THE S. S. LESSON
INTERNATIONAL LESSON,
MAY 26,
Lesson VIII. GlithillOad and Education
of Moses, Golden Text Acts 7. 22.
THE LESSON WORD STUDIES.
Based on the text 01 the Revised Ver-
sion.
Moses. -Some years before the royal
edict for the d.estrucl,ion of all male
children emong 11.0 Fiebrews was issued
a (melees man, Antrum by name, or the
Liebe of Levi, had married his kins-
woman, Jochebed (Exact. 6. 20). To these
P001110 two children, Miriam and Aaron,
had been born prior to the issuing. of
Pharaoh's cruel command that all male
Minden 01 1110 Ifebeews be put to death.
Moses, therefore, was the third child of
the In.mlly, his brother Aaron being
about three years his senior, and Miriam
perhaps twelve or thirteen years. The
natne "Moses" is now generally con-
sidered to bo derived front the EgyptIen
tun 01, mese, meaning "son," oe 'child."
This Egyptian word in turn Is derived
Rani a root common te both the Egyp-
tian and Hebrew languages, one of the
Hebrew woods derived from Me same
being Mann, /matting, literally,
"drawn forth." The prtncess's play upon
words referred to in Exod. 2. 10, thus
admitted of being literally rendered in
the Hebrew "And she called bis Tlarbe
Moses Illebrew Mosheh; EgYptlan,
Meste, and said, Because I drew hen
out Of the water." Among 1110 important
mut unique characters of the Old Testa-
ment, Moses' the deliverer, lawgiver, re-
former, andwlse ruler of iseael, occu-
pies a place of pre-eminence. As the
• Mader under whom Israe1 was delivered
feom erne slavery in Egypt, and again
from utter destruction by the Red sea,
Moses begins his great life week, the
total rpsult 01 3013101! Was the welding to-
gether of loosely connected though
closely related tribes into a compact 110.-
tioa with common ideals, well estab•
liseed and well regulated "seligkecivic"
laws and-custorns. As statesman ancl
lawgiver, as reformer mid executive
ruler alike, he ranks among the very
geoatest Olen of all ages. To a concise
and summary account, of Lee early life
of this greatest oi Old Testement heroes
weeshall glve our attention in the lesson

SADDLE HORSES.
The American 'Farmer is pleased let
note a revival of interest in saddle
horses. Reports hem breeders are lei
the effect that these n11101010 are becom-
ing more popular than ever, The writer
or Otis article Is especially Interested in
the subject from the fact that he was
reared in the mountains, and from earli-
est boyhood WAS eccuelomed to ride'
horseback. In level countries where
there are good roads, it was natural that
the buggy and other wheeled vehicles
should displace the riding home as a
means of transportation. The result is
that one seldom sees either men or wo-
men on horseback. There being no de-
mand, the supply miturally fails, as
breeders raise only those 01110101s which
eel' readily. Where the roads are rough
or wind over interminable hills, which
make buggies unavailable, horseback
riding is universal. The young People
go great distances to parties, mounted
on spirited 'steeds, which.. gallop grace-
fully over almost any kind of ground. A
woman never appears te such advantage
as when mounted On a handsome
charger, dressed in a neaelltting riding
skirt, with jaunty cap on her head and
a light whip in her hand.
Perhaps Mere is no physical exercise
equal to horseback ricling. The seders -
eel, man, the overfat man, the fellow
With sluggish blood or -reluctant liver
can find no better medicine than a can-
ter on the back of O. Nvell trained saddle -
horse. It beats golf, gymnasiums, ten-
nis, or any other Ido
d of exercise, yet
thie invigorating end exhilarating
amusement, this combination of fun and
10111111 production, Ls practically un-
known to the denizens of our northern
and western Mlles. Thousands of them
were never on a horse in their lives.
They, ride only on vulgar street cars, in
luxurious automobiles, 00 in some kind
of wheeled vehicle. These are all well
enough in their way, but you have oilse-
ed an ,exquisite and unalloyed pleasure
if you have eever ridden a. smooth -
moving cued spirited horse, well trained
to the saddle gaits.
We have no douel. that the beauty of
Kentucky women and the athletic pro-
portions of Kentucky men are largely
duo to the universal habit of borseback
eiffing. The horses there, as well as in
parts of Virginia and Tenne.ssee, are not
only finely bred, ,Att are especially
blend to move smoothly under the
saddle. They are taught to e'ot, pace,
canter, amble, walk energetically, lope
and go through all other motions de-
sired by those who ride, and such horses
elwaye command high prices. It is
natural to love one's horse, in whatever
capacity, he is used, but only those who
have owned fine saddle horses know the
extent to which affection will go for
these animals., Consult any man who
served in the eavaley of an army and
learn 11030 he loved the creature who
bore lam safely Rote or against the
enemy, on the long marches, etood by
tilm as he slept on the short halts,
watched for him on picket and saved
Mtn often in times of deadly clanger. It
Is only as a saddle animal lhat the horse
takes on the romantic form that appeals
so strongly lo the poels and trouba-
dours. Job would neva' have \Yellen
