• }IE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Tease.—...1445 B.C.
Pias.—The Passover feast it-
self was observed only in the
land of Goshen where the Jews
were then living, but the plagues
recorded here, of course, occur-
red throughout the whole land of
Egypt, and the conversations that
erre recorded here probably took
place in the city of Zoan, known
also as Tanis, where was located
kine aoh's palace.
Moses' Prayer
"And. Moses returned unto
Jeho ale, and said, Lord, where-
fore hast Thou dealt ill with this
people? Why is it that Thou
hast sent me? For since I came
to Pharaoh to speak in Thy name,
he hath dealt ill with this people;
neither hast Thou delivered Thy
people at all." Moses was discour-
aged with the want of immediate
success, which led hint into a bold
complaint against God; first for
sending hien; and then for fail-
ing, as it seemed to him, to keep
His word in the deliverance of
the people. Jesus knows our weak-
nesses and is ready to help. He
knows what it is to have suf-
fered and wept over a stiff-
necked ,people — Ile .knows how
to be touched with this feeling
of oar infirmity.
God Reassures Moses
."And Jehovah said unto Moses,
Now shalt thou see tdbat I will
do to Pharaoh: for by a strong
hancnd shall he let them go, and
by a strong hand shall he drive
the out of the land. And God
snake unto Moses, and said unto
him, I am Jehovah: and I ap-
peared unto Abraham, unto
Isaac. • and unto Jacob, as God
Almighty; but by My name Jeho-
vah I was not known to thein."
The direction which Moses
now received from God conveyed
a fresh assurance that God would
certainly accomplish His purpose;
it gore a fuller revelation of His
character as Jehovah, with the
special promises whieh this im-
plied (6:2-8) ; and it renewed
the commission to' Moses to
undertake the work, accompanied
by. encouragement and assar-
once.

less, He showed that He had not
forgotten His promise given to
the :!ethers; that He had .all aio_ng
been preparing its fulfillment;
and that neither the resistance of
Pharaoh, nor the might of Egypt,
could stay His hand.

".rind I have also established
nny covenant with then, to give
them the land of Canaan, the land
of their sojourninngs, wherein they
eejourned. And moreover 1 have
heard the groaning of the chil-
dren of Israel, whom -the Egyp-
tians keep hi bondage; and I
have remembered my covenant.
Wherefore say unto the children
of Israel, I am Jehovah, and I
will bring you out from under
the burdens of the Egyptians,
and I will rid you out of their
bondage, and I will redeem you
with an outstretclied arm, and
with great judgments: and I will
take you unto me for a people,
and I will be to you a. God; and
ye shall know that I am Jehovah
your God, who bringeth you out
from under the burdens of the
Egyptians."
This is henceforth to be the
word of encouragement, of au-
thority, and .of fellowship bo
Israel. It reminds them that God
is now active in their behalf;
that it is God who is thus active,
and that He is present to dwell
in the midst of them as a father
among his adopted children. ,
They shall know by actual ex-.
perienoe that He is all that is
implied in the name Jehovah, an
actual, and therefore tried, de-
liverer.... I am the Lord.. This
sentence is here repeated for the
third time in this message, en-
hanced by all the emphasis which
the distinction made between the
divine names (v. 3) has added
to its meaning, It is the seal of
God thrice stamped upon His
promise.

The difficulty of
handling so vast a body and
marching them from Goshen to
the • Red Sea, and from the Red
Sea to Sinai must have been very
great, The whole Sinaitie district

men tvlio tended .them, But the

While we're on a subject sug-

appropriate to mention that there
have been fewer summertime

the popular quiz shows on CFRB

For several weeks past radio
stations across Ontario have been
co-operating in the effort to get
temporary workers to go out on
the farm. The CBC and privately
owned stations who have been
working together in the national
agricultural interests appear to
have done quite an effective job.
Girls from the city have flocked
to the farms right after school
closing, to lend a hand during the
summer months, Farms say they
can use then all and more. The
respcnse from 'teen age boys,
however, has not been as good as
the farmers hoped for. There is
still plenty of opportunity where-
by young lads can offer their
services during the harvesting
season. How about it, boys? You
wouldn't want the girls to 'beat
you out, would you?
