THE EXETER TIMES-ADVQCATE THE DELIVERANCE AT THE RED SEA Sunday, "July 2$—Exodus 13:17 to 15:21. ~ Golden Text The Lord is my strength and song, and He is -become- my salva­ tion.— (Exodus 15:2.) Would God ever lead any one who was trusting Him into a trap? Yes there are such things as God’s traps He may, for His own loving pur­ poses, lead His trusting children in- noto traps ib’onl which there is sible human escape. The Red Sea experience children of' Israel is one great historical cases, brought Israel out of Egypt with a high hand. He had-taken the life of the firstborn in every Egyptian family throughout the land, from that of Pharaoh on the throne to the.lowliest; and Pharaoh and the Egyptians had begged the Israelites to leave, before some worse disaster struck. It was a mighty host of the emancipated that left just after that midnight of tragedy, for Egypt and blessing for Israel: “About 600,000 on foot, that were men, besides children,” and a mixed mul­ titude with them, “and flocks, and herds, even very much -cattle.” The natural way for them to have- gone was almost due east from the .land of Goshen, where they lived, through the way,of the land of the Philistines\ into, Canaan, to which God had promised they should re­ turn. But “God led them not thro’ the way of the land of .the Philis­ tines, although that, was hear; for God said, Lest peradventure , the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt.” They would have had to fight their,way through the Philistines, and they were not ready for this. So God turned them in. a “southeastern di­ rection, till_they came right lip against the Red Sea.h But the Lord did not leave them without visible' evidence of His blessing and guidance. For “the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them.,the way; .and by night a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night.” This miracle continued dur­ ing all the many years of their wil­ derness wanderings. But' in turning them south and in leading them to the shores of the Red Sea, God led Israel straight in­ to- a trap, happened, fen terrible plagues or that God had brought people and himself, and decided to renew the duel with God He was, told, that the Israelities had fled; he saw bis land deprived of the immense volume and value of this slave labor; he cried out: “Why have we done this that we have let Israel go from serving us?” And ■on the instant he took 600 chosen chariots, with captains and a great military force, and set out in hot haste after the deserting .slaves.. . It did not take the ' Egyptians long to reach—-or almost reach— the Israelities. And God’s chosen people were trapped! To the south and east ■"was the impassable Red Sea; to the west, mountains and,, wilderness; north, at their rear, the’ army of Pharaoh. What would we have 'done in the same trap? This is what Israel did; they <pried out in bitterness Moses, “Because there were graves in Egypt, hast thou taken away to die in the wilderness? . For it had been better for us Serve the Egyptians, than that should die in the wilderness.” Was it reasonable to suppose that a God of love and mercy and mir- of of Go'd pos- the ■the had For now a strange thing Pharaoh forgot all the judgments upon his suddenly t.o no us to we acle-working omnipotence would ■bring His people Israel ,as far as this only to abandoh them? Might they have thought of that? Moses' faith stood like Gibraltar He answered the people’s bitter taunts with the word: "Fear y'e not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.” ‘ We know what followed. At Go^’s word Moses lifted his rod, stretched out his hand over the sea; the Lord causing a’strong wind to blow all that night, rolled the wat(era of the sea back, and th’e children of Israel passed through on dry land. As the Egyptians saw this they poured in­ to the bed of the sea after them. All night long the flight and the pursuit continued, Israel moving the JURY DECIDES CROMARTY WOMAN PIRD FROM . - -CAUSE UNKNOWN Several Witnesses Heard at the quest Held, at Stafl'a. A coroner's jury investigating death of Mrs. Frank Stagg, 24, of Cromarty, at the inquest held in the community hall at staffa on Thurs­ day, July 14th, failed, to determine how the popular young resident of Hibbert Township came -to her death, Mrs, Stagg was found dead at the- main intersection at Cromar­ ty shortly after nine o’clock on the evening of June 22. Members of the jury were out a little more than an hour and in a plain verdict Stated that they were steadily through, the Egyptians fol-j agreed that Mrs. Grace Stagg came lowing hard after—but with this to her death from some cause un­ difference; the supernatural, divine known.

After Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the sea shore, they “believ­ ed th'e Lord and His servant Moses” But that was not faith at all, that was sight. Faitii‘ is better than sight. How niuch better it would have been if the Israelities had be­ lieved when they could see no way of escape. The New Testament tells us that Moses “endured, seeing Him who is invisible.’’ 11.27.

The weather look a bit threatening, and Mr. Lowery thought he had better “get on with the haying,” and besides, he, said, “I can make more out of this hay than the boy can out of driving that horse.” Morn finished September Seventh. The hay­ field was clean by the time the races were finished. 1,283 MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS OCCURRED IN EARLY MORNING HOURS If you drive a motor vehicle of any kind, the next 'time you are tempted to relax viliglance because the hour is early and traffic light— don't. • ' - 1,283 accidents occurred in the province of Ontario last year be­ tween midnight and breakfast time Most of these accidents took place because drivers concluding there wasjft much competition for right- of-way, stepped on the accelerator just' a little harder than 'usual and took it for granted that' the ap­ proaching intersection or blind cur­ ve would be clear.
