Rev. D. M. Stearns.
Copyright, 1907, by American Pmi Association.
The entrance to the In ml of promise,
with all ita suggestive nud practical
lessons for us, is fully told in chapters'
11 to v, Inclusive. The section ussigued
as oar lesson Is a little portion of the
story, with special reference to the
place of the ark of the covenant in
connection with the crossing of the
Jordan, and verses 23, 24, of chapter lv
tell us that the dryiug up of both the
Red sea and the Jordan was In order
that all the people of the ourtli might
know the baud of the Lord that it Is
mighty and that Israel might fear the
Lord their Cod forever.
In Isa. Uiii. 11-14, we rend that IU
divided the waters for Israel to make
His name glorious In the eyes of all
people, that knowing Him they might
trust Iliin. However lie may show
His power and might there are but
few who put their trust In Iliin, and
yet He is never discouraged. The peo
ple of Jericho hud heard of the great
ness of the wonder working Cod of
Israel, and yet they all perished in un
belief except Kahub and her household
U, 911; vi, 21), she having turned from
her sinful ways to put her trust In tho
5od of Israel (Heb. xl, 31). It is most
Instructive to note that the word trans
lated "Hue" In chapter II, 21, is the very
word which is translated "expectation"
In I's. Ixii, 5. When our expectations
are scarlet (founded upon the blood),
they are indeed well founded. All else
Is sinking sniul.
The expression "early in the morn
ing" (iii, 1; vi. 12; vii. UJ; viil, 10) re
minds us of the many morning stories
In the Hlble. iuil notably of the saying
concerning Israel in Ts. xlvi, r, margin,
"God shall help her when the morning
appenreth." That they passed over
after luteins three days by Jordan
(111, 1. 2i cannot but cause us to think
of the power of Ills resurrection. His
deatli mid resurrection, and ours with
Him. being so clearly set forth by the
heap of twelve stones left In the bed
of the river and the oilier twelve car
ried from there and set up at llilgal
(lv, 8-10). The crossing of Jordan can
not typify literal death any more than
Canaan can typify heaven, for in
heaven there are no Jerii'lios to be
.taken nor enemies to be subdued, but
Canaan typifies the rest into which we
,entcr here v. lieu once the great truth
grasps r.s that as believers in Christ
Jesus that is. those, who have truly re
ceived 1 1 1 tn (John I, 12) we are looked
upon as cnv ilied with Christ and risen
with Him ((ial. ii, 20; Horn, vi, 4, 11;
Col. iii, 1-3; Heb. iv, S-lli.
The words "Ye have not passed this
way heretofore" (iii, 4) are most ap
propriate as we cuter upon any now
experience. In fact every morning, for
Is not every day a new experience to
each of us? And wo need each day to
be taught the way wherein we may
walk and the thing that we may do
(Jer. xlil, 3; x, 23). They were to
watch the ark of the covenant of the
Lord their God (verse 3), 'nd our only
safety is in seeing no ore but "Jesus
only" and ruuniug with patieuce look
ing unto Jesus (Mark, lx, 8; Heb. xll,
1, 2.1, who when He putteth forth His
Bheep goeth before. The heart of this
chapter is the ark, which is mentioned
In it ten times nud is the most won
drous type of Christ in all the taber
nacle, pointing Him out as the (iod
man, our righteousness, the end of the
law for righteousness, who alone re
veals Cod nnd by whom alone we hare
access to God. If God Is to do won
ders in us nnd through ns, we must be
Wholly separated unto Him (verse 5;
II Cor. vl, U-1S; vii, 1; Kx. xix. f, 6;
xxxiii, Kii, and for such willing ones
He is over looking (II Chron. xvl, U).
It Is not seen In tho lives of many that
there is a living God. a living l-'ather,
come to live in us and work In us and
through ns (verse 10; John vi, 07; I
Thess. i, 0, 10), but this Is what should
be seen and what we are redeemed
for. He Is the great wonder worklug
God, and where He finds a yielded
spirit soul and body, there He will be
glorified (Goai. xii, 1, 2). The God of
Elijah and Daniel was seen through
them to be tho living God, and He was
glorified In theni. So should it be with
us.
At the command of Joshua the priests
took up the ark of the covenant of the
Lord of all tho earth and went for
ward till their feet stood In the waters
ef the river; then the wonder happened,
and the waters were piled up In a
heap on the right hand, while the rest
flowed away to the Dead sea, leaving
the lied of the river dry, and the priests
bearing the ark stood firm on dry
ground In the midst of Jordan till all
Israel bad passed over, and all was
finished that the Lord had said. Not
until the feet of the priests who bore
the ark stood again on dry land did
the river resume its course (Iv, 10, 11.
17, 18). If we would but lay to heart
all that Is written concerning our
Great High Trlest and the value of
His finished work, our Uvea would be
eure to manifest the wonders of His
grace to others, and they would want
to know Him too. If we had Paul's
ambition that Christ should be magni
fied in our bodies whether by life or
death (Phil. 1, 20) we would be able to
say as he did, "They glorified God In
me" (Gal. 1, 24). The secret of all
Joshua's greatness was the presence of
Ood with him as Ht bad bees with
Moses (vets 7).
OKLAHOMO ELECTION.
The Result Is of Importance to The
Democrats of Tbe Country.
The result of the Oklahoma elec
tion, and the glorious Democratic
victory is of immence importance to
the Democracy of the United States
Iudeed it may change the rtsnlt of
the next national election. No
wonder the Republican politicians
are urging President Roosevelt to
refuse to issue his proclamation ad
mitting the State on the technical
ground that the Constitution as
adopted does not provide a Republi
can form of government. But ma
chine politicians are se.fish and
often shortsighted, and if the Presi
dent should refuse to allow Okla
homa to be admitted he would raise
an issue that would overshadow per
haps all other issues, namely, the
right of the people to govern them
selves without interference from the
federal government, or the partisan
schemingof interested politicians.
lo oppose the admittance of Okla
homa, because the Democrats have
carried the election, would be viewed
as a partisan effort, and enough vot
eis in the close and doubtful States
would show their displeasure to
overwhelm the party that attempt
it. I he question of Executive lu
teifcrence iu home affairs has also
been injected into the campaign iu
Cleveland bv the letter of President
Hoosevdt to Mr. Burton advising
him to run against Tom Johnson
lor mavor of that city on partisan
rounds, but the Republicans ap
pear to he already sick of that isiue,
und the 3 cent fate ou street rai -roads
will predominate. President
Koo.-evelt after over three months
vacation is again her, but will leave
tomorrow on his speech making
tour, and a trip down the Mississip
pi River. This is to be followed by
bear hunt of 17 days in the
swamps of Mississippi, which tea
sale and saue man would be more
feared at this time of the year than
all other dangers for thecane bieak
eis are free breeders of fever and
ague from which, let us hope, the
proverbial luck of the President will
allow him to escape.

THE ROCK HILL BUGGY CO.,
Rock Hill, S.C.
Dear Sir:
Answering yours of the 18th, we will say that the
three buggies came in O. K., and opened up in good
shape. We must acknowledge that we were some
what prejudiced against the "Rock Hill" buggy, but
since we bought these sample buggies and compared
them with other sample buggies we have decided that
the "Rock Hill" is the best we have seen for the price,
and we expect to advertise them in our county paper
and push the sale of them in this community.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) Fort Lawn Live Stock & Mer. Co.
"Prejudice is a thief and will rob you of many good
things." If you have a preconceived idea in your head
that "Rock Hill" buggies cannot be as good as or better
than some other make, you are the loser. All we ask of
you is to just give us a trial we will do the rest.
