Ephei ans 4:32. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—The chronology of this pea•iod of Israel's history has al- ways • been exceedingly difficult, but it is now almost unanimously believed that the" fall of Jericho took pace approximately 1400,B.C. Therefore, the events of this book neey .ue roughly dated as -from lge.t a../.`.y., ♦viii;., sa „szaziain either way of perhaps ten or twelve years. Place.—The first events of the book are located on the east side of tee Jordan, opposite Jericho. The rest of the events took place on the west side of the Jordan, Joshua himself dying at Shecltem. Joshua's Commission "Now it came to ,pass after the death c•f Moses the servant of Je- hovah,- that Jehovah spake unto Joshtea the son of Nun, Moses' ntitelster, saying, Moses nay servant is dead; now therefore arise, go oven this Jordan, thou,' and all this people, unto the land which I do give• to them, even to the.cltildren of Jeeeel." When. they crossed dire Jordait and entered the- promised land, it was .as though . they; were going -tut of an antagonistic world where they raid not belong into a land flowing with milk and honey, ,wtlliich was promised to tiietn of God. God's Gift To .Israel 'Every place that the. sole of your foot shall tread upon; to you have I given .it as 1 spake unto ;Roses." hundreds of tittles in the Word of God Palestine is designat- ed esi nat-ed as the land "that I have given unto you." It is the only land that God ever gave any particular people and that gift has never been withdrawn. "Front the wilderness, and this Lebanon, even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and .unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your border." The boundaries here designated for Is- raet's land were never reached even in the most glorious period of Israel's history under Solomon. Promise of Victory "There shall not any man 'be able to stand before thee alt. the days of my life: as I was with Moses, so 1 will be with thee; I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.". Here is a glorious promise of the presence, of God, and because of His presence, of • continual victory. God promised victory, but the vic- tory must he preceded by obedience and faith. As it •was in a physical realist, so trust it he in our spiritual conflict, new. , S'eCrei v£ , neeeneen, • "Be strong and of good cuter - _age; . . , that thou tiaayest have good ,success withersoever thou goest." The secret of strength and the guarantee of courage will be found in `observing to do accord- ing to all the law-,' turning not front it to the right hand or to the left. "This book of the taw shall not depart out of thy mouth . , for Jehovah thy God is with three whithersoever thou goest." Medi- tation, the familiarizing ourselves with the ethics of Scripture, so that when crises or dangers come, perhaps unexpectedly, we shall be able to decide our conduct — that is essential to all successful Chris- tian life. Joshua's Last Words "And it carne to pass after many days, when Jehovah had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, - . and ye shall possess their land, as Jehovah your God spake unto yoke" Joshua in his last words under- takes a dual task, first to encour- age the Israelites to go on with the work which had been so mightily begun under his own leadership, and then to warn therm not to depart from the law of God, for if the}- did, God would. surely bring defeat and disaster upon ,them, as He had told Moses Lang before, Ile was ready to go; he had chute his work. He had rightly en couraged the Israelites to obed-.. ience to the divine law, and he had set before them a perfect example in his own life, Photographs Taken Via Sub Periscope The Navy permitted May 23 dis- closure of a hitherto secret camera by which steady and accurate "fish-eye" pictures may be taken through the perisc,tpe of a sub- merged submarine.

Red Cross Storing Parcels In Geneva An extra 30,000 tons of parcels for British prisoners of war in Germany is to be stored in Geneva under arrangements just concluded by tate International Red Cross Committee. Plie committee feared that, with the gradual breakdown of com- munications throughout Europe and the possibility of a general nti- heaval when the Second Front op- ens, feeding arrangements for Bri- tish captives might be seriously affected. Consequently the Red Cross are accumulating huge stocks of par- cels at places where they can be rushed to Germany.

Ladino clover, he says, is the most satisfactory forage on all scores. Other plants that rate as good all-round forage include Kentucky blue grass, bronze grass and white clover.

Can you imagine any, thing worse than to have time on your hands — time to listen to the radio; time to sit and think; to let your imagination run riot, conjur- ing up all the possible and impos- sible things that may be happening on the beaches of Normandy and the battlefields of Italy? Of course we all like to, listen to the news some time during the day — let fact I must confess that when D -Day finally arrived I arranged my work so that I could work and listen too. I had the choice of several jobs that day. I could work in the • garden, wash or paint the pantry. I chose to paint the pan- try and in that way I was able to listen to the radio most of the day. without wasting any tithe. There were very few bulletins that I mis- sed and I was always ready and eager to relay the Iateat news to Partner any time he came near the house. Incidentally, the band music which interspersed the news I found'to be a splendid accompani- ment to painting. Try it sometime — you will be suprised how well your paint brush slips along to the time of marching music. * * That same night I went down to the special D -Day service. It was good to see how many people responded to the call for special prayers. I think, too, it filled a need for self-expression for many persons it was something THEY could do — a definite link be- tween. the battle and the home front. And now time marches ;n . ' We have more or less got over the in- itial excitement of the invasion with most of us making some attempt to carry on as normally as possible — hoping and praying for maximum results with a mini - MUM loss of life. * ' * Well, as I was saying I stained nt13 to paint the parity; an -Day took tete rest of the week to fin- ish it.
