Food Problem And Relief Arose In Ancient Sinai Manna And Quails For The Hungry Israelites Personal Experiences In The Desert; And Modern Light On An Old Story.

B WILLIAM T. ELLIS 11 1 Hunger and food have been 1 j thrust up frotn the masses of men i into the consciousness of politicians and economists. All other prob- * lems of statecraft and of life have 11 been subordinated to this one of providing bread for the needy. 11 What was ten years ago only each >' I man's individual concern was sud- 1 denly turned, by the depression, 1 into the government's business f To the glory of our Christian civill- 11 zatlon let it be recorded that in I the United States and Canada no- ? ' body starved, even during the dir- < est days of need. In China and v ' Russia, myriads died from lack of v food, during this same period. Perhaps it is desirable that we e should confront the burden and > 1 ' problem of millions and billions of a public money spent for relief in or- e der to make us realize how depend- o ent the on going of organized life - lis upon the effort of the individual, v I saw this first in the great Chin ] eese famine of 1906-07. Even a the wealth of a Rockefeller could n not long have sustained the hungry f millions. No government could s stand the strain of supporting its people. The little labors of unconsidered individuals alone can pro- tl vide sustenance for all. 1 So it is a timely and acute ques- f . tion—as well as the oldest in the v world—that is raised by this les- c I son upon the feeding of the Isra- v lites in the Desert of Sinai. The a freed Hebrew slaves had been mir- c aculously delivered from Pharaoh’s d army, which had perished in the Red Sea. They had proceeded. a i' distance into the wilderness, with t many munnurings. Then the sup- i c plies of food which they had I . brought from Egypt began to give! s ■ out. Their reproaches of Moses ’ r Increased. The Arabs At The Gate ! f I know Sinai, and the impossibil- a ity of feeding any large population , t from the sandy, flinty desert. Wat-ja |er supplies are scant, and far a spaced. The monks in the Mon- s astery of St. Katherines, on Mount' c Sanai, have their food supplies, b brought In fr- m Egypt. They, in turn, give a daily ration j a of bread to a small tribe of retain-1 it er Arabs. Each morning the Arab j i women come and hunger outside a j the monastery gate, where small.; r unleavened loaves, literally as a hard as rock, are doled out to I them. It Is a bitter alms, and nev- [ er accompanied by spiritual ' for in the long centuries of the; i monastery's existence it has made i no converts to Christianity from 5 among the Arabs. Far different was the provision ■ * made by God for the hungry Israel-1' ites. The food He provided was * sweet, as well as sustaining. But, * the people had to contribute the, •

POKAGON STATE PARK ON SHORES OF LAKE JAMES 1 t

Lake Janies, third largest of the Indiana lakes, forms the setting for Pokagon State Park and is the J scene f outdoor recreation and enjoyment throughout the year. This park, located on Road 27, north of, Angola in Steuben county, was ee-1 tajliahed in 1935 and covers 937, acres in the rolling lake country Lakes Janies and the connecting I Snow Lake which herders another 'section of the park are noted among ; anglers for the quality and variety ; of their fishing. The lakes are ideal 'for boating and have a number of attractive beaches, two of which aie located in the park.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1937.

— — I labor of gathering and preparing it. And it was on a day-by-day basis. So the Lord's Prayer runs "Give us this day our dally bread" —or as a revised version renders it, “Give us day by day our daily bread." A large part of the world's woe is due to anxiety about bread for I years hence. Rich men build up I trusts to insure prosperity for I their families to the third and fourth generation— although legislation seems to trend toward breaking up this practice. Every generation should toll for its own bread, and every person. Otherwise, a class of parasites is developed. Our whole new mood of social justice looks toward the equalization of labor and rewards. | The Northern Baptist convention.! at its recent Philadelphia session. l even went so far as to advocate, officially, the limitation of income —somewhat after the fashion in which the supply of manna was limited to each person's needs. All attempts at cornering the manna market failed in Sinai. The worms got the surplus that shrewd persons tried to pile up. What Was Manna? After Jehovah's promise to heed the pleas of the hungry Hebrews —and not before—the ground was found covered every morning by white, sweet flakes, the size of a • coriander seed. This each family was bidden to gather for itself, and prepare as food in a variety of ways. It proved a satisfactory diet for forty years. All sorts of naturalistics theories have been advanced to explain the supply of manna - and every one of them is more difficult to I believe than the great miracle itsself. Commonest is the theory that manna was a sweetish sap exuding from the tamarisk tree, and falling to the ground. The monks at Sinai were evidently touched by this notion; for they gave me a small tine of this “manna." Actually. of course, for any adequate i supply of tamarisk juice, the whole of the desert Sinai would need to have been covered with the trees. —and then it would not have been a desert. In simple truth, there is not enough to this sap produced in all Sinai to keep one family alive. No; we must accept the mysterious manna for what it was, a special intervention of Divine Providence. When the Hebrews clamored for meat. God did not need to work a miracle. Seasonally, to this day. millions of quail fly across the | Mediterranean from eastern Europe to the Sinai Peninsula, and ♦ * » The Sunday School Lesson * * for August 8 is "God Feeds A * . * People.'—Exodus 16:1 —17:7. *

