THE LESSON IN ITS. SETTING
Tune '—Joshua lived from 1537
B.C.--1427 B.C.
fleet:—The Jordan River is
that twisting, rapid body of water
dividing. eastern and western Pal-
estine, flowing from the Sea of
Galilee to the Dead Sea in the
south; S} echem was located in
Ephraim between mounts Ebel and
Geririm on,., the highway between
Judaea and Galilee; Timnath-ser-
ah vias five miles southwest of
Sheathers), and seven utiles north
of Shiloh.
Joshua appears in the Old Tes-
tament narrative considerably "be-
fore the events recorded in the
first passage assigned in our les-
son. Thus in Exod. 17: 9-14, we
find him -assigned by Moses the
task of choosing men to go out
and fight with Amalek, a conflict
in which Joshua was victorious;
in Exod. 24: 13, Joshua is called
the "minister" of Moses, meaning
"his helper".
The New Leader
At the command of the Lord
Moses took Joshua, the son of
Nun, in whom dwelt the Holy
Spirit, and, setting him before
Eleazar, the priest, and' before all
the congregation he laid his hands
upon hire and gave him a charge,
the words of which are recorded
in Deut. 31: 7,8.
Immediately upon the death of
Moses, God finally confirms previ-
ous promises to Joshua, end leads
him into the great task immed-
iately bofere him with a gloriously
encouraging and strengthening
message.
2. Moses my servant is dead;
now therefore arise, go over this
Jordan. The major part of Pales-
tine and the great proportion of
event: in sacred history are lo-
cated on the western side of the
Jordan river; the territory on
the eastern side is, for the most
part; quite barren, and today very
sparsely populated. Thou, and all
this people, unto the land which
I do give to them, even to the
children of Israel. Palestine Is re-
ferred to as a gift of God nearly
two hundred times in the Old Tes-
"tament, beginning as far back as
the twelfth chapter of the book of
Genesis. Five hunched years have
oI
now passed since that early prom-
ise, and God is now about to bring
to fulfillment the hopes of the
children of Teeeel for a permanent
home.
3. Every place that the sole of
your foot shall tread upon, to you
have T given it, as I spake unto
Moses. Cf. Deut. 11: 24; Josh.
14: 9.
Land of Promise
4. From the wilderness. This
wilderness is what is known as the
wilderness of Arabia or the desert
of Arabia, located to the south.
And this Lebanon. This refers to
the great mountain range known
as the Lebanon Mountains far
north in Syria. Even unto the
great river, the river Euphrates.
The nearer of the two great rivers
of Mesopotamia, about 1,780
miles long, mentioned as one of
the rivers of the Garden of Eden.
(Gen. 2: 14). All the land of the
Hittites. And unto the great sea
toward the going down of the eun.
This, of course, refers to the Med-
iterranean Sea. Shall be your bor-
der. This huge territory was nev-
er fully occupied by the Israelit-
ish people in all the hundreds of
years that intervened between the
conquest under Joshua and the
Captivity under Nebuchadnezzar,
eight hundred years later.
5. There shall not any man be
able to stand before thee all the
days of thy life; as I was with
Moses, so I will be with thee; .1
will not fail thee, nor forsake
thee.
6. Be strong and of good cour-
age; for thou shalt cause this peo-
ple to inherit the land which I
sware unto their fathers to give
them. One might say that Joshua
was to be strong both negatively
and positively — he was to be
strong in resisting temptation, and
he was to be strong in carrying
out the task which God gave him.
Approximately twenty -fine years
have passed since the death of
Moses and the entrance of the
children of Israel into Palestine.
Joshua is now an old man (1.10
years of age).
14. Now therefore fear Jeho-
vah, and serve him in sincerity
and in truth; and put away the
gods which your fathers served
beyond the River, and in Egypt;
and serve ye Jehovah. Put •away
all the images of the dead deities
of the ancient world, who could
never give to them one tiny par-
ticle of all the grace and wealth
that God had conferred upon
them.

• IIOW SOUNDS ARE MADE
When you hear tl t realistic thun-
der rumbling or crashing explosions
on a radio program, you have, no
doubt wondered how they were
made. This phase of radio work is
one of great interest. Here's the

Thunder—By beating a woolly
.a'umstick on an electrically charg-
ed screen contacting a pickup, a
very realistic thunder crash is
made.
Rain—Is imitated by birdseed
thrown or a revolving die- fed by
a hopper into a chute.
Airplane—Easy! Just massage a
tom-tom with an electric vibrator.

