THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time• -1520-1440 B.C. Plage. -The events identified twilit the birth of Moses took plana, ;probably. near the city of Tanis, one of the royal residences in the northeast of the Delta, near • the Mouth of. the Tanitie branch o.f the Nile. Tho call of Moses took place in Midian, hear Mount Sival. The Call of Moses "Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Milian: and he led the flock to the back of the wild- erness, and came to the mountain of God, unto Horeb. And the angel of Jehovah appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, be- hold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burned." What Moses Saw The hush which Moses beheld turning. was probably some spec- ies of ihorn. The fire was super- natural and did not affect the vegetative life of the bush. This it was that arrested the attention of Moses. The mode of the divine appearance is not without design. The bush that lives unscathed by the lairbent flame that winds round all its leaves and branches Is an emblem of that which is pure and holy, and therefore of the true Church of God in the furnace of affliction. The flame of fire corresponds with , the fiery trial through which the people. of God have had to pass, that the lusts of the flesh which had grown up in Egypt: might be consumed, and faith and its kindred virtues be left behind in all their vigor and beauty. What Moses Heard . "And when Jehovah saw that he turned aside to see. God called to ltini out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. And he said,' Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standeth is Holy ground." Egyptians, before the time of Moses, and Orientals generally, removed their sandals or their shoes on entering any place to which respect was due. It is worthy of notice that •God Himself orders this mark of re- apect to be shown to the place which His presence has hallowed. "My People" "Moreover", he said, "I am the Clad of thy father, the God of Ab- raham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look, upon God." These words are used by our Lord to prove to the Sad- ducees. 'who clung to the letter of the• Law, the truth of the resur- rection of the dead. "And Jehovah saki, I have sure- ly seen the affliction of my people that are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their task- masters: for I know their sor- rows." Now for the first time, God calls Israel "My People," thus making Himself their Ring and the champion of their cause. Principle of Mediation "And I am come down to deliver • them out of the land of the Egyp- tians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. And now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel el is come unto nte: moreover I have seen the op- plession wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. Come now there- fore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people- the children tie Israel out of Egypt." If God has Himself come down to •do the work of redemption what need of Moses? Throughout the entire scheme of divine gov- ernment we meet with the prin- ciple of mediation. God ever speaks to men and works for them • through the ' •instrumentality of Jaren. Moses' Humility "And Moses said unto God, who OM I, that '1 should go unto Phar- aoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?" The men most fit for great missions are apt to deem themselves unfit. In Moses' . case, 'forty years of exile and of a shep- herd's life had unfitted him for dealing with t a court and macre him a stranger to his brethren, JOven his age of eighty might well have .seemed to him unsnitable. God's Promise To Moses "And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be the torten unto thee, that I have sept thee: when thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall. servo Clod upon this Mona - taint." BEANS FOR ilUTCHI Butch, the English bull mascot of a battery at Camp Callan, Calif., has his own private mess kit, and is a bit irritated here as Sergi. Andy Yuhas pretends to steal a bite. God never asks any of us to undertake a great task until He Himself has first determined that this work must be done, that the hour is ripe for its accomplish- ment, and at the same time, that He will supply the strength, the wisdom, the guidance, and if need be, the miraculous intervention for the glorious achievement of that which He undertakes. Moses wanted to do this kind of work forty years before, but the hour bad not come for such a deliver- ance. We often may want to do that which God wishes to be done before the hour that God has ap- pointed for the doing of it. In the desire we are at one with God; we must watch that the execu- tion of the desire is also at the time God has set. SCOUTING .. . For the first time in •the history of Scouting in Canada 300 Boy Scouts camped overnight on June llth on the grounds of Rideau Hall, official residence of the Gov- ernor-General in Ottawa at the in- vitation of Ilis Excellency who is the Chief Scout for Canada. On the following day the Chief Scout attended a rally of several hun- dreds Wolf Cubs and Scouts on the grornds and briefly addressed them. * * * The youngest winner of the Bri- tish Empire Medal is a British Boy Scout from -Norwich, John David Grix, aged 15. The Scout was an air raid messenger and for two nights he rode .his bicycle through heavy bombing' to carry out his defense duties. The award was made for "courage and de- termination during heavy raids on Norwich." * * * Boy IScouts of Birmingham, Eng- land, as a good turn meet every train coming into the city each Saturday and deliver kitbags for servicemen and servicewomen. Teams of six work in relays, with four boys delivering bags, one act- ing cting as a guide, and another re- maining at the station as contact Mali. * * * An unique tribute to the Boy Scout Movement is paid by Lord Wedgewood, British labour peer, in his recently published book, "Testament to Democracy." In It he says: "Reflection leads me to the queer conclusion that of all the inventions of my age the three of real utility have been bicycle's, Boy Scouts and the cinema. As for Baden-Powell's Boy Scouts, I hope they are still doing their daily goad deed. There, imagin- ation has 1 fling is f ng as never before for theworking woe c ug class.

Jac Benny has lost his two script_ ae' gag writers to the Heil ed" State Army, and its just been noised ''! abroad that Fred Allen has offered to help plan and write the Jack • Benny programmes when they re turn to the air next fall. As both comedians accase one another of a lack of good laughs ou their re- spective shows, it should be inter- esting hearing what happens when they pool ideas. Fred Allen has been heard muttering the word "murder" recently. Whether he means to murder the Jack Benny ., show, .or Jack, or whether he ex-': pects to be murdered himself, time alone will tell. * * * Many followers of that whim- sical sisal microphone family, Vic and' t Sade, have been wondering during;; recent weeks what has happened,', to young Rush, who has been con spicuous by his absence from the radio gatherings.

Britain Does Not Want Fat Bacon Faced with the necessity of filling the large ..bacon orders placed in Canada by Britain, hog 'growers may be tempted to meet the requirements by following the line of least resistance, says The Windsor Star. This would be to increase the unit weight by fat- tening hogs more than usual. This, however, would be short- sighted policy. Such animals will not fill the bill. The Old Land wants lean bacon, and that • does not conte from fat hogs. The, Dominion Department of Agriculture advises farmers that a 220 -pound maximum for hogs should be observed. The breeders should do everything possible to comply. Little is gained by rais- ing huge animals which yield a product not of the quality de. mended. In fact, this could be a' serious factor in destroying itish confidence in us and dam- ging.='-our chances for retaining a rich market after the war. Spotlight To Aid In Sea Rescues Details of a tiny spotlight scarcely larger than a walnut but powerful enough to have a theo- retical range of 70 miles, were disclosed recently by the West- ingihouse Electric and Manufac- turing Ooinany's' lamp division. Ralph R. Brady, manager of commercial engineering at the lamp plant in Bloomfield, N.

Rafts are also be- ing radio -equipped and Brady said fliers adrift might oall for help over a distance of about 400 miles, these lead rescue ships the last few miles by using the light.
