SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
For Feb. 17—Joshua 1-11:23, 24
BY DR. MARION McH. HULL
Golden Text: “Not one thing hath
failed ©f all the good tilings which
Jehovah your God spoke concerning
you.” Joshua 23:14:
The death of Moses just on the
eve of the Isralites entering the land
of promise was a great blow to
them. The men in that great com
pany—over 600,000 of them, 20 years
old and up—had never known any
r other leader, for during their forty
, years of wandering in the wilder
ness ail the men of that age, who
had come out of Egypt had died
except two, and these who were then
children unborn, had taken their
places.
■ But while the worker dies the
w’ork goes on. During all of these
years God had been preparing a
successor to His servant Moses,
who was none other than the serv
ant of Moses, Joshua, of the tribe
of Ephraiam. Just after leaving
• Egypt he was chosen as the military
leader of the nation and had been
used of God to win a signal victory
in their first encounter —with the
Amelekites at Rephidim. He must
therefore have been a mature man
at that time; for ho mere stripling
would have been chosen for so im
portant a post. At Sinai he had gone
up into the mountain with Moses
and had remained there during the
? £orty days that Closes spent speak-
N'ng with God face to face, although
jfshua" himself did not go to the
Ir with his master. That period of
Waiting must have had a wonder
ful Influence on his after-life.
At Kadish-Borneo he w r as one of
the twelve headsmen who were
chosen to go in and make an esti
mate of the work to be done in tak
• ing the land, and he was one of the
, two who gave the minority report,
which prompted the people to de
sire his death by stoning. And he
and Caleb were the only two adults
who left Egypt who were permitted
to enter Canaan. During the years
of wilderness experience we have no
1 mention of Joshua, but we know
that as Moses’ minister he was in
close touch with all the nation’s
successes and failures. Just before
his death Moses has chosen him to
take up the work which he has not
been able to complete, but which ho
. had been doing for forty years. It
. was no easy task, it is never an
easy task to follow a successful
leader.
“Now after the death of Moses
the bondslave of Jehovah, it came
jt'o pass that Jehovah spake unto
Joshua the son of Nun, Moses at
tendant, saying—”
Here was the secret of Johua’s
success, here was the reason he was
willing and able to take up the work
Moses had laid down and carry it
to a successful ’ completion—God
called him. Notice the promises God
made to him, the requirements He
made of him and the assurances He
gave him.
His orders were to arise and go
over this Jordan., Mind you, at this
time, the ford, which was ordinarily
about 2 or 3 feet deep and only a
few yards wide was now a raging
torrent over a mile wide and more
than a hundred feet deep! “Arise
and go over this Jordan, thou and
all this people, into the land which
I do give to them, even to the chil
dren of Israel ” They were not to
win it; it was to be a gift to them
from Him, and gifts are not won.
They must be received. Every place
that the sole of their foot trod upon
was the only condition.
The borders of the land, this gift,-
were to reach fpm the wilderness
on the south to Lebanon on the
north, from the Euphrates on th/
east to ' the Mediterranean on the
west. No man should be able to
stand against them, for “as . . . so.”
“As I was with Moses, so I will be
with thee.” “Only the strong and
very courageous, that thou mayest
observe to do according to all the
law.” Here was the secret of
Joshua’s success, and it will be the
secret of yours. “This book of the
law shall not depart out of thy
mouth; but thou shalt meditate
therein day and night, that thou
mayest observe to do according to
all that is written therein; for then
thou shalt make thy way prosperous,
and then thou shalt have good suc
cess.”
The only way for Joshua to keep
in close touch with God, the source
of power, was through meditation
in, and observance of, “this book.”
Joshua knew it was God’s word and
followed it. (But what of the thou
sands today who are questioning its
authority and doubting its source
and neglecting to meditate upon and
observe its teachings? Can there' be
any hope of success here?)
The remainder of the book of
"pJoynua Is-a record of how he obeyed
call. The first eleven chapters
story of his leading the peo
ple into Canaan and taking posses
sion of it; the next eleven chapters
tell of how he divided It to the dif
ferent tribes; and the last two chap
ters give his parting words to this
people just before his death, in
which he recited how God had led
them and the necessity for their fol
lowing and obeying His law if they
were to retain what they had re
ceived.
Immediately after receiving his
call Joshua notified the people to

