SUNDAY AFTERNOON Written for the Advance -Times by Isabel Hamilton, Goderich There is a land of pure delight' Where saints immortal reign; Infiniteday exclulcles the night, And pleasures banish pain. Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o'er, Not Jordan's stream ,nor death's cold flood, Should fright us from the shore. —Isaac Watts Prayer . __Thou, everlaesting God, the Father of our Lord, help us to view with the eye of faith our pure divine inherit- ance which is uncorrupted, undefiled and unfailing in the skies. __Amen. S. S. LESSON FOR OCT. r7th, 1926 Lesson Topic — Moses Honored in his death. Lesson Passage—Deuteronomy 32: 45-52. Golden Text -;-Psalm x16:13. The 32nd Chapter of Deuteronomy is called The Song of Moses and in part of to -day's lesson we has his farewell exhortation- to the people over whom he presided for forty years and whom he was passing over now to 'the care of Hoshea, his suc- cessor. Matthew' Henry in his cournentary_ ort this Song says that Moses spike it to as many as could hear him, while Joshua (Hoshea) in another assembly, at the same time, delivered to as many as his voice would reach. Thus coming to them from the mouth of both their. governors, Moses, who was laying down the government, and Joshua, who was taking it up, they would see that they were both in the same mind, that though they chan- ged commander, there was no change in the divine command; Joshua as well' as Moses would be a witness against them, if ever they forsook God. Moses was very desirous that theh Word of God, as delivered by him, ill Innvimmniminninlitsfimmoimomumortmontimommalmoispownimmon .4szm DO:YOU• ' Require .um. e.r?

"Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you" this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do all the words of this law." Moses gave thernt the reasons why he was so urgent that they should give diligent heed to his testimony. Their religion was the very life of their souls. It was no vain thing, but the assurance to them Of prosper- ous and long life in the land which they were about to possess. "For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life; and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it." This is typical of that eternal life which Christ assured us they shall enter into, who keep the commandments of God (Matt. Ig:I7). On the very day that Moses finished his rehearsing in the ears of the people all the words of his song, God bade him depart t1 into Mount Nebo and there get a large view of the promised land which he was not per - milted to enter because of his sin in the wilderness of Zion. On that oc- casion God told him to take his rod hi his hand and, speak to the rock, and itshould give forth water for the thirsty "people. Instead of obey- ing implicitly Moses and Aaron gath- ered the people together before the rodk, and Moses spoke to them calling them "rebels," and then smote the rock twice. For this, although God permitted the waterto flow, he spoke to Moses and Aaroii and said they would not enter the promised land but must die, as other unbelieving Israelites, short of Canaan. God reminded Moses of this sin in not executing, with proper decorum before the children of Israel, God's commands, He also recalled to MS mind the death of his brother Aaron ' Lawyer, Roman Catholic; II Hon.

The remembrance of his sin would renew his sorrow and repentance, and the thought of a lov- ed one gone before would comfort him, and the sight he was given of Canaan would be proof of God's re- conciliation. "By his sin he was shut out of the earthly Canaan, yet it should not deprive him of thdt better country, which in this world can only be seen with an eye of faith." • Moses, the servant of the Lord, died in the land of Moab, according •. 1- Avoid Wet Feet • —Wear-- M •Dominion Rubbers A full line of Rubber Boots ill just in.

God buried him in a valley in the land of Moab; but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day. A writer says that the particular place was not known, lest the children of Israel, who were so very prone to idolatry, should have enshrined and worshipped the dead body of Moses that great founder and benefactor of their nation. Moses was removed while though old in years in the full possession of his faculties both phys- ical and mental. The tinae had come for the entering into that promised land, and no one must stand in the way, not even "the prophet whom the Lord knew face to face." 'There was great mourning among the people though while he was with them they did not all value his toun- sel and obey his will. The formal mourning lasted thirty days. Seven days was the usual period; but for persons of high rank or official emin- ence it was extended to thirty. It was and is, customary of the East for friends to mourn very bitterly over such as were absent from home when they died, and were buried at a dis- tance from their relations. 'It was after this manlier that the Israelites lamented the death of Moses. "Pre- cious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." WORLD MISSTONS A Christian Statesman Sir Narayan Chandarvarkar, who died at Bangalore on May t4th, is described as having been "one of the most attractive figures in the public life of India to -day. An English friend. writing of him in the Bombay' Guardian saYs: "He knew the Chris- tian Scriptures with the intimacy taf one who read them and fed his soul upon theni continually. He loved to cliscuss.the meaning of t ome passage that had arrested his attention. Next to the Bible the greatest influence in his life was, I think, the poet, Brown- ing whose strenuous message has re- markable attraction for thoughtful In- dians. He was scarcely less fam- iliar with Woods -worth, and indeed the great English poets were much in - his mind and on his lips. When he was appointed the first President of the new Bombay Council he found a sphere that admirably suited his gifts and training, and in which he re- joiced. His knowledge of history and of law, and not less, his sense of dignity and decorum fitted him ad- mirably for the task of creating a worthy tradition in the conduct of the business of the Legislature. But Sir Narayan was happiest, not in the chair as President of the Council, but talking with village people, as he went lfo rhis daily dalk, learnig of their troubles, and rejoicing in their shrewd and homely wisdom He was eager to see the inhelped., to secure for them medical relief, and make their bare lives easier. In such sim- pleness and gentleness, he lived am- ong his fellows, loving and beloved," Missionary Review.
