SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
For Feb. 10, 1924. —Numbers 13, 14. Deut. 1:25-40
BY DR. MARION McH. HULL
Golden Text: “Jehovah is with us;
fear them not.” Num. 14:9.
Israelites stayed at Sinai ten
and twenty days. Coming
tbftre a motley crowd of more than
rw’-o million people just out of
slavery, unorganized, uninstructed,
t undisciplined, a marvelous work
was accomplished in that brief
period. They were given the law,
the ordinances, they were instruct
ed, they were well disciplined, they
were thoroughly organized. Every
naan had his place in camp and in
line of march. With the tabernacle,
where God met with them, in the
center, two concentric circles were
formed when they encamped—the
outer circle being composed of
Judah, Issachar, and Zebulon on the
east; Reuben, Simeon and Gad on
the south; Ephrian, Manasseh and
Benjamin on the west; and Dan,
Naphtali, and Assher on the north.
The inner circle was composed of
Moses and Levi on the east just at
the door o fthe tabernacle; the Ger
shonites on the south, the Ko
hathites on the west, and the Mer
arites on the north.
When the cloud lifted and the line
of march was formed, Judah’s mand
was first; then followed the
Gershonites with the tabernacle and
its coverings, and the Merarites with
the posts and boards; then Reuben’s
k band; then Moses and Levi and the
with the ark; then
band; and lastly Dan's
Thus whether they rested or
Matched their meeting place with
God was in their midst.
On the 20th day o fthe second
month of the second year after
leaving Egypt the host of Israel
left Sinai. A brief journey with few
stops brought them to the lower
border of the land of promise at
Kadesh-barnea. From Deuteronomy
We learn that the proposal to send
spies into the land to reconnoitre
came from the people themselves,
but God confirmed it, or rather al
lowed it, and by His direction one
man fro mevery tribe was chosen
for this purpose. It may be regard
ed as sin on their part for desiring
this; on the other hand, God ex
pects every uian to use his head. It
is the part of prudence to know
what you have to do before you do
it. There was no sin in sending men
on to see what their task was. Their
sin consisted in depreciating God
rather than in appreciating their
task.
The Majority Report
These twelve headsmen of the
tribes did a good job. They went as
far north as Hamath (what was later
Galilee) and made careful observa
tions in the southern portion of the
land. Probably they divided, some
going one way and some another.
They were forty days in reconnoiter
ing; and then came back to give their
report to the nation. “Surely,” they
said, “it is a good lp.nd and floweth
with milk and honey.” And to prove
their report they brought back a
buch of grapes from the valley of
Eschol which was so large that it
took two men .to carry it. “Never
theless”—oh! that fatal word'.—the
people are strong, the cities are wall
ed, and very large; and, and we saw
’ the children of Anak there!! ! Boo!
Besides this, the Amalekltes whom
we had such a time whipping down
at Rephidim are there; and the Hit
tites (the greatest nation in the world
at that time) and the Jebusites, the
Amorites are in the mountain fast
nesses; and the Canaanites are down,
by the coast. Why! there is not a
chance for us in the world. These
folks are so big that we look like
grasshoppers beside them! ITgh!
Well, that report just scared the
people to death; for read the next
verse: “And Caleb stilled the people
before Moses, and said, Let us go up
at once, and possess it; for we are
well able to overcome it.” But other
spies save one, spoke vociferously:
The land eats up the inhabitants;
and all the people are like giants,
and we are like grasshoppers! How
inconsistent that statement —if the
land ate up the inhabitants how
could all the people be men of great
stature? These ten were just scared,
and made a bogy man out of every
thing that they saw. And if the peo
ple were scared before, they were
worse frightened now. They cried
/ all night, they murmured against
Moses again; and they wondered
why he had brought them out of
Egypt, and if they had to die, they
would lots rather, have died there;
and they actually went, so far as to
propose electing a captain to carry
them back!
Caleb was not alone however; there
was another one of the spies who
had a heart, of gold and a backbone
of steel. His name was originally
Osh?a which means salvation; but it
changed to Joshua, which means
h is salvation. He was the
Nun and a. member of the
of Ephriam. He must have in
herited from his many-times-great
grandfather Joseph that faith in
God caused the change in his name.
When the people took that stand
Moses and Aaron fell on their faces
before all the congregation; and
Joshua and Caleb rent, their clothes,
and said: “The land, which we pass
ed through to search it, is an ex
ceedingly good land. If Jehovah de-

