowley‘s defalcation came to light at the time of the Atlas Loan smash. He was arrested and brought to trial on July 25, but at the request of the crown sentence _ was â€" deferred _ three weeks to allow Rowley to aseist the liquidators in investigating the books of the weerked company. At the time of his sentence Rowley pleaded for leniency in order that he might endeavor to repay at least some of the money he had taken from those who trusted him.
