THE W ATKINS-LEONARD HARDWARE CO., RAMSEUR - - - N. C. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson III. Fourth Quarter, For Oct. 20, 1907. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of Lecson, Josh, vi, 8-20 Mem ory Verse, 20 Golden Text, Heo. xi, 0 Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. ICopvriiilit, iuot, i, Arr. rirtn I'n Ao.u'cin.l Israel is now in llit land, they have crossed the. Jordaa. and e.e.'.v t-tcp of the way. is iiinsi i.isiiMciivi' i tuc be liever who really wants tn "pu-sess Jj iu posse iuus." Tin- story is a true s;ate meut of facts coijiernhi;; en- U e-enl. but ull writtc.i fur our pndit (lli)iu. xv, 4; I Cor. x. lli. Chapter v is t!ie story of (iiljjal, th circumcision, tho first Passover in the laud, the first corn of the laud and the reusing of the man na a u J the Captain to whom Joshua meekly nud cheerfully tuliijiittcd. ull remimliiij; us that, being dead and risen with Christ, there must be death to the flesh, constant renunciation of self, trust in the blood alone, eating the 1a rub and whole hearted surrender and obedience to our Captalu, with our shoes off that Is. bearing in mind al ways that the whole affair Is Ills, not ours, and we must never do a thing or take a step without His counsel. Moses at the bush about to lead Is rael out and Joshua at Jericho about to lead Israel to victory In the land are the only two to whom the com mand was given, "I-oofe thy shoe from off thy foot" (Ex. iil. 5; Josh, v, 13). It be comes us who dwell with the King for Els work to live with unshod feet and ever let our hearts say, "What saith my Lord to His servant?" "Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" (Acts lx, 6.) However foolish In our eyes or In the eyes of others the commands of the Lord may seem. It Is ours to obey; It Is His to work. To ask men to step into the waters of Jordan, overflowing its banks, and expect the river to stop flowing and pile Its water up in a heap was the height of mad presumption in the eyes of worldly wise men, but God commanded, men obeyed, and God wrought for His name's sake. Bo, now, to tell men to march round the walls of a great city, the armed men going first, then sever, of the priests with trumpets of rams' horns, then others bearing on their shoulders a mysterious something covered with a cloth wholly of blue (Num. Iv, n. Gi. then the rest of the host following, not a word uttered, nut a Found heard but the blasts from the rams' borns, what could seem more foolish? When the people of Jericho, who doubtless crowd ed the walls to see what was going on, saw this strange procession with no battering rams or heavy weapons of war they probably felt qui'e safe and OS the days passed returned to their occupations with many n sneer at these foolish people. Ferliaps there was a littie stir in the city when on the sev enth day some unwearied watchers spread the report that the procession was starting on a second round, nnd a third, and a fourth, and a fifth, nnd a sixth, but nothing came of It, and It may le that the Interest waned again. But hark! It Is the seventh round on the seventh day. nnd the si lence Is broken; the rams' horns give a louder, longer blast, nnd the great host shouts with a great shout, and the walls of the city fall down flat 1 (verses .", 2(1), and soon there are none living of all the people In the city except those who were in the house with Huhab, under the protection of the . scarlet line (verses 21-25). It did seem n very foolish proceeding, but It wrs ! God's way. The Lord commanded; Joshua and the people oleyed, and the Lord wrought for Ills name's sake. : When, at a later period in their hls : tory. Gideon's 32,000 were sifted down j to 300 who went forth with torches ; concealed In earthen vessels and with i trumpets also that again seemed ridic I ulous, but It was the Lord's way that ! no flesh might glory In Ills presence, I and He wrought a great victory. I)a i vld, without armor or arms except a j sling nnd stone, going forth to meet i Goliath must have seemed very pre sumptuous In the eyes of Israel as well as ridiculous !n the eyes of Goliath and his followers, but the Lord wrought a great victory. Oh, that we might learn to lean upon the Lord alone, to see no one but Jesus only, to cease from mnn and man's wisdom and let God be glorified in us! God's way Is so foreign to man's way, though as much higher as heaven is above the earth, that few seem able or willing to learn His way. Doubtless all or very many have beard of that unfortunate number thir teen, but consider this lesson and note that the thirteenth round brought down the walls of Jericho, and let the number so despised become one of great encouragement. In the ark of the covenant carried upon the shoul ders of the priests see the symbol of the presence of the Lord, who Is still Baying to nil who go forth In Ills name,- '-Lo, I am with you all the days" (Matt, xxviii. 20, margin), in the rams' horn trumpets let anointed eyes t-ee the sin offering nnd nnolnted ears hear the words. "They overcame by the Hood of the Lamb nnd by the word of their testimony" ikov. xil, 11). See the ark mentioned ten times in this chapter and let the Lord alone be exalted. A lesson u prayer Is sug gested for today Instead of the regular lesson, but If prayer means waiting upon nivi expecting from God (Fs. lxit, Tn we have the very essence of prayer In this lesson. Then see In II Chron. xxx ii, 20. 2'.. how the prayers of Isaiah nud Hezeklnh saved .Jerusalem . and caused the overthrow of a mighty uruiy. CELEBRATION YEAR HENCE.