well in advance. The park area is threaded by a ( network of hiking trails. Some of these wind along the lake, others I lead through thickly wooded sec-1 tions and etill others go up anil j ■ down hill to combine variety with the study of plant and bird life. A 1 I nature guide is stationed here dur-! I ing the summer m. -nths for the asi distance of visitors interested in | ■ botany and natural history. i Brid'e paths also lead to the; ' many points of scenic beauty and ' riding is one of the most popular ■ forms of recreation for visiters. | Outdoor corrals hold deer, elk and I buffalo —reminders of the 'big game I once found throughout this part of j Indiana. Bordering the lake store, in wooded sections, are the picnic and camping areas t -* !r ter bouses, cooking ovens, comfort

are gathered by the Arabs in nets L or killed with sticks. Major Jarvis, in his readable new book. “Yesterday and Today in Sinai,” tells in | fullness and detail of the present practice. He says that most of the quail served in Europe’s restaurants are thus supplied from Egypt. So the Children of Israel were given meat to eat until they were surfeited with it. ( The Great Provider It was poor material with which , God was working to create a new ( nation that should be His chosen ( messengers and interpreters to the world. Childish, fretful, com- ] plaining, more careful for the moment's need than for the ultimate good, the Children of Israel had to be cared for as by a nursing father. The story is alike one of a ' patient God and an impatient people. Over this whole Lesson story is written large the legend, “The Lord will provide." All the pro- i cesses of production and distribution of food are but expressions of His bounty. As Dr. Maltbie D. Babcock wrote: “Back of the loaf is the snowy flour, Back of the flower the mill; I Back of the mill is the wheat and the shower, ' The sun, and our Father's Will." SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS A good moral character is the finest essential in a man.—George. Washington. Good and bad luck is but a synonym. in the great majority of in--1 stances, for good and bad judgment. —Chatfield. He drew a circle that shut me out — Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout. But Love and I had the wit to win; We drew a circle that took him in. —Edwin Machhon. The best and most important part of every man's education is that which he gives himself. —Gibbson. He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.—Prov. 16:32. Though Christ a thousand times in Bethlehem be born, If He’s not born in thee, thy soul is still forlorn. —Johann Schefflier. No man's spirits were ever hurt by doing his duty; on the contrary, one good action, one temptation i resisted and overcome, one sacrifice of desire or interest purely, for conscience s sake will prove a cordial for weak and low spirits, far beyond what either indulgence or diversion can do for them. — Paley. o : Prison Has No Locks Brisbane — (UP) — In the bus!)

Camp Pokai-n, a summer camp I for boys, is located in one of the j wooded sections of the park over- ■ looking the lakeBoth the name of the park and I the inn are reminescent of the Ind iian tribes which *nce occupied and loved this area. The Potawatomi 1 tribes held sway over many thousand acres in Indiana, Michigan, ! Ohio and Illinois. The park was named for Pokagon. one of the fafous chiefs of the tribe. Tradition ! tells that Pokayvn transferred to ■the government, by treaty, approxii mately a million acres of land which included the present, site of ! Chicago. Arrowheads and other relics of j the Potawatomi are still found in 1 the park and surrounding area.

He bad trouble understanding English, his fellow pupils had difficulty understanding him, and they had difficulty becoming accustomed to each other. The first six months In school were slow ones for Emanuel, but gradually he became more proficient in English and began to play with the younger children and at the same time to advance brilliantly in his work. When he graduated from high school. Emanuel had an average of 87. He is working on a plan whereby he will be able to enter the University of Mississippi, and later will start studying medicine. Asked his opinion of America as I compared to his native Isle of i Patmo, he replied: “It is much more comfortable here, and the people are very friendly." He said the people of Greece regard America as Utopia, a land where everyone has plenty of money. o Husband Asks Alimony ' SAN FRANCISCO, (U.R) — The worm has turned.
