THE ORE AT OPPORTUNITY.
The day of opportunity Is usually like

was the opportunity of Israel; because It
failed to measure up to that importunity It
had to undergo a dcstluy of forty hard
years In the wilderness—years filled with
funerals, until every man who had reached
iinturlty ere Kudesh-burnca was nttnlned

being afraid.

Prcsldeut Hnrrisou never uttered. This
point might be enlarged upon to the extent
of a column, hut It Is enough to say that
there Is grave reason why all representa

facte, after the manner and admonition of
Moses.

however, were really cowardice. It was
the fear within their own breaat* that con
