panic and suffering was fncrc/wcd by the
fact that they clearly perceived the reason
therefor. They, iu their simplicity, knew
that there Is ft direct relation between
evil conditions nnd offenses against God.
Herein modern civilization may lenrn a
valuable lesson from them.
The Unlearned Lesson.
The rann who stumbles twlee, or twenty
times, over the same obgtruetlou, can
scarcely expect to And ft niche among the
wise men. Just so foolish had been the
children of Israel. For nearly forty years
thev had been In the wilderness, ever sin
ning the same sin and being heavily pun
ched for It. Their principal falling was
lack of faith In God. with every reason to
trust Him, they yet perversely persisted
In untsdief. The forms of offense varied

The Dawn of Terror,
Of nil the creatures that Inhabit this
earth the serpent Is everywhere regarded as
the most loathsome. He Is the dread of all
simple peoples, and revelation mukes him
the incarnation of the tempter. What a
terror must have smitten the camp when
this plague first fell upon it. The sudden

snakes all argued against accident. Con
science Instantly told the sufferers why the
punishment had been sent, orientals will
sit down In calmness, ns I have seen them.
In the presence of the black plague. But
this sudden' alarm of serpents—springing
with deadly fang from wayside footprints,
from tlie shadow of rock or shrub, ami
Infesting the very household equipments—
this waa a nerve-raeklng terror. • The
scream of the newlr-bltten. the groans of

of faith In God. From the first whimper coiistiint fear, fresh In every mind, that

Still they remained a rebellious and un
grateful people. We are not surprised that
Moses got mad at them. It Is no wonder
that Jehovah was repeatedly ready to glv
them up as n bad Job. Even the Ion
waiting at Kndesh-barnea, when every ma
above twenty perished because of the ur
belief which refused to go up Into the
promised land, had not wrong tha cufe of

the sin of nil sins today unbelief? What
was the query of Jesus. “When the Son
of Man returns, will He find faith in the
earthV” We try to substitute the ma
chinery of civilisation for faith; but the

nnd the cunning works of men’s brains,

the Israelites.
The Visitation of the Serpent.
The pilgrims were on the march. They

itual condition Is often, although not neo-
• ssnrlly, n thing of circumstances. The hot
sands of the desert, the blinding glare of
the sun, the heavy-footedness of such trnv*
cl, the burdens to be borne, the fleas, the
• itetnles, nnd nil the innumerable annoy
ances nnd privations, smnll and great, had
worn the people's nerves. So “because of
the way,” they were discouraged, nnd
everything looked blue to them, ns It always
does to a discouraged person.
Then they began to 'May It on the Lord,
as we still have a fashion of blaming all
nur troubles upon a beneficent Providence.
Of course, they found fault with Moses, but
that was only an Indirect way of shifting
the res|»onslblllty upon Him whose repre
sentative Moses was. They complained, In
the old way, that they were likely to die
la the wilderness, that there was no bread
and no water, nnd that the innnrni was
not desirable, nnd that, altogether, they
would better nave been left In Egypt.
Everything must have a limit, except the
love of God. His pntlence ha* limits. Some

their own sin of unliellef. Ho their coutrlte
cry rang out, “We have sinned, because we
hftYC spoken against tlie I^ord. and against
thee; pray nnto the Lord that He take
nway the serpents from ns.”
When the Ship Wont Down.
One of the revealing stories which come
from the recent terrible wreck on the Pa

prayed, as only drowning people can prar.

God heard. Since the affliction hud l>een
sent ns n punishment of unbelief, the heal
ing should be by nn act of fnlth. The suf
ferers should be saved through a symbol.
Moses was directed to make a serpent of
brass nnd erect It upon a pole iu the sight
of the whole eauip, so thnt whosoever
should look upon It would find life. God
made faith n test of healing; the innu who
vould not look, could not live.

PURER THAN EVER

Favorable Report Made by
City Bacteriologist To

"I find the water a* now pumped Into
the city from the clear water basin
purer than It has ever been. I consld
er the water purer and better for drink
Ing purpoas than that from any spring
around or neor the city."
This, In part, was tha statement of
Dr. Claude A. Smith, city bacterfolo*
gist, to the board of health Friday aft.
ernoon. The Georgian stated Thurs
day that Dr. Smith would so report on
the city’s water.
When the siege of muddy water be
gan, Dr. Smith waa called upon to
make a test of the water. He did this
and then followed It up with teats after
the reservoir again rose and the water
came Into the city clear. He has made
tests right along until Thursday, and
he says the water Is now much purer
than for years.
Dr. Smith tested the water os taken
from tho river, ns taken from the res-,
ervolr, and as taken from th eclear
water basin and he reports that even
the water taken directly from the river
