"Th gtrtat Army of Israel, under
J6?hin, waif encamped on tlio hillsides
atroV the- Jordan, whcro it had been
feroushi to a standstill by tho raging
tiror -which was flood tide and out ot
its banks,
"At Inst the AO years ot wnhderinc In
tile wlldernrsa .had come to nil end. THo
t!ma tide! Arrived for tho tribes to tako
possession of lliotr inheritance In tho
i'romls?! Land. Thioo daj'B were to bo
tloroted to rest nnd preparation for tins
RTMlest nchlevoment ever undertaken
From headquarters officer were sent
throughout the tamp to Inform, Instruct
and prepare the people. Perhaps a
trumpeter Vvent wlth the herald to sound
the bunlo to call tho people tcuothcr.
Hpehc were mado Rlvinp; full Informa

of every man, and full Information "ns

"AS'tx commander Joshua was hew J
' and -untried. Nobody know nnytlilnp I
about his ability. He had never operated
on Independent command, lie had no
past success as a preqtlRo to glvo the
people confidence. Tliey had known no
oilier leader but Moses. It "was natural
that Joshua would suffer from compari
son his nppcaranco language orders
new war of dolntr things. When a new
preacher assumes charge of a church hr
Is up against the same dlfllculty. He Is
contrasted with his predecessor.
" 'Ho doesn't preach like Brother Bar
ker Used tot'
" 'Land sakesl Did you over hear nny
body pray like that?"
"'What n queer way ho led the praer
meeting!'
FOUtfD FAULT WITH JOSHUA.
"I Imagine the people quarreling and
finding fault with Joshua, 'What in the
world Is Joshua trying to do now? Going
out against a walled cltyl Who over I
heard of such a thing! Moses would
never have taken us on such a wild-goose
chasol I don't believe In going to war
this way! I like to see things done de
cently and in order! Just because he has
got up there ho wants to show off! He
thinks he Is a bigger man than Moses!
Who ever heard of taking priests Into
battle? .Moses forgot moro than -Joshua
over knew, whose rams' hoens ho lacked "
"All have witnessed just such scenes
vWhcn an effort Is made toward a revival
of religion Some say, 'Oh, ho preaches
too much hell! Others say, 'Ho doesn't
preach enough.' Somo say, 'He is sensa
tional.' Others say. 'Oh, he is vulgar!'
Somo say, 'I don't like the music.' Others
say, 'We have too much music!'
"But tho man that God sends never
falls!
"Had the walls of Jericho been a mile
thick and 10 miles high, Joshua would
have gona against them with the same
boldness. He was not depending on his
soldiers, .nor the priests, nor the weather.
nor tlio'tams' horns, nor himself, nor his
feelings, but on the word of the llvlnc
God
"Tho wltdcrness-worn veterans are now
iabout to take, tho step that would make
them a great nation a people with a
God-chosen, destiny a rjeotile under tho
Almighty's especial care. Before they set
trees were being uprooted and the hills
melting away and houses falling, an old
woman Jumped up nhd down, clnpped her
hands and cried; That's the kind of a
God I bellevo Inshakes tilings. If He
wants tol'
FAITH 18 COUNTERSIGN.
"That was tho kind of a God Joshua
proclaimed a God who would overwhelm
them with astonishment as to the mighty
display of ills power! So tho peoplo be
gan to stiffen up their spines and throw
back their shoulders and oxpect something.
" 'Faith' Is tho biggest word Inhe lexi
con of a Christian, it is the counter
sign that admits you to tho inner circle of
power. Doubt and timidity are strangers
to a man of faith. The man of faith is
magnetic galvanic energetic! The man
of faith does not drop nor sag in the
mlddlol His enthusiasm is as Infectious
as tho smallpox, or tho laughter of little
children! Faith puts a song on his lips
lire In his blood cement in his backbone!
It puts tho ball over tho fenco when there
are throe men on bases the last half of
the ninth Inning, two out, and you need
1 black clouds have been swept awayl
That ought to give Us confidence, and we
Will have plenty of good weather in the
future.
COUNT YOUR. BLESSINGS,
"Take time to count your bloselngs. You
will be astonished to see how they will
grow In your hands!, Wo would all bo
Bettor aoie to meet the troubles if wo
would remember what God has donol If
wo would take llmo to look back, It would
bo sure to end In our looking up! At the
beginning of tho year, merchants look
back. Thoy take ah Inventory. They
wnnt to know what they have been doing.
They want to see what thoy havo on hand
tq begin business with the new year. Uy
revjewlng the past, they prcparo for tho
future. Before you tako a new step, be
suro you havo not stumbled too much
In the old ones! What a merchant does
In a cold, practical business way, wo
ought to do religiously. I think we would
get on better with God mako more
progress If we would take our bearings
oftener,
" 'Ye have not passed this way hereto
fore.' Is God With us where we stand?
Has Ho brought us to the place whcro we
stand? Catt wo count on His help In
What we are doing? Think of this when
you are about to go home, where no child
of God should bo found dead when about
to do something that will not stand the
test ot tho Golden llule when you are
about to crowd somo unfortunate to the
wall when you are about to say some
thing about another thnt you know Is a
lie, Cah you pray for God to help you to
do what you aro doing, with tho assur
ance that Ho will help you do It? If that
be true, then nothing on earth can block
our way, any more than tho rushing, un
bridged Klver Jordan could keep the Bons
of Jacob out of tho God-given promised
land!
Jamming and go to climbing, tt your
pookets are empty fill your hearts with

