n Comments H on 5.3, ,arva I, Lesson Creamed Comments on the Sunday School lesson, God delivers his people. Exodus 11:1: 12:23-28; 14:27-31, for Sunday. April 27. After the Lord’s commission of Moses to deliver the Israelites, there followed a number of interviews between Moses and Pharaoh when Moses implored Pharaoh to let his people go and he met with persistent refusal. This lesson deals with the punishment dealt the Egyptians in a series of plagues and the final deliverance of the Isralites, showing how God sometimes expresses his will through catas-1 trophic events which become incentives to faith. V. 1. a And the Lord said unto .Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence; when he shall let you go, ‘hence alttogether,” There had already been nine plagues dealt upton the Egyptians because of Paraoh’s refusal to let the Israelites leave the country, The plagues served both to oppress the oppressor and to arouse, and. strengthen the faith of the Israelites in the one true. God V. 23. “For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come unto your houses to smite you." The last plague was by far the most serve in the death of the first-born of every Egyptian home and the passing over of Batteries - Cords - Etc. Holthouse Drug Co. SPRUNGER IMPLEMENT CO.

a*——Jhi i iin i" ■ i '■ l homeso f the Israelites. Thus was instituted a sacred observance among the Jews known as the Passover. Vs. 24, 25. “And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever. .. And it shall come to pass, t when ye be come to the land which the Lord will give you. according as I heh ath promised, that yes hall keep this service.” The annual < commemoration of the Passover 1 was to be a reminder to the Is- 1 raelites of God s deliverance.
