Miracle March Os Faith From Africa Into Asia Epochal Crossing Os The Red Sea By The Israelites Is History’s Outstanding Drama Os Divine Providence — Does The Almighty Still Lead Nations And Individuals?

B WILLIAM T. ELLIS On all of the earth's surface I there are only two inter-continental land bridges, With now cut by canals—the Isthmus of Suez and the Isthmus of Panama. It was at the former that the high drama of the Exodue, the deliverance of the 'lsraelites from Egyptian (bondage, : took place. There, amidst niiraculi ous Providences, the Hebrew custodians of the revelation of Jelw.wah, marched out of Africa into Asia. Throughout all of the ages since, this high event has been commemorated by the Jews cf the world. Now the story flashes again a- . cross many rni'K uis of printed pages to reaffirm the awesome truth jthat the Supreme Being is still the (Guide and Guardian of the peoples who profess His name. There Is no profounder truth for present consideration than the proposition that G*xi continues to care for man. This is not a runaway I world, despite present appearances, j The strife and commotion among 'nations; the ominous social unrest in masses of people; the new bitterness and »inflict in the industrial realm—all these seem signs that God has abandoned humanity to the expression of its own worst pasl sions. it is not easy for faith to perceive, in the midst of struggle and ■ clamor, that God's plans are all long p’ane. and that He is steadily working His purjMieee out.

’ Thrice blest is he to whom is given The instinct that can tell That God is on the battlefield, When ha is most invisible.” A Long Look Backward Like us. the suddenly emancipated Hebrews were engrossed in the ■present moment They had no coni sciousncss of the long sweep of hist/gy. Their four centuries of preparation and discipline in Egypt were neither remembered nor un- : derstood. It used to be the fashion, on national anniversaries, for ministers to preach upon “The Hand of God in Our History.” For both reUg; os leaders and political states- ■ men have clearly perceived and set I forth the singular interventions of I Providence in the affairs of the Nation. Despite our day’s panic, that Providence, whom we call our father s God, still reigns and rules.

who opened a path through the Red Sea for the Israelites, and guided them by the pillar of tiro and cloud, continues to govern the affairs of men. < Moses best understood the long thoughts of God. He was not forgetful of the 'past. So he kept the inJuncti .n that Joseph had laid upon i his family, many generations be-1 fore, that his bonee ehould (be car- i ried up out of Egypt, and buried in the Land of Promise. Statesman, Joseph had foreseen the Exodus.' He was only a dim figure in the ’ distant past to theee fleeing Jews; i but he symbolized God’s providence. 1 A World War Story One of the curious stories that I i heard, on good authority, in Palestine during the world war was thai I eome Ara be had dug up a grave near Shechem, as they are continu-. ally doing all over the East, and . had unearthed a body mummified in Egyptian style. It was in an elab-1 orate tomb, evidently of a man of i rank, and the body bore shoulder . ornaments of gold, and a gold trun-1 cheon, and had °n its breast a plate I of gold, inscribed in Egyptian characters. The Arabe melted this, so | the name and history the mummy will never be surely known The , other ornaments of old were taken to Jerusalem, and sold to German officers, and are now in a private Berlin museum. The conjecture of exiperts is that thto was probably the tom>b of Joseph that the vandals rifled.

This find was made near to the traditional grave of Joseph, which both Moslems and Jews venerated Though the actual mummy of the greatest of the sons of Jacob may thus have been destroyed, the great idea for which his entombment in Canaan stands is still vocal. Any people worth while will remember their past. They will not forget the forefathers who made them what has been the st stabilizing force they are. Reverence, for ancestors in the life of China, the oldest of nations. To honor our father's is : to recall our fathers’ God. We think • here of the prominent place that ■ the patriarchs held in the memory and literature and rel-igion of the Hebrews. V.-ises was teaching a great truth when he carried the bones of Joseph out of Egypt. Pharaoh’s Second Thought (Hitherto we have considered the Hebrew side of the story of the br.ndage in and deliverance from . Egypt. But there to the other side; ■ and we should try to get the Egyptian ipoint of view. While in a panlie over the slaying of their first ' born, Pharaoh and his people urged I the Israelites to depart- Once gone, they realized the gap made in all. I their life by the absence of these

servants. The economic lose was i staggering. The wto’Me life of Egypt i tiad come to depend upon these i skillful Hebrew 'bondservants. So Pharaoh changed his mind, and *®nt hie army, post baste, to bring them back. At the sight of these bannered hosts, on their rear the Israelites set up a clamour of fear. With the characteristic human instinct to blame somebody, they turned up cm Moses with reproaches. They were not a heroic lot, those freed slaves. They clamored for bondage, with safety, rather than liberty, with danger and hardship. Their cry echoes today In many parte of the world. Already Moses had become inured to ingratitude and m-Isunder standing, which is everywhere and always the lot of the great leader. &■’. with infinite patience he heart ed them, and premised another eviI dence of Jehovah’s providence. By j faith he could cry, “Fear ye not. stand still, and see the salvation of ( Jehovah, wh-'.ch He will work for ■you today; for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see ; them again no more for ever. Jehovah will fight for you, and ye shall | hold your peace.” He repeated the Divine “Go Forward!” How often Moses had to fulfill !the role /'f heartener and inspirer; which to a first duty of every man and woman in tven the smallest i post of leadership. What followed is one of the famI il'.ar stories of the world’s literali ure. The Red Sea became dry land ! before the feet of the Israelites — i and returned to engulf Pharaoh’e army. Again “with a high hand," Je--1 hovah had brought deliverance to j His people.
