"And God said moreover onto Modes, Thus'shalt thou say unto the children- of Israel. Je hovah, the God of your fathers, thej ! J tL 1 JI M k T uuu . oi ADranam, me uoa or Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me rmto yo."-HExodus 3; 15., ' Lesson Text: Exodus 3: 1-7, 10, , 13-15.' The book of Exodus begins with a description of the dire plight of God's people in Goshen. foUowinjr the ae cession to the throne of a new dynas ty in Egypt, "who knew not Joseph." i The; descendants of Jacob were now subjected to cruel treatment and hard labor. The birth of Moses prepared the way for a deliverance in God's own time. Step by step, we are led to aee the . young deliverer's preparation (both - in Egypt and in the wilderness with i the priest of Midian) for the task for - which he was brought into the world, In our lesson this week, we learn of the call of this ' great leader to a definite task that of leading the Chosen People into a chosen land. "i Moses' life can be divided into three - phases, each of about the same dura tion. He has been estimated to have been 120 years old when he died. The " first part naturally includes his child hood and education as a young man in Egypt His religious ideals came from the .teachings of his mother, but ' he; was also learned . in. all the arts , and sciences-of the Egyptians, having ibeen reared, as the son of Pharoah's daughter. , ' , The second period covers a different ' kind ,of preparation. Up to this time, he had been leading the easy and cul- - tared life of an Egyptian prince, yet ; conscious of his racial kinship to the enslaved Hebrews. Visiting his peo ple one day, he saw1 an Egyptian task- ' master mistreat .one . of the Hebrew ; : workmen and. in an impetuous, un- , thinking mood, killed the Egyptian. i The consequence of this rash and un calculateft act was unforeseen.-' It is a tribute 'to the Egyptian spirit of justice of that day, however, that the royal court sought to arrest a prince r .of Egypt for the death of a citizen, but Moses, aware of the imminent danger,' disappeared in flight. - ' : - , Escaping from Egypt, Moses made his way to the region. sj4 M'ViiflB, east of Mi Sinai, near the Red Sea. Living the life of a fujritive." Moses had ample opportunity, for an inten- sive sell-analysis and reflection upon . the fundamental religious problems Which naturally come to a thoughtful man. ' - & The .third period of Moses' life shows him, a disciplined and capable leader, training a mass of former slaves into a nation, giving them laws and ideals, setting a high plane for tne rest or the world to emulate. -' Our lesson this week concerns par ticularly the second period of Moses' ' life. After killing the Egyptian and escaping to the desert country, Moses met and wed Zipporah, daughter of Jethro, ' the Priest of Midian,, whose other name, Reuel, meant ''friend of God." Evidently, the Midianitea were monotheistic - in belief -not unusual because they, too, were descendant of Abraham. So, for a long period of time, probably around forty years, who seems to have been a man ox much power and sagacity.. For sev eral decades, Moses, the one-time prince, followed, the calling of. a shep herd, having forgotten, the-authority and glamour which surrounded him in Egypt. Apparently, he was well con : tented but he was to be pulled out of his lethargy by a strangely-acted in spiration from God. ; , Busy with commonplace affairs, . Moses' turned aside to investigate a bush that was burning in the desert but which, was, not consumed. , His curiosity was rewarded with a revela tion of diety. Tvoa the God of. his fathers, he received, the call to de liver his'oppressed kinsmen from the tyranny of the Egyptians. , , Mentally considering the call for this unusua) and dangerous Jservice, Moses had four reasons why he should not undertake the mission. First, he felt that be was too insignificant; in r'piy, Jehovah promised to be with U:n. ' Second, he wantc i to know the 'name of this divine power and "I am" was given him, indzcatin the un- char-injf authority and .t..e evince of Jahve. In the .third place, Hoses said the Israelites would mrt be;;ve or accept limj Jehovah -;" i Urn with three us t' ', v Ing Ce simplex: i r"; -"i i c-'v'-'rs doubters. , 1 , 1 .'je8 atJJ he' was not eloquent r ' vt Je- hovV' :.'! l-.s a lce and, later. 1 i brother, Aaron, became his mout..; .v,ca. ; - . : ft' 1 .-4 7V KaVci-.;A-. i- UU;U) ' .

For three years lie has been singing for his church, and now after these many months he wouldn't miss practices for the world.-' . t i j But it wasn't always like that! During those first months tears were shed and Dad had to force Jimmy to attend rehearsals, because you see immy didn't know what was best. , ' There is a job for everybody at church. ' Maybe it isn't as obvious as singing in the choir. Maybe "it's something that's never been done before. But the thing is, you'll never know until you go and find ouf. .

We need the church and its teaching, and the church needs us to extend its work and services. Go to church next Sunday and find out how you can oest serve uod.
