GOLDEN TEXT'I am the Urln
bread which came down from heaven’’—
John 6:61
Time— According to the common chro-
nology the crossing of the Red 8ea was
about the first of April B C 149L Pro-
fessor Beecher regards this early date as
probably the correct one “near the be-
ginning of the fifteenth century B C”
- Many scholars regard the date as about
1300 B C and some as late as 1200 B C
There Is great uncertainty os to the ex-
act time This lesson belongs about a
month after the last regular lesson
PLACE— The northern part of the Wll-
- ’ derness of Sin a long plain bordering the
Gulf of Sues on the east
Comment and Suggestive Thought '
Six hundred thousand men besides
children and a mixed multitude had
escaped from Egypt and its slavery
crossed the Red sea and were now be-
ginning their journey to Palestine It
' took them 40 years although it could
as easily have been accomplished in
40 weeks - -
- Three routes were possible (1) The
Philistia road the northern road
around the Mediterranean Thia they
avoided because It would lead them
through the warlike tribe of Palestine
(2) The "Way of Shur” directly east
They rejected this because It trav-
ersed the worst of the desert (3)
Therefore ' they were guided to take
" the lower -road running southeasterly
along the eastern shore of the Red
’ sea - '
-V 8 "Would to aod we had died
" i in the land of Egypt” like the first
born of the Egyptians The contrast
as to fertility between the wildernesj
and Egypt was very great ' But they
forgot their 1 sufferings from slavery
there and the wonderful deliverances
from God ' They did not appreciate
their freedom their spiritual training
and privileges and all that would lead
to Jiiher life
Note (1) that they might have been
sure that God would provide them
with food Would he have done such
wonders on the field of-Zoan and at
the Red sea if he meant them to die
In the wilderness? They only needed
to look up to God and on what he had
done to strengthen their faith'’ They
were like Christian in Doubting Cas-
tle who forgot" that he had In his
bosom the key of deliverance -'
“A friend of mine was once wander-
ing in-a thick fog -He could not' see
a step behind or before and his soui
was filled with gloomy thoughts Of
a sudden he looked upward aud lo!
the sky whs visible full of stars He
was walking through a thick fog that
reached only a few feet above his
bead So In all our troubles we have
only to look up and we can see God’s
kindness through them" — Amos - R
Wells
No$ (2) God as only waiting till
they had learned tLeir lesson of faith
They put material comfort before spir-
itual life God’s way was to have
them seek first the character which
would prepare them for their Promised
Land
v7 12 "At even ye shall eat flesh
the flesh of (v 13) quails which came
up" from the Arabian gulf of the Red
sea “across which they fly in the
spring in great numbers and are
often so fatigued after their passage
and fly so low as to become an easy
prey wherever they alight” — Bush "I
have myself found the ground in Al-
geria in the month of April covered
with quails for an extent of many
acres at daybreak where on the pre-
ceding afternoon there had not been
1 one” — Tristram “The quails as ap-
pears by the subsequent narrative
were supplied not regularly but only
on rare occasions In fact (so far as
appears) only here in the wilderness
of Sin aud at Klbroth-Hattaavah in
the wilderness of Paran (Num 11:31
34) '
The gift of the quails came through
natural means like most of their food
and ours All our daily food la the gift
of God however much we say work
for it ourselves It forever points ua
to God and claima our thanks
This kind of miracle we believe our
Father is constantly working for his
children God has made nature like
a vast machine and gone away and
left It He lives In all his works—
the sun rain wind the very birds of
the air and continually useB nature
to bless those who honor him
V 15 “They said one to another
What la it?" R V “Manna la said
to owe its name to this question 'Man
hu?’ 'What la It?’”— Prof McAlister
in Hastings' Bible Dictionary
1 What waa the manna? It was (v
31) “like coriander seed white and
the taste of it waa like wafers made
with hopey” “The taste of It (Num
11:8) waa aB the taBte of fresh oil” It
was ground In mills beaten In mor-
tars seethed in pots and used to make
cakes It fell with the dew In Psa
78:2425 It is called "the corn of
heaven" "the bread of the ’mighty”
and It sustained the Israelites through
much toll but it did not pamper their
senses '

HAPPENED AT BAD
Minister’s Fall Significant In View of
Previous Words
r
In a small church In one of the min-
ing towns of Pennsylvania was a pul-
pit both antique and unique It was
about 'the size and shape of a flour
barrel waa elevated from the floor
about four feet and was fastened to
the wall The ascent was by narrow
winding steps
’ A minister from a neighboring town
a man of great vigor and vehemence
preached there one Sunday While
preaching be bent forward and shout-
ed out with great force the words of
hla text:
"The righteous shall stand but the
wicked shall fall”"
' Just as these words escaped from
his lips the pulpit broke from its
fastening and he fell out and rolled
over on the floor before his congre-
gation In an instant he was on his
feet again and said:
"Brethren I am not hurt and I
don’t mind the fall much but I do
hate the connection”
ELEVEN YEAR8 OF ECZEMA
Hands Cracked and ' Bleeding— Nall
Came Off of Finger— Cuticura Rem-
edies Brought Prompt Relief
‘1 bad eczema on my hands for
abcut eleven years The hands crack
ed open in many places and bled One
of my fingers was so that the nail
came off I had tried so many rem-
edies and they all had failed to cure
I had seen three doctors but got
no relief Finally I got a cake of Cuti-
cura Soap a box of Cuticura Ointment
and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent
Pills Of course I keep Cuticura Soap
all the time for my hands but the one
cako 'of Soap and half a box of Cuti-
cura Ointment cured them ’ I recom-
mend the Cuticura Remedies to all
suffering with eczema Mrs Eliza A:

England’s Debt to France
One of the chief debts to France is
that she nourishes our ideas trans-
forms them makes them her own
Just as she transplanted and trans-
mitted the flower of the Renaissance
In an earlier day With all our na-
tional vanity we never dispute the
parentage It is only territory and
diplomatic prestige and commerce
about which we quarrel with our
"sweet enemy” — London Academy
' "Makes It Go Away”
We simply can’t do without it We
are not going to try 1 When Bobby
stubs his toe it’s “Ma where’s the
Lightning Oil?” When Lizzie burns
her hand or arm it’s ' “Where’s the
Lightning Oil?" When little Dick’s
been playing with a bumble bee it’s
"Where’s the Lightning Oil?” The
echo of all our afflictions is "Where’s
the Lightning Oil?” It’s the balm that
makes the pain go way Sincerely
yours P Cassidy Montevallo Ala

We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a ma-
jority of these precious liveSs Neither do we hesitate to say that many of
infhntilo deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparationss Drops tiuctnir?

they stupefy retard circulation and lead to congestions sickness deaths G&stoxisr
