r01 last lesptson and this t
nd eon-
tarn solidly laws cove;'ing in . de-
tail the legislation relating to tab -
baths, feasts, the furnishings' a.nd
appointments of the tabernacle and
the regulations governing its ser-
vices. .All these, according to the
narrative, were revealed to Moes
in the recesses of 'the mountain
where he met witle Jehovah face to
face., Joshua had accompanied him
part of ,the way, and for , a still
shorter ' distance' Aaron, Nadab,
Abihu, ;and seventy of the elders
of Israe1 also' (compare ; Exod. 24.
1-15). Whilee
Moses tarried the
eo le
p p aithe foot of the munnta
became mpatiens of his returnin.
The, story of their impatience and
apostasy and . the consequent dis-
pleasure of Jehovah is related in
the opening verses, .of our lesson
chapter.
Verse 15. Went down from the
mount-Returnedunto the camp
of Israel. -
Two tables -Or tablets of stone,
already mentioned in 31. 18.
16. The tables were the work of
God -Not so, however, the "two'
tables of stone like unto the first,"
which subsequently were'substitut-
ed for these and which. Moses him-
self, at the command of Jehovah,
hewed out of" the stone on the
mountainside (compare Exod. 34
1-4).
The writing was the writing of
God -So also in the subsequent
table (Excel. 34. 1). '
17. Joshua -Who had now rejoin-
ed Moses on his way down the
mountain.
The noise of the people -Great
demonstrations of religious fer-
vor, including especially singing
and dancing, were characteristic
of religious ceremonies in ancient
times. -
18. The noise of them that Ging
-It was not the sound of con-
flict, -but of festive singing, which
came from the camp.
19. Moses' anger waxed hot -
Once before in his early life had.
Moses grown exceedingly angry to
the point of losing control of him-
self. On this occasion his anger
Caused him to east the tables of
the sacred testimony out of his
hands and break them.
20. . The calf -A symbol ` of
strength, borrowed from the re-
ligion of the Egyptians.
Burnt it with fire -The 'image
would be cast over a wooden core.
Made the children of Israel drink
of it -Implying that this drinking
would cause disease in those guilty
of idolatry, -
Verses 21-59', record the appeal
which Aaron'.inade in behalf of the
eople and the relentless punish-
ment inflicted by the loyal sons of
Levi at the command of Moses.
30. Sinned a great sin -They
had not only broken a definite pro-
; mise, but in doing so had been
guilty of gross ingratitude toward
Jehovah.''
Peradventure I shall make atone-
ment for your sin -Appease
some way the wrath of Jehovah,
apparently by offering himself • in
their stead to be blotted out of the
roll of God's people.
32. Forgive their sin-; and if
not, blot me', I pray thee, out of
thy book -We are to supply in
thought the ellipsis indicated by
the dash, inserting some such
words as "well and good," or "1
am,content," or "I have no more
to say." The broken phrases indi-
cate the deep feeling of Moses.
34r 35. I will vvisit their 'sin
uponon
them -It
is not clear whether the
threatened visitation of punish-
ment is to be thought of as follow-
ing 'immediately, or at some later
time. From the expression, "And
Jehovahsmote the people," . some
have inferred the former, while
others think that the punishment
referredto was, the ultimate per-
ishing of the• entire- generation in
the wilder.ness,• specifically men-
tioned in Num. 14, 85: "In this wit
derness•.they shall be consumed,,
and there they shall die."

Joseph Smith Is a Man of Remark-

President Joseph Smith, heart of
the Mormon Church throughout the
world, has just made a visit to Can-
ada, and while here dedicated the
ground for the first Mormon Temple
on British soil. The occasion was
marked by a civic celebration in the
town of Carcls„on, Alberta, where
the event occurred. Tho president
canto in a private train with his
councillors, bishops, and advisors,
and spent three days on Canadian
soil.
The Mormon' people are making
rapid gains in Canada.,They are
the pioneers of Southen Alberta,
and own upwards of 200,000 acres of
land in this country.. Seven years
ago the Church purchtvsed one treat
of 67,000 acres, which is being colo-
nized with people from. Utah.