I into this land give it to us, a land
which floweth with milk and honey.
Only rebel ye not against Jehovah,
neither fear ye the, people of the
land; for they are brfead to us; their
defense is departed from them, and
Jehovah is with us; fear them not.”
Think through here. See what
men these are who are speaking.
Hear what they say—the land is
fine. God will give it to us. The
people are our meat! They have no
defense. God is with us. Brace up!
This was the minority report. Did
they accept it? No! They were
about to stone them to death and
would have done so except that the
glory of Jehovah appeared in the
tabernacle just at that moment, and
God spoke. His patience with them
was well-nigh exhausted. God is in
finitely patient; but even God’s pa
tience has a limit. He is merciful
and gracious, slow to anger and
abundant in loving kindness—but
when he keeps on doing and doing
and doing for you, and you keep
on rebelling against Him, the time
comes when He must bring you to
a stop, for your own good as well
as for His glory. Notice His ques
tions. “How long will this people
provoke me? How long will it be
before they believe me, for all the
signs which I have showed them?”
Think back a bit. He had turned a
rod into a serpent which had swal
lowed up other serpents. He had
turned water into blood and brought
frogs above measure from it. In a
moment they had all died. He had
turned dust into lice. He had made
flies to come into the homes of the
' Egyptians, but not in theirs. He
had smitten Egyptian cattle with
a deadly pestilence when not one
of theirs was even sick. He had
brought boils on Egyptians and not
one on them. Egyptian cattle had
been beaten down in the fields with
hail and not one of their was hit.
Locusts had devoured every blade
of grass in Egypt. The whole land
of Egypt had been in a darkness
that could be felt, for three days,
but there had been light in all their
dwellings. In Egypt there was on
a particular night one dead, the
first-born, in every house and of
every animal, while all lived ynong
the Israelites. He had guided them
by a pillar of fire by night and a
pillar of cloud by day. He had made
away for them to pass over the
Red sea on dry land which the
Egyptian pursuers in attempting to
do met death by drowning. He had
thus delivered them miraculously
from the picked regiment of the
Egyptian soldiers. He had made
bitter waters sweet for them. He
had fought for them against Amalek
and won the victory. He had
brought water out of a rock for
them when they thirsted. He had
given them bread from heaven
every day except the seventh and
twice as much on the sixth day for
their need that day and the next
He had given them quails every
day for a month until they could
eat no more. He had manifested
Himself on Mt. Sinai, bringing them
out of Egypt to that very mount as
He had promised Moses for a sign.
He had spoken to them audibly the
ten words, and then had written
them on a tablet of stone with His
own finger. He had. caused the
earth to open and swallow up Korah
and his followers when they had re
belled against Moses. He had -smit
ten Miriam with leprosy when she
and Aaron had rebelled, and then
had healed her in answer to Moses’
