Every minister, every teacher, every believer needs, says Joseph Parker, "periods of solitude sad communing with God; away from the fray, the battle, the race, but receiving nourishment, nutriment, inspiration. comfort, and even words by which to express the divine thought And. coming back from the mountain

r obedience and radiant cheerfulness." V. 1. "Saw that Moses delayed." He was gone <0 days (Ex. 2C:18). almost seven weeks, If the week with the leaders In the lower parts of the mountain Is lo be added (Ex. £4:9.16). The absence of Moses was a time of : eating both the leaders and the people They bad just taken the oath of allegiance to God. and unanimously promised to obey him. V. I. "Cp. make us gods." or a god. "which shall go before us.” and be our leader. They could not see God. and they wanted some visible expression of God. They bad several manifestations of God.—the pillar of cloud and Ore. the glory on the mountain, and the dally manna; but even these became so common that they did not make them realise the presence of God. They had just come from the land of Idols, heathen gods everywhere. All these gods could be seen. The attractions of Idolatry were of no mean power. They were familiar with the way tn which the Idols of the heathen were worshiped, with feasting and rioting and unrestrained licentiousness. In marked contrast with the purity and self-control required by Jehovah. V. 6. "And when Aaron saw It (this)." Saw In what light the people viewed the Image. "He built an altar before It . . . and said, to-mor-row Is a feast to the Lord." God was still to be worshiped, but under the form of a calf. Probably Aaron thought he was very shrewd In thus saving for God what he could of honor and reverence. So Jehu boasted of his real for the 1-ord of hosts while he was worshiping the golden calves Of Jeroboam (£ Kings 10:16. £9). V. 7. The Lord said unto Moses. Go, get thee down." Moses In the thick cloud which covered the top of SlniU could not see or hear what was going on below. Bat It was no time for him to remain apart, even In communion with God; there was work to do below, which his mountain-top experience fitted Mm to do. So the three disciples who viewed the Transfigure tlon weer not allowed to remain on the Mount, but were sent down to their dally work where the others were In vain trying to enre a demon-con-trolled boy. To test Mm, God offered to destroy the nation and make Mosea the aeronrt Abraham of a new nod greater people. Mote* stood the test, rejected the tempting offer, and urged upon God three pleas for merer. Moses hasten ed down tbs mountainside, with Jorima. who had been waiting (or him. Soon they came In sight of the abominable Idol, and the frenzied worshipers dancing, half naked, around It. Probably there was a power not only in Ms soul, but In his appeannee.— some gleams of that glory described In Ex. S4:». The breaking of the tables of the covenant was enough to cause the stoutest heart to fear. Moses then buined the golden calf and ground It to powder. "It is almost Impossible to pulverise pure gold, but the act was made easily possible, probably. by alloys present in the Jewelry from which the Idol had been made." —Patterson Du Bots. Then Moses put the question. "Who la on the Lord s aider Who will aland for the right, whatever their past mistakes, whoever else may re-

Practical Points. The consequences of loving anything more than we lore God are deadly. The character detertomlee; the conedeare destroys peace: the allurements and attractions fade Into horrors; plagues come; we fall of God's guidance; the Idol Is destroyed and nolMng takes Its place. •The soul Is like a curious chamber with elastic walls, which can be expanded. with God as Its guest, inimitably, but which, without God. shrinks and shrivels until every vestige of the divine la gone."—Henry Drummond. In Meturai Law.
