Canaan, the land towards which the Israelites j were traveling, was peopled by a sturdy race I with whom the Israelites, worn with years of servitude and the strain of journeying, were little fitted to cope. As Moses pondered, Jehovah commanded him to send spies into the territory, choosing a prince from every tribe. Moses made his selection and the royal spies went ahead into the promised land.

At the end of forty days, the spies returned from their investigation, bringing with them huge grape cluster*, pomegranates, figs, and spoils of the countryside, to prove its fruitfulness. They assembled before Moses and Aaron, and all the children of Israel came to hear what they had to report. During this time, the encampment had been stationed at Kadesh, in Paran, awaiting their return.

Hoyt We are told in today's Sunday j School lesson how spies sent by Moses into the land of Canaan , returned to report their findings. Canaan was the land of promise. Jehovah had assured the race that it was to be theirs, and they were pressing on in a desire to attain it. It was a land of plenty —of fruitful fields and heavy ladi en trees, in contrast to the wind | swept desert they traversed. It I was peopled by a_ race who long had lived there. But it was to be the land of the Israelites. Jehovah had promised this. Then came the spies with their report. “We cannot hope to attain it,” they said. And despite the objections of Caleb and Joshua, who would have , pressed on. they were afraid. By this indecision, they lost their , opportunity. Jehovah condemned j them to long years of wandering before they might attain their ] goal. Procrastination is one of the | ! greatest evils of mankind. More often than not. it is caused by indecision. We fear that we cannot attain the end we desire. We fear our own resources! Doubting our ability, we shilly-shally along, finding one excuse or another to condone our negligence. In the end, sometimes we accomplish our desire, but more often, we lose it. Though we fail to realize it, we are punished for our indecision just as were the Israelites when ' they roved the wilderness for forty years. The strong man is one who knows his own mind. He has the power to plan and the will to execute. He attains his end by> direct means and with the cer ’ tainty that comes from confidence’ in his strength. We must be decisive to live a | full and well rounded life. I

The report of the spies was not promising. It was a wonderful lanid, they said, flowing with milk and honey. But it was peopled by a race of tremendous strength and stature. The cities were fortified, and they feared the Israelites ctood no chance in combat. Caleb and Joshua refused to agree with them and urged action. “Let us go up at once," Caleb urged, “for we are well able to overcome them and triumph."

— Sunday School ? QUESTIONS ? THE RETURN OF THE SPIES QUESTIONS 1. How far did the Israelites advance at this stage of their journeying? 2. What was their situation? 3. What did Jehovah command? 4. Who were ineluded in the spies chosen by Moses? 5. What did they do? 6. Tell about their return. 7. What report did they make? 8. Who took issue with the report of the spies? 9. How did the Israelites receive the report? 10. What did Jehovah do to punish them? ANSWERS 1. The Israelites after leaving Mount Sinai continued through i the wilderness of Paran until they came to Kadesh-barnea. 2. They were not fitted to combat with the Canaanites, who were a sturdy race, while Moses’ followers still suffered from years of slavery, were worn with travel, and were not properly trained or equipped for warfare. 3. Jehovah commanded Moses to send forward spies, a prince from each tribe to scout the! country and bring back reports. 4. Included among the spies! were Caleb and Joshua, who was, to succeed Moses as a leader of the people. 5. The spies went into Danaan, where they remained for forty days. During that time, they scouted both the north and the south, and when they returned, they brought with them fruits and vegetables, to prove the fertility of the country. 6. The Israelites remained encamped at Kadesh until the spies returned. Then they gathered together while the venturers reported to Moses and Aaron of what they had seen. 7. The spies reported that they could not comliat the Canaanites with any hope of victory. They were a race of giants, they said, with fortified cities and great armies. They advised against attempting to occupy the country. 8. Caleb, hacked by Joshua, took exception to this report. He urged that the Israelites invade the country and take it for their own. 9. The Israelites accepted the report of the cowardly spies Some urged that Moses be deposed and a new leader appointed.

But Caleb and Joshua pleaded in vain. The Israelites were afraid. Their confidence In Jehovah’s promise was wavering. Some urged that another leader be chosen to succeed Mose* .and others that they give up the attempt and return to their Egyptian bondage. Jehovah now threatened to destroy them all, but Mose* again interceded. Prayer* prevailed but Jehovah doomed them to the wilderness for forty years.

Others declared the attempt should be abandoned and that they should return to the safety of I Egyptian slavery. io. So angered was Jehovah with the action of the Israelites that he decreed they must wander through the wilderness for forty years before they could hope to enter the promised land. 0 M. E. Church B.