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL
make preparation to cross the Jog
dan in three days. Look at that
raging torrent and take off your hat
to the faith of Joshua! How they
were to do it they did not know;
there were no bridges, a pontoon
bridge for 2,000,000 people under
such circumstances would have been
an impossibility!
Two spies were sent over to see
the lay of the land immediately west
of the river. Their experience with
Rahab, the harlot, made them bring
back a confident report. They were
delayed three days in the mountain;
then Joshua icmoved from Shittim
to the river and waited three days
more, and then they began the
march. There had been no abate
ment of the torrent. Jordan, "the
descender," overflowed all its banks;
but the moment the feet of the
priests who were bearing the ark
of God touched the edge of the
water, the torrent ceased, the waters
from the north banked up as though
a wall had stopped them; those
south flowed on down, leaving the
river bed without a drop of water
in it, and the people of God walked
ove rdryshod! As God had been with
Moses, so He was now with Joshua!
In the wilderness wanderings the
people had neglected the rite of cir
cumcision; before they could enter
Canaan, therefore, they had to cir
cumcise all of the males that the
flesh might have' no part in the
conquest of the land.
The capture of Jericho was the
next move. In the night Joshua was
stopped by an armed man. It proved
to be Jesus—the Captain of Jeho
vah’s host; and Joshua yielded to
His leadership. The marching or
ders of this Captain didn’t seem
good military tactics, but Joshua
obeyed them to the letter, and Jeri
cho fell without any effort on the
part of Israel.
Up the mountain just at the edge
of the precipice was Ai. Overconfi
dence was one of the causes for de
feat at the hands of its inhabitants,
and thirty-six Israelites lay dead be
fore the others could escape. The
people lost their nerve completely
and even Joshua fell down on his
face before God to wonder why this
defeat had been allowed. Then God
showed him the real cause of the
defeat—someone had sinned by dis
obeying His directions about the
spoil at Jericho. When confronted
with it Achan confessed his covet
ousness, and told where the Baby
lonish garment and th silver and
gold he had taken had been hidden.
When this sin was removed and the
offenders punished, the city of Ai
fell as easily as Jericho had.
Space here forbids any detail as to
the conquest of the land; but soon
the south and the north yielded to
Joshua and his followers. Thirty
one kings, Powerful, skillful in war
fare, and firmly entrenched in their
own kingdoms, fell before the mighty
follower of the Captain of the Lord’s
host. The Amorites, the Hittites,
the Hivites, the Perizzites, the Ca
naanites, the Jebusites were—as
Joshua had said forty years before—
“bread for us.” God fought for the
Israelites and gave them what they
never could have won for them
selves. But God would not fight
for them when the sinned against
Him. when they failed to obey His
word to the letter.
Soon Canaan was their possession
—not,as completely as it might have
been, however —and the land had
rest from war.
Joshua then allotted the land to
the tribes; and lived in his own allot
ment near Mt. Ephriam to the good
old age of 110 years. When he
realized that the end was near, he
called the people together and re
cited to them how God had led them,
how God had fought for them, how
God had given them the land, that
not one thing had failed of ell the
good things which the Lord their
God had spoken concerning them.
He reminded them that God had
given them a land for which they
did not labor, cities which they did
not build, vineyards and olive yards
which they did not plant—all of
these were God’s gifts to them.
Therefore “Choose ye this day whom
ye will serve . . . but as for me
and my house, we will serve Jeho
vah.”
Because God had so signally and
liberally blessed them, He would
just as signally and literally allow
the curses to come upon them if
they rejected Him. Joshua put the
proposition to them as stiff as he
could, and they made their choice.
Subsequently history showed what
that choice really meant.
Canaan, brethren, Is not a type of
heaven; there are no failures in heav
heaven; there is no fighting in
heaven; there are no failure in heav
en. Canaan is a type of “the heav
enlies” of Ephesians. It is the
normal Christian life, the life that
God wants every one of His follow
ers to live here and now. He wants
to give you a land without labor,
cities which you don't build, vine
yards and olive yards you don't
plant. He wants to give you victory
over your enemies; He will fight for
you; He will lead you; He will not
fail any one of the more than 30,000
promises He has made in His word—
but He will not tolerate known sin
in your life. There were others be
sides Achan who were far from per
fect, but Achan knew he had sinned
and was hiding it in his tent. Are
you harboring some known sin in
your heart?
Think of all He is, of all He has
done, of all He wants to do for you.
and choose ye this day whom you
will serve.
As for me and my house, we will
serve Jehovah.

