1 dltclplloe Id the wilder- j The people left Egypt a mere crowd of fugltlre ilares. with only the nidi- | menu of natloDal organlution. and the dimmest religioos ideas. Dm the Interval had effected an Immense change. They had now become an orcanned people, with laws, a constltution or covenant, a priesthood, a relic | lous ritual, and house of worship; and j with a political and military organise i lion, under Judges and officers placed over thousands, hundreds. Cftles and tens (Ex. 1S:2S; Duet. 1:16). and a general council of ?> elders (Ex. 14:1: Num. 11: IS. 21-K) which the rabbis believe wag~ue origin of the Sanhedrim. Make a record of their experiences during this year, and show Low each one was a preparation for their com Ing life. According to the census of Numbers 1 and 2. there were 60J.560 men. 20 years old and upwards, besides the 22.272 Lerites. This would naturally imply about 2.000.000 in alL But Prof. WU1U J. Beecher, of Auburn Theological seminary. In a lecture not Jong ago suggested that the enumeration may have been technical. Just as we count sn army. A regiment consists of 1.000 men. while often In rarious ways not more than 400 or 600 are present, and yet we call it a regiment; £00.000 may be equivalent to 600 regiments. "the thousands" containing but a few hundreds, so that there may not have been more than 200.000 men or 1.000.000 persons in alL This schooling was Uka a preparatory school education for young peo-

The Pillar cf Cloud and of Fire.— Two symbols of God always went before the people on their march. The ark of God. containing the two tables of the Law. the covenant of the people with God; and over it the guiding pillar of cloud by day and of Are by night, rising high above the host, a conspicuous object that could be seen not only by the marshaled host, but by the scattered companies of women snd children, as they fed their flocks, and followed afar off the marvelous signs! of the divine presence. A great host marching through a country without roads or other marks of civilization. must be provided with some conspicuous object to serve as a signal to the main body, and to all straggling parties connected with It. Hence, the round grate, full of kindled fuel, elevated oa a pole, which was carried before caravans and armlet In the east- The ancient Persians carried a sacred fire In silver si tart before their armies, and other ancient nations observed a similar custom. For fallev description see Nam. J: 16-22., A Strange Guidance.—The Lord was guiding the people to the promised land. We can imagine them saying. Now that the Lord guides ns wa will be led only In pleasant ways. In green {matures, and besides still waters, away from dangers and enemies, away from serpents, and drought, and hunger. and we will reach the promised land by the shortest route, In the quickest time. Bat. as a matter of fact, the Lord had led them Into the ible by- the Red sea,' Into the dry thirsty land where no water was. Giving the Invitation.—Every thrlstlaa should be able to give Just such an Invtuuon ns this. He knows whither be la going, and what Jbys are sure at the end of the Journey. The power of'the Invitation lies In our
