I 1 it v THE SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson IX. Third Quarter, For Sept. 1, 1907. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Num. xiii, 17-20, 23-3J Memory Verses, 30, 31 Golden Text, Num. xiv, 9 Commentary Pre pared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Copyright, '.907, by Amrriian Press Association. Inasmuch as all that happened to Israel was an example for us to profit or take warning by and Is written for our admonition (I Cor. x. 11), it must be a grief to our teacher, the Holy Spirit, to pass by anything that He has written for us. Murmuring and complaining was such a characteristic of Israel that if we laid to heart the way they thus grieved the Lord we would prayerfully 8eek to avoid either (xl, 1). ' It is not easy to be in good health In a bnd at mosphere, and we see even Moses af fected by Israel's unbelief and ques tioning the possibility of giving such a congregation flesh to eat (xl, '.13). Circumstances often become too heavy for us, and we are compelled to say, "I am not able' (xi. 14). but there is never anything too hard fur Him, and lie always has a way out for His own (Jer. xxxii, 17; I Cor. x. 1:5). Joshua's jealousy for tho honor of Moses (xi. 'J. 'J'.tt is somewhat like that of the disciples who forbade a man to do miracles, because, as they said, "Ho followed! not us" (Luke 1 l!. Ml. Chapter xii tells of the Jealousy and envy of Miriam and Aaron, Moses" own and only sister and brother, and of Miriam's leprosy and healing. The Lord's revelation of Himself on behalf of His servant Moses makes us think of Isa. xli, 12. II!: liv, 17, whore there is strong consolation for till who are spoken against. See also Malt, v, 10, 12. In the lesson of today concerning the sending forth of the spies and their report anil the lvstills it seems strange that Moses should send men to see whether the land was u'ooil or bad and whether ihi' people were strong or weak, few it many i versus 17--"i. when Cod had said that He would drive out their enemies and bring them unto a land flowing with mill: and honey (Hx. xxxiii. 1-,'ii. The word of (he Lord Fbould have been stiflii ient for faith to rest upon and go forward, but where was their faith, and where is ours when there is neither sight nor feeling nor anything but just the word of the Lord with everything seemingly against it. Consider our Lord's word to the ruler whose little girl bad just died and nlso to Martha and Mary when Lazarus was dead and burled, "Be not afraid, only lielievo." "Said I not unto thee that if thou wouldst be lieve thou shouldst see" (Murk v, 2(1; John xl. 40), and see how faith must rest upon the simple word of find in spite of all circumstances. Chapter xlil, 1, 2. with xxxii. 8. looks at first sight as If tlio sending of the spies was of the Lord and Moses, but the key to tho sit nation Is in Dent. I, 22,"vhere we hear Moses saying, "Ye came near unto me, every one of you. and said. Wo will send men before us. and they shall search us out the land and bring i:a word again by what way we must go up." It Is therefore dear that the thought of spies came from the unbelieving people, Moses indorsed it, and the Lord sanctioned II in the same way that Ho gave to lialaani permission to go because be insisted upon going nml granted a king to Is rael because they would have one. He often permits Ills headstrong, unbe lieving people to have their own way, when (hoy Insist upon It. that they may learn by bi;ter experience how much better II W way would have been.

The decision of the Lord was that the nation should wander in the wil derness forty years, a year for each tfny that they bad spent searching out the land, till all that generation bad fallen in the wilderness, and that of the 00.1,r..".() men of Israel (i, 4tl. 47) out side the tribe of Levi none but Caleb and Joshua should ever enter the promised land (xiv. 20-38). The good land was only eleven days' journey from noreb. so for forty years from Jhe time they left Egypt they were always within eleven or twelve days' Journey of rest and peace and never entered It.

When the Alarm Is Sounded Every Member of the Crew Has His Station and Carries Out the Particular Duty Intrusted to Him. Of all disasters that cuu befall a Ship none is more dreaded by the mariner than a lire at sea. Indeed, the annals of Lloyd's record few greater ocean tragedies and, be it said, no more conspicuous Instances of gal lantry und heroic effort than those con nected with ships afire. No wouder, then, lu view of the dreadful possibilities of an outbreak of fire ou board, thut a thorough knowl edge of the proper steps to be taken In extinguishing the flames at the out: set or at least holding them lu check la expected of every officer from the captain downward. Most vessels are nowadays fitted with hydrants, several on each deck, and in the case of large liners hose is kept in bandy places, ready to be attached to the hydrants at a mo ment's notice. Moreover, every large passenger boat carries a uuuiber of portable exi inguishers which can be strapped on a man's back. The spray from Ihese is, of course, thin, but very effective in subduing small outbreaks where the fire lias not secured too firm a hold. l'ire drill forms a weekly feature in the routine on every ocean liner. Kv ery member of the crew literally, from captain lo cabin boy. has his 'Tire staiion" allotted to him. at which, when the signal is given, be takes his position and curries out the particular duly intrusted to him. When an actual outbreak occurs the f.re ali.ini is if po.-sil.le avoided, so as to prevent panic among the passengers. Word is passed iUietly around, the pas-seug.-r.i being kept In ignorance as long as possible. In fact, more than one l',-e at sea h.'.s bce'i :;::ig,,:ished withoi.l any si:---.. ::a on tli.; part of liie p:i:.so;ig.... tli.il () oiiiltiv:::; was other than an aginary one ciigineer e.l I V ll.e nir.c.'i- b.g'.w lb- passenger a chance of iug wii.;l ni;;! 1 be !o:k hi the eveni of the n al t lii.ig oei '.;nin.

If a fire brcaVs out In the hold and ftssiMK siieij dimensions that steam injection is powerless to check II, the vessel is, when possible, got into shal low water and. if necessary, beached. In any run- (he sea cocks of the par ticular boh: are opened and the bold allowed to fill with water. This can usually be done with very little fear of the es:el foundering, as modern built ships are divided Into many u:u p.ir!mo:;!s -etiura;ed by strong water tight bulkheads of steel or iron. Such Is the buoyancy of n vessel so con structed that instances have been known of a craft remaining afloat with only one or two of these compartments dry. If tho burning hold Is a very large one and by flood!;. g it with water there Is danger of the vessel founder ing, the cargo in another hold Is thrown overboard or "jettisoned." as ' It is called at sea. to counteract the weight of water admitted into the first hold. As a last resou:-e. the vessel. If In dock or shallow water, is scut tled by opening the seacocks. This has been done more than once in Tilbury docks. We seldom hear nowadays of fire breaking out in the passengers' quar ters on large liners. The Introduction of eleetrl Fghting on board ship has no doubt conduced greatly to this im proved state of matters. When a fire does break o:it in the cabin, it is tisu- ! ally soon delected, for a constant watch Is kept by the oilfcers and nlglit stewards, who make periodical tours of Inspection during the nocturnal hours. rearson's Weekly. arm and ijarden BOARD DRAINS.
