lh»umains. Jrrtchu Comment and SugsMtlva ThougfcL Joshua, the New Leader.—Hit Name, oHrlnaMy Hothea. the eame a* the prophet Ho»ea. slxnirylnc "salvation" or "help." To this was added afterwards tNum. IS: 16) "Jo" for Jehovah. and the name became Johosua. "Jehovah Is salvation." shortened to Joshua, later modi-led to Neh. 8: 17 to Jeshua. from which came Its Greek ?• nu In the Septusxlnt. Jewmis. Jesus, of whom Joshua was In some respects

a type.

Ills Ancestry.—He was an Kphralt •e. a descendant of Joseph, through r ihtalni, and accordlnc to 1 Chro rhe was the eleventh Keoeratlon 'ram Joseph. Ills father's in and his srandfalher. * as a captain of the army of Kphralmltea. 40.500 In number, at rcanlxatluns of the Israelites i after the vxodua (Num. 2: 18. etc. eon!'»red with 1 Chron. 7: 27). HI* Birthplace.—He must hare born In Goshen In Eaypt. when •■srenta were In slavery. We would know all of life If we pletely understood any one life. It Is ell to read what we can In Joshua's ::ook of life. 1. Matheson calls his life prosaic. •- mmonplsco, that ofan assistant to Moses. Of the threeMSasses of men— those "In advance of their time, the men up to their time, and the men following their time"—Joshua was one of the last type, "without originality, obeying orders; his deeds only breathe through him. not from him." Thus the blind preacher makes Joshua comfort and strength and hope to the vast majority of This may be true of the earlier portions of his life up to the time of this lesson. But now he comes ward of his faithfulness as one who obeys orders. By obeying he has learned to command. By faithfulness in little things he la able to do great things. Tbl* Is the only ladder that may be climbed to the best The one who would be an orator Is told to learn the great orations by heart. The one who would be a painter studies and copies the great artists. When the time came he was able to enter the door to his great life-work. 2. A well-known scholar, says the Temple Bible, "considers the finest religious conception In the book the ap pcs ranee to Joshua of the angelic ‘Cap •tain of the Lord's host' (Josh. 5: IS 15). It Is a noble Illustration of the truth that In the great causes of Ood uion the earth, the leaders, howevei supreme they mem. are themselvc: led." Joshua was great because b< ^ as under divine guidance, taught b; dtrtse wisdom, and therefore, humble jtnd strong. S. Its was a man of great courage, both physical and moral, as be had shown In the battle with Amalek. an ' still more In acOoa. In spying out th land and to almost alone reslstln the clamors of the people. 4. He was a man of faith. 5. He was deeply and Intensely re llglons. through sad through. 8. lie came to have fine qualities as a general,—keen observation power to control, wise leadership, ct lerliy of tuoremeat akllful. strategy boldness of attack. Ebers. In his romance "Joshua.' makes him. not without some proha blllty. a captain prior to the Exodus In the Egyptian army, well accustom «-d to campaigning. The Difficulties In the Way.—Thest -were very great Indeed. 1. The Jordan was at Us Hoot* t Josh. 3: 15). absolutely Impassablt for an army, much leas for the whop jieople of Israel. This made them safi from attack, but also prevented ther from taking possession. 2. The people of the land dwelt I: walled cities against which the Israe' lies had no snffldent weapons. These obstacles rose like an Im jossable barrier of mountains befon the people. “Impossible to overcome' was written all over them. It was like the task whiCh Jesus set before hit disciples when be wa» about to b( crucified—(w«ve unlearned, unarmed poor men to conquer the Roman era plre. when one breath of Cesar could sweep them from the earth; to over come the wealth, the worldllnema. the selfish ness, the sin. and crime of the world. I^banon was but a molehill to this mountain of difficulty. The people were dismayed, disheartened, hopeless almdSl to despair. Practical Points. The path of doty Is Ilka a direct road to success, and moving from It In either direction lea da to disaster sad defeat. "Note the terms righteousness. rectitude, uprightness and. In matters of opinion, orthodox, while the word ‘wroa^ la. etymological)y akin to 'wrang; twisted-"—*D. Steele

Sulphuric acid gas will make the writing disappear again, and It can be revived a second time.

Then destroy the dry paper upon which the writing baa been done and allow the wet paper to dry by exposing It to the air, but not to the heat of fire or the flame of a lamp. When dry not a trace of the writing will be visible. But on moistening the sheet again with clear water and ' tog It against the light the writing can be read to a clear transparency. It disappears again after drying to the air and may be reproduced by truing a great number of Should the sheets be too much heated, however, the writing will disappear, never to reappear again.—Chicago Bec-erd-Hcrald.
