GOD ENCOURAGES A LEADER

Text: Exodus 3:

3-16; 4:10-16; 5:1

By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of Advance

HE lesson of today only enforces what we have already considered concerning God's ~ encouragement of Moses and his strengthening of a leader who felt his own weakness and inadequacy. We are told, sometimes, that the God of these ancient Israelites was a tribal God. and that they had nog found the glorious conception that arose in later Israel and in New Testament times, of a God of the whole earth. But it is something more than such a limited concepiion that one finds in the representation of God as speaking to Moses. When Moses asks his name and how he shall know and tell his people of the divine reality, the reply is that he is to say, "I AM hath sent me unto you.” “I AM THAT I AM”’—what a noble conception that is, conveying so magnificently the emphasis upon the living presence of God! This God of the Fathers is an everlasting God, a covenant making and a covenant keeping God in whom men of devotion and faith can find security and strength.

OSES 1s still concerned about his lack of qualification as a leader. He is conscious that he is not eloquent. He is slow of speech and of tongue. Here again though, lack of eloquence is not be despised. How many great and rea. leaders have been feeble in speech! This was one of the complaints against Paul, whom we have compared to Moses, that his presence was weak, and that he lacked the gift of speech, of Apollos, and others. But one can think of many men small in .stature and unimpressive in presence and speech who have,

ne a

ments, and who have accomplished almost incredible things simply because faith and determination have driven them, and they have become the medium of a greater power than themselves.” The Lord rebuked Moses bhecause of his Jack of faith in himself. “Who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh a man dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind?” Cannot God, in His power, give words to men who lack eloquence?

Nevertheless, Moses found a mouthpiece in Aaron, his brother, who was evidently a man of words as Moses was a man of action. = ”n »

HUS equipped, with a new in-| ner strength with the support! of the eloquent Aaron, Moses goes down to his task to face Pharaoh in the name of the God of Israel, and to say, “Let my people go, that they may ho'd a feast unto me in the wilderness.” It was not to be as easy a task as Moses might have supposed. God's will is for the deliverance and safety of his children, but there are problems of human freedom and destiny that man has to work out in co-operation with God, and the divine power does not work miracles where men themselves fail. The way that was before Moses was to test alike his faith, his courage, and his strength. The call of a man to a great task is only the first incident in | his destiny. The real time of testing comes not in his acceptance of the call, but in the power of faith and will with which he holds to his task, day after day, no matter what the discouragements and no matter what the dangers. . Moses became a great leader not merely. through his call, but by the strength of th and his un-

PASTOR AWAITS MURDER ACTION

Waive Hearing in Woman’s | Death but Asks Broom To Tidy Cell.

By United Press PITTSFIELD, Ill, July 17.—The Rev, C, E. Newton waited patiently today for Pike County authorities | to “do something” about his con- | fession to the slaying of his 45- |

year-old parishioner and good | friend, Mrs. Dennis Kelly.

First indicated action was sum-=-moning of a grand jury. State's Attorney Merrill Johnston said he would confer today with Circuit Judge A. Clay Williams on possi=bility of recalling the April jury. Newton, 51-year-old Baptist minister, remained in jail without bond or protest. All he asked was permission to wash his only shirt in the washbowl of the cell, and a broom to “tidy up.” “I dislike disorder,” he explained. Arraignment Waived

The pastor interrupted his washing yesterday to. suggest to Police Magistrate T. E. Aldrich that there was no necessity for calling a formal court. He waived arraignment and asked for a broom. Mr. Aldrich, thumbs hooked in suspenders, smiled and informed the pastor he was to be held without bond until the grand jury acted. Then he called for Newton's broom. Mr. Johnson, in his office, said the | pastor indicated to him he would

plead guilty to a grand jury indict- | ment,
