R Y 0 Wl it PR T Y ./ THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. *~~ ternational Lesson for August 4, 1895 . =The Report of the Spies—~Numbers 131 |Specially arranged from Peloubet's:notes.] . GDLDEN TEXT—The Lord is with us; fear theiz not.—Num. 14: 9. 1E SECTION includes Numbers 13 and 14, and the Parallel Account in Deuteronomy 1t 1, &é; also Hebrews 3: 7-19; 4: 1-8. | ~ TiME—July-August, B. C. 1490, the time of thqﬁrst ripe grapes (v. 20), when the spies were sent out. They were gone forty days. 'i PLACE —At this time the Israelites were enoazped at Kadesh Barnea, just south of the southern border of Palestine. The place is now called Ain Qadees, *‘the holy well.” bl LESSON NOTES. -: Everything was nowready for taking possession of their new home, provided the people had the necessary faith and courage. Accordingly, as we learn from his own account in Deuteronomy (1:20-21), Moses' cammanded them in the name of Jehovah to go up and take possession of the land. The whole people (Deut. 1: 22) asked Moses to first send out spies to investigate., This was wise under the cir' cumstances, that Is, the next wisest thing to going forward; trusting in God, and therefore pleased Moses (Deut. 1:23), and it was so directed by God (Num. 18: 12). Accordingly, Moses selected twelve leading men best fitted fo% the service. tGet ye up this way southward:™ Bétter as in R. v., by the south, not referring at all to the direction from the Istaelites’ camp, but to a well-defined tract of territory forming the southernmost and least fertile portion of the land of Canaan. It was called “The Negeb” or The South Country, literally, ‘‘the dryness.” “Into the mountain,” the mountainous region. 19. ‘“Whether in tents (i. e., open villages and camps), or in strongholds:™ walled cities and strongholds. 20. “The time of the first ripe grapes:” In Palestine this occurs in July and August. The spies went the whole length of the land, to the base of the Lebanon mountaias (v. 21).

23. ‘“‘And they came,” on their return, ‘““‘anto the brook Eshcol,” the rich valley immediately to the mnorth of Hebron; described by Robinson as producing the largest and best grapes in all Palestine, besides pomegranates, figs, apricots, quinces and other fruits in abundance.—Cook. ‘‘One cluster of grapes, and . . . bare it between two upon a staff:¥ Single clusters are mentioned weighing ten or twelve pounds. The arrangement referred toin the text probably made, not because the ::fgisght was too great for one person to carry, but in order to prevent the grapes from being crushed.—Ellicott.

124, ‘“‘Called the brook Eshcol:” thatis, alcluster, a bunch. 125, “And they returned:” The Egyptian records show that there was then frequent communication between Egypt and Syria. This enables us to understand how it was possible for twelve Hebrews to spy out the land wiithout interruption. They had simply to assume the character of Egyptians, from which country they had lately come.—Land and Book. i 26. “And shewed them the fruit of tt?; land:” as- visible proof of its fertility. co /27. “Floweth with milk and honey:” a/poetic expression of the luxuriance and richness of its productions. 28. “Nevertheless the people be strong:” They were large, active and trained to war.. ‘“We saw the children of Anak there:” In verse 83 they are called giants, in whose presence the spies seemed like grasshoppers.

1 29. ““Amalekites:” who dwelt on the borders of the ‘‘south country,” and who had already attacked them once (Ex. 17: 8-16). These were the first cnemies to be overcome. ‘The Hittites:” a great warlike nation, whose remains have lately been discovered. ‘The Jebusites:” These held the region round about Jerusalem. They were the most formidable of all the native population.—Bush. They held the citadel of Jerusalem even till the time aof David.. ‘“The Amorites:” mountaineers. ‘‘Canaanites:” lowlanders. “Coast:” borders. ' 80. “*‘And Caleb,” with ' Joshua (14: 6), ‘stilled the people,” who grew restless and excited as the difficulties in the way were presented, enforced by the assurance of the other ten spies that they coulé not take possession of the land. “Let us;goupatonce . . . for we are well able to overcome it,” ‘“‘for the Lord is with us.” . 81. The other ten said: ‘““We be not able t 6! go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” But God was stronger than their enemies. " 82. ‘“A land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof:” Either (1) a land of scarcity, unable to support its inhabits; or (2) an unhealthy land, where the people are consumed by pestilence, or (8) full of strife, and discord, and war among the tribes contending for supremacy within it. .

| 88. “Giants, and we were in their sight as grasshoppers:” so greatly did their faithless fears distort the facts. - The reésult was that the people refused to go and take possession of their land. The ten spies were smitten with the plague and died. Every person over twenty years of age must die before the nation could enter Canaan, and the people must endure a fortyyears’ discipline in the wilderness. Only the two faithful spies, of all the ipeople, should se¢ the land of promise and realize their long cherished hopes. A few days later, ashamed of their icowardice, stung by their punishment Kgr it, they determined to go up and nquer the Canaznites, contrary to iGod’s command, and without his presence they suffered a disgraceful defeat.

