God Feeds Israel in the Wilderness,—
. Ezod. 16: t-zs.
Commentary. -1. A, Muirniuring peo-
plm (vs, 1-3). After the Israelites ,'.eft
Elim they had an encampment by' the
Teed Sea (Nuhn, 33, 10, 11), They then
• came to the wilderness of Sin. "It is stip-
pooled that this wilderness, or desert,
!had its name from a strong city of
,Egypt called Sin, near whieh it lay."
1, Sinai—This is a mountain with two
!peaks); one of which was called Horeb,
the other Sinai. Sinai means thornbush,
:and probably received this name because
'here the Lord appeared to Moses in the
'iburningbush. They reached Sinai on the
• fifteenth day of the second month, which
was exactly ono month fro mthe time
they left Egypt. Second month—This
was Iyar or Zif and corresponded as
-nearly as possible to our month of May.
The Jewish month began with the even-
ing when the new moon was first dis-
covered. 2. The whole congregation.. , .
murmured—.For want of b:-ead. It seems
`they had tarsen a month's provision when
they left Egypt and now this was gone.
.Against Moses—An additional proof of
the hardness of theig hearts. They had
just seen the bitter waters sweetened
(15, 23.255), the sea divided, and the host
of Pharaoh slain; but these are all for-
gotten as they stand confronted with
their new difficulty, They evinced a fret-
ful, unthankful spirit. Their murmur-
ings were (1) inconsiderate, (2) ungrate-
ful, (3) degrading to the soul, (4)
against those who were rendering them
the greatest service.
3. They longed for the "flesh pots" of
Egypt. "The HebeZews when in slavery
were doubtless fed in companies, in plac-
es where large pots or boilers were fix'd
fcr the purpose of cooking their food."
—Clarke, They charged hoses with
bringing them into the wilderness to kill
them with hunger. "They seen to 'nave
actually lost the sense of having been
delivered by the hand of Jehovah."—

anticipate evils which never will happen.

•poses unto Moses in order that he might

couragement. will rain bread, ete.—Ef-
forts have been made to do away with
the supernatural aspect of this incident
suggesting that , the manna 'was
nothing else than the gum of the tam-
crisk tree, to which the name manna
has been given; but we are certain that
this gum could not have been the bread
that is here said to have conte from
' heaven. But why this effort to explain
away the miracle? God is still literally
sending tit bread from heaven. "Every
grain field obtains the greater part of
' its growth from above—from the air,
sunshine and rain." And it is as diffi-
cult to understand the grain field as it
is tc understand the falling manna.

Christ, who came down from heaven (I.
Cor. 10:3), a supernatural gift, to give
life to the world. and gather—The
manna was like a small grain. a certain
rate --Every person was to gather "ac-
cording to his eating" (v 16). every
day --It would breed worms and spoil
if they undertook to keep it from one
day to another. It was necessary also
to gather it early before the sun had
arisen. "Each one had to arise early
and seek his daily portion (v. 20). So
it is with the people of God now. The
heavenly manna must be gathered fresh
every morning."—C. H. M. may prove
them --Thus God tried them to see if
they would trust him and depend upon
him for fresh supplies each day, and to
see if they would serve him and keep his
commandments,

gathered the manna and "ground it in
mills; or beat it in a mortar, and baked
it in pans, and made cakes of it; and
the taste of it was as the taste of fresh
oil" (Num. 1:8). twice as much—On
the sixth day of the week they were told
to gather and prepare twice as muck as
usual, so there would be no work done
on the Sabbath. No manna fell on the
Sabbath. Had it been a natural produc-
tion it would have fallen on that day as
at other times, and had God not per-
formed a miracle it would have corrupt-
ed on the Sabbath as on other days (vs.
28, 24).
.6. Moses and Aaron said—Either
through their leading men or by means
of a great public meeting. Then ye snail
know—That the Lord had brought them
out of Egypt was plain enough, yet •they
were ascribing it to Moses and Aaron.
"God saw it necessary to give them a
daily miracle in the fall of the inanna,
that they might have the proof of his
divine interposition constantly before
• their eyes."—Clarke. 7. Glory of the
Lord—Zither this glorious work of God
in giving you bread from heaven, on the
glorious appearing of God in the elutin,
mentioned in verse 10.—Benson. Against

we murmur against God's servants we
are really murmuring against, God Him-

dently some particular place which had
been designated, where God appeared to
them in the cloudy pillar. The taber-
nacle was not built until some months
later.
10. The glory of the Lord—A glorious
manifestation of God's, presence in a;'
"thick cloud" (chap. 19, 9), This would
give them encouragement, them with
awe; and cause them to recognize God as
their almighty deliverer. 12, Heard the,
tuurmurings—"Would not God have sent
food if the Israelites had not complains
ecl? Most assuredly, and He would have,
sent it at a tinge and in a way far • bet-'
ter for them. God understands our needs,'
and loves us, and we can safely trust
,flim to met all our real wants." Ye slia1l
know—This wonderful miracle of sending
quails and manna was to Make them
know that their God was Jehovah.
IV. Quails and manna sent (vs. 13-
15.) 13. Quails—Quails were then as
now considered a delicacy. "Among the
Egyptians a quail was an emblem of
ease and plenty." Covered the eamp—
They flew low and were so tame that
the Israelites could take as many as
they chose. The children of Isreal were
again supplied with quails about a year
later (Num. 11, 31.) A small round

