And thousand' years later still a great Eng Eng- lish painter, in a fresco entitled'"Jus- tice," painted for Lincoln's `Inn in London, gave Moses; the central and commanding place in a group of the world's lawgivers, The figure of. Moses isnot t be obscured or foe - gotten. It still comninands the world's xeverence. For, says the poet quoted above: 'God chose him out of all been.: He made hire to hear his voice, And brought him into the dark cloud, And grit befuro him commandments, Even the lase of life and knowledge, That he Haight teach Jacob his cov- enants, • And Israel his judgments."—(Eccles. '45: 1-5.) 1. THE PREPARATION Fon LEADERSHIP, Exod. 1: 8-14; 2: 1-22. The oppression of Israel described in the first chapter of Exodus is comrnorr- ly believed to have taken place in the thirteenth century B,(',; but.the persod of time is uncertain and may rave been two ceaturies earlier. The people of Israel had been lorg in Egypt; and had greatly snereased in numbers (12: 37, 40, 41) Their home was in the grazing lands in the northeastern part of the country not far from the Asiatic. boux dnry.

Fortified by the promise of God who said, Certainlyl I will be with thee, and with his doubts and Years removed, Moses returns to Egypt to take lip his great task, His brother 'Aaron becomes his chosen and willing helper. 11I. TFHE TASE, 11: 1-10. Tho task to which Moses was called Is merely sugges,ed here. Its magni- tude and extreme difficulty appear in the chapter preceding and following. There was, first of all, the mind of the enslaved people to be prepared for the adventure, and the Egyptian kind to be persuaded to letthem go Then there was the leading of a great un- disciplined company from the plenty of Egyptian servitude to the hardships 'and: privations of the wilderness, be - f. and which lay the fair and goodly and of promise. Moses had to be their eader and judge, their ruler and law- giver. He had to endure their mur- murings and complaining, their rebel- lious moods and disloyalties, their lapses into idolatry, their disobedience and faithlessness. But out of this horde of emancipated slaves lie made a nation, he gave them a constitution and laws, a sanctuary and a priest- hood, and brought them into a coven- ant bond with their father's God (chap. 24). 11.T.

Greater than all his achievements was the man himself, great in his fidel- Sty, hie courage, Ms unselfish devotion to his task, and his f aith in Goa. The story is told in chap. 32 of the turning, during Moses' absence from the en- campment, of many of the people to a gross form of idol worship, and of the Wife which followed. Moses' enter- prise seemed here to be doomed to fail. He and Become urs, e would have himself made atonement for the people's sin. For- give them, he frayed to God, or if.

He is worthy indeed of the high praise be- stowed upon him in the Epistle to the Hebrews, where he is the.greatest of all that bright suoeession of the elders who obtained a good report through faith. Ocean .Colors A landlubber's first impression of the ocean is one of striking beauty, and those who were reared near the sea love It and are seldens content far from it. Few scenes surpass the beauty of a sunset at sea, :Although - the great body of the open ocean bas a definite, clear blue color, its ap- Parent color is always changing; and, because it is so changeable, we never grow tired., of it.: Its diversity in ap- pearance de caused partly by, the re- fection of the constantly changing sky and partly by varying light con- ditions, Some parts of the ocean are vari- ously tinted- because of impurities in the water or minute organisms pre- sent in great quantity. The Red Sett is so named because of the reddish color given it by certain plankton. Different intensities of green and yel- low tints occur near land, The olive- green tint of the Antarctic Ocean is Caused by enormous quantities of dia- •tams suspended he the water. Streaks of unusual colors are also noted occa- sionally in the open ccasionallyin:theopen ocean; many tra- velers have observed stretches of water of a brilliant red tint. Ocean- graphers who. have towed their plank- ton nets through such waters have found large numbers . of minute rod organisms, usually dinofiagellatee,-- Donald X. Trawler, in "The Wealth of the Sea."

If you have a knowledge of food values, you will be in a position to bring your weight tonormal whether You are over or Ander weight. My purpose is - to give you that knowledge so It can be used in the every day menu,1 Then each person will know just what she is eating In an average helping of food, ` ' When the time comes I will clearly set forth the values so they can be easily followed. It is. necessary first to understand why we hould do Cer- tain things, then naturally, we wish to know how to do them. If one keeps healthier through being normal, neither too thin atom too fat, .and 1f one certainly looks and feels better, then we know it Is something which is beneficial. It is often hard to begin because we fear we might tot have the courage to diet. We certainly do not want to miss all the fun of being invited out to various forms of entertainment. But cheer up; this way of reducing is not so drastic. You may go to your parties, but remember, moderation "must be your watchword. The next day you should be willing to eat less food 'to make up for the extra good me. It It Is a proven fact that nearly all ever -fat people eat unwisely and do not exercise enough. That is why anti -fat advertisements claim diet and exercise are unnecessary If you will only take their medicine. When you read these claims rmember what Ar- teries Ward said, "There are so many people in this world who tell us so many things that ain't so." The other day I was dressing a chicken, and a fat chicken. Two thick layers of fat padded the sides, but the most alarming thing about It was that the fat which clogged in around the stomach, liver and heart, big lobs of fat, also crowded the vital organs. The poor chicken bad egg yolks inside waiting to be maple into eggs, but there was no Croom for de- velopment. Pat is no respecter of people or ant. mals, so the thing to do is to get rid of it. The chicken was overfed and so are people. Life insurance companies would rattler have thin middle-aged policy- holders than stout ones. Think about it. Soon we will begin to understand °florins. Try starting on something like this, so as to acquire the art of reducing by degrees. Eat your three meals a day, but cut down an everything, gradually lessen- ing the quantities. Ilat sparingly of pastries, pie, ice cream and candy, Start out with an ordinary'helping of lean meat, fish or fowl, no fat, a big helping of vegetables such as spin- ach cabbage carrots etc., but only take half as much potato or rice, peas or beans. Ilse fresh fruits a great deal and especially oranges for des- serts. Salads of lettuce and toma- toes with a little dressing, ars very necessary, Then drink water any time, lots of it but be sure there is no food in the mouth when fluids are taken. Tea and coffee have no calorie. value but the cream and sugar you add have, so be sparing of the ham - flange, Eat. nothing between mels. If you feel hungry before 1t ie time for your next meal, drink some warm water. It gives the stomach some- thing to do. It 1s very important to eat your three meals each day, for youned fuel to Carry on. A low fire needs con- stant attention. If you decide to eat a very light breakfast to get a good start for the 'lay In trying to reduce, be spre you do not start out without any breakfast at all.
