HIGHLIGHTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
By NEWMAN CAMPBELL
(The International Uniform
Lesson on the above topic for Aug.
8 is Exodus 13-15, the Golden
Text being Exodus 15:2, “Jeho
vah is my strength and song, and
He is become my salvation.”)
WHEN THE Israelites went out
of Egypt, they gathered together
at Succoth, in the northwest of
Egypt, and there Moses told the
people what God expected of them
in return for His deliverance of
them. For seven days they should
eat no leavened bread, and every
year at that time the first born
of man and beast should be dedi
cated to the Lord.
Moses had arranged the setting
forth from Egypt at dawn so that
all the company, from the various
places where the Israelites had
settled, could come together If
they had not departed thus the
Egyptians themselves would have
driven them out, for none felt safe
with the Israelites in their midst
after the dreadful plagues Thus
all were gathered together to hear
Moses proclaim the word of God
to them.
The Lord did not lead His peo
ple out of Egypt through the land
of the Philistines, which was near,
because the Philistines were at
|var, and He feared .they might re
oent when they saw war and re
:urn to Egypt. So He led them
-hrough the wilderness of the Red
sea.
Take Joseph's Bones
Do you remember that when
Joseph died in Egypt he made
those gathered about his bed to
take oath that they would gather
up his bones and take them with
them when they left Egypt ? So
Moses took Joseph's bones with
them, and the procession wended
its way toward the Red sea. “And
the Lord went before them by day
in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them
the way: and by night in a pillar
of fire, to give them light; to go
by day and night.”
God commanded Moses to take
the children of Israel to encamp
by the sea, “for Pharaoh will say
of the children of Israel, they are
entangled in the land, the wilder
ness hath shut them in.”
Now- when it was told the king
of Egypt that the Israelites had
fled, he and his servants were
sorry that they had consented to
their exodus, for they missed the
services they had given them. So
Pharaoh made ready 600 chosen
chariots, all the chariots of Egypt,
and a captain over each chariot,
and his horsemen and army, and
followed after the Hebrews to
bring them back.
When the Israelites saw the
host coming, they immediately be
gan to complain to Moses saying,
“Because there was no graves in
Egypt, has thou taken us away to
die in the wilderness? where!ore
hast thou dealt thus with us, to
carry us out of Egypt?” £
But Moses answered them,
“Fear not, stand still, and see the
salvation of the Lord, which He
will shew to you today; for the
Egyptians whom ye have seen to
day, ye shall see no more forever.”
Moses commanded the Israelites
to form a column, facing a cer
tain portion of the shore; to load
their beasts, bring their cattle to
gether and have everything in
readiness for a start. Moses stood
at the head of the column with
his rod in his hand, and he
stretched out his hand over the
sea At once a strong east or
northeast wind blew and drove
the upper water of the shallow
bay toward the west or south, and
the lower water in the opposite
direction so the bed of the sea
was laid bare and the Israelites
walked over in safety.
The Egyptians doubtless
thought they could do the same,
and went in after them, their
chariots, horsemen—all the vast
army The angel of the Lord
“troubled the Egyptians,” took off
their chariot wheels so that they
drove heavily through the sand,
and the Egyptians became fright
ened and said. “Let us flee from
the face of Israel, for the Lord
fighteth for them against the
Egyptians.”
It was too late, for Moses, on
the other side of the sea, raised
his rod, the water came together
and buried the Egyptians, their
men, horses, chariots and all. Not
one was left, and “Israel saw the
Egyptians dead upon the sea
shore.”
Thus was Israel saved, and
Moses and all the children of
Israel sang this song unto the
Lord:
“1 will sing unto the Lord, for
He hath triumphed gloriously:
“The horse and his rider hath
He thrown into the sea.
“The Lord is my strength and
song,
“And He is my salvation.”
And Miriam, the prophetess,
sister of Aaron, took a timbrel
in her hand; and all the women
went out after her with timbrels
and with dances.

A Day At Camp
We get up at seven
And that isn’t heaven.
The bell rings at eight
But we’re never late.
We have assembly at nine,
And we like that fine.
We have riding every other day,
That’s O.K.;
But we wish we could say
“We have it every day.”
Then comes swimming, it’s a
sensation
That’s an inspiration with a
real destination.
We all have a hunch
When it’s time for lunch.
Right after noon
We go to the “Sleepy Lagoon”
Where we read
And get all the rest we need.
Then we go back to swim with
plenty of vigor and vim!
We play tennis in our spare
time,
And we’re sorry if this poem
doesn’t rhyme.
And then out goes the light
For the rest of the night,
And everything is quiet
In the “Sleepy Lagoon.”

tons of tin will be saved in 1943
and 5,000 tons in 1944 by reducing

Timely Hints For
Farm Homemakers
BY RUTH CURRENT
If you really want to enjoy snap
beans, cook them just long enough
to make them tender. That way
you can still keep the flavor and
the bright green color. This cook
ing method is suggested by nu
tritionists to save food values.
There are at least three schools
of thought on preparing snap beans
for cooking. The old-fashioned way
is to snap them into irregular
pieces. Another way is to lay a
handful of pods on your chopping
board and use a long knife to
cut them slantwise into one-length
pieces. Or they may be shredded
into long, thin slivers. Shredded
beans cook more quickly and that
means a saving of vitamins and
minerals.
When snap beans are cooked
tender, serve them piping hot with
some added fat and seasonings.
Some cooks like to use butter—
heated a bit so it has a nice
browned flavor. Others prefer ba
con fat—sometimes with bits of
crisped bacon sprinkled over the
top of the dish of green beans.
Still others like to cook the beans
with some salt pork or a ham
hock—but don’t overcook.
Young snap beans are a favorite
vegetable for home canning. If
you’re planning to can be sure to
take the advice of canning experts
and use a pressure canner. Snap
beans, like most other vegetables,
must be processed at a high tem
perature, much higher than the
boiling point. That is the only way
to make them safe from spoilage.
If you want to know more about
canning vegetables, write to the
Extension Service, Home Demon
stration Division, State College,
Raleigh.
