v v " r i . . 1 . . .. S ; 7 ,sl Sunday School Lesson UNBELIEF DELAYS CONVENANT FULFILLMENT God told the Israelites about the land to which He had pro mised to lead them, and assured them that it would become theirs through simple faith and obedience. Upon their ar rival at the border of the Promised Land, the requiested Moses to appoint an appraisal committee to spy out the land. One man from each of the twelve tribes was chosen. After a search of forty days these twelve men returned and reported that they had found a land of luscious fruits, alluvial soil, and marvelous advantages, just as God had described it. Disagreement Numbers 13 : 30-33 Ten of the spies reported that the land was inhabited by giants and that the cities were so strongly fortified it would be impossible to take possession. Their report caused great disappointment, but Caleb got permission to submit the minority report. He and Joshua wisely kept the allurements of the Promised Land before the people. These men of faith did not minimize the difficulties, but they magnified the power of God. Their faith, which was expressed in the MRS. RICHARD LAWRENCE WINSLOW Winslo w-Byrum Exchange Vows In a setting of candlelight, mixed flowers and plams, Hazelene Marie Byrum .became the bride of Richard ; Lawrence Winslow recently t Happy Home Church.

For Your Information Dear friends, Robert Louis Stevenson, the author, suggested: "Don't take your self too seriously. I walk about every day and it is surprising how few people are smiling or look happy. It gives me a lift to see a beautiful smile and sparkling eyes. Try smiling, you'll like it."

Caleb's words of encouragement were quickly drowned by the protest of the unbelieving spies, who magnified the strength of the enemies of Israel. It is easy to discourage people when God is leading them to throw the weakness of self on the power of God and enemies of Israel. It is easy to discourage people when God is leading them in a venture of faith. It is so much better to persuade them to throw the weakness of self on the power of God and go forth trusting completely in Him. Dissatisfaction Numbers 14:1-3 After a feeling of disappointment, the people spent the night weeping. Feeling sorry for themselves, they tried to blame God for the circumstances in which they found themselves. Instead of being grateful to God, they directed their bitter resentment against His courageous servants for bringing them face to face with a task which demanded so much faith. They criticized Moses and Aaron harshly and unmercifully. They resolved that they would depose their leader, elect another, and return to Egypt. Determination Numbers 14:8-10 Caleb and Joshua protested the revolt with a reassurance of the fruitfulness of the land, and a plea that each of them perform his duty. They sought to restrain the people from doing that which was foolish and wrong in the sight of God. The people deliberately refected the counsel of these men and refused to do as God directed. They tried God's pa tience to the limit and it became necessary for Him to say, "Itisenought." Deprivation Numbers 14 : 20-23 Further patience on God's part would not have been a vir tue, but rather an indulgence. There is a limit to God's pa tience with a sinful people. By their rebelliousness against the will of God they had actually merited extermination, but, instead God demonstrated His mercy and loving kind ness by granting the request of Moses to pardon and spare them. However, through their disobedience the people had deprived themselves of the privilege of entering the Pro mised Land until forty years had elapsed. Naturally, in that time many of them departed from the earthly scene. By their disobedience to God so many people deprive themselves of God's richest blessings.