11, 7), and white like 'hoar frost." The
people gathered on an average about
three quarts for each Haan. It was dry
enough to grind and bake like grain, and
was pleasant to the taste. 15. Ibis usan-
na—' Wa,at is it?" R. V. They said .one
to another, "Man -hu?" whish means,
What i5 it? The manna was a type of
Christ: 1. It met a great need, 2. It was
not understood by Irra'el, so Christ was
not understood by those to whom he`
came. 3. It was all for the people, Christ
is for the world. 4. It had: 'to be gather-
ed early, eaeh day. 5. It was white and

PRACTICAL APPLICA.TIONS.
"Eat of the Hidden Manna" (Rev. 2, 17).
"Manna" (v. 15, John 6, 31), not given
by "Moses," bust by the "Father," was a
type of "the true bread. from heaven"
(John 6; 32.) Manna typified Christ, in
that it. wee:
1, Mysterious. Ite name was, "\Vicat
is this?" (v. 15, marg.) Jesus was not
understood (Ise. 53; 2 ;I. Tim. 3; 16).
2. Small (v. 14. Jesus was humble
(Phil. 2; S).
3. Round (v. 14.) Emblem of hie eter-
nity, without beginning or end (Heb,
7; 3; John'l; 1).
4. White, Representing his purity
(Heb. 7; 26).
5. Sweet. Type of his grace (John 1;
16).
G. Heavenly. It came from above.
Jesus carie "from heaven" (v. 4). Lereel
did not pay for the manna, God gave
them bread from heaven (v. 4). We can-
not buy things of God. The "Father giv-
eth the true bread" (John 6. 32.).
gave His Son (John 3. 10). "The' gi o',
God is eternal life through Jesus Christ"
(Rona. 0. 23). We cannot earn the gifts
of God, we cannot buy them, but they
are "freely" given (Bev. 21 6.) C. J.
Whittemore says: Passing down a
street in London, I met a man loudly
crying, `Herrings! three a penny!" TIo
came and offered his goods, which. I de.
dined. 'They are good and cheap, gover-
nor, but I cannot sell them,' he said.
`I do not at nil wonder,' I answered;
"the peop)e have no work to do, and they
cannot afford a penny. What will you
take for the lot?"Four shillings, and
glad to get it.' I gave it to him. 'Now,'
I
fetid, `go into the middle of the road
and shout, "Herrings for nothing?"' Af-
ter carefully examining his money the
went along shouting, `Herrings for noth-
ing!' Out of sight, I watched. A tall wee
man stood at the window. 'Here you aro
missus,' he exclaimed, `herrings for hath•
ing; a fine chance for yer, conte and
take 'em: The woman shook her head
unbelieving, and left the evindow. A
little child calve out, but eche was afraid
and ran in. Then in a loud voice he cried
`Oh, you fools!' Coming back, he said:
`Nobody wants 'elm' Von may be amus-
ed at this story, strictly true, but are
you sure you would not have been es
unbelieving as they? Nay, are you sure
you are not ten thousand times worse.
Unbelief only cost them hunger a little
longer, but what may unbelief cost you,
for God offers salvation for nothing?"
7. Angels' food (Num. 21. 5; Psa. 78
24, 25). Christ is the satisfaction of 'he,
angels (Heb. 1. 0).
8. Must be gathered (v. 16). Faith is
the hand 'outstretched to receive verist.
(John 1, 12). Mere intellectual assent
to a historical fact cannot save. "Faith,"
as the little Irish boy said, "is grasping
Christ with the heart," Or, as Hannah
Whitall SmitIh puts it, we must believe
two things—what God says concerning
Christ, and what lie says concerniug us.
Many who believe it is sin to doubt (rod's
testimony concerning Christ, think it
virtuous humility to doubt God's testi-
mony concerning themselves. They darn
not doubt that Jesus is the Christ, but
do doubt whether they are born of God.
Yet Gni inseparably joins the two.
Christ is born of God (1. John, 5 1).
Christ is born of oGd" (I. John 5, 1).
This present moment, "A11 - -..- believe
are justified" (Acts 13, 39). Justified
now, not in the future, when they feel
justified. If a paper were handed to you
for your signature, with the words"I
do not believe Jesus is the Christ," would
you sign it? If the alternative were
given you of denying Christ or going to
prison, would you not choose the prison?
Then believe the word of Jesus concern-
ing you. A right creed will of necessity
bring a right conduct. True faith will.
always be followed by works.
9. Must be eaten (v. 15). Meditation
is the mastication of the word of (io•d
and the Christ of God (Peas 119,97;. 104,
34). Like bread, Christ is a necessity:
lie is needed by the poorest and the rich-
est, the youngest and the oldest, the
weakest and the strongest. As nothing
is to nourishing and essential to Bodily
health as breed, so Christ is inclispens-