prayer. He had led them safely to
this point by the pillar of cloud and
fire. And Vet —and yet, they could
not trust Him to overcome a few
walled cities and a few men that
were a bit taller than themselves!
No wonder God asked, ‘ How long
before they will believe Me?” He
was perfectly justified in saying, “I
will smite them with a pestilence
and disinherit them;” (and since,
Moses had trusted Him) ‘‘and will
make of thee a greater nation and
mightier than they.’
Stop a moment. Where Israel had
had one sign you have had a thou
sand. How long will it be before
you will believe God? How long
will it be before you will trust Hint
to save you from him who new
has the power of death and give you
everlasting life? Wait* Listen! You
have already accepted the gift of
life from Him in Christ Jesus as
your Savior? Then, how long, Chris
tian, will it be before you will be
lieve that the same God is able and
willing to lead you victorious over
every sin now? Having trusted
Him’to bring you out of Egypt, are
you going to fail at Kadesh? His
promise and His plan is not only to
bring you out, but also to bring yon
in. and give it to you. You cannot
win it. Israel tried that and was
defeated. Eventually He did bring
them in and give it—yes, HO gave
it to them; they didn’t win it. But
notice what they suffered in the
meantime.
God didn’t do what He threatened
because Moses prayed. Think of it!
Moses might have become the lead
er of a. great nation; but he begged
God not do it because then Egyp
tians would think as much of Him!
God’s glory was Moses' chief desire
not his own advancement. So God
answered Moses prayer and with
held the judgment from the people.
He forgave and punished them at
the same time. He didn't destroy
the nation, but those ten spies died
instantly, and every man over twen
ty years of age when they left
Egypt died in the wilderness except
Joshua and Caleb. They had been
forty days in reconnoitering; they
should wander a year for a day—
forty years—until (he children
whom they feared would be harmed
by the sons of Anak should be
grown to manhood and go into the
land and possess it.
When the people heard this they
mourned greatly. In spite of Moses’
remonstrance they insisted now on
going ahead; but they were miser
ably defeated because they were not
in the way of God’s will.
After more than thirty-eight years
they came back to this very point—
Kadesh-barnea, and from thence
were led around to the east side
of Jordan and entered the land. But
of the number who were there at
the first, only Caleb of the tribe
of Judah, and Joshua of the tribe
of Ephriam. went in. God delight
ed in them because they had trusted
in Him.
My brethren. Jehovah iss still with
us; He will fight for us; He delights
in us if we will but trust H m to do
the whole thing, and if we won’t
get in His way. He has shown Him
self strong and willing and more
than gracious. He has brought us
out of Egypt to Kadesh and is ready
to bring us into the good land of
rest and victory—not heaven. Ca
naan is not a type of heaven; there
is no fighting in heaven, there are
no enemies there —to the place of
power over present sin. Will you
accept he majority report or the

