B. Warren, B.A. B.D. The Conquest of Canaan .Joshua 1:1-7; 6: 1-5, 20. Memory Selection: As I was with Moses, so I will be with thee. -- Joshua 1: 5, 6. Joshua and Caleb were the only adults who left Egypt and were privileged to enter Canaan. Jo- shua successfully led Israel in its first encounter with the Amalekites while Aaron and Hur were the two faithful spies who recommend- ed that Israel go up and possess the land. He became a minister to Moses. On the death of Moses he. became the servant of the LORD and assumed the leadership of Is- rael. When they crossed the Jordan they came to the walled fortress of Jericho. The manner in which the city was taken was unique. God, as the efficient cause, was magnified before all men, His ark and • his ministers, by their prominence, at the head of the procession, were especially honored in the eyes of Israelite and Canaanite. The course of proceeding so unmilitary and ap- parently absurd was a severe test of the faith of Israelites in Je- hovah. But the walls fell when the ` people had made their thirteenth trip around the city and had shout- ed and the priests had blown their trumpets. The incident encouraged the Israelites and struck terror to the hearts of the Canaanites. The next encounter ended in de- feat. Covetous Achan had appro- priated an accursed garment and and stolen gold and silver that was to have been given to God. Thirty- six men were killed. The wicked one was discovered and he, his family and his property destroyed. Among the events of special in- terest are the deceit of the Gideon- ites, and the sun and moon standing still as Joshua continued the battle. Truly Joshua proved God's promise, "As I was with Moses, so 1 will be with thee," to be true. God buries His workmen but carries on His work. He never wearies! How comforting to realize that the same God is ours today. CROSSWOR PUZZLE ACROSS 1. Actuality 6. Astern 8. Black bird 12. Scent 18. Pasture 14. Military assistant 16.

Right now I could write a pretty good story on "The In- convenience of Conveniences." Just about everything that could go wrong has gone wrong around here during the last few weeks. And trying,, to get anything .fixed is a nighttilare. * First of all the radio went: dead. I took it downtown. "Okay," said the radio fellow, • "leave it here - we'll look after it in a day or two." * * "A day or two!" I repeated, "for goodness' sake, 'it won't take more than ten minutes to put in a new tube! I am sure that's all that is wrong' with it. I know by the way the radio acted." My indignation really worked. In fifteen minutes I was out of the store with the radio under my arm all fixed up and ready to go. * * * Next on the list of casualities was a warming pad. But that could- n't be fixed and since it has be- come a necessity around here there was nothing for it but to buy a • new one. 4: * * Then something happened to our outside lights. The three-way switch that operates the pole light would-' n't work. Neither would the light over the front door. And it wasn't a burnt out bulb in either case. It was ten days before we could get a man in to fix them -about half an hour's work. While the elec- trician was here I got hien to look at our electric kettle -the plug used/ to get so hot we could smell Ow rubber. He finally put on a new plug after discovering the old one had almost burnt through from the inside. With a solid rubber plug it is impossible to tell what is happening. I ant telling you this as a warning . , no one can be too careful , with electrical. appli- ances. But I wonder how many fires have been started by Lasing some- thing that needed fixing -but which nobody had time to fix. There is some talk these days of unemploy- ment -but there se -ems no sign of it when anyone wants a iob done. * :u * We thought we had come to the enol of our :"fixing" troubles and then tonight my typewriter started acting up -so things don't have to be electrified to give trouble. This time 1 didn't wait for a mechanic. I turned the typewriter upside down, watched to see which levers did what, found where they were sticking and then brushed them lightly with oil. That's ail and now it works. * Oh, but I mustn't forget to tell you about the clock! We have a very nice little 8 -day travelling clock that was given us as a wed- ding present. Last week it got tired' and would go only for about five minutes at a time, Since it would run that length of tine I concluded there was nothing broken and that maybe it might be particles of dust stopping the delicate mechanism. So I set the clock on a chair, open - eft up the back, and blew into it with the vacuum tube_ standing a little distance away so as to re- duce the air . current. And the clock • has been ticking merrily ever since. * * Come to think of it, most of our worries occurred last week -elec- tion week -maybe that accounts for all the trouble. Certainly the air was charged enough to upset the balance of any intricate contrap- tion. I'll leave it at tltati * * * One thing around here that works perfectly is an old-fashioned octagon -shaped wooden mouse trap in which I have caught 14 moose mice during the last week. And still they conte. I believe they come in from the field as fast as I catch them in the house. Joe is quite ready to eat the mice once I have