CkMrTKCT.---Ii the journey from Sinai to Paran, the beginning' of which was sketched in last lesson, Israel halted twice, once at Taberah and once at Hazerotb. At the first' named place the people complained, and many were desiroyed by fire, (Numb. 11:1-3 ) Having become' weary of manna they Sighed for animal food, and quails were sent, of which they ate so rreely that many died. (Numb. 11:33 ) To relieve the labor of Moses seventy elders were appointed, and the spirit of God was given to them as to Him. Through Jealousy Aaron and Miriam raised a sedition against : Moses at Hazerotb, claiming that they were entitled to ex ercise authority as much as he, but complaining most of his Ethiopian wife. (Numb. 12:L) For this offense Miriam was stricken with leprosy and shut out of camp for seven days, but was healed in answer to the prayer of Moses, i (Numb. J2:10-14.) From, Hazeroth the journey was through a weary land. (Deut. 1:19.) Our present lesson per tains to an incident after the camp was established in Paran, (Numb. 12:16.) ukookaphy. The term wilderness. frequently used in 1 Scripture- (Matt. 6:1), does not always signify a wild and desolate region. It is nearly synony mous with our word country, denoting a sparsely inhabited section. The wil derness or country of Paran, for manv centuries the home of the Ishmaelites, lay along the southern border of the Promised Land. It was bounded on the east by Edom, the possession of the descendants of Esau (Gen. 36:43), and on the west it stretched toward Egypt, witn indefinite limits, some parts of Parp.n were barren wastes; others were fertile, affording pasturage. The north ern and eastern portions were moun tainous, and between the lofty ranges were beautiful valleys, it was the evi dent purpose of God to lead Israel to its inheritance by the most direct and ex peditious route through Paran. Fol lowing the cloud of divine presence Moses established headquarters at Ka- desn-Barnea, in the northeastern cor ner, the natural gateway to southern Palestine, expecting, after reconnoiter- mg, to advance and take possession. (Deut. 1:20.) Spies. Before entering Canaan, twelve men, one from eich tribe (Numb. 13: 4-16) were sent to examine the country. This was an act of good generalship and wise statesmanship. No leader would conduct three million of people into a land with which he was unacquainted, hie would be especially cautious if enemies were to be met and battles fought. Besides, God had di rected this preliminary advance (Numb. 13: 1. 2) for reasons which will appear in the sequel. Withal, there was a popular demand (Deut. 1: 22) showing that the government was not autocratic, nor yet purely theocratic, but to some extent democratic. The spies repre sented all Israel and went forth to exer cise a right, denied to the whole heathen world, the right to judge somewhat concerning policies and measures. It was an exhibition of the spirit of per sonal liberty, born of the sense of moral responsibility which bad been quicken ed under the new regime. The Israel ites were no longer slaves. Having escaped from bondage (Deut. 6: 12) they purposed to enter their new home as freemen. Ordebs. Definite instructions were given to the spies before their depar ture. They were directed to ascend the mountain from which they might look northward, a view but little less invit ing than that afterward granted to Moses from the top of Pisgah. (Deut. 34:1.) Thence they were told to walk through the land, taking careful note of the cities, the fields, the inhabitants, indeed everything that would enable them to render a full and accurate ac count (verses 17-19.) The chief object of that visitation was to determine the method or route of entrance and the best plao of settlement. (Deut. 1:22.) A survey was needed that the bounda ries and homes of the different tribes might be fixed advantageously to them selves (Deut. 12:10-11), and wisely for the general good. And yet, as dangers were sure to beset the movements of such a prospecting party, they were charged to be of good courage (verse 20.) They left at the time of the first ripe grapes, June, B. C , 1490, and were absent forty days (verse 25.) Counthy. It is impossible to give the itinerary of the spies. Scholars believe that they passed directly through from south to north, probably a little dis tance west of the Jordan. The extreme point mentioned was Rehob (Josh. 19:28), northwest of the sea of Galilee, on a line with the city of Tyre, about two hundred miles in a right line from Kadesh-Barnea. They crossed many beautiful valleys, among them the plain of Esdraelon, where Jacob's sons fed their