I Suggiitlvi Thought.

Moies hid completed hit work. The time had come for him to entrant the future of till people hands On account of (ill almost only failure to come up to his standard, at the Waters of Merihah. he was not liermltted to entei the promised land. His public sin before all the people must be punished to show that God was Impartial, that no matter what ones privileges or attainments he cannot be Immune In sin. But for Moses, as always with his people. God mingled love with Justice, and showed Moses that punishment was a necessity. but God's heart overflowed with loving kindness and tender mercies toward his child and prophet Visions of Heaven. God gives us Plsgah views of the promised land to which we are tarvellng through this wilderness world. (1) W'o have them In Scriptures, where glimpses of heaven are given to us. both by description and by the ideals of a holy life set before us. But one must have something of the character of Moses before be can see the vision in Its true glory. (J) God gives his children heavenly experiences, earnest and foretastes of the blessedness to come. But these, too. come after faithful service and devoted living. The object of these visions is (1) to present before us the true ideal of life. It is not a vain thing to think often of a perfect and holy heaven, for It ahows us how we ought to live on earth. (2) To be a motive and inspiration to higher living. (S) To be a comfort in hours of darkness and

Character Sketch of Moses.—Vs. 1012. Moses stands among the few greatest men in all history. In every direction he was great and good. - 1. As a Prophet—A prophet is one who speaks and acts under the dlrctlon of God, the medium through which God reveals his will to men. 10. "And there arose not a prophet . . . like unto Moses.” No other was like him till we come to Jesus, the prophet whom God had promised should be raised up like unto Moses (Deut 18:18), the organlxer of a new kingdom speaking the truth directly from God. "Whom the Lord knew face to face.” God revealed himself and his will directly to Moses without the intervention of any angel or hutSan being. God's spirit acted upon

the spirit of Moses.

11. “In all the signs and the wonders. greater than any wrought till Jesus Christ came. They proved to the Israelites that Moses was God's messenger to them, his commands ware God's commands, his leading where God would have them led. 12. “In all that mighty hand." The hand is the symbol of power In action —the Instrument of power. “All the great terror," which God wrought against Pharaoh and other enemies which was doubtless one of the reasons why the Israelites were so safe

in the wilderness.

2. As a Saint—Moses’ goodness shines as brightly as his greatness. He was unselfish. He devoted himself at every cost to the good of his people. He encountered every danger for their sakes. He was willing ’ to die to save them. He was the embodiment of love to God and love to man. By seeing God face to face he was becoming transformed into his

spiritual likeness.

3. His Imperfection.—Two or throe times some fault is attributed to Moses, as every saint has failed in some point at some time. There is no garden but has some weeds. But the most unjust thing we can do is to measure Its value by Its weeds and

not by its fruits

4. Moses as a Statesman.—"Inspiration apart Moses possessed all those endowments and qualities which form magistrate: an Intellect of the highest order: a perfect mastery of ail the civil wisdom of the age; a penetrating. comprehensive and sagacioiu Judgment: great promptness and energy In action; patriotism which neither ingratitude. Ill treatment nor rebellion could quench, or even cool; a commanding and persuasive eloquence; a beany lore of tenth, an Incorruptible virtue 5. As a general Moses delivered Us

-try settled by fierce tribes, which they conquered. C. As a Lawgiver.—However much ■say have baas added by the development of the people, like the amend menu to the constitution and laws of the Bailed States, yet through Mooes was instituted the great system of civil and religious law. 7. As a Poet—Th# two songs Ir Deuteronomy 22 and 22. and Psalm »<>

Stevenson's get-up Is thus described >y a fellow member of tbe Bavlle dub: 'He wore a black flannel shirt, with a curious knitted tie twisted In a knot; be bad Wellington boots, rather tight dark trousers, a |>ea Jacket and a white sombrero hat. But the most astonishing Item of all In bis costume was a lady's sealskin cu|>e, which be wore t bis shoulders, fastened at the neck by a fancy brooch, which also held together a bunch of daffodils." The dress of Girard de Nerval, the French poet. was. on one occasion at least. In keeping with tbe lobster which was wont to lead abroad ou a gayly ored ribbon. Trousers, coat and waistcoat were of green satin, each. •rer. of a different hoe. to represent the varied colors of tbe sea under se conditions.
