TAKING POSSESSION OF CANAAN LESSON TEXT - Jo»hu* 14:*-14; Judge* 1 20. 21. GOLDEN TEXT—Thou hast wholly followed the Lord —Joshua 14:9. Companions in battle usually means friends and comrades for life. Joshua, of whom we studied last week, had such a friend in Caleb. Together they had faced the crises of life. Caleb is one of the characters about whom the Bible does not say much, but in every case the word is one revealing high and noble character. Consider such passages as Numbers 13:9, 30; 14: TA. M. 30; 26 85, as well as our lesson tor today. The background for our study is the story of Caleb's courageous stand with Joshua when the spies returned from their visit to Canaan, which is related in Numbers 13. Note first of all Caleb's I. Perfect Obedience (Josh. 14: M). •*I wholly followed the Lord my God." Such a testimony from a man like Caleb is no idle boast, no effort to parade hia faith and piety before others In saying it be was repeating what God and Moses had both said about him. In his heart he knew it to be true. ft is God's will for each of His children that they should come to such • place of simple trust and complete obedience that In every circunftlance of life they need know only one thing—God's wilL and then in faith to go and do it. It is a life beautiful in Its transparent simplicity and powerful in the strength of God Himself. IL Promised Inheritance (v. B). ‘Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance " Such was the promise of God through Mose*. Forty-five lung year* had elapsed, but down through this period of wilderness wanderings and the conflict tn subduing Canr.an the promise had lived in Caleb's heart. He knew it would be fulfilled and he waited serenely for God's time. Such also are the promise* of God which keep the heart tinging in our hour* of trial and sorrow, which light up the dark ways, which strengthen the heart of Hi* children. I-earn God's promise*, cherish them in your heart, expect God to fulfill them. 111. Preserved Strength (w. 10, 11). "The Lord hath kept me alive ~. and Tam... strong." Here was a man kept of God, in full vigor in his eighty-fifth year, "like a rock in a changeful tea. like a snowcapped peak in a change of cloud end storm and sun” (Meyer). No doubt there was here what our forefathers liked to call "the longevity of the antediluvians"; but even apart from that, let us recoguue that life and strength come from God. and that (hose who walk with God tn holy living may count on Him for the renewed strength of Psalm 103:5. An incidental but extramely important lesson we should learn is that God ha* no age deadline. The church has frequently sinned against Him and against His faithful servants by "shelving them" for younger men. when they would have brought blessing if the church had encouraged and used them. The writer of these lines Is a young man. but he would speck here a word of loving admonition regarding hi* honored brethren who have gone on before to bear the brunt of th* battle. IV. Powerful Aaaerance <w. ISIS; Judg. 1:20 21). "If ... the Lord will be with me. then I Shall be able." Caleb asked for no easy task. He was ready to go up against th* giants of Hebron Head Deuteronomy 3:11, and you will fled that there were men in those days who needed thirteen-foot beds. But Caleb was not afraid. He counted not on hi* own strength, but on the power of God. It Is MgnMcant that, while the other sections of Canaan were only partially conquered. Caleb brought hi* formidable adversaria* entirely under control, *o that the land had rest from war" tv. 15;. The verses in Judges I Indicate that Caleb was as good a* Ms word He we* a doughty God-fearing S3-year-old His faith is here rnntraetad with the shameful unheNef and failure of Isr*«i. The spiritual application to our day is evident mm) appropriate There ere giant* in the land. Carrupttee — secial and Mtetdwl — raises Its brazen head Drunks* nes* and vic* leer at u* with tae impudent suggestion that we cannot control them There are giant* "within us — greed, selfishness, love of ease, lust. I passion, rrualty" 'Blaikie). Are wa to do nothing about them? It we are ta meet them in th* strength of the flesh. *e might *1 in the e Caleb—fit some k

Fall Salad Crops are Finest of theYear_ SALADS. LETTUCE. AND CELERY CABBAGE.

Many vegetable* difficult for the Victory gardener to grow in the spring, are easy in the fall. In 1 some cates this 1* because of : nature’* provision that in the fall they do not go to seed. Chinese cabbage will make fine tight heads: cauliflower and spinach >ll develop with no tendency toward bolting; and lettuce will reI main sweet and tender until killing I frosts come. With ell these, in the ! spring it is a race to mature the crop before hot weather develops seed stalk*; but nature doc* not w.mt »<-eds in the fall, so the hsrvc«t season is prolonged. Some vegetables are given a superior flavor by light frost; collards, kale, and endive among Diem. B-ussels sprout*, the favorite British vegetable, is exclusively a fall crop in this country, and will thaw out after a hard freeze and remain edible. Late cabbage usual-1 ly doe* better than earl; : kohlrabi and turnips have a much longer harvest svascu. |

Both in midsummer, when the fail crop* are getting a *tart, and in the cod weather of the autumn, growth will be slower. So do not wait too long to get them started. Maturity dates given in seed catalogue* are intended for fast spring growth; and in calculating fall growth should be lengthened appreciably. The reason short-seastm vegetablo* seldom go to seed In the fall is believed to be related to the sunlight ’ Instead of lengthening dayr and warmer weather as the crop matures. the days grow shorter and cooler. Either the temperature or the duration of daylight gives plants the signal to go to seed in the summer time and in the fall this signal is not received. So head lettuc* goes on heading and Chinese cabi bag* makes big. cylindrical head* ,ot tender crispness, and we enjoy the finest salad of the yea* until | killing frost* arrive.

Stuckey charged that Beamer received fuil-time from the state a* a commission member but that he divided hie time with private law practice, leaving Stuckey with the responsibility of the commission * administration.
