wall three great roads peased to the
East; one along the Mediterranean, one
across the desert, and one by the iced
Sea, Moses seems to have chosen the
'latter, and led his. people, southward,
toward the sea. But the Egyptians clad

for us if we turned our battles over to
God oftener than we do.

18). 15. Wherefore criest thou, ete.-
It was now time for action. Moses was
undergoing a great struggle. Although
'no prayer 1s recorded, yet he was crying

is now about one hundred and eighty
'miles in length and twenty in average
width. It anciently, however, extended

!historic times to Lake Timseh, with
which it is now connected by the canal;
but its northern extremity has receded,
some think, as far as fifty miles, in con-
sequence of the rising of the land or the
encroachment of the drifting sands of
the desert. A .large extent of country
about the head of the gulf, once com-
paratively fertile and populous, irrigat-

has thus become an utter wilderness.

There is an attempt on the part of a
certain 'elass of Eible e.(poettoii's iso
minify this miracle and explain it all
from natural causes, leaving out the su-
pernatural element. But it must be
noted that the wind was timed and its
direction changed; the pillar blinded. the
Egyptians and at the same time gave
light to Israel; Pharaoh and his people,
who knew the sea and the action of the
tides much better than Bioses, were all
drowned, while not a single Israelite
perished; the Egyptians themselves de-
clared that the Lord wags fighting
against them. "That the whole should
have been so executed as to save all
Israel and destroy all the Egyptians is
unaccountable on merely natural as-
sumptions." -Wheel. Com. all that night

exactly the right moment God's voice
was heard. He told the people what was
to take plaee within the next few hours.
He went into deta;
promised deliverance. There are times
of distress that come to us all, seasons
in which we crave light and direction.
Enemies pursue us, impassable barriers
are on either side and before us. No
voice may come to foretell the outcome
in detail, but God has given us promises
and directions in His word which en-
lighten us as to the course 'we are to
pursue and the outcome. We are assur-
ed that a way of escape shall be pro-
vided. The Israelites were without the
Bible, which we have to enlighten and
encourage us. They had some knowledge
of God's power from" its manifestations
in. their behalf, but He gave them spe-
cific informatiou regarding the crisis
which was at hand. When we to -day
earnestly desire to escape the Egypt of
sin, the Holy Spirit and the word bring
light to us, and we are taught the steps
that we must take in order that our de-
sires may be satisfied. With God's ward
in our possession we need not be ignor-
here is a still. greater marvel. The cloud
element is so eomnbined with the fire ele-
ment . that the same pillar is cloud on
one side ,and fire on the other, 'thick
darkness to the Egyptians and light to
Israel. The proud and powerful Egyp-
tian army is successfully hemmed in by
a cloud. What an amazing thought! God
is just as watchful and loving in the pro-
tection of His people to -day as lie was
then. The soldier who wraps his coun-
try's flag about him before the eyes of
enemies of another nation, and bids
them defiance, :knows that his country's
army is behind the flag, so behind the
simple protection that God girds His
people are the resources of heaven.
IV. Triumph. In the fate of this as-
tounding miracle Israel must have felt
their weakness and unworthiness, but
they were, nevertheless, triumphant.
They had so little to do with their de-
liverence that in must have seemed like
a dream to them. God had said, "Stand

A STUDY OF
BREEDS OF SWINE

An instructive pamphlet devoted to
breeds of swine has been issued from Ot•
taws as Bulletin No. 11 of the Liver
Stook Branch. It deals with the histoq'-
eharacteiesties and points of exoelIer
of the six principal breeds reared fzt'
Canada. Commencing with a review of,
the origin of domestic swine the bulla-'
tin teaches that the many varieties that
are found in various parts of the world`
are all descended from one origthal stock
of wild hogs. The variations that tiered
effected by domestication upon the prr-
genitors of our present breeds ate 'fol-

II. Action. The knowledge that was
graciously imparted to Israel regarding
their deliverance would mailed
ailed
little had they not believed what God
said and acted accordingly.. A man may.,
have the knowledge that he is a sinner,
,that God is justly displeased with hint,
that Christ has made a full atonement
for him, and that he must repent and
believe on the Lord ,lesus Christ in order
to be saved, yet unless he heartily acts
upon this knowledge he must continue in
his sins. There was a way provided for
Israel out of Egyptian oppression, nad
they escaped by acting faith in God;
so we shall escape Satan's cruel bondage
by acting upon the truths of God's word.
Culture cannot save the soul. One may
have "all knowledge," and yet be desti-
tute of the grace of (.rad. We mast
avoid attempting to substitute knowl-
edge
nowl
edge for faith and obedience. our salva-
tion is of the Lord, but we must place
ourselves in the right attitude before
Him.
III. Protection. Here is one of the
most striking illustrations of God's re-
sourcefulness. We are led to wonder at
the power of God that furnishes a guideo
