Moses Called to Deliver Israel,-Exod.
3: ri4.
Consmentaiy.-L God appears unto
Moses (vs. 1-6). 1, priest of Midian-
Or prince, or both priest and prince;
"the e original has both meanings."-
• ',Clarke. Lod the flock -For about forty tars Moses had been serving es a shep-
erd, oaring for the flocks of his father -
law. Back of the wilderness (R. V.) -
is, the western side, for in the He-
rew Orientation the spectator is always
supposed to face the east, which is hence
called "the front." Moses led his flock
westerly or northwesterly, through the
desert strip, to the elevated ground of
Horeb, where were the most fertile val-
leys of the peninsula, and where there
was water when the lower wells were
dry. -Terry. During all these years he
bad been holding communion with God,
and was being prepared for his life work.
'But think of a man with power and abil-
'Qty such as Moses had, being held down
for forty years with a few sheep! Yet
'this was evidently God's plan. Mountain
of God -Sometimes called Horeb, at
other times Sinai. "The mountain itself
had two peaks; one was called Horeb,
the other Sinai." -Clarke. But Newhall
thinks that Horeb was the name of the
district and Sinai the name of the
.mountain. It was called the mountain
of God because here God appeared to
Moses, and afterward. from the same
'mountain revealed His glory and pro-
claimed the law to the Israelites.
2. Angel of the Lord -Not a created
;angel, for he is called Jehovah (vs. 4-6).
,This was none other than. Jesus Christ,
• the Redeemer of Mankind. A flame of
fire -"Representing God's majesty, pur-
ity and power, and showing that He was
about to bring destruction to His ere-
: mien, and light and comfort to His peo-
,ple." The bush -The thorn -bush, a spe-
cies of acacia, common in the Sinai pen-
insula. Burned -1. As an emplem it in-
structs. 2. As a miracle it admonishes.
'3. As a magnet it attracts. 4. As a mon-
itor it warns,-Hom. Com. "This is, 1,
An emblem of the state of the Israelites
in their distress. 2. Of the state of the
church in the world. 3. Of the state of
every true Christian:' Not consumed --
Showing that this was fire from heaven.
3. Why the bush, etc. -Ho desires if
possible to see the cause of this strange
appearance. God will reveal to listening
souls all they need to know to be able
'to follow and obey Him. 4. God called
t- . out of.. the bush -Flame is the best
symbol of God: 1. It is immaterial. 2.
It is glorious. 3. It is mysterious in its
nature. 4. As light, it is everywhere-
. omnipresent. 5. It enlightens the world.
6. It is a source of life, beauty and
power. 7. It is undefiled and undefil-
able, absolutely pure. 8. It is terrible es
"•'a destructive power. 9. It is warming,
cheering and life-giving.: Peloubet. .And
said, Moses --Moses being thus addressed
'by name, must have been more surprised
by what he heard than by what he saw.
-Benson. Put off thy shoes -Rutting
off the sandals is a. very ancient prac-
tise in worship. The rabbins say that
the priests perform their service with
• bare feet in token of purity and rever-
ence. All Mohammedans, Brahmins and
• Parsees worship barefooted to the pres-
ent day. -Nevin. "This was required of
Moses as a token of his reverence for
God, of humiliation for his sins, of his
putting away all impurity in his life and
-of his submission and readiness to obey
• God's will." 6. I am the God -God does
not say I "was" the God of thy fathers,
but I '`am" their God . The patriarchs
were still living, for God is not the God
of the dead but of the living (1liark 12,
27). 0f Abraham, etc. -That is, the God
who entered into covenant relation with
:Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The prom-
• ises made to them were now about to be
. fulfilled. Afraid to look -He was over-
awed by God's presence,
II. God calls Moses to deliver Israel
(vs. 7-10). 7. seen the affliction-7.that
is, I have considered their afflictions.
He counts the sighs of his .people and
puts their •tears into hie bottle. 8. am

