The Leader's Talk
There are many lessons from
the life of Joshua from which
we may learn great things.
First, his bravery and courage
in beiftg willing to trust in God
when he returned from spying
out the land of Canaan, and his
courage, bravery and reliance
upon God as a leader of Israel.
After the Israelites had been
successful in many ways Josh
ua urged them on to still great-,
er efforts. saying, “There re
maineth yet very much land to
be possessed.” He was not will
ing to stop until he had done all
he could do for God.
Then when the people seemed
to become careless and indiffer
ent about God, Joshua took a
firm stand, saying, “But as for
me and my house, we will serve
the Lord.”
Abraham
This wonderful man was
called a friend of God and
“Father of the Faithful.” God
and angels talked with Abra
ham* In thinking of the' secret
of Abraham’s greatness our
minds go out in thoughts of his
obedience and faith. We think
of Abraham moving about from
place to place at the command
of God. He did not stop to ques
tion God; he just simply obeyed.
Then we have that marvellous
scene where Abraham was
about to offer up his only son
Isaac as a burnt sacrifice when
God sent an angel to stop him.
What a test and what faith! If
we had faith in God and obeyed
God as Abraham did, we would
be able to do great things for
God.
Gideon
We think of the bravery of
this young man who went out
with only three hundred men
against an army. Of course Gid
eon could not have done this if
he had not been inspirted by
God. He was a man who talked
often with the Lord; this was
the secret of his success. In our
life as Christians we have to
go up against great odds. There
seems to be such a few people
in our ranks but the other side
is crowded. Our best efforts for
less and swallowed up in the
good often seem small and use
great sea of indifference. It is
good at such times to think of
Gideon and his band and to re
member that we serve the same
God and He is ready to deal
with us as He did with Gid
eon.
Paul
When he was converted, Paul
asked God. “What wilt thou
have me to do?” From that time
on we find Paul doing what God
wanted him to do. He went on
long journeys, visited strange
lands and strange peoples. He
was beaten, stoned, put in pris
on. We find him saying, “None
of these things move me, neith
er count I my life dear unto my
self.” No wonder such a man
or a woman today with the spir
it of Paul would do just as
great things for God as He did.
We need men and women today
who are willing to obey God as
Paul did. A number of persons
like him would transform the
world.
John Knox
When we think pf the men'
who have great power at pray
er, we are filled with wonder
and awe. Jacob, Elijah, Daniel
and Jesds and many other men
of God have thrilled and in
spired us with their greatness
in prayer. John Knox, the great
! Presbyterian, Was a man who
had great pdwe*’ with God fin
prayer. Presbyterian Scotland
stands today as a memorial to
the earnest prayers of this man
of God. Yes, his earnest pray
ers were the secret of John
Knox’s great power. He was in
earnest. Who can doubt his
earnestness as he, gaunt and
emaciated from fasting, cries
to God, “Give me Scotland, or I
die.”
The world today needs men
and women who are earnest in
prayer like John Knox was.
John Wanamaker
John Wanamaker was known
as the Merchant Prince of the
world. It was thrilling to visit
his stores. It was inspiring to
hear the story of his life. This
rich man began life as a poor
boy. The significant thing about
it all is that he was a Sunday
school hoy .He loved God fluid
humanity. He proved this dur
ing his long, useful life. God
saw that John Wanamaker was
worthy and lie made him one
of His stewards. He was ruler
over a large portion of our
Lord’s wealth and. talent in the
world. Are we ready for such a
position? Could the Lord trust:
us to use a large sum . of money
to His glory and honor and the
benefit of humanity.
; r'D. L.‘ Moody , , _ :^
It is not as tlie great preach
er we wish to think of Mr. Moo
dy just now, but as the young
man who would go into a church
and take empty benches for his
Sunday school class. Then he
would go out into the city or
town among rich and poor, cul
tured and ignorant, and fill
those empty benches with boys
and girls, young meii and wom
en. He did this often. He would
give his class to some one else,
take some more empty benches
and fill them with people again
and again. Another trait of this
great man was never to let a
day pass without asking some
one to accept of JCsus as Lord
and Master.
, Why can we not have men
and women like that now? Our
God is just as powerful now as
He was then, and the church
needs several Moodys,
