Introduction—The life of Mo.es is divided into three periods of forty years each. 1. He wa* in Egypt forty years, during which time he was trained, first in his own home, and afterwards in the household of Pharaoh. J. He was in Midian forty years, caring for the sheep of his father-in-law, in the very wildernrs« where he was to lend forth the .children of larael. 3. The first eighty year, of hi. life were only a preparation for hi. life work, which wak the deliverance of Israel. For forty years be led the people of Cod in their •-vanderiny. as they journeyed towards Canaan. 1. "Pnest of Midian." Or prince, or both priesi and prince, "the original has both meanings.” "Led the flock." For about forty years Mo.es had been serving a. a shepherd, caring for the flocks of his father-in-law. "Back of the wilderness." (R. V.) During all these year, he had been holding commcaibn with God. and was being prepared for hi. life work. But think of a man with power and ability such os Mom* had, being h »’.d down for forty year* tfith a few abeen! Yet thi. was evidently God*, plan. H- 'i wanderings would make him thoroughly acquainted with thi. whole region, and this would be of great importance to him when he came to lead hi. people out from Egypt. "Mountain of God." Sometime. named Horeb, ct other time. Sinai. It wa» called the mountain of God bec.urt God apnea red upon it to Moaea. 2. "Angel of the Lord." Not a created an eel for be is called Jehovah Vs. 4. 8. This w*. none other than Jesus Christ, the Redeemer of mankind. "A flame of fire." Representing God s majesty, purity and power, and showing that He was about to bring destruction to His enemies, and light and comfort to Hi. people. "The buih burced." 1. As an emblem it instruct*. 2. A. a miracle it astonishes. 3. As a magnet it attracta. 4. As a monitor it warn*. Thi* is. 1. An emblem of the state of the Inxelie* in their distreu. 2. Of the state of the church in the world. 3. Of the state of every true Christian. "Not consumed." Showing that this wa* fire from heaven. 3. "Why the bush,” etc. He desire if possible to see the cause of thi* strange appearance. Cod will r^real to listening »oul« all they need to know in order to be able to follow and obey Him. «. "God railed—out of the bush.” Flame is the best svmbol of God. 1. It is immaterial. 2. It is glorious. 3. It it mysterious in its nature. 4. As light, it is everywhere—omnipresent. #. It enlightens the world. 6. It is a source of life, beauty and power. 7. It is undefiled and undefiltble, absolutely pure-. 8. It is terrible os a destructive power. 9. It is wanning, cheering and life-giv-ing. “And maid Moses.” Moms being thus addressed by name, must have been more surprised by what he heard than by

what he saw.

At the annual meeting of the lah Aaaoclatlon for the Adv

of Science In Glasgow last month, the engineering section listened to a paper on lightning rods contributed by KUUngworth Hedges. He described the rods In use on St. Paul's cathedral In London, which, though erected less than 80 years ago, bad been found to be defective. He had himself planned the rearrangement and also one lor Westminster abbey. The conditions

Mr. Hedges said that on St Paul's cathedral the number of ordinary conductors from air to earth had been itly Increased; and, besides these, liontal cables were run on the ridges of the roofs and In other prominent positions so as to encircle the building, being interconnected to the vertical conductors wberevor they cross one another. The horizontal cable* were furnished at Intervals with

Owing to the difficulty of sinking earth plate of sufficient area, on account of old foundations at St. Paul's, a tubular earth had been designed. He had recommended keeping the conductor away from the buildlng.becausc that was the plan followed on the continent, where lightning storms

were much more frequent that land. It was very difficult,