' very extraordinary he was said to "come
down' to do it, as in Isa..64:1. So Christ
came down from heaven to save fallen
' Wean. and a large -Canaan was large
compared with Goshen. with milk and
honey -A proverbial expression; but sit-
• erally true with reefrence to Canaan.
The milk and honey are typical of the
•, . !richness and fulness of God's grace.
9. the cry unto me -They did not
, merit God's elevation., neither was he at-
, treated by their excellences or their vir-
' tues; but it was sufficient for him that
they needed the great deliverance that
• ; he was able to give. 10. I will send thee
-About forty years before this Moses
had undertaken to deliver has people in
' his sews way. Now he had learned the
other lessons God would teach Ilim`and

a man running unseat. •

1. who em I -Moses was the best pre-
pared for this work of any man living;
eminent for learning, wisdom, experience,
' and yet he says, Wile am 1? "The bet-
ter preaarea any one is for service, the
less opinion he hadebt s of himself," at I

It was not likely that he Egyptians

cess of has mission to Pharaoh, and the

Co
PRACTICAL APPLIOAPIONS.
Lessons From the Call of Moses.
L God teaches his work•eras. 1. Hu -
anility. "Moses kept the flock of eJth-
ro . , .. and he led the flock to the back
side of the desert" (v. 1.) For eighty
yews, forty in Egypt and forty in Micl-
ion, God was preparing Moses to be a
laborer together •;vita him for the deliv-
erance orf Israel. The instruction of his
another, education in Egyptian lore, faro
iiiarly with the court, experience as a
statesman, renown as a warrior -ell
these were in God's plan for hien es the
diliverer of his people (Acts 7; 21, 22.)
'But his training in Pharaeh's home was
as nothing compared with bis sojourn
in the desert. One was valuable, the
other indispensable. ,
2. laelasess. .Elie: p nee of a!'holy.
God mad' the place litere Moses food
"1tol,r ground" �(v. 5.) This revelation
to Moses of a "bosh 'burned with fire,
end .. , . not consumed" (v. 2), was 'both
a type and a pledge of the contl;$iunica-
tem of God's holinese to us through the
Crucified One. From the lips of Mases,
the people of Israel, and from the pen
of Moses, the Church of Gori received
the message: "Yo shall be holy; for I
am, holy" (Lev. 11, 44; 1 Pet. 1; 16).
3. Heedfulness. "God called unto him
..and. he said, Here am I" (v. 4.) When
God calls we should tisten. When he
coanmande we must obey. Whether the
cal be to sweep a. room or visit the
sick, to sow the field or reap the bar -
vest, to work in the chop or write in
the oficef, to mend the gement or to
entertain in the parlor, to work in the
city elms or preach in the city church,
the call should be instantly Deeded and
cbeerfully obeyed.
I. God chooses his workers. "Come
new, 'therefore, zed I will send thee unto
Pharaoh" (v. 10.) Jere• said, "Ye have
not chasms me, but I have chosen you,
and ordained you, that ye should go and
bring forth fruit" (John 15; 16.) As
surely as God chose Moses to be Israel's
leader, and Aaron tot Isreal's priest,
and Miriam to be Israel's singer, and
the 'twelve to be hie apostles, so surely
does he now choose those to be workers
:together with God the Father, as am-
bassadors (2 Cor, 5; 10, 20); worker
together with God the Son, as sufferers
(Rome. 8;, 17) ;wor•Icecrs together with
God the Holy Spirit, as witnesses (Acts
1; 8; nsrg,)
III. God oaros for His workers. "I
have surely seen the affliction of My
people , .. , in Egypt ....laid ..I have
also seen the oppression" (vs, 7,0). Ts
there a tender suggestion of rebuke in
the sentience? HadMaces, I wonder, in
forty years of quiet in the desert, some-
times thought God: had not seen and did
not care? A. blind bag stood on the cor-
ner of a city street. "Shell I help you
aeross, my little friend?" a gentleman
asked. "011, no, thank you; I atm wait-
ing for my father ," "Can you trust
your father?" "Oh, ,yes; when he hoe
my hand I feel perfectly safe," "Why do
you feel safe?" "Oh, 'because my father
knows the way. He can see, but I am
blind."
117. God chooses the work. "I em come
down. , ..to bring them up" (v. 8). "I
will send thee... ,that thou. mayest bring
forth "the children of Israel" (v. 10.) We
need to be careful lest in our natural en-
thusiesm Ave assume. the leadership of
Christian work. Made work is like this
first attempt of Moses, premature, call-
ed out by human sympathy. (Exod. 2.
11), wrought in the fear of man, and
in the pride of human strength (2. 12),
and ends in diecouraasemen4 and failure
(Exod. 2, 13-15). While work done with
hint, at his direction, in. the light of his
smile, consiirained by His love (2. Cor,
5. 14), makes the heaviest burden light,
the hardest task easy (Matt. 11. 28,
29).
V. God wants willing 'iworken , "Who
stn. I, that I should gor' (v. 11), God
is pleased when like Abraham we rev -
pond, "Behold, • here am 1" (Gen. 22. 1) ;
when.. like Isaiah we SAM, 'Here am 1;
send me" (Tera„ 6. 8) ; when like Paul
we cry, "Lord, what wilt thou have ma'
to do?" (Acts 9. 6). We ale not equal'
to any teak, nor worthy of zany work
;.
bast it is not a question' .f our witness,
or our ability, but of G `,'a pleasure and
His power.
171. God gives 'limed . His workors,;
"Certainly I will be wi • thee" (v. 12) .
With thee to subdue tl:.` Froud heart of
Pharaoh; to rouse tihd poor, afflicted
slave children of Israel •to endue thee
with power and bear ai ': thy burdens`:
God never says, "Go et ' to any child,
but He also &aye, "Lo, am with you"
(Matt. 28. 20).
WILL STAND ALOOF.
Germany Will Not Discuss Limitation
of Armaments,
Berlin, May 6. -In the Reichstag
to -day several speakers suggested to
Chancellor Von Buelow that Germany
should take no part in the discussion
of the limitation of armaments at The
Hague Peace Conference, Von Buelow,
in reply, said that Germany did not ob-
ject to letting other powers discuss the
matter,' but Germany would hold aloof.
He referred to the recommendation of
the first Peace Conference that the pow-
ers study the question of the limitation
of armaments.
"Germany," he added, "has complied
with this recommendation, but has not
found a formula which takes into ac-
count the great diversity in the geo-
graphical,economic and military posi-
tions of the various states, or one which
would be calculated to remove these
diversities and serve as a basis for a
treaty."