Remember the days when no
studio would ever admit that any
actor had a double
for any stunt?
They used to make
Douglas Fairbanks
have one some-
times, when the
stunt was too dan-
gerous—and he'd
manage to do it
himself when the

show 'that he

Speaking of Flynn ---recently he
worried Warner Brothers no lit-
tle. He bought a new yacht, and
decided to go on a six months'
trip in search of adventure. The
executives objected. They finally
gave hint three weeks off. He had
to go to Miami to get the yacht;
he was to sail it through the canal,
and fly to Hollywood to work in
"Sister Act". Off he went, and
off he stayed. He spent four
weeks in Miami. A studio repre-
sentative went after him, and
-went back without him. So Jef-
frey Lynn, whose face isn't ex-
actly familiar on the • screen as
yet, was given the lead in "Sister
Act," with everybody cheering
for him, and now the studio's de-
lighted with his work. It may be
another of those cases where a
star walks out and a new star
walks right in.
If Jeffrey Lynn does climb to
stardom he can thank Bette Davis
for giving him a start. While ap-
pearing in a road company of a
New York stage success he was
given a screen test by Metro.
Nothing came of it so far as Met-
ro was concerned, but Miss Davis
saw the test and wanted Lynn for
a role in "Jezebel." He didn't
get it, but Warner Brothers liked
the test and gave the young man
a contract.
Every Man's Choice
15. And if it seem evil unto
you to serve Jehovah, choose you
this day whom ye will serve;
whether the gods wlfich your fath-
ers served that were beyond the
River, or the gods of the Amor-
ites, in whose land ye dwell. A
choice not only must be made by
men, but a choice is made by ev-
ery lean. All human life de-
mands a God. The men most
loud in their declaration today
that there is no God and will not
have God are worshipping a God
all the time. Human life is so
constructed that it cannot live
without an object of devotion,
something that appeals to desire
and to which all life is responsive.
But as for nue and my house, we
will serve Jehovah. A man of
Joshua's achievements, a man of
his unquestioned character, a man
to whom millions of Israelites had
looked for guidance and leader-
ship, that man has an enormous
influence over others, and now he
is going to throw that influence,
with all the power he possesses,
into his pleading with the people
of Israel to follow the only true
and living God.
16. And the people answered
and said, Far be it from us that
we should forsake Jehovah, to
serve other gods; 17. For Jeho-
vah our God, he it is that brought
us and our fathers up out of the
land of Egypt, from the house of
bondage, and that did those great
signs in our sight, and preserved
us in all the way wherein we
went, and among all the peoples
through the midst of whom we
passed; 18. and Jehovah drove
out from before us all the peo-
ples, even the Amorites that dwelt
in the land; therefore we also will
serve Jehovah; for he is our God.
19. And Joshua said unto the
people, Ye cannot serve Jehovah;
for he is a holy God; he is a jeal-
ous God; he will not forgive your
transgression nor your- sins. 20.
If ye forsake Jehovah, and serve
'foreign gods, then he will turn
and do you evil, and consume you,
after that he hath done you good.
Joshua. realizes that these peo-
ple do not fully apprehend
the profound significances and
consequences of what they are
saying. Joshua does not say
that God will not forgive sin
when sin is confessed and put
away, but he does declare that he
will not continue to bless his peo-
ple and blot out their iniquities,
or bear them away, if they con-
tinue in their sin and forsake the
Lord their God.
21. And the people said unto
Joshua, Nay; but we will serve
Jehovah. They repeated previous-
ly expressed confidence in their
own ability to serve the Lord and
obey his law, and by their public
protestation bale witness against
themselves if they ever broke
their engagement.
Following this, Joshua set tap a
. stone on this very spot, which for
all tho generations to follow would
he a reminder to Israel of what
had taken place that day.

A 44 - year - old Melbourne ex -

just ridden 578 miles from Mel-
bourne to Sydney on a child's tri-
cycle.
Pointless sort of thing to do,
you think? Not at all. Re did it
in 9 days, 23 hours, 25 minutes—
call it 10 days for the sake of
working out the fact that he earn-

The tricycle was an ordinary
stock model, 2 ft. 6 ins. high, the
only alteration being the fitting
of a special saddle and a longer
saddle pin. One of the conditions
was that while he was riding his
feet should never touch the
ground.
