sidered the covenant between God and
Abraham and in this lesson, we are A
see how God is carrying out His part
of -the covenant, leading the children
of Israel out of bondage in Egypt and
through it, w can see (His hand in
the unfolding history , of an entires na
tiom. y; -.- "' "
As our lesson story begins, the Is
raelites have long since been delivered
from bondage in Egypt During 1 the
intervening years, many of those who
fctft Egypt have died and their children
and jrrandchildren 'are ithe ones who
1 are aibout to enter miw wuai
Land of Canaan. Moses, their leader
alt through the wilderness wander-
' ings, is instructing Ithem, in the faith
and reminding 11 ithem how God cared
t for their fathers and had brought them
from a life of slavery to freedom in
..' a new land. " '
(Moses explains the meaning and im
portance of "the tew of God which had
been given to the children of Israel
by God on Mount ISinai, eo that when

monies, and the statutes, and the or

much to remember. Although living

- Charles v Edward DLocke declares:
"The Creator advances the slffairs of a
nation by a succession of divine im
pulses which responsive men have en
deavored to fulfill in their lives. As

Tommy has borrowed Daddy's rod and
reel, a can from the kitchen waste-basket,
and a couple of worms from Mama's flower,
garden. ' Now Tommy's going fishingjust
like Daddy and big brother Bill.
' Children like to grow-up by imitation.
Even though Tommy won't catch any fish,
it's fun to pretend to be a real grown-up
fisherman...
'The counterpart of imitation is example.
That is the blueprint that Daddy and Mama
and big brother Bill provide for Tommy's
adventure of growing-up.
But the Church has had a vital part in
Tommy's growth. Before Tommy was even
born, the Church was teaching his parents
and his brother the Master Blueprint of