ECEMA AGAIN
OVERCOME
ZAM-BUK CURES .A CASE WHICH
FOR TWO YEARS HAS DEFIED
EVERY REMEDY TRIED.
A Farmer's Grateful Testimony.
No case of eczema, skin disease, or
ulceration .should be despaired of until
'Lane_-Buk has been applied. The case of
Mr. Francis Penoit, of St, Anne's (Man,),
is a powerful illustration of Zam-Buk's
efficaey. IIe says: "I suffered from
eczema for two years, and tried a great
number 6f remedies. None of them;
however, seemed to do me any good.. The
ailment was mostly in my legs, and both
these were actually raw from the knees
down. A small sample box of Zam-Buk
was given to me, and even so small a
quantity as that did me a. Iittle good.
)then obtained a proper supply, and
by the time I had used a few boxes; I
was coinplotely cured,'
Zam-Buk differs from ordinary salves
and embrocations in containing no ani -
ural oil Sr fat. It is compounded from
rich, healing, herbal essences, and is an
ideal natural combination of power and
purity. It is highly antiseptic, and in-
stantly kills bacilli and disease germs,
which .settling on to wounds and skin
diseases set up festering, blood poison,
etc. For cuts, burns, bruises, ulcers,
abscesses, pimples, boils, skin _ eruptions,
scalp sores, spreading sores, children's
akin troubles, ;chafing sores, ete., Zam=
Buk is unequalled. It also cures piles.
