. to Mose e of a 'bush burned with fire,.
_ and .... not Cr Mumed" (v. 2), was both
a type and a pledge of the eonanuniem
. tem of God's holiness to us through the
Crucified One. From the lips of Moses,
the people of Israel, and from the pen
it Moses, the Church of God received, the massage: 'Ye shall be holy; for I
am holy" (Ler. 11, 41; 1 Pet. 1; 16).
, 3. Heedfulness. "God called unto him
' . emil he said, Here am I" (v. 4.) When
. God calls we should 'listen. When he
:mum:nide we must obey. Whether the
, col be to sweep a room or visit the
elek, to SOW tile field or reap the her-
) est, to work in the shop CA write hi

cheerfully obeyed, .
, I. Cod chooses his workers. "Come
Low, therefore, and 1 will send thee unto
Pharaoh" Iv. 10.) Jesus mli
ild, "Ye ma
not ceosen me, but I have chosen you
and ordained you, that ye should go an4
bring forth fruit" (Joint 15; 16.) As
surely as God oboes Moses to be Israel's
leader, and Aaron to be Tare:ars priest,
and Miriam to be Isroals singer, and
the twelve to be his apostles, so surely
does he now choose those to be workers
together with God. the Father, as am-
bassadors (2 Cor. 5; 19, 20); worker:
together with God the Son, as eufferers
(Rene 8;, 17) ;warners together with
God the Holy Spirit, as witnesses (Acts
1: 8. merge
HI. God cares for The workers.. "I
have surely seen the affliction of My
people .... in Egypt ....And ..I have
also seen the oppression" (vs. 7,9). Es
there a tender suggestion of rebuke mu
the sentence? Had Moses, I wonder, in
forty years of quiet in the desert, some-
times thought God bad not seen and. did
not care? A blind boy stood on the cor-
ner of a city street. "Shall I help you
across, my little friend?" a gentleman
asked. "Oh, no. thank you; I am wait-
ing for my father ." "Can you trust
your father?" "Oh, yes; when he has
my hand. I feel perfectly safe," "Why do
you• feel safe?" "Oh, became my father
knows the way. He can see, but I am
blind."
IV. God chooses the work. "I am come
down... to bring them up" (v. 8). "I
will send thee. ,..that thou mayest bring
forth "the children of Israel" (v. 10.) We
need to be careful lest in our natural en-
thusiasm we assume the leadership of
Christian work. Made work is like this
first attempt of Moses, premature, call-
ed out by human sympathy, (Exod. 2.
11), wrought in the fear of man, and
in the pride of human strength (2. 12),
and ends in discouragement and failure
(Exod. 2. 13-15). While work done with
him, at his direction, in the light of his
smile, constrained by His love (2. Oar.
5. 14), makes the heaviest burden light,
the hardest task easy Matt. 11. 28,
20).
V. God wants willing workers. "Who
am I. that I should go?" (v. 11). God
is pleased when like Abraham we res-
pond, "Behold, here am I" (Gem 22. 1);
when like Isaiah we say, "Here am I;
mid me" (Tea 6. 8); when like Paul
we cry, "Lord, what wilt thou have me
to do?" (Aets 0. 6). We are not equal
to any task, nor worthy of any work;
but it is not it question of our witness.
or our ability, but of God's pleasure and
His power.
VT. God gives Himself to His workers.
"Certainly I will be with thee" (v. 12).
With thee to subdue the proud heart of
Pharaoh; to rouse the poor, afflicted
slave children of Israel; to endue thee
with power and bear - all . thy burdens.
God never says, "Go ye" to any child.
but He also says, "Lo, I am with you"
(Matt. 26. 20).

railways, were 104 car loads, compose<
of 1,716 cattle, 1,904 hogs, 124 sheep an
lambs, with 189 calves.
The quality of fat cattle was not a

past.
Trade was fair with prices for but
chars' about steady, but exporters, of
which there were a few loads reported
