Lesson (By E. O. SELLERS. Director of Eve ning Department The Moody Bible In stitute of Chlcaco.) LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 9. GOD'S COVENANT WITH NOAH. LESSON TEXT Gen. :8-!7. GOLDEN TKXT "I do set my bow in f. the cloud and it shall be for a token o covenant between me and the earth." Gen. 9 It i u , , I. Versee 8-11.. At the conclusion of the lesson of last week Noah was em- barked in the ark and the flood was over the earth. Between that tiir. and the time of this lesson Noah made three attempt to ascertain if the tine had arrived for him to leave the Ark. At last Cod gave him com - mand (8:15, 16) to "go forth." but he aid not go empty nana-xi .oan naa taken his all In the ark and it proved , j . , . .1 to be a most profitable investment. , Though shut up 150 days ( 7 : 24 1 . Cod 1 must have been in the hearts of that ! little company as they stepped forth j upon the dry land. What an over- I powering sense of God's gracious mercy. What a recollection of God's ' awful wrath. What a trembling least ! there be a repetition of this disaster. And what an amazement in coniein i plating the mighty work of founding a new race. Noah's Offering. The first act on Noah'8 part upon leaving the ark was to build an ultar unto God and to offer a burnt offering s:zui inus we see mat uou s cov i enant with Noah was based upon tie;i'r" Iougal-M'lougal had or ground of shed blood illeb 10-22). dered a ''OiUijuinea piano from Ixn and as such it was an acceptable of . , iiy. went un to town, hut do- fering. "a sweet smelling sacrifice" (8:211, because it was an expression! of entire consecration to God. Phil. ' 4:18. This offering is. of course, a. type of Christ who is the "Lamb alaiu : from the foundation of the world " As Noah's offering, see 8:21. averted, a rightful penalty, even so the offering of Christ redeems us from the cursr of sin which is our Just due, Gal 3:U As they look about upon the cleansed earth, for there is no sin present except that of their own hearts, they are to us a type of that new life Into which we enter through Jesus Cli -1st, see I Peter 3:20. 21 A study of covenants and of coven ant making ceremonies is always in tensely Interesting In the Piblical meanlug a covenant Is a compact or agreement between two parties, (1) between God and rrmn. (2t between man and man. In this covtnant God bestowed the benefit of an asuri-nce. though Noah had had certain enndi tions Imposed upon him. Lie fulfilling of which brought him to 'his place where he might receive this assur ance. God's covenant with Noah was one of eight great covenants, 1 1 ) the one made in Eden. Gen l?S; 2 the Adamlc, Gen 3: IS; (1) this with Noah, Gen. 8:21, 22; (4) one with Abraham, Gen. 15:18; in) that with Wosea. Ex. 19:25; ffi) one with the Israelites, Deut. 36:3; (7) that with David, 2 Sam. 7:16; (8) the new cov enant. Heb. 8:8. The main elements of this covenant are. (a) the removal of the curse, 8:21; (b) the assurance of returning harvests and regular sea on, 8:22; (c) the promise of an abundant progeny, 9:1; (d) the domi nation of animal life, 9:2; (e) provi sion for food, both flesh and herd. 9: 3; (f) provision for sacrifice and wor ship, 9:4; (gl the safety of human life, 9:5; (h) the administration of Justice. 9:6 God's Promise. Vonh's life of obedience before he entered the ark had elicited God's promise that he would establish a covenant with him, see Eph 6:18; and so God today holds before all men the promise of a new and better covenant into which they also may -enter if they will, Heb 8:8. God has frequently used this covenant as an Illustration of his love and his faith fulness towards his people, Isa. 5: 9, 10, and this covenant included God's care for the beasts as well as man, verses 10, 15, 16, see also Ps. 36:5, 6; Jonah 4:11 This Is a good thought to emphasize with the younger pupils. II. Verses 12-17. As though Je hovah would make assurance doubly secure, he not only made a covenant but appointed a token, a sign, of that covenant, whereby the covenant Is to be remembered, read Gen. 17:11; Ex. 12:13, 2:12; Matt, 26:23 28; I. Cor. 11: 23-25. We must beware of read lng Into this passage any suggestion - that this Is the first appearance of a rainbow upon the earth; there la no such suggestion in the text, but rath er God to5k the rainbow which was set In the cloud and made of It a token of the covenant he had made with Noah. Whenever we behold a rainbow we ought to remember that his covenant was not alone to Noah, bu to us, his seed. The rainbow was formed of that same rain which nari produced the flood. "After the appearance of an entire rainbow, as a rule, no rain of long duration follows." The rainbow Is proof that the rain Is partial and that the sun of God's mercy Is shin lng. It lights up what had just been dark and fateful. Rainbows can be seen in all parts of the earth, so is his mercy all embracing. A rainbow la beautiful and attractive, and so is Jesus the chief among ten- thousand and the one altogether lovely. An arch 1 the strongest form of ma sonry construction. HER DEFENSE SEEMED GOOD "Stamp of Conscious Innocence" on Word of Woman Accused of Stealing Boots. A bright spirit of earlier days. Charier McKeand, an advocate ready for any emergency, . dropped into court too late one day to read the depositions, and found himself faced with the duty of defending a woman for stealing a pair of boots. He burst info a moving harangue, and said he would road the very words of i her dofense on arrest, since they bore j "the stamp of conscious innocence. j He seized the depositions, and went nn : "Ha ' Horn we are." Oh. Vm !w He faltered a little when he saw j thrrn. Well, gentlemen, thinned- ! ' . "cated woman does net put it as you 1 or I would put it, but I said I would ' I road her words and .1 will.

A treat house warmin? was tak ing place at the Dougal-M'Dougal's place. There was game to hunt, ghosts t ditto, and good food and wine withal. There were hagpijies and hari:is. dancers and sinsrers.

Kendrlck, In a letter from this place, "and at times, I could not bear to stand on my feet The doctor said I would never be any better, and that I would have to have an operation, or I would have a cancer. I went to the hospital, and they oper ated on me, but I got no better. They said medicines would do me no good, and I thought I would have to die. At last I tried Cardui, and began to Improve, so I continued using It. Now, I am well, and can do my own work. I don't feel any pains. Cardui worked like a charm." There must be merit In this purely vegetable, tonic remedy, for women Cardui for It has been In successful use for more than 50 years, for the treatment of womanly weakness and disease.
