ST, PAUL'S MJTHjRftAN-filh MOSES LED HIS PEOPLE TO GOD HE ALSO TAUGHT THEM HOW TO WORSHIP 19-20; 35; By NEWMAN CAMPBELL THE CONDITION of the Hebrew people in Egypt, a pitiable one.

They had multiplied greatly since the days of Joseph, who had persuaded his father, Jacob, and his family to come to that country when a great famine struck their own land. Now all Egyptians who had known Joseph were gone, and his people were In oppressed minority group as we say In this day and age, Moses, the baby who had been saved from death by the Pharoah's daughter and brought up as her son, was In exile from Egypt. One day while tending his flocks, he saw a bush that was on fire but did not burn. He stepped aside to examine it, and the voice of God came from it, appointing him as the man to lake his people of the Egyptian land to a country which they could call their own. The Lord told Moses 'that the Pharaoh's heart would be hardened and he ruler various was to show miracles or signs that would finally convince him that he should let the people depart.

The Lord told Aaron, Moses dren of Israel." Moses repeated the Lord's words to the people and they all answered, "All that the Lord hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord," Then the Lord told Moses to have the people wash and sanctify themselves, for He was go- Ing to appear to them in the mountain, but no one but Moses must see Hfrn. If 'any other so much as touched the mountain.he would die. The people prepared themselves, and on the third morning "there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice trumpet exceeding loud, so that all the people that were In the camp trembled," "And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, spake, and God answered him by a voice." The Lord gave Moses laws to govern the people, Including the ten commandments which were later graven on the tablets of stone. Chapter 35 tells us how Moses asked the people to donate the materials necessary for building the Lord's tabernacle.

All the men and women who MEMORY VERSE "If ye will obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then ye shall be Mine own possession from among all Exodus 19:5. brother, to go into the wilderness to meet Moses and to hear what he had to say. The two brothers had been separated, so the meeting was a joyous one. Moses divulged that he was coming back to Egypt, and that he, with his brother, was to lead the people forth when they gained the Pharaoh's permission. The two gathered the leaders or elders of the people together, told them God's plans for the people, and showed them the signs which were to convince the Egyptian ruler that God was with the Hebrews and he should let them depart.

We skip over the struggle with Pharaoh and the escape of the Israelites, to some months later, when they were encamped in the desert, near Mount Sinai, Moses went up into the mountain to talk with God, and the Lord told him to tell the people. "Now, therefore, if ye will obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto Me above all people: for all the earth Mine: "And ye shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation! These are the words which thou shall 'speak unto the chll- were "willing hearted" came to him, bringing their most precious uncut precious stones, gold, silver and brass, purple cloth, blue and scarletj spun by the women. Some women spun goat's hair, and there were "red skins of rams," and badgers' skins which were brought. All things needed were given for the work, including spices, oil and sweet incense. Then the work began, according to the Lord's directions to Moses, and when it was finished, Moses put the candlesticks in the tent of the congregation, and he lighted the lamps before the Lord.

When all was done, a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the taberri'acle. "And Moses was not able to enter Into the tent of the congregation because the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle." Thus did Moses bring the people to God and teach them how the Lord desired them to worship Him. It Is a lesson modern Christians would do well to take to of obedience to the will God and faith in Him.

Many who make a big noise about their democratic rights are cutting out the very source of those blessings. When they talk about freedom of worship, they really mean the freedom to stay away from worship.

They push aside the claims of religion upon their lives, forgetting that when men let religion die they have destroyed the support on which all the other freedoms stand. It is no coincidence that the violence of nazlsm and communism were both preceded by the failure of religion to hold Its place In the vital concerns of men. In Germany, scientific materialism drove out the spiritual elements that good government must rest upon. In old Russia religion became perverted into a tool of the privileged classes and an instrument of despotism. With redemptive religion drained out of national life, there was little left that men could hold to, and their world went to pieces.

There are many who by their indifference and neglect are pushing America down the same path. worship. Sermon: "An Unbeatable Combination." Nazarene CHURCH OF THE 3318 Hlllcrest. William B. Kelly, pastor.