Shooting Tool Place in Pittsburg Office Building—
ail' Refused Prisoner.
Pittsburg, Pa„ July ,-- •A bitter feud
the exact cause' of wit h is shrouded in

in a desperate atteinp on the part of
Major T. Lemuel Harps, one of the most
prominent steel men i this city to kill
Levi DeWolf, ptobabl the wealthiest

The shooting took •`p•tee izt DeWolf's
office in the Columbi Bank building,
and has caused the gee test sensation in
;years. Back of the hooting is said
,to be a great social seaudal.
Major Harper, was armed with two
revolvers when he ehtered DeWolf's
:office a few minutes after 3 o'clock in
the afternoon and began firing at once
DeWolf and Adolphus Adams, another
broker, grappled with Harper, and after
a desperate battle he, was • disarmed
The police were summoned and in the
night Harper was locked in the Central
police station. 7)ireater-Ridgway, of ilia
department of public •safety, has refused
to permit his release on, bail.
The prisoner is resident secretaryof
the famous Americus Republican Club.
He'was for many years superintendent
of Ice J. Painter & Sons' steel mills, and
later acted as district manager for the
An;erican Steel Hoop Company. He is
considered a foremost expert in the
manufacture of steel.
DeWolf, the intended victim of Har-
per',, wrath, is a brother of Mrs. J. M.
Clunky, who is also a leading member
of the Americus Club. just how the
trouble between the :two men started
cannot be learned. Both refuse to talk.
Patrolman Miller had been attracted
by the shots; and placed Harper under
arrest.
Accompanied by several friends De -
Wolf called on Superintendent of Police
McQuade and Director Ridgway a short
time later. DelVolf asked that Harper
be held without bail until such informa-
tion as necessary could be procured
against him for felonious shooting
with intent to kill.

we • eat bread and never tire of it, so
Christ constantly satisfies every need.
No one can take from us what we have

Men may try to persuade us we have
no right to Him, the devil may tempt
us to think Ice does note: belong to us;
but neither men nor .demons can take
from us Him whom we have eaten. He
is ours, as an everlasting possession.
10. Must be assimilated. This is the
Holy Spirit's work. Fe (ling on Christ,
we are "strengthened with night by the
Spirit in the inner man" (Eph. 3, 16).
"The hidden manna" (Rev. 2,11), kept in
the ark of the covenant (Exod. 16, 33;
Heb. 0, 4), was a type .of "the mystery
of Christ" (Eph. 3, 4), the divine San of
God. Most of us are 'afraid of the "hid-
den things" (,ler. 3, 3', marg.). We shrink
back when He says, "ask me of things
to come" (Isa. 45, 11), and fear we shall
be accounted fanatics if we dare to ap-
propriate the promise";°"IIe will show you
things to come" (John 10, 13). To eat of
the hidden manna. is "to know the mys-
tery of the kingdom of God" (Mark 4,
11)"; 'the mystery of IIis will" (Eph. 1,
9); The mystery of godliness" (1. Tine.

Remarkable Declaration in a Letter of
Five Priests to Pius X.
London, July 1.—An open letter, ad-
dressed to Piux X., from five priests,
whose names, however, are withheld,
has just appeared in Beane. It is a. re-
markable reply to the Papal allocution
of April 17, when the holy father call-
ed'upon the Bishops to co-operate with
]rim in driving o'ut those who were sow-
ers of tares, apostles of montrous her-
esies and rebels who dreamed of the
renewal of dogma by a return to the
pure gospel, apart from the authority
of the church and of theology. The
authors, who are evidently members of
the Liberal Catholic movement, begin
by reminding the Pope of the burden of
his first encyclical, in which he invited
the eo-operation of all men of good wiil
in the Christian restoration of society.
It is because, believing in the sincerity
and the clear intelligence of that call,
they set themselves to employ the only
means -which could give it effect, that
fulminations are now launched against
them by the authority they thought
they were obeying. "Your programme,
Holy Father, of restoring all things in
Christ waS al noble one," says the letter:
"but remember that pious wishes and
the holiest intentions are not enough to
give. of set .)to it, and. that the way
which w _ . z chosen leads in an oppo-
er
which i d aimed at Ieeding back` in-
to the'' church. You have closed the
gates,against them. A frank and loyal
sincerity must be the guide of all atm
research, for all our work would be con-
trary to the Divine spirit, which is the
spirit of truth, if it were not guided by
the desire of objective truth."
