Joshua Renewing the Covenant. With
Israel-Josb. 24: x4-28.

merits. In this address• Joshua ealls their
attention to the many thins (4od had
done for them. An idol emder do nothing
for -any one, why then did they cling to
idols? In, sincerity and in truth -With-
out hypocrisy. "The Latin word from
which our `sincerity' conies, denotes
`honey without wax; unmixed purity.
The Greek word iti considered by same
to be founded on the idea eaf soinotriug
held up in the rays of the sun, and prov-
ed to be without speck or flaw." -Coln.
Bib. Pitt away the g(1 -.-it would seem
from these words that there were some
anion; them who privately kept the im-
ages or gods which had belonged to their
forefathers. The gods which their fore-
fathers worshiped were (1) the gods of
the Chaldeans, They worshiped ed fire( light

The images worshiped by the Egyptians
which were the ape, serpents, vegetables,
etc. The inhabitants of Canaan also wor-
shiped idols, which world become a snare
to Israel unless they put away all hea-
then worship. Joshua saw that they
could not be sincere in divine worship
and use idols. Beyond the River (R. V.)

tions of blessings for obedience and pun-
isiilnent for disobedience. "Their con-
seienee will be their witness, judge and
executioner;"
23. Put away, etc. -Prove your inten-
tions at once. Begin the work of refor-
mation before your hearts harden
against your promise. Let the Heart
incline toward God, and the acts of the
life will harmonize with the divine will.
24. Will we serve -The thought of
prompt action did not ohange them,
but only settled their minds more fully
The better they understood. the more
determined were they to obey. The ser:
vitae of sin is wrong, degrading, painful,
destructive; the service of God is right,
exalting, happy, saving. God's service is
reasonable, worthy of our beet efforts.
25. Joshua made a covenant -A eov-
ennnt had been concluded by God on
Sinai iwith Israel and solemnly. ratified
(I.xod. 10, 20). This covenant Ivioses
had renewed in the field of Moab (Dent.
29, 1).
IV. A memorial stone (vs. 26'28). In
these verses we are told that Joshua put
their covenant in writing and erected a
memorial stone under An oak. This
monumental atone would remind them
of the vows they had made and be. a wit-
ness to future generations. God under-
took to make it easy for them to remem-
ber to do the right, and He held them
responsible for the fulfilment of the
voles that they had the". solemnly made.
PRACTICAL AI'PL[CATJONS.
T. Reasonable service. "Now, there-
fore, serve him". (v. 14). "Therefore....
will we also serve the Lord" (v. 18).
Joshua's •call and the people's choice
were based upon a review of what Uod
had done for them. So we who are
"justified by faith," because "Christ died