' MAKING. MORE WORK. A'False Idea and False Promises—Foeling | L e The inconsistencies, absurdities and delusions which make up the great doctrine of high taxation and restrieted trade, wounld never have been able to secure a footing among the people were it not for the belief that in some way or other protection makes more work. It is this idea which has given strength to the ridiculous claims of the high tariffites, and which is still the main support of the protective policy among unthinking people. Forced tc admit that protection restricts commerce, increases prices, fosters monopolies and puts an intolerable burden of taxation on the masses, the defenders. of the system meet all demands for its speedy abolition with the claim that ‘‘protection makes more work.” And as there is in all countries at the present time an apparent scarcity of work, the men who are unemployed, or wha fear that thelr places may be filled by some of those who are idle, go on voting for a policy which pretends; to make more \vork.k/ : : Now it ig true that in one sense pro tection does make more work. Just as smashing windows makes more work for glaziers, or burning houses makes . more work for carpenters, etc., so does a high tariff on goods make more work in some places. But this merely means harder work to produce the things on which the tariff is imposed, fand does not in the least add to the total wealth or comfortof the people. No man really wants work for the sake of work: ‘ing. He wants to work so that by producing things he can exchange them for the goods he needs. And every step in the spread of civilization has been in the direction of producing more goods with less ,work. To be consistent the high tariffite should ad--vocate the destruction of all labor-sav-ing machinery. = Protectionists come to idle men and tell them that by shutting out foreign goods there will be more work in this country. This seems plausible, but it is a delusion. All the goods imported from abroad must be paid for in labor products, to obtain which, requires work in this country. If some kinds of goods can be made cheaper, that is, with less effort, in foreign countries, the dem and for labor is not lessened, but merely turned in other directions to produce goods to be exchanged for those imported. 3y ~ On the other ‘hand, protection actually diminishes the opportunities for employment in two ways. First, by greatly increasing the cost of commodities it decreases the amount of wealth which can, as capital, be devoted to the production of more wealth. Second, by limiting foreign commerce it restricts the markets for our products, thus directly destroying in®lustries which would give work to our umemployed. Just as burning down houses would in the end injure carpenters (by making rents higher and all kinds of goods dearer) more than it would benefit them, so protection, which seems to make more opportunities for labor, always results in shutting men out of worlk.

TELL THE TRUTH. - A Little Conflict of Ideas That Needs Fit- : ting Together. The New York Tribune joins with the Iron Age in predicting prosperity for our iron and steel industries because of the prospect of good crops. After referring to the increased demand of the railroads for rails and other materials owing to the probable increase in grain freights, the Tribune of June 17 says: ‘‘Belief that agricultural makers and makers of wire fencing would have large demands from farmers 4 & have all helped to stimulate buying of iron and its products.” DBut this is an editorial on “Business,” written by a practical business man. In the next column of the samesissue the partisan politician lack gets in his brilliant and original theory of the revival in our industries. He says: ‘‘The people were assured last fall that voting for the restoration of power to the republican party would bring back prosperity. % & The certainty that power had been transferred » « was enough of itself to light thousands of fires and to open the doors of thousands of factories and mills.” : il :

Which isright, the Iron Age, organ of our great iron and -steel industries, and the Tribune's financial editor, or the narrow partisan who tries to gull his readess into believing that merely voting for John Jones instead of William Smith, started up all our idle furnaces, mills and factories? What do the sensible business men of the country, who know that the prosperity of any industry depends on the demand for the goods made by it, think of the leading republican paper’s idea that tradeis regulated by the political complexion of congress? : A correspondent suggests that the Tribune should discharge either its financial editor or its high tariff hack. Or it should allow the latter to tell the truth oeccasionally, even though party interests would suffer.

Figures and Liars. What kind of fools is the Manufacturer, organ of the Philadelphia protectionists, published for? It does not use sufficient care in concocting its fabrications to give them even the appeara}nceJ of truth. It publishes in its own pages the facts which contradict its statements. In its issue of May 4 that paper says: ‘“The Wilson tariff, putting down the duty on sheddy and making wool free, diminished the importation of wool.” And again in the same article: “Under the influence of the Wilson tariff imports of foreign wool declined.” Then to prove 'these‘ assertions it cives the following figures from the circular of Justice, Beteman & Co: ‘‘lmports for seven months end-. ed March 31: Wool. 1893, 107,925,510 pounds; 1894, 33,800,505 pounds; 1895, 120,736,221 pounds.” Comment is needxess- ¥ RS 3 e 3

An Example. New Zealand is evidently in earnest in changing her fiscal system to free trade, as it is understood and worked out in England. A bill eutting down the customs duties to five articles, wine, beer, spirits, tobacco and opium —has passed the house. The revenue from these articles will be supplemented by an income tax and a. land tax. The new plan reduces taxation, in appearance,to nearly the least possible degree of simplicity. 'New Zealan¢ lrlwill_, of course, largely increase her external trade. The success or failure of the experiment will ‘be watched _with interest; the e ffect of it will not 'be unfelt in other colonies, especially I hemcaaating unasn et ;&ﬂ“f‘d those under which New Zealand is found.—Monetary Times
