SIX-INCH SERMON

A NATION IK THE MAKING
Lima for Jin. It Exodus 1iM4i
2:23-25; 3il-ll
In this first quarter we have
studies in the history of Israel, from
the days of Egyptian oppression to
the crowning of SauL
Today we review the cOndi tioruaof
the Israelites under oppression. A
new king over Egypt had no kindly
sentiments toward the people of Jo
seph. He said they were a menace
to the country. With the evident de
sign of exterminating the Israelites,
i.e began an eppre. sion ci uiem
ever afterward remembered by them
as a period of bitterness unrelieved
even by hopes of anything better.
The terrible Pharaoh died but the
oppression went on unabated Yet
God still lived and his eyes were
on his distressed people, and he re
membered the covenant he had
made with their fathers.
Meanwhile the dreams of Moses
seemed to be fading as he, a fugi
tive, led his father-in-law's sheep to
the back side of the wilderness. How
unlikely a place to begin a great ex
periment! Yet God was there. And
he caught the attention of Moses
from the burning bush and opened
his ears to great things.
Back in Egypt the Israelites, still
groaning under their hard tasks,
knew nothing of the happenings in
the wilderness. But they were des
tined to hear and follow Moses in
due time. For out of the burning
bush Moses received his commis
sion to lead his people from bond
age. Heed the voice of God in your
hearts.
The first issue of U. S. stamps was