Dear Aunt Julia: Will you please give
room in your corner for a North Carolina
girl of twenty years? I hare been a silent
reader of The Journal for some time, but
this is my first attempt to write. I am
very sorry for the invalids the cousins have
been writing about. I know it must be
awful to have to be confined to their rooms
all the time. I am a country girl. I work
on the farm in the summer, and cook and
do all kinds of work around the house in
winter. I have not been to school any in
about four years. I was in the sixth and
seventh grades when I quit school. I had
to stop school when we took the switch
board. Anyone, who wishes to write let your
letters come to

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
please open the door for three little Georgia
girls? Yes? Why, we were sure you would,
for this is the third time we have written,
but were never admitted. We, like most of
the cousins, live on a farm, but think we
would like city life best. How many of you
cousins like to go to school? We do, although
Annie and Lucy don't go. We think it is so
nice of Aunt Julia to give us cousins a col
umn in the dear Journal. We think all of
the cousins should have subjects to write on,
but we won’t take one this time. How many
of the cousins like flowers? We surely do,
but we haven’t many. How many like to
read good books, stories and magazines?
We do, and think everyone should read ft
lot. Our favorite books are “Tempest and
Sunshine,” "Pollyanna,” "Stella Rosavelt”
and “Blunder* of a Bashful Man.” Will
some of the cousins lend the book, "St.
Elmo” to Annie? Please write first. She
will return the favor in any way she can.
Who has our birthdays? Annie’s is the 23d
of June, Lucy's Is the 10th of January, and
Ethel’s is the 3d of December. We will
leave our ages for some good guesser to
guess—between ten and twenty. To the
first one who guesses or ages correctly we
will write. Everybody write to three lonely
little Georgia girls. We will answer all
mail received. Please write separately. We
could write bushels, but we might break
auntie’s rules. Your new nieces and cousins,

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I don’t
think you are In the habit of hearing from
school teachers. I am teaching seven miles
from Elberton, which is my home, and I
like it fine. A letter from one of my pu
pils, Gladys Snelling, came out recently In
The Journal. My agfe is between eighteen
and twenty-one years, and I will send a
picture of myself to the first one who
guesses my correct age. I have dark hair,
gray eyes, fair complexion and weigh 115
pounds. I am anxious to hear from other
cousins in Georgia and other states. So,
all you letter writers get out your pens
and pencils and write a few lines, anyway,
to a new cousin.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
admit two more Georgia girls into your
merry band of boys and girls? We, like
most of the others, live in the country, and
enjoy all outdoor sports. We go to school,
and Tressa is fifteen and Daisy is seven
teen. Both are in the eighth grade. We

Knock! Knock Come in! Why, hello,
Aunt Julia and all the cousins! I thought
you would let me in. but now, I want to
sit right -over there beside Aunt Julia and
Ruby Harris. Thanks for giving me a
seat In the happy-go-lucky bunch. Just
look, why everybody is laughing at me. I
guess it's because I'm so ugly. I’ll stay
as long as Aunt Julia won’t run me out
in the cold. Say, cousins, let's try to get
Aunt Julia to hang her picture right up
there (meaning the bead of the column).
Now wouldn’t it be lovely to see her sweet
face shine at the first glance, when we
read the letter box ? Suppose some of you
folks know me, as I spent a gay after
noon here with the cousins quite a while
ago, thanks to Aunt Julia, and I sure had
lots of fun. Well, helle, Beulah Cook, I
didn’t see you sitting over there in the
corner. I guess I'll have to run along, as
there are more cousins knocking at the
door to come in. If you cousins want to
know what I look like. Just write. I'll
try and promise you all an answer. Hoping
to receive a pouchfull nt mall. I remain, as
ever, an Alabama cousin.

