II, Caleb is able to tape, possession of
his inheritance (vs. 10-12). 10, Kept me
alive -Caleb had not only been brought
through the perils of the wilderness, but
he had been preserved from death in this
war of conquest, Length of years only
caused him to more deeply desire to be
perfectly obedient 11. Yet I am as
strong -Though eighty-five years . old,
he felt: as able to enter his possessions
that Gott -gave him n0 when the promise
was filt,mnde. God would not appoint
him tot}''place and prolong his days and
then change because of his age. "All
our tinice are in lits hands, all events
at lois 'command," What though the
' 'ons of o)d Anak were tall, and giants
strength! What though Hebron lay
in a mountainous region, he would go
gladly and confidently.

it was already his, by promise, he would
respect the position and authority of
Joshua, and have it granted him law-
fully," The Anakims-The giants, If

it was tite most' difficult to overcome,
and he was old, yet he tuns strong in
faith as well as strong physically. The
only equipment he needed was God's con-
tinued presence, which he believed would
insure victory over giants and walled
cities. His faith for the overthrow of
those enemies had only waxed stronger
since his first discovery of them, forty-
five years before. His truthfulness, piety
and faithfulness in former years had
grown, so that his relish was keen for
the battle."

PRACTICAL APPLICATION.
Those who dwell in Canaan have "tn•
otter spirit" from those who live in the
wilderness (Num. 14:24).
A spirit of submission. "They di-
'ided the land" (v. 5). The people left
M, (''luliee of their possession to Cod,
willing to take whatever lie assigned
them. Lot close ifs own niteritance,
tel suffered for it (Gen. 13:11). "God
nows the character of our inheritance,
we only its superficial aspects, He
knowknowe future events, nts, we 01113' present
pluton 1c s, He 1 nows our true needs,
we our foolish desires. HO 1:1(01(0 oto'
11,1 Bunn, we em• Selfish aims." A
wonuu, Asked concerning a certain thing
:iti), "1 nun pleased frith 1.1)1711 God
likes(,':' "Yes, but if God should refer
t to you That would you choose?"
"'Truly, if God were to refer it to me 1
i, mild refer it to him again."
11. A Spirit of praise. "'Phe children of
Judah rime" (v. li). Judah mOanS
"p1;(180" Grant says, "The spirit of
praise tmist have precedence of all else
in the land of the inheritance of the peo-
ple of God, and will put us in possession,
most of ell' of our inheritance there,"
A. J. Gordon ,met an old man one day
go!eg to the place of prayer. "Aged
friend," he said, "why should an old
min be so merry and cheerful?" "All
are not," said he. "Well, then, why
should you be merry?' "Because I be-
long to the Lord," "Are none others
happy at your time, of life?" "No, not`
one, my friendly, queeti00e-," said he;
and bis form'strnightened into the stat-
nro of his younger days, and something
of inspiration glowed upon his counto-
hance "Listen, please, to the truth
Prem one who knows; then wing it round
I (1( world, and no men of three -score
and ten shall be found to gainsay it -
the devil has no happy old mein,"
`III A whole hearted spirit, That
Cale° "wholly followed the Lord" is
thrice recorded (vs. 8, 11, 14). "In obedi-
ence to God's will, follow him universal-
ly without dividing; uprightly without
dlssan1)lfng; cheerfully ,without dispute
ing, and constantly Without declining;
this is following the Lord fully" Two
:geetlli nen were walkingtogether one
dark night, One said to the other, who
Lined the way, "I shall follow you 00 40
to be right" Ile 00011 fell Otto a ditch
and reproached his friend that he had
fallen. "You did not follow me exactly,
fo„ I kept free;' was the answer. 'Then
tin i nisi realized that it was a side step
that had caused his fall.
IV. A spirit of cheerfulness.
"Four-
score and five years old" was this Caleb,
and yet "strong" (vs. 10, 11). "1 awn on
the bright side of seventy," said a dear
limn of God; "the bright sale, because
nearer to everlasting glory." "\ly work
is dale," said the Countess of Hunting-
ton, at eighty-four, "I base nothing to
do but to go to my Father" It was re-
marked to one, "1 fear you me near
the other world" "Fear it, sir?" was the
quick reply, "I know L an; but blessed
be God, I do not fear it, 1 hope it." In
sad contrast to these was the remark
of -a man of the world, when one ob-
served to 1110) that his hair was sprinkled
with gray, "I wish you would not make
that remark, he said, "it ,puts me in
mind of growing old; a subject of which
I cannot ,hear to think. I would rather
be the Most m'iserable pack 'horse in this
world than be an angel in heaven.
V. A spirit of vigor, "As my strength
was then, even ao is my strength now"
(v. 11). It is said of the great man
Moses that when lie was an hundred and
twent7,,,'3his::eye was not dine, nor his
natutali force abated" (Deet, 34. 7). The
aged Elijah, after three years and a
half of famine, when he probably was
not well fed,', could outrun the .horses of
Ahab's chariot (1. Kings 18. 40). God's
promisee for physical strength ate ns
sure of fulfilment as any others if we
trust Hint„ John Wesley, who lived in
the land of promise, preached on an aver-
age fifteen sermons a week. Yet at the
age of seventy-three, he writes, "I ton
far abler to preach than when throe and
twenty." Dr. Stevens says tint at that
age his brow was smooth, his complexion
ruddy, and his voice Strong and clear,
so that an audience of thirty thousand
could hear hon without difficulty. This
vigor he himself ascribes, by the blessing
of God, to continual travel, early 110hng,'
good sleep and all even temple. Me
says, "I feed and grieve, but by the grace
of God I fret at nothing."
VI. A spirit of heroism. "Thou heard-
est....hoty the Anakims were there, and
that the cities were great and fenced"
(v. 12) Caleb did not ask for a com-
fortable valley, but for fortified, lofty
mountains. Caleb's inheritance at Heb-
ron (v. 14) represents the highest $leas-
ing and the hardest choice. Best things
east. 1110 devil will not contest ordinary,
level Christian living, but reaching up
after the mountain experience, we find
principalities, powers, rulers of darkness
and wicked spirits all combined, to'dis-
pute our advance (Epi, 6. 12). A godly
man tempted almost beyond endurance,
read this sentence in an old book, 'The
hest evidence that you are in God's will
is the devil's growl," IIe thanked the
Lard for the devil'; growl and went on
through sacrifice, self-denial and suffer-
ing to take possession of his Hebron.
It was this man who wrote;
"God has his best things for the few
That dare to stand the test;
God has his second choice for those
Who will not have his best."

