Once freed from the threat of the Egyptians, the Israelites plunged into the wilderness following Moses and Aaron. For nearly two months they traveled in this fashion, but the tribulations of desert travel became too much for them. Food was difficult to secure. Water must be sought.

Then it was that Moses received a message from Jehovah. "Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you,” Jehovah declared. "The people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law or not. And on the sixth day will be twice as much as they gather daily.” This, of course, was that they might prepare food against the Sabbath.

Hoyt When the children of Israel set forth on their forty years of jour- i neying through the desert, they | found themselves in charge of ( a leader supreme in his faith in . Jehovah. Moses had learned the strength that comes through a ’ knowledge of the true God; and with that strength came an abid-l ing faith. It was not until they came into a wilderness, appropriately enough named Sin. that the Israelites commenced to falter. They had reason to fear. The way was long and toilsome. Many had sickened and died. Water was scarce. Food was hard to find. The boiling sun beat down on them by day. am? by night, the hot breath of the desert caused them to toss fitfully. “Oh. for the fleshpots of Egypt” they cried. “We have been brought to a certain death. We might have been in slavery under Pharaoh, but at least, our wants j were satisfied and we died in our homes.” So it is today, as it was in the days of the exodus. We find those of little faith content to accept that which is given them, so long, as their material wants are satis-, fled. Following the course of i least resistance, they lose the strength of character that comes from following a single purpose. They are content to indulge in the fleshpots and to take that which is given without question and without price. It is for each of us to beware the fleshpots of modern civiliza- 1 tion by holding straight forwardly to a single purpose in life and Hv adhering closely to the Golden Rule—by such motives are we destined to reach our goal in I triumph.

When evening drew over the camp, the sky became darkened with a flight of quail, bound northward from the warmer regions of the south. As darkness fell, the flocks settled down to rest. The Israelites ventured forth, killing the birds for food. Some they slew with clubs. Others they were enabled to grasp with their hands. Thus fresh fowl was given them. But a greater miracle awaited the coming of morn.

How long did the Israelites proceed into the wilderness before they began to suffer? 3. What occurred when they met with privations? 4. What message did Moses receive at this time? 5. What stipulation did Jehovah make regarding this miracle? 6. What happened on the evening of this day? 7. What miracle occurred with the coming of day? 8. Describe manna? 9. How did the Israelites prepare it? 10. How long were they sustained by manna? ANSWERS I 1. The incidents of today’s lesson occurred near the middle of May 1498 8.C., in the wilderness; of Sin. east of the Red Sea, on; the wav to Sinai. 2. When the Egyptians had: vanished in the depths of the Red ; Sea. tlie Israelites proceeded on j their way. For two months they [ traversed the wilderness until l the scarcity of food and water weighed heavily upon them. 3. When they commenced to j suffer for lack of food and water., 1 the Israelites complained that i they could have lived and died in 1 i Egypt, comfortable and well fed.; ! and that now they were lining led j into the wilderness to starve to; : death. 4. Jehovah gave the messagej !to Moses that he would rain; manna, or bread, from heaven i sufficient to keep them from starvation. 5. Each day, Jehovah stipulat-i ed, the ground would be covered' wiih manna, sufficient to feed tliei people for that space of time. But I on the sixth day. they must gather | i a two day's supply, since no work might be done on the Sabbath. ; 6. On the evening of this day, ■ the sky was darkened by flocks of j quail, flying northward across the | land. When the birds settled j down, the Israelites fell upon them and killed them with clnbe. giving them sufficient fresh fowl to appease their hunger. 7. When morning came, the Israelites found the ground about the camp covered with manna. j They gathered it, as Jehovah had : commanded, and found it suffiI cient for their needs. 8. Manna is described as re- | sembling hoar frost, white like I coriander seeds, and with a taste : like wafers made of honey. j 9. Manna was gathered by the Israelites and ground into flour, which was made into cakes. i Again it was boiled in pots and ; served in this fashion. Three ! quarts was allotted for each mem- , ber of the family. ! 10. For forty years this supply lof manna was furnished daily. It , ceased when the Israelites eni camped at Gilgal. immediately after they celebrated the Passover ! in the land of promise for the first time. Church of God Sunday School 9:30 A. M.

When the morning dew had been dispelled, the Israelites found that the ground about the camp was covered with small globules somewhat resembling hoarfrost. This was manna. Gathering it. they ground it to a flour for cakes, or boiled it in pots, and in.this way they were enabled to live well. So Jehovah kept his promise to Moses and for the forty years of their wanderings fed the Israelites.

Koiner. agricultural commissioner of Virginia, estimated at least 1.000 new Virginia farmers "particularly near cities.” “However,” Koiner said, "The movement of young people to the country is considerably more—the city jobless are going back to the homes of relatives." In North Carolina. Gov. O. Max Gardner reported the trend thus far farmward was “negligible," but said he expected “a very definite movement next year." The North Carolina American Legion alone has placed more than 1.000 on farms. Frank O. Black, federal agricultural statistician for South Carolina. said ‘The back-to-the-farm' movement lias been general but relatively grehter around industrial centers. This is due to the serious condition of the texti'e industry in those centers. - ’ Georgia, through its unique "forward Georgia” movement, has taken definite steps to finance men going back to die farm. A subcommittee under chairmanship of Roy Craw of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, is raising $150,000 for this purpose. Nathan Mayok, agrivnliur 1 com-

missloner of Florida, reported “no exodus from the city to the country." but said the desire was there, the money lacking.” F. W. Gist, federal and state agricultural statistician. Alabama, reported 9,000 new farmers in 1931, with 3.000 farms being abandoned, a net gain of 6.000 at least. There/ , was a strong ’quit the farm’ movement from 1917 up until late 1931, when the trend changed. Gist said. Kentucky, which in the last quarter-century saw the rise of its coal industry with the attendant quit the farm’ movement, reports 7.000 families returning to the farm I in 26 mountain counties in the last qtwo years. i “Many returning families have rett’ed on unproductive land and many are poorly equipped to make a living from the soil; county agents and local relief agencies are receiving many calls for assist- ' rance.” Eugene Flowers, Kentucky commissioner of agriculture, reported. An increase of 34,435 farms in . tile five-year period from 1925 to , 1930 was reported in Mississippi . by Commissioner J. C. Holton. Cotton acreage has been reduced. "Whether the age-old urge of the soil is the chosen way out of the depression is not for ns to say," Holton told the United Press. "Certainly city people and factory workers throughout America are yearning for the freedom and liberties of the country along with the well--11 led pantries and' smokehouses ! that go with it."