Draperies: I think the curtains
you refer to are tlje straight widths,
generally shantung silk, much like

curtains work on rods and cords,
they pull back in the day time,
hanging straight at the sides of the
window, and by means of the cord
are run back together at night,
hanging straight over the window
and in this way serving as a shade.
The shantung sells for 75 cents a
yard, is about a yard wide. It takes
two widths of about 2 1-2 yards each
for a window. Os course, the length
would depend on the measurement
of your particular window, the
amount I give is for the stock win

Dear Aunt .Tulia: Here I come again,
but, first of all, let me thank Aunt Julia
for being so sweet as to print my other
letter. Cousins, it Auntie had been here
with me when I saw my letter in the
dear old Journal, why she’d have gotten one
of the “wholesomest” lings she ever got.
Dear Cousins, those of you who wrote to
me the other time I wrote to The Journal
and didn't get an answer, will please take
this as an answer. Now don’t tiiink that
I didn't appreciate your letters, for I sure
ly did, and enjoyed ’em very much. Wbat
have you all been doing through all this
awful weather? I'm having to , struggle
,pretty hard at times to keep from being
“blue,” but it wouldn’t do to have sun
shine all the time, would it? How manv
of you folks like music? Almost all of you'?
I thought so. I hope to say I do. I can
accompany the violin with a banjo or a
guitar, and can pick a banjo some, also am
learning to play the violin. I wouldn’t
take anything for what I do know. How
many of you cousins are fond of flowers?
I am. I have a good place here to )>ave
flowers, end hope I shall, too. As we just
came here this year I haven't had time,
and it'e been rather too cold to start any
yet. Oh! but one of the cousins I'm corre
sponding with (at present) eent me his
photo, the background of which was partly
composed of some beautiful flowers. It
made such a very nice picture. I like the
letters where they write on eny one sub
ject. I think it's so nice. If I wrote on
any subject it would be "Peace.” I want
to ask a favor. Will some of the girls (or
boys, either) eend me some of their flower
seeds? They will be appreciated very
much. Vrite and send me your photos,
please. Oceans of love.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
The Young Wife Who Wants to
Have Her Fun Now Instead of
Saving for a Rainy Day—Which
Is Hore Unselfish and Self-
Sacrificing. Mother Love or
Sweetheart Love?—Shall He
Marry on .$l5O a Month?
DEAR MISS DIX—I am only
twenty-one years old and am
married to a man nine years
older than myself. I love pleasures
and pretty clothes but when I want
some of the things I feel I ought
to have my husband wishes to save
money to buy a
home. I realize
that it is good to
save, especially
for old age, but
we haven’t any
too much money,
so our saving
will be slow and
we will be de
died almost all of
the joys of life.
I am afraid that
by the time we
save, so that we
can have things,
I will be too old
to enjoy the
ZX
/, i '<«•
\ *
SI '*
H Jk
•* _.Tnuear
pleasure that I want bo badly at
twenty-one. ,
Do you not think that we might
enjoy ourselves for about a year
or two and then start to save?
DISCONTENTED WIFE.
Answer: Thrift is one of the vir
tues that, if overdone, may become
a vice. And certainly it is not wise
to deny oneself every pleasure and
comfort as one goes along in order
to lay up money to be enjoyed in
the future. Moderation in all things
is the golden rule, and any sensible
young couple should budget their
income, and decide what is a fair
percentage of it to save, and what
to spend on pleasure.
Your Idea, Discontented Wife, of
blowing in all that you make on
pleasure for a few years and then
beginning to save is one that has
been adopted by millions of people
before you. And it has led every one
of them to the poorhouse. For the
time to begin to save is right now,
this very day and hour, not in the
future. Those who put it off until
tomorrow never lay up a dollar for
a rainy day. There is always some
thing alluring to buy or do on
which they spend it.
Your theory is that people should
spend their money when they are
young in enjoying themselves.
Wrong. Youth is the time to save,
because youth of itself is joy enough,
and finds amusement in everything.
When you are young you do not
need much money, but when you
are old you need it desperately. You
need it to buy physical comforts.
You need it to buy politeness and
consideration from other people. No
fate is so desolate as that of poor
old men and women who are depend
ent on people who do not want them
about.
A very wise old man once told me
that a year after the marriage of
any young couple he could foretell
their destiny. He said that if, in
that first year, they had saved up
even so little as a hundred dollars
and had started a savings accoount,
that they would go on to prosperity,
and by the time they were middle
aged they would be among the sub
stantial people of their community.
If, however, on the first anniversary
of their wedding day they had saved
nothing, they would he one of the
couples who live from hand to mouth
all of their lives, and in their old
age are dependent on their chil
dren.
So, Discontented Wife, I entreat
I you to see how wise your husband
is, and to join him cheerfully in try
ing to save and get ahead. It pays
to do without a few things you want
now in order to have .luxuries later
on. DOROTHY DIX.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1921.
had On this subject: Which love Is
more beautiful, mor© sacrificing,
most unselfish—mother Jriv© or
sweetheart love?
MOTHER AND SWEETHEART.
Answer: Mother love. No arguing
about that. Mother love is the only
unselfish love in the world. It is
the only love that puts the happiness
of the beloved one above its own;
that gives all and asks nothing.
To prove that. Sweetheart, you
have only to realize that a mother
is going to give the one who is the
very heart of her heart to you, and
is rejoicing in the sacrifice because
it will be for his good and make
him happier. You couldn’t do that.
You couldn’t give him to another
woman if he happened to love her
better than he does you.
You may say that the man will
love his mother none the less after
h© marries you. But the mother
will have given hinr up, just the
same. He will go away from her to
live. Another woman will be first
in his heart and thoughts. He will
no longer depend on his mother. She
will not be necessary to him any
more. To a degree, every mother
loses her son when he marries, and
yet every mother who truly loves
her son gladly makes the sacrifice
of giving him up so that he may
establish his own home, because she
knows that it is best for him.
Mother love endures all things,
and forgives all things. Wives di
vorce husbands who are unkind to
them, who are immoral, drunken,
who commit crimes and disgrace
them, but th© mother clings to the
prodigal son, no matter what he does,
nor how cruelly he misuses her. And
there are more mothers than wives
that wait outside of penitentiary
doors to welcome home the criminals
who have served their terms.
Even in those wives who love their
husbands best, who are most patient
and self-sacrificing . and faithful,
there is more of the maternal love
than there is the wife love. It is the
mother love that has outlasted the
sweetheart love.