flocks centuries before. (Gen. 37:12.) It is probable that the return trip was nearer the Mediterranean, for tuey came iu ucuruu, a- very nuutcub town, which afterward became famous in the history of Israel. (2 Sam. 5:3.) Thence bearing eastward and passing through the far-famed valley of Eschol (Numb. 22:9), they returned to camp. This exploration, so thoroughly con ducted, made an agreeable impression upon the minds of men who had lived in Egypt and in the wilderness. They were entirely satisfied with the country. (Deut. 6:10-11.) By its extent, its situ ation, its variety of climate, its hills and valleys, its rivers and lakes, it was eminently adapted to be the home of God's people. Products. Egypt was a land of corn (Gen. 42:9), the granary of the world. The spies, who had seen little of agri culture except in the wheat fields of the Nile bottom lands, were astonished at the productions of the country through which they passed. It was indeed a fat land (Neh. 9:25), flowing with milk and honey, as had been promised, (Ex. 3:8.) There was not only variety and abun dance, but excellence of quality. On reaching the Valley f of Eschol they found the grape, the pomegranate and the fig, surpassing anything they had ever known. The fruit was so large thai they cut off branches and bore them upon poles as samples for the delight of their countrymen. At this day travelers speak in high terms of the fruits of that locality, although more than thirty centuries have passed and an inferior civilization has been es tablished by a less thrifty people. What must have been presented before the astonished eyes of the twelve Israelites we can scarcely imagine! People. This land, which God pro posed to give to Israel, which in fact He had by promise conveyed to Abraham and his posterity, (Gen.' 13;15,) waa densely populated at this time.. There were several tribes or nations who had held the country for many centuries they were the descendants of Ham. (Gen. 10:6, 15-18.) They are sometimes mentioned in Scripture under the com prehensive title of Canaan ites, but in other eases the various, tribal names Philistines, Hittites, HI rites, Jebusitea, Periszites, - Girgaslutes r arei given. Judging from their skill in war, (Josh. 17:16.) and the number and strength of their cities, (Josh. 6:2,) they must have attained an advanced civilisation.' Why should they be dispossessed ? . It may he replied that the earth is the Lord's, (Psalm 241.) sad that He appoints the habitations of men, (Acts 17:26.) A better answer would be that the Ca naanites once served God for Melehize dek, who. was of the 'same stock, was His priest, (Gen. 14:13.) but that they had relapsed ' into idolatry, and God proposed on that account to give their lands to a people who would serve mm. (Uan. 3:Z1. ' Repokt. Entering the camp at Ka desh-Barnea: . the spies presented .- the clusters of fruit and proceeded in glow tog terms to relate, what they had seen. Concerning the country sad. its produc tions they were uaaaimottsrrl Verse 274 But when the .practical question arose, how to enter and. ipossess, for the solu tion of which they had gone out, tney were divided. Ten of them had lost all their courage because they had seen "the sons of the Anakims," meri of pro digious size, in whose presence they seemed to be but grasshoppers. We are not able to go up against these peo ple," they said, "for they are stronger than we." A murmur of disappoint ment passed through the assembly as these words were uiierea; out vaieo, in whose opinion Joshua concurred, (Numb. 14:6) the representatives of Epbraim. and Jadtb, UNumo. I3:twi) stilled the people and said, "Let us go MVS. up at once, tor we are aoie. xoe voice of fear and the voice of faith had been heard. The former prevailed. With loud lamentation, spreading throughout the camp, Israel abandoned the purpose to enter the new home, and turned back to wander in the wilder ness. (Deut. 16. 35, 36.) Conclusion. The people were tested and round wanting. They were not ready for Canaan. Notwithstanding the many splendid achievements under Divine guidance during the past year (fci. id: 3.) they had not yet learned to trust in God. They expected success in tneir own strength (Dan. 4:30.) and their hope departed in the presence of obstacles. God could not use them. He must raise up another generation, schooled by half a century, or longer time if necessary, (2 Peter 3:8,) to do His service. So it has been in all nations and ages. Men have failed to reach their possibilities because they have not looked upward. (Psalm 121:1.) nor grasped the hand that is omnipotent. (Heb. 8:9.) On the threshold