The Foolish Way
And the Wise Way
of Sa\ ing Money
THERE ARK TWO WAYS of saveing your money—the
foolish way anil the wise way. The foolish way is to put it
where lire, theft or other calamity can lake it from you
in a second. The wise way is to put it in a bank of good
staudiug like ours, where it is taken care of in tire and burg
lar proof vaults. Follow the example of the best business
men and farmers in this district—start an account here at
once—it is also the straightest road to success and wealth.

Miriam’s Leadership.
I. The Accusation, vv. 1, 2. This
Is not the first nor the last time a
marriage has caused a family quarrel.
Who this Ethiopian woman was we
are not told, though we are inclined
to believe that It was Zlpporah (Ex.
2:21), and not a second wife whom
Moses married recently. Of all peo
ple we would least expect Jealousy to
show Itself In this family circle,
among these the chosen leaders of
Israel. Nothing so hinders the work
of God, or gives more delight to the
devil, than Just such a situation as
this one. It brings confusion and de
lay (v. IB). The occasion was not.
however, so much the wife of Moses
ns It was envy of Moses (Bee Luke
22:24-26; I Cor. 1:11-15, and 3 John
9, 10). It may have been that Moses
was culpable, for no man Is perfect
(Roig. 3:23), but Mtrlam and Aaron
were not his Judges. We must re
member In this connection last Sun
day’s lesson wherein tve had present
ed such a radical change In the form
of government. Miriam and Aaron
were desirous of having an equal
place with Moses and because he did
a thing they could not understand
tboy criticised him (Rom. 14.3, 4;
Jude 8).
11. The Arrest, vv. 4, 6. ’’The Ix>rd
heard It” (v. 2. 1 c.) Ood hears what
we say tn crttlclsm of those whom he
has set over us. Instead of being
Jealous of the preference accorded to
others we ought to rejoice (Phil. 2:3).
Though we are free to admit such a
course often proves the measure of
his grace In our hearts. Ood did not
let this matter stand nor run the
course of Idle gossip. He at once,
and In person, came down to cham
pion the cause of Moses (v. 5, see
also 10:20, 21).
Me Saw Jehovah.
111. The Arraignment, vv. 6-8. Je
hovah pointed out very clearly not
only the difference between them and
Moaea. but also between Moses and
all other prophets. They were proph
ets, so was Moses, and more. To the
irophets God revealed himself In
visions (see Ezek. 1:1, Isa. 6:1. Dan.
S:2. Luke 1:11), and many other simi
lar Instances, but with Moses God
Bpako "mouth to mouth even mani
festly,” that Is. others heard God's
voice speaking audibly to Moses (EX.
19:19 and 33:11). This voice waa
clear and dlstlnot, It did not demand
any Interpretation. Verse 8 does not
Imply that Moses had a full revela
tion of the person of Jehovah, but he
did have a visible manifestation of
the similitude (“form" R. V.) of God
(John 1:18).
IV. Judgment, vv. 0, 10. The de
parting cloud from off the tabernacle
was a token of God’s displeasure. Let
us not forget that future time when
It will bo others who will depart
(Matt. 25:41). The lifted cloud re
vealed to Aaron Miriam amltten with
leprosy, that most terrible of all dis
eases. loathsome, contagious, Incur
able. . Read the stories of Naaman
and Dzrtah
Aaron's Sin.
V. Intercession, vv. 11-16. Aaron
In his appeal to Moses acknowledges
his equal transgression with Miriam,
his foolishness and his ain, and In
turn Moses revealed his noble Christ
like character Christ prayed for his
enemies (Luke 23-34). Moses was
not overcome of evil but overcame
evil with good tßom. 12:12). Hts
prayer was an effectual one (James
6:161. Some have viewed this epi
sode In a typical Ught. Moses repre
senting Christ Is rejected by his own
people: the Ethiopian bride as the
church, chiefly Gentiles; Aaron and
Miriam as Jews opposed to any such
union, the leprosy as divine Judg
ment upoir the Jews who are Inter
ceded for by those whom they oppose:
the Christian church; Miriam shut
out of the camp, the period of Is
rael's rejection after wtrtefc period
■be will be restored to her land and
bar God In Christ Jesus.
This lesnnn la a great teaching of
the Jealousy of Jehovah for those
upon whom he confers honor. We
serve him by his appointment and
he win defend us. We should think
highly of any service to which he
call* us and say with Paul, "I magnify
mine olßfce." God will not hold those
gsiXleas who call in question the
wisdom of his appointments or the
rights of his appointees who do his
work. Miriam and Aaron broke the
tenth commandment by coveting au
thority. Let us beware of this form
of sin. each envy Is not only a lack
pf lore for man hut also of God.

