events all these things reflect the
morale back homo.
Do you like to read a sorry head- j
line about the invasion fronts? Our
fighting forces, made up of indi
viduals with the same reactions to
good and bad as you, will not be
heartened to read: “Fifth War Loan
Lags."
Your silence in your letter about
your part in the Fifth War Loan will
mean non-interest, perhaps non
participation to the recipients. It's
up to you to make your letters
cheerful. Write today. Write often.
Write about your war work, your
war support. Double your best
previous War Bond buying record
and then shout it to the housetops—
just to that special service man.

NO WASTED WORDS
A distinguished surgeon, famed for
his laconic speech as well as for his
professional skill, met one day hi«
equal in a woman of few words, who
came to him with a hand badly
swollen and inflamed.
"Burn?” asked the doctor.
"Bruise," the woman replied.
"Poultice."
The next day the patient returned
and the following dialogue ensued.
"Better?"
"Worse!"
"More poultice."
Two days later the woman called
again, and this was the conversa
tion;
"Better?”
"Weill Fee?”
"Nothing!” exclaimed the doctor.
"Most sensible woman I ever met!”

LESSON TEXT—Joshua 1:1-9; 23:1-5.
GOLDEN TEXT—Be strong and of a good
•mirage; be not afraid, neither be thou dis
mayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee
whithersoever thou goest.—Joshua 1:9.
The forward look Is typical of
God's people. They are always to
go on. They are to be like Israel, to I
whom came the word, "Moses is
dead,” but "now therefore arise
and go"—under a new leader,
j Our lessons for this quarter cen- i
ter around the experiences of Israel ,
from Joshua to David, a period rich
in historical data, much of it with j
most helpful spiritual application, j
It affords a real opportunity for I
effective teaching.
Moses was now dead, but that
only brought forth
I. God’s Provision of a New Lead
er (1:1, 2).
Cod buries His workmen at the
end of their day of labor, but God’s
work goes on. The people had
become attached to Moses and had
learned to trust his leadership (even
though they often murmured). With
his death we might have assumed
that there would be a letdown, but
that was not in God’s plan.
The Lord works through men. He
gives them abilities and uses them
for His glory—often in away which
astonishes them and others. But
let them not become proud, for God
has someone to take their place
when they are gone. They are not
indispensable.
Sometimes people talk as though
•II the great leaders of the church
had died, or were dying. Yet God
has some obedient men who are
ready to step into the gap.
Joshua was ready, when God was
ready, and he stepped into leader
ship.
11. God’s Promise of Victory (1:3-
5).
The promise given to Moses was
still good. God’s promises are al
ways good. They are the only real
ly stable thing in a trembling uni
verse. The question is, Are we
ready to accept Him at His word?
If our love wore but more simple.
We should take Him at His word;
And pur lives would be all sunshine
In the sweetness of our Lord.
—Faber.
They were to step out by faith.
The land was promised to them
only as the sole of their foot should
tread upon it. Israel never took out
the full promise of verse 4. They
lacked faith. Do we?
God honors those who believe Him
and who move forward by faith to
plant the foot of spiritual conquest
in new territory. Some are doing it
now. Are we?
The enemies of God’s people were
many and mighty, but they were not
able to stand in the way of God’s
people when they were moving for
ward for Him. Here again, Israel
failed. They did not drive them out,
because they did not take God at
His word. The application of that
truth to us is obvious.
HI. God’s Plea for Obedience ami
Courage (1:6-9).
“Be strong and of good courage."
There is a side to the believer’s
character which calls for submis
sion, for turning everything over to
God, for being sweet and spiritual.
All that is good and very desirable,
but it can never be substituted for
that other side which shows virile
courage and fearless abandon to
the cause of our God.
Joshua was made to realiee—as
we must too—that serving God (and
especially in a place of leadership)
calls for a measure of high courage
unsurpassed in any other pursuit of
man. It takes all there is of n man
to be a real follower of Christ—be
sure of that!
This courage, however, is not to
be confused with a foolhardy brav
ery which is reckless and unin
telligent. No indeed, for it is based
on the observance of God’s law
(V. 7).
Note (v. 8) the importance of
meditating upon God’s Word. This
(which is really n lost art in our
day) means so absorbing the prin
ciples of the Word that our very
lives are conditioned by them, and
we are made ready to meet every
problem in the light of its teaching.
IV. God’s Purpose for the Future
(23:1-5).
Passing all the great and stirring
experiences of Joshua, we have now
a glimpse of his closing days. He
was counseling the people regard
ing the future.
It is the mark of a great man
that he looks beyond the end of his
own short existence and plans for
the future. Many there are who
are not concerned about what hap
! pens once they are gone. They have
i no vision, no concern about the con
tinuity of life, in fact they come
! and go almost like the beasts of the
j field.
What about the future? Joshua re
minded them that every blessing
they had received, every victory
j they had won, everything, had come
| from the hand of God. There and
there alone was their hope for the
future. And it was enough!