good land, nevertheless giants,

Dear Folks: January has been a
■ month rich With personal letters. I
i have enjoyed every one of them, and
am answering just as quickly as pos
sible. I would like to say here to
some of my young correspondents
that it really is impossible for me
to say whether a marriage for them
is advisable; I do try to give them
certain advice as to conduct, and the
inadvisability of marrying too young
and of giving up their school days.
No girl has a. right to marry until
she has fitted herself to be a real
help mate.. No boy has a right to
consider marriage until he has fitted
himself to support a wife.
Cordially yours,
AUNT JULIA.
Elizabeth: Ching Blue and Porce
lain Blue are really the same colors—•
very becoming colors, too. You can
get a good quality of flat crepe in
this color at $2.50 per yard. This
material will stand soap and water.
Os course you want to be careful of
the soap you use, and be sure that
your dress is evenly washed and
rinsed and not hung in the sun to
dry. I like my crepe dresses ironed
when the material is slightly damp.
Anxious Girl: If you will ask your
questions over your own name, add
ing the name you wish to appear in
the paper, I will be only too glad to
answer them. The rules do not per
mit me to answer questions unless
the real name as well as the pen
name is given. Many questions go
in the trash basket for this reason.
Blue Eyes, of Georgia: My advice
to you is don’t marry any man that
drinks.
Zella Grogan, Cedartown, Ga.: If
you will write to the library commis
sion, state capitol, Atlanta, Ga., they
will not only tell you about an Easter
program or one suitable for that oc
casion, but you can secure books
from this commission at only the cost
of postage both ways. Do write to
them—you will find it worth your
while, not only for this occasion, but
for many other occasions.
Blue Eyes, of North , Carolina:
Your cuticle has grown up around
your nails. It is too bad that you
have had to cut it, but when you
have been careless with them this
will occur. Sit down with a basin
of warm water and soap suds, but do
not use kitchen soap for this pur
pose. Let your hands soak in this
warm suds, adding warm water as it
cools. When your hands have grown
quite soft, gently press the
flesh around the nails with the round
end of an orange stick. If you
haven’t that, use the nail of the
other hand, and be sure to let this
pressing back form an oval around
your nail. If it is necsessary to trim
this cuticle, do it carefully, cutting
as little as possible. When you are
through with this process, rub a good
cold cream into the edge of the nail
and the finger tips, and ,wipe off the
surplus cream. If you will keep this
up I believe that you will find a
great improvement in your nails. In
the mornings, after you fix your
nails at night, be sure after washing
your hands in warm water to rinse
them in cold. You close the pores
this way. Use fin ivory or wooden
stick for cleaning the nails; scraping
them with metal loaves them rough
underneath and dirt adheres more
readily.
Mother.'’ please write me or send the sons
and I’ll send a song in exchange. Also if
any one has the book “Kazarr,” please lend
it to me. I’ll return ft in good condition
and pay postage both ways. Please write
first a s T want only one book. T enjoy
reading and have read heaps of good books.
I have six children, four boyg and two girl'
So you s e P I have lots to do’. Will stop now.'
Hope so see this in print soon as I'm anx
ious for the book and song. Love to Aunt
Julia and the cousins.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: One of my
greatest desires has been to become a cousin
and friend of every member of your Council.
If you will permit my friendship into vour
Council. I will write a few facts about col
lege life. Tn my opinion, college life is n
wonderful thing. I think that, everv g,rl
and boy of the universe should be given the
advantage of at. least one year in college.
One who has never spent s’ year in college
will never bp able to appreciate the joys
college life. Mothers and fathers, vou
owe it to your child. It will make your
girl or boy learn to appreciate vour love for
them more. It will help them out of the
rut. of timidity, make them realize their
state of inability without an education, and
make them work harder for their own wel
fare and for the welfare of the coming
generation. If you send them to the tight
kind of school, it will help them to build
a stronger character. It will help them in
appreciating strong. Christian characters.
Just here this Bible verse might be re
called, “A good name is rather to be chosen
than great riches.'' This might enable our
girls and boys of today to seek better and
higher occupations in life. How often do
we hear a mother or fatner sav. “Well' Ho
is a sad disappointment to my life?” Wait!
chance have you given your boy. your
girl. Mothers, fathers, give your child ar
least one year in college, is my earnest
plea. Ihis is my second year here in col
lege. and I am in hopes that I’ll bo finan
cially able to continue my college course
until It I, finished. I am the daughter of
a farmer, and. as many of yon perhaps
know, a farmer s money crop Is verv uncer
tain. T feel like these two years' in col
lege wofo niP will n| wir , jpjflpn
memories and treasures that eannot bo
taken away. The Christian influence here
is beautiful.
“The memory of co’loco life shall live
as long as life shall last;

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
When Full Duty to Children Has

bands Have Been Tyrants
Ail These Years
MARTHA was a pretty, warm
hearted, romantic young girl,
full of high spirits and the
joy of living. When she was 20 she
fell in love with Thomas, who was
an exemplary young man, and mar
ried him.
It. seemed nn
Ideal match. One
of these “and

