Ho’brought.‘Israel but of the land
Egypt; led them through the
wilderness, and set up the tabor
nftcle worship; but could not take
th,aa over Jordon into the land of
Promise. Every great leader has
had to leave his work for his ■ suc
cesior to carry forward. Out of
every groat.life grows a work that
can not be finished in a life time.
The work is progressive, progress
makes demands for new qualities
in leadership. Moses by the
mighty miracle .working power,
could undo Pharioh and lend Israel
out, of Egypt across the Red sea,
and through the wilderness jour
ney Under Divine inspiration,
he could establish their worship,
and frame their . constitution.
He was disqualified by age, tom
perment and lack of military
equipment for entering Canaan,
and coping with giants and wall
ed cities. God knew when to
change the leadership of his -peo
ple, so he took Moses upon the
Mount Nobo, gave him ft vision of
the fair land of Canaan, let him
die, and hurried him out of sight
of all the people.
Every great movement demands
leadership, a successor, to Moses
must bo appointed. The selec
tion was not left to- the people.
Democracy may be good some
time, somewhere, but our modern
democracy has never been kno\v,n
in the, greatest movements and
achievements of the church. God
established a theocracy at the be
inni haB continued it with
ch of form to the
preS(>nt and will continue it to
t)w end of time< A]1 thc victories
of the church have been achieved
under theocratic leadership. God,
has thc appointing power of all
his leaders. In the exercise of
this authority God has invarably
disappointed the wisdom of his
people . The question of calling
aud qualifying leaders in the
church woul(i crea te
and generate politics among
people. Left to seleet, Moses sne

Joshua was not a novice in
leadership but entering! upon en
larked duties And responsibilities,
| e ‘ must have- divine ‘instruction
and encouragement. Success was
not to depend popularity simply, upon the
comparative of Mos<s
“and Joshua as leaders, bur upon
obecTience to God, and faith in
his promise and presence.
As a preparation for these new
and' enlarged ’testfc onsibilities,
God points out to Joshua the
qualities he must possess, and how
to attain them.
First, there must be faith in
God. This Joshua possessed in a
measure, but that faith must be
increased; so God says to him,
“Thebe shall not any man be able
to stand beforo thee all the days
of thH-ife- asT was with Moses,
so I will be with thee."
Second, courage ,is - indispensa
ble God says: “Bo strong and
of a good eburago, for unto this
people thou ehali divide the land.”
Third, there must he direction
of aim and singleness of purpose.
God says: “Turn not to the right
hand nor to the left.”
Fourth, there must be knowl
ed 'e and wisdom, God says: “This
b ok of the law.shall not depart
out of thy mouth ;but thou shalt
meditate therein day and. night.”
Having received; this charge, in
Joshua'had neither time nor
clination to ent cr upon a cam
paign of popularising himself with
the people. His orders were im
perative and urgent, So he “Com
manded the officers o? the people”
to “pass through the host, and
command the people, saying, pre
pare your victuals, for within
three days ye phnll pass over this
Jordan.”
The loyalty, of the people is
well expressed in the three last
verses of this chapter. “All that
thou eommandest us we will do,
and whithersoever thou sendest us
we will go. According as, we hear
kened unto Moses in all things,
qo will we hearken unto thee:
only the Lord thy God be with
thee, as he was with Moses.
AVhosoever he be that doth rebel
against thy commandment, snd
will uot hearken unto thy words
in all that thou eommandest him,
he shall be put to death; only be
strong and of good courage.”
The result was some of the won
derfu , achievements iu the histo
ry 0 f God’s people. In this ex
am pl e of leadership and loyalty,
we have a most useful lessons for
a jj ministers and churches. Let
each of us, in his place, study
this lesson, put it in practice, and
under Divine guidence, we will be
enabled to achieve great things
for our Lord, and his cause upon
earth.

The BlOOd Of ChNSt.
The word blood represents life—
the life ot the fbsh is in the
blood. Yon take a man’s blood
a!)d you take his life. There is a
“One drop of the blood,”
this liiymn teaches a false
for it took all of the blood of
Christ tc atone for sin; it took
his life. There is a crimson cord
that rur .8 through the Bible. Be
f 0 r« Adam was driven out of the
garden of Eden the blood of ani
ma ls had been shed, typical of
the shed blood of Christ. When

and a gult was opened. up between

Jesus Christ was the only one wl o

sinners, so through the "blood of

Real peace and complete recon
ciliation can only be obtained
through Christ. We are justified
by faith in His blood—“Much
more than, being now justified by
Tits blood, we shall Le saved from

Justification is a legal act and re

the blood of Christ, he is just as
just before God, as Jesus is just
before God. The sinner lias no

eous—lie becomes bur substitute,
so what,Jesus did is put down to
our account. Luther never
preached a serin 011 without men*
tinning the doctrine of justifica
tion by faith.
We are all lost. We can only
be redeemed by the blood of
Christ. “Iu whom we have re
demption. through his blood, thi
forgrvneos of sins,, according to
the riches of His grace.” Eph. 1:7.
Jesus has paid all the debt we
owed, He met all the demands of
the law, and we are completely
redeemed by His blood. “In whom
we have redemption through Hi%
blood, even the foreivness of siii3.”
Col. 1:14. “For as mach as ye
know that ye were uot redeemed
with corruptible things, as silver
and gold, trom vour vain conver
sation received by tradition from
yonr fathers: but with the pre
cious bloxl of Christ, as of a lamb
without blemish and without
spot.” 1 Pet. 1 :18:19
f ihe redemption through the
blood of Christ is eternal. It is a
comforting thought that, we are
kept by our God. “For I am per
suaded, that neither death, nor
life, nor angels, nor principali
ties, nor power, nor things pres
ent, nor things to come, nor
height, nor depth, nor any other
creature, shall be able to separate
us Horn the love of God, which is
in Christ Jesus our Lord-” Rom.
8:38:89. We are Cleansed by
blood of Christ. We are vile and
unclean—but the blood will make
us clean. “But if we walk in
the light, as He is in the light,
we have fellowship one with
auother, and the blood of Jesus
Chriit His son cleanseth us from
all sin.” l.Jno. 1:7. “These are
they which come out ot great
tribulation,and have washed tbtir
robe3, and made them white in
bloold of the lamb.” Rev. 7:14.
The record of our deeds is black
and condemnatory, but the bicod
will blot the status out of the
book and we are made free.
We cannot enter into the holy
of holies iu Heayen without the
cleansiug blood. “Having there