TEXT—Who touched met— Luke 8:.
The story of
gthls nameless
woman and the
healing Is found
that of St. Mark;
In fact, It Is one
cartoons which
this evangelist
uses In describing
the work of
Christ. Of all the
characters In the
gospel this nameless woman is the
most touching, and her attitude
toward Josus, his treatment of her, and
the gracious results serve as encour
agement to anyone who doubts his fit
ness for approach to Christ or his wor
thiness to receive anything from
Christ.
It Is the story of a miracle by the
way. Jesus had been requested by
Jalrue to come to his house and heal
his daughter. As he was going on his
way and much people followed him
and thronged him, a certain woman,
seriously 111 for twelve years, suffering
many things of many physicians, and
growing worse instead of better, came
In the crowd about Jesus and touched
the hem of his garment. She was a
great sufferer from her disease and
disappointment.
% Recognition.
Jesus noticed her touch; ' And Jesus
Immediately knowing in himself that
virtue had gone out of him, turned
him about In the press, and said, Who
touched my clothes?” He knows the
slightest movement of the eoul toward
himself, he feels the burdens we bear,
for he Is touched with a feeling of our
Infirmities. Like the father In Luke
16 he goes out to meet the returning
wanderer. What an encouragement It
is to the sinner to realize this ap
proarhnhleness and responsiveness of
the great Savior Sometimes we are
In doubt about the character and love
of God, but every revelation of the ten
derness, compassion and thoughtful
ness of Jesus Is also a revelation of
the fact that God Is like him He
knows our reaching out after him; let
us be sure of that, "I waited patiently
for the Lord, and he Inclined unto me
and hoard my cry." Get close to Jesus
In love and faith, and touch him. His
heart and love and power will respond.
"The healing of hts seamless dress
Is hy our beds of pain.
We touch him in life's throng and press
And we are whole again."
Jesus rewards the woman, though
she had mistaken Ideas about his
character and his work; but one thing
she knew—she was sick and there waa
a healer; she touched him and that
brought blessing and benediction. Je
sus did not stop to raise questions as
to her character or criticise her for
her conduct. He responded to the
weak faith and the earnest deelro of
the woman, "And said unto her.
Daughter, thy faitll hath made thee
whole; go In peace, and be whole of
thy plague.” The story shows that
faith Is personal allegiance to a per
sonal Christ. Many of us need sim
pler ideas and teaching about saving
faith. Christ saves, not a creed;
Christ saves, not a church-; although
creed and church are Important and
must find their place In the life of the
saved sinner. The woman got more
than she asked; the experience of
every believing, loyal, trusting soul Is,
•'My cup runneth over."
Confession.
Who touched me? Christ waits for
the answer, although the disciples said
unto him. “Thou seest the multitude
thronging to thee, and savest thou,
who touched me?" And Jesus waits
until the woman tells him all the truth
and goes away not only with a healed
body but with her sins forgiven and
the affectionate approval of Jesus.
There is a vast difference between
thronging about Christ and touching
him; the supreme thing is to get at
him. Having received blessing from
Christ it is our duty to mak- his will
our life and to confess him before oth
ere, because we love him and because
we want to help others.
Has there been disease, disappoint
ment. despair in your life? Reach out
and touch Jesus. Think of his power
until you say. God can save; think of
his love until you can say, God will
save; then the touch of faith will
bring a change—conscious, complete,
confessed. Jeeus meets the peculiar
need of each soul; pardon to the peni
tent, Justification to the guilty, cleans
ing to the impure. You should come
to him waiting for nothing; so coming
Christ will receive you. God's mercy
is greater than all the sins of the
world; there is salvation for you if
you will have it.
“She only touched the hem of hts gar
ment
As to his side she stole;
Amid the crowd that gathered around
him.
And straightway sbe was made whole.
Oh touch the hem of his garment.
And thou. too. shall be free;
Hts saving power this very hour
Shall give new life to thee."
"All the fitness he requires
la to fssl your need of him."
True as Preaching.

More truth. Hut hcie's some more that’s true as preaooing:
The dollar safely deposited in the bank is worth two jingling
in your pocket. Why because it is safe. You arc not liable
to lose it. Also, it is an incentive toward father accumulation.
It is safe from the hold up man, can't find the hole in your
pocket, is where every earned dollar ought to be, subject to
