Upon the receipt of the news of the marvelous deliverance of the Israel ites from the jSgyptlans, Jethro went out to meet Moses. 2. The object (vv. 2-4). It was to bring to .Moses his wife and children. When God called him to Keypt to deliver Ills people Moses did nol deem it wise to take his wife and children, therefore left wu^u wrfti his father-in-law, 3. The pla.ee (vv.

Moses not only honored him as hfs fa ther- in-law, but as a priest of Mid Ian. Jethro, though outside of the cov enant people. evidently retained proofs of the true Gou as Melchisedec be fore him did. 2. Moses rehearsed to him the won dprs which God had wrought through liira (v. 8). It Is through the testimony of those who have experienced the wonders of God's grace that men come to ko?w the true God. 3.

(3) He confessed the supremacy of [ the Lord (v. 11). He said. "Now I know th-it the Lord is greater than at! gods." (4) He offered sacrifices to God (v. 12). UV urt- uukiiU- to determine the degree of intelligence of this worship, but he evidently out of a sincere heart made this offering. III. The Occasion (vv. 13-18). 1. After Jethro came to Moses he observed how completely Moses' time was taken In judging Israel. When he saw the greatness of the task, he in quired as to why he was doing the I work all alone. Moses explained to hitc that his task was not merely a matter of judging, hut of teaching the statutes and laws of Ood to the peo ple. Jethro recognized Moses' motive, but insisted that his method was not s good one, as it would result iu wast ing his strength. 2. Jethro's plan (vv. 19-23). (1) Moses was to be unto the peo ple Godward ? to bring their causes unto God and teach them the ordi nances. and laws, to show them the ; way wherein they must walk and the work they must do (vv. 19, 20). (2) Suitable men should be pro vided as rulers over thousands, hun dreds, fifties and tt-ns (v. 21). All great matters should be disposed of by Moses, and all subsidiary matters should be adjusted by these judges. (3) Qualifications of these subordi nate judges (v. 26).' (a) They were to be "able men," . -that is, men of strength. They must be men of such intellectual power as to enable them to understand the prob lems presented, and of such will power as to execute the judgments rendered. (b) "Such as tear God." This Is the basis of true strength. (c) "Men of truth." This means men who are able to discern truth, men who love truth, men who tell the truth. (d) "Hating covetousness." These raen must be haters of unjust gain. The man who is to be a' ruler of the people most be free from the suspicion of following his profession because of personal gain. IV. Moses Accedes to Jethro's Counsel (vv. 24-27)., ' This common-sense advice made a response in Moses' heart. He recog nized that God was speaking through ! Jethro. According to Deut. 1 :9-18 the people selected the judges and Moses appointed them. When this work had been done according to Jethro's ad vice, he took his departure, going into | his own land. Lesson From the Son of God The highest service may be pre pared for and done In the hum blest surroundings. In silence, in waiting, obscure, unnoticed. In years of uneventful, unrecorded duties/ the Son of God grew and waxed strong. Cure for Indolence The only cure for indolence la work: the only cure for selfishness Is sacrifice; the only cure for unbelief is to shake off the ague of doubt by doing Christ's bidding. PRESBYTERIANS PLAY TIE GAME WITH METHODISTS ' Thursday afternoon the Metho dists and Presbyterians played an other tie game. The Methodists tied the score in the fourth inning jj-<5 and remained tied until the eighth when each side made another run, which again left the score tied 7-7. By this time darkness came on and the game was called. There were quite a few errors made on each side but part of them were justifiable as the diamond was in bad shape owing to the recent rains. The game on the whole was well played and very interesting, crammed full of action from start to finish ? fans accorded the game as eight innings of real action. Harry Clayton, who was the real star Thursday afternoon, played real baseball. He went after everything in the field, and got it. He figured in two double plays that were goo.: to look upon, and also performed well at bat. Clayton, along with Paxton, Bryson and Waters are the coming real stars of Brevard. The., are quite young and have a pvom ing future before them in baseball. Manager "Red' 'Misenheimer for th" Presbyterians also played a good game and performed well at bat Some of the fans and players look upon "Red" and his teammates as being lucky. Maybe the Presbyter ians have had a few breaks to go their way. but Misenheimer uses his head and studies his plays. So does his teammates. They seldom "blow up." Head work in baseball is one of the finer points of the game. The games from now on will be close and hard fought, as each team is anxious to win the pennant. Neither team can afford to lose many games and stay in the p< .inaiu race. Each player on the thre teams is exerting himself to play the very best ball possible, and eat. - - ' White, c 5 1 U Miller, 2b . ,, 4 (' " Patton, lb 4 Macfie' U 2 J 0 0 Paxton, cf ??? ? 5 r: p .

A novel publicity campaign was launched last Week by the Brevard Chamber of Commerce in connection with the popular excursions oper ated by the Southern Railway or iginating in the Middle States 'and in the Washington, D. C., Richmond and Norfolk territory on the 7th, and points on the Memphis division New Orleans, Birmingham and all intermediate stations on the 19th. These excursions from point of origin ? are made to several places in Western North Carolina and the tickets are good for return within fifteen days from date of sale. The publicity campaign consists of special newspaper advertising con currently with the Southern's an nouncement in the important towns in the territories through which the excursions operate. To supplement this publicity a Brevard folder was mailed to every station agent on i the divisions touched by the popular excursion, the object being to have information concerning Brevard in the hands of the station agent at the time inquiries were being made in connection with the excursion to Western North Carolina. Division Passenger Agent, J. H. Wood of Asheville, co-operated with the Brevard Chamber of Commerce in this publicity campaign a.id fur nished Secretary Alexander with -the names of the publications used by the Southern in its publicity for the summer excursions and the dates on which the advertisements ;.re to ap pear. Local Agent S. C. Yates is also assisting the Chamber of Com merce in checking up any apprecia ble increase in traffic which might be due to the special advertising. The co-operation of the hotels anu boarding houses will be appreciated in this respect. An effort is being made to ascertain whether sufficient increase in visitors from the terri tory in which the excursion operated resulted from the special advertising to warrant other similar campaigns on larger scale. for Economical Transportation New Low Prices 1-TonTruck/fQ S reduced to %TonTrucli^ Jg reduced to J / J (Chassis only ) fob- Jlint, Michigan Chevrolet trucks have won worldwide accept' ance on the basis of low first cost, low operating cost and slow depreciation.