N. 11. Alatthews' flat, 1,305 North Mi-

the realization, if he didn't already know
it, that "advertising pays."
After a strenuous day's work reeciv.

In modest sort of way Mr. Matthews
said he, objected Seriously to tite amount
of notoriety that has followed the am
pearace of hie "Wife Wanted" sign in
the window of his flat, but acknowledged
that on account of it he has a "much
larger variety to choose front" He said
he couldn't estimate the exact number
of women who culled,

Air. Matthews was absent from hone
lmail late. In the meautim0 Air, Mat-
thews' oldest daughter, Mabel, who is a
school teacher, was in charge of the fou'
small children.
"1 nue greatly, shocked to learn the
ainoult of notoriety papa stirred up by
putting that sign in the window," she
said. I don't care to say a thing about
it. These 1(011011 have been calling all

10011101, but nete'titeleee, I don't, approve
of the method papa took."
Mabel said she would remain et 110111e

cipating in a referendum vote or six
proposed amendments to .the constitu-
tion of the organization, an5d the results

carried, they rill become operative on

The old age pension proposition pro-
vides that indigent members, who have
retched the age of 00 years and have
been in good standing for at least
tn'01113' years, shall receive a pension of
44 per week. It is objected that this
proposition makes it necessary, for the
beneficiary' to be practically a pauper
before being eligible to avail hnns-elf of
the pension, while *thrifty members
would be ineligible, although they had
been assessed steadily, to maintain the
pension food. Those favoring the pro-
position insist that it is in line with ad-
vanced endeavor to promote the welfare
of the workingmen and that in its out -
workings it will prove to be equitable.