caught them but he would much rather hunt them in the field than sit waiting for thein to come out of hiding in the pantry. And Honey goes mouse -hunting too. She spends hours out in the pas- ture field snooping along the ground, digging holes, burrowing into the ground, almost standing on her head until all we can see is her hindquarters above the ground. VtThen she gets tried she comes home - dirty and happy - little clumps of dry dirt sticking to her paws, which go click -clack over the floor as if she were shod with horse -shoes. At which stage she is introduced to the cellar. Children's Feet Need. Extra Care The shoes you choose for your children now, help to build strong, healthy feet when they grow up. On the other hand, poorly fitted, improper footwear can so deform chqdren's feet that they are sure to know the misery of foot troubles as adults. If keeping up with growing feet cuts holes in your budget, skimp on other items of clothing. Noth- ing does more to spoil. the foot than ill-fitting shoes. Even with the right fit, a young child may grow out of a size in a month. Until the age of fifteen, the average child grows out of a shoe size in anywhere from one to six months. Shoes should be about three- quarters of an inch longer than the longest toe, leather should hug at heels, To be sure shoe is wide enough, pinch leather, across toes. If it won't lift, shoe is narrow.: Don't let a child wear hand-me- down shoes (even if they're hardly worn), unless you are sure the shoes meet the above requirements, This is a must. Low-cut, laced oxfords are still the hest -in looks and in construction. If you choose shoes with straps, the straps should be placed so they give the sane kind of support around the instep that lacing would.

A woman buying a hat may spend an hour's agony of indeci- sion over which of several suits her best. Yet a Fatalist would argue that all her anxiety is, wasted; that her final selection is predestined even before she enters the hat shop! That's also the Mohammedan's belief. Z 'hateier befalls hint, gond or bad, he attributes to .fate. -Kis- met -against wit:ch he considers it useless to struggle. It makes hint a fearless soldier, but a lazy work- er. For he fights on the theory that if a bullet "has his name on it," it might just as well find him a hero in the front rank as skulking in the rear. The sante argument holds in his daily life. Why slave and toil when his destiny is al- ready "in the bag"? If he is doom- ed to starve, then starve he will writes Deret karat in "Tit -Bits." Scientists have long scoffed at such notions. Yet they are borne out remarkably from time to time by strange examples of "identical twins,"whose lives have mysteri- ously followed an exactly similar course -although the individuals concerned may have been separated from birth, unaware even of each other's existence. Edwin and Fred Nestor were identical twins, born in Nebraska but separated as babies. Unknown to each other, they lived exactly similar lives. Both married girls of the same weight, coloring and • height -and from the same town. They both became fathers of sons at the same age, and each followed the sante career of electrical en- gineering. But perhaps the most astonishing and inexplicable. factor of all is that when the twins ' were finally re -united as grown men (and even their wives couldn't tell then apart) they each owned identical fox ter- rier pets -named Trixiel One day a seventy -year-old car- penter was admitted to a Massa- chusetts hospital with stomach trouble, later diagnosed as a dread disease. The surgeons noticed, in- cidentally, that the old fellow's nose had been broken at some time in his life and that he had been operated on unsuccessfully for hernia. Imagine their amazement, there- fore, when another carpenter, sev- enty years old, also with signs of a broken nose and an unsuccess- ful hernia operation, was admitted to the hospital. He was an identical twin: of the first patient; and he had precisely the sante symptoms of 'disease. Do examples like these bear out the "what is to be will .be", argu- ment? When two men, living separ- ate individual lives, follow such exactly similar paths from cradle to grave,. one is led seriously to consider that perhaps all our des- tinies are determined at birth. It is, of course, only with identical twins that this theory can be tested. Nor must identical twins be con- fused with ordinary twins. They are far rarer, virtually "soul -nates" since they are born of the same germ cell which has divided, just as a single match might split, leav- ing two matches of identical wood. So are the very bodies and minds of identical twins of the same grain. This would account for the bond of sympathy that exists between them. It explains why identical' twins think and feel alike, have the same hopes and desires. It's the answer to the. strange tele- pathy that exists between pretty twin American singing sisters Mar- ian and Mary Wild, who kept se- parate diaries . . . until one day they compared then and. discovered that what they had written corres- ponded almost word for word. Af- ter that they saved their energies: kept one- diary and wrote it up on alternate days! RE L EVED IN A .JIFFY" L ' And the RELIEF IS LASTING • For fast relief from headache get INSTANTINE.