THE
FATHER'S BUSINESS
Time and Again Our Ways Are , Not God's Ways,
and Our Purposes Not His Purposes.
Wrist ye not that I most be
about my Father's' business,
Luke ii;, ivivix.
It was with these words that the
'boy Jesus addressed his paren,s
:when they found frim among the
doctors in the temple and asked
'biro why he had deserted them.
'Thus early olid the ,Nazarene indi-
cate Ilia determination to devote
'His life exclusively to the work of
Gocl, and that this resolve had its
origin in something more than an
idle boast or a youthful dream or
a passing enthusiasm is impres-
sively shown by every detail of His
later career. From the time that
He first rose in the
synagogue of
His native town "to preach
the ac-
ceptable year of the Lord," to the
time when He was seized in the
holy city' by the servants of Caia
phos He 'Was as one consecrated to
a sacred mission. Nothing seemed
to have any claim upon His time
and attention as compared with the
business of the Father. To do the
'things which. God wanted done an

that there is in ns off l o

these tasks has been attended to,

i that God :lives, and that there is
some business of His which needs

Nor is is the Worst!
It is bad enough to make the
!Father's business wait . upon the
petty things which ive would do for
ourselves, But what shall we say
when the 'business is not 'only neg-
lected, but actually opposed? That
alis is not infrequently the case
is shown clearly enough by the fact
I that much of the cherished, busi-
ness of men is in open antagonism
to the will of God, and can succeed
only by defeating this will, In all
such cases we have.to •choose as to
whether we shall do what we want
or what God wants -what will
serve us for a fleeting moment, or
what evil serve God through all '
'eternity. And tell too often when
Such fateful choices have to be
made we have the effrontery to
look out simply for ourselves. In
'other words we not only shut the
Father's ,business .altogether out of
our lives, but when there arises
conflict between our business and
his we defy Him, thwart Him, fight
Him!
Now to all this the career of
Jesus presents an exact antithe-
sis. His business, if He had any
apart from that of God, had to
wait, and if by any chance this
business was hostile to that of God
it was dropped forthwith. Thus was
His life with God, and God's also
with Him 1 - Rev. John Haynes
Holmes, •
This Was His One Task.
Not only must nothing -else inter-
fere with this divine work, but to
His mind nothing else was even
'worth doing at all! Life is.
-time Resting -strength limited!
Therefore must all we have and all
we are be dedicated exclusively to
God.
To the ordinary man there is
something altogether remote -not
to say unreal -about thiscingleness
of purpose which was so supremely
characteristic of the Nazarene. And
naturally so, as the ordinary man
exactly reverses the example of the
Master. What Jesus pitt first,
most of us put second --and a bad
second at that! The thing of prime
importance with us is our business,
and not the Father's. There are
lands that we want to buy, goods
that we want to manufacture, in -

STORY OF DAN CRAWFORD,
Spent Twenty -Three Years in the
Heart of Africa..
A Scotcltm.an, who lost himself in
the heart of Africa for 23 yews, and
who recently produced a book call-
ed "Thinking Black," has now ar-
rived in America. He is known as
Dan -not Daniel -Crawford, The
missionary author is a short :man
with sandy hail', beard and mous-
tache. He has sharp flashing eyes
and a manner of speaking rapidly
and with great emphasis.
"For 23 years," said Mr. Craw-
ford on his arrival, "I never woro a
eollar, never' saw a train of cars,
and hardly ever-s,polce to a white
man. I really feel more negro than
white man. A quarter of a century
ago I was a young man and I was
dying from consumption, I heard
that the climate of Africa would be
good for my trouble, and I Tient
there as a missionary, 1 struck
into the heart of the country alcna
and lived by my rise.