books. Martha be
came a notable
housewife. She
s was thrifty and

I than hers. No

' a. better dinner
than did her husband. And when
the babies came no children were
cared for more tenderly, none reared
i with more loving wisdom than hers.
And through it all Martha kept
herself up. No matter how much
she economized, she was always
neatly and tastefully dressed. No
matter what the stress under which
she lived, she always turned a cheer
ful face on the world. No matter
how hard she worked, she always
found time for reading.
Thomas prospered, as he was
bound to do with such a helpmeet.
He was sober and moral and, to all
outward seeming, a model husband.
But he inflicted on his family all
the meannesses of a little and mean
nature. In his home he was a
grinding tyrant, who delighted in
showing his power by denying his
wife and children every pleasure and
thwarting their every plan.
He was stingy to the point of
miserliness. He raged like a mad
man when the household bills came
in, and every cent for any extra ex
penditure had to be coaxed and ca
joled and jollied out of him. He
was cross and surly and grouajiy.
He would spend days in a frezen
silence in which no one dared to
move or speak for fear of further
offending him, and he sent the do
mestic atmosphere down, to zero.
The sound of his key in. the door
at night stilled the prattle on. the
children’s lips, and sent the cat
scurrying to the cellar. And the
family looked forward to Sundays
and holidays, when the head of the
house would be at home, as days of
dreati and doom.
It did not take much knowledge
of the real Thomas to dissipate Mar
tha’s ideal of the lover she had mar
ried. It did not require many years
of browbeating and parsimony and
injustice to kill her love for him.
But by that time Martha had given
hostages to fortune, and she had the
grit and the courage to carry on
for the sake of her children. She
stood between them and their father.
She got things out of him by hook
or crook for them. She softened
their lives as much ag possible by
her boundless love and service. She
literally offered herself up to them
as a living sacrifice.
They left home and got away from
father as soon as they could.
Some of them are married and I
have homes of their own. The oth- •
ers are settled in business. But they
are all away from father, where
they can live their own lives in theli'
own way.
And Martha wants to go, too. She I
also desires a little freedom, a little
peace, a little happiness. But when
she tells her children that she wants
to leave the man that they fled from,
they are horrified.
They tell her that she will dis
grace them. They say that people
will talk. They say that if she has !
stood living with father for twenty- i
five years, they don’t see why she
can’t stand it until the end. They
think it shameful for people who
have been married so long to sep
arate.
These selfish young people, to save
their own faces and to avoid the
unpleasantness of having family af
fairs gossiped about, are eager to
sacrifice mother. They are not will- i

ing to live with father, but they
have no hesitation in dooming their
mothet* to that fate. And tvhen they
say that, because she has endured
twenty-five years of marriage with
him, she should suffer it on to the
bitter last of her life, they are talk
ing foolishness. They might as well
say that a prisoner who has been
in jail for twenty-five years should
refuse freedom. They forget that
mother has served out her term at
hard labor.
Nevertheless, Martin is bewildered
about what, she should do. She does
not know whether she should listen
to life calling to her or to her chil
dren. She is only forty-six years
old, strong and vigorous of mind
and body, with many years left
before her in which to be happy
or miserable. • Which shall she
choose?
I say she has the right of self
determination. She has done her
full duty to her children. She has
no duty whatever to the man who
failed to keep the marriage vow to
love and cherish her, who has shown
her no kindness, no tenderness, no
consideration. That frees her from
every obligation to him, and if she
is wise, she will take what is left
for her of life and do with it as she
chooses, and at least be free from
the daily harassment of living un
der the same roof with a man she
has come to loathe and despise.
There are many Thomases in the
world, but, believe me, the number
would be small if every man real
ized that Patient Martha was going
to give notice and quit as soon as
the children are grown, unless he
made the wife job attractive to her.

■farmers and Railroads
d Must Work Together
Next after Farming, furnishing Railroad Trans
portation is the biggest industry in the country;
and these two big industrial groups—-the Farm
>ers and the Railroads—are vitally dependent,
one on the other. » ■
What would your farm be worth to you—or any one
else, for that matter—if you did not have good Railroad
Transportation to haul the things you produce to profit
able markets, and to bring to you the many comforts
and conveniences which you now enjoy? And, on the
other hand, what would the Railroads be worth if the
Farmers did not give them sufficient traffic to make
operation of the Roads profitable?
Farmers who join in the unjust hue and cry against n
the Railroads should remember that what hurts the
Railroads also hurts the Farmers. Common sense and
self preservation demand that the Farmers and the • •
Railroads get together and work together, to their
mutual profit.
The Louisville & Nashville Railroad appreciates its
obligation to the Farmers, and is earnestly striving to •
furnish efficient and low-cost transportation from the '
frrms to the markets; and, from the factories and mar
kets to the farms.