of a glorious future, because of "giants in the way," they have turn ed back from golden fields and luscious fruits, the free gifts of heaven, to wan dering, to hunger and weariness, and to ignominious graves. The Calebs and the Joshuas, of whom we shall hear again, are the men who win victory and make history. (Psalm 138:3, 7-8.) LET THE BALES BAND ACCEPT. It Has Beera Invited to Become a Regi mental Band The Work of White Caps A Returned Friend. Bpeclal to the Observer. Winston, Aug. 2. The Salem Band, which is perhaps the oldest musical as sociation in the State, has been offered the appointment of regimental band for the First North Carolina Regiment. The members have the proposition un der consideration and will probably ac cept. President Edmunds, of the Winston tobacco board of trade, reports the sales of leaf tobacco on this market for July to be 023,483 pounds The shipments of manufactured tobacco during the month were 1,088,095 pounds. The stamp sales aggregated $65,285.71. A serious shooting scrape occurred in Rock Creek township, Wilkes county, this week. It appears that some moon shiners went to the home of a young man by the name of Prevett, under the guise of White Caps, and called him out. As soon as he put his foot on the ground he received the contents of a shotgun in the head, face and neck. Prevett claims to know who three of the parties are. The moonshiners charge him with reporting them to the revenue officers. Rev. Samuel A. Purdie, for 24 years a Friends' missionary in Mexico, is at tending the Bib ical Institute, which is in session at Blue Ridge mission, Surry county. He has edited a paper for 23 years in the Spanish language, and pub lished many school and religious books and tracts, which are widely circulated in Mexico, Central and South America, as well as the West India Islands and Spain. His last labor in the ministry, prior to going to Mexico, was a visit "to the Fiiends' meeting in this section of North Carolina. The mortuary reports show that there were 18 deaths in Winston during July 5 whites and 13 colored. In Salem there were 8 deaths 7 whites and 1 colored. Some one went into the tobacco field of Mr.'Yrank Scott, near Enterprise, Davidson county, a few nights ago, and pulled up four thousand hills of nice, growing tobacco. Miss Carrie Hoskins, of Winston, has gained and been duly awarded the scholarship for this county in the Nor mal and Industrial College at Greens boro. It is announced to-day that a reduced schedule of rates for fire insurance, upon business property of Winston-Salem, is now in effect. An agent says the reduction from former rates will average about 25 per ceDt. The Friends' yearly meeting opens at High Point on the 7th inst. Several distinguished visitors from abroad are expected to attend. Mr. Robert D. Warner, of asbington Uity, is one of the early arrivals. Death of a Weil-Connected Lady Ashe- ville Has 11,700 People.

Initial trades were at slight! y better a flu res than at the close yesterday, owing to an advance in Liverpool of 14 a point. Holders, however, were weak, ana beean to sell on talk of good shipments to-morrow. Prices responaeo, declining per bushel, bat reacted, as it seemed impossible to get confirmation of these good shipment. Later, New York confirmed 1,000,000, and the feeling became heavy, scalpers and Boor traders joining in tbe selling. Eleva tors were aiso auotea as aoing soma selling which is not very encouraging for holders on such a narrow market. With a large trade and many buyers, tbe havy load of wbeat in oar elevators could easily be car ried, ana prices aavaneea. out on sucn a narrow market, with so little support fif teen million, bushels of wheat is certainly a heavy weight. The better export demand that was noted yesterday seemed to end to-day. We hear of nothing in the way of exports except gold. Clearances were very light only a trine over 30,000 bushels. The market closed steady at the decline. The feeling in corn at the opening was firm and prices a shade higher. Rumors that Argentine corn is arriving in bad con dition J and also talk of an export demand for America were the causes for strength. Later the feeling became heavy on rains throughout the West, and the large re ceipts. On the decline stop orders were caught, adding to the wf akness. Oats sympathized with the other cereal. Provisions were firm around tbe opening, but became heavy as soon as offerings be came noticeable. A sale of about 300.000 ribs stated the decline which, with the aid of selling on the part of packers and stop orders, were the causes of the slump. Laksom Bros. A Co. CITY PROD U UK MARKET.