Makes a Family Supply R
of Cough Remedy tn
Really better than ready-made (n
congli «yrups, and save* about $2. pi
Easily and quickly prepared, Lrj
If you combined the curative prop
erties of every known “ready-made”
cough remedy, you probably could
not get as much real curative power
as there is in this simple home-made
cough syrup, which is easily prepared
in a few minutes.
Get from any druggist 2% ounces
of Pinex, pour it into a pint bottle
and fill the bottle with syrup, using
either plain granulated sugar syrup,
clarified molasses, honey, or corn
syrup, as desired. The result is a
full pint of really better cough eyrup
than you could buy ready-ijiade for
three times the money. Tastes pleas
ant and never spoils.
This Pinex and Syrup preparation
gets right at the cause of a cough and
f fives almost immediate relief. It
oosens the phlegm, stops the nasty
throat tickle and heals the sore, irri
tated membranes so gently and easily
that it is really astonishing.
A day’s use will usually overcome
the ordinary cough and for bronchitis,
croup, hoarseness and bronchial asth
ma. there is nothing better.
Pinex is a most valuable concen
trated compound of genuine Norway
pine extract, and has been used for
generations to break severe coughs.
To avoid disappointment, ask your
druggist for “2% ounces of Pinex”
with full directions, and don’t accept
anything else. Guaranteed to give
absolute satisfaction or money
promptly refunded. The Pinex Co.,'

Another year’s experience fighting the weevil in cotton

the early planting of early varieties and the use of ;
Nitrate
of Soda
200 Pounds per Acre
Where grass and weeds do not interfere with cultivation,
use all the Nitrate at planting time. Otherwise use half
at planting time and half when chopping out.
This will force early bloom and will make the bolls
hard enough to resist attack when the weevils arrive in
force. Use poison, if you must, but don’t neglect the ,
Nitrate. 7
One county agent in Georgia writes “People using
Nitrate of Soda are ‘sold’ on Soda and will use it next
year. Others who saw the tests will do the same.” r
Alabama Experiment Station Bulletin No. 219 says
“Nitrate of Soda has returned better profit than Cotton
Seed Meal in all sections of Alabama. Nitrate of Soda
is therefore recommended in the formulas for each j
section.” z 1
My Free Bulletins on use of Nitrate of Soda for cotton 4