LAST NIGHT'S SERMON
foot In that raging river they had to do-Thorns not the lepers and tho camp fol
more hard thinking than they had ever
acme, in tho years agone they had done
lots of foolish things Impulsively, That
Is why they had been tramping 40 years
and never reached tho Promised Land!
If they had all been as level-headed as
Moses, Caleb and Joshua, their Journey
Would have ended In 30 days, and here
they had been a generation In reaching
the place where they novvstood! And it
was alt becausbthey haefnot tried to get
anywhere! The man who has no -purpose
in IlfeS goes about tired because he does
his climbing In- a treadmill. Ho is always
a. zigzagger. And for every inch of head
way he goes a mile! Without a definite
aim he will never travel in an air line,
Tho bee goes straight only when flying to
Its hive. The. man who turns the world
upside down does it because that is his
sole business in life. The man who under
takes to do a. thousand things never will
amount to a hill of -beans. Tho man who
devotes his time and skill and energy to
doing' one thing will 'stand before kings 1'
KEEPS GOING AND GROWING.
"Paul aa"!d: This one thing I do.' Keep
your eye on that man! He will move
orery mountain and pull up every tree
that la In his pathway. Nothing can chill
his ardor nor cool his courage ! He keeps
on going and growing, no matter what
Interferes.
"Tho Christian life needs to bo entered
upon as thoroughly and definitely as the
sun-browned pilgrims went Into Canaan.
Lrt a. man get his start in that way, and
he will not throw away his Blblo when
ho strikes a hard place! Tho men who
had wandered aimlessly are at last
brought to tho place where they expected
great things from the God who had
brought them out of Egypt. The officers
who had gone throughout the camp-plain-spoken
and direct in what they said
were made to understand that the Ood
who had spoken amidst the thunders of
Sinn J had not exhausted Himself, and
that Hevwould astonish them with a
great display of His wonderful power!
"It Is a great thing to discover that God
neves; wears out that He never comes to
a. place where He cannot transact all the
business that is required of Him! Tho
man who needs a great salvation must be
convinced that there is a God mighty to
gava hlmt A helpless man must have a
mighty Saviour, or none.
"Ono reason why somo preachers are not
ablo to bring- many sinners to repentance
Is because they preach of a God so Im
potent that He can only throw down card
houses when all the signs avo right I They
decline to magnify His power for fear
thoy will overdo It? And if they acci
dentally make a strong- assertion as to Hla
power, they immediately neutralize It, by
'tut It were," or 'in a measure, perhaps."
"At the tlroo of an earthquake, when the
four runs, and you aro un!
" 'Ye have not passed tills way hereto
fore' meaning, I tako It, that everything
is now to bo now different from any
thing they had previously known. The
peoplo believed it, nnd soon there was
great comniotlon in the camp. There was
tho busy hum of preparation. People
worked with n will. They talked with
glowing faces of the mighty God of Jacob
nnd what Ho was going to do. Thoy were
looking ror grcnt things far greater than
evor. Yot thoy had seen great things.
Most of them wero children when they
enmo out of Egypt. Thy had seen the
destroying angel como throuchnut thn
larid nnd slay the first born In every home
where tho blood was not on tho door
post. They had seen manna rained from
Heaven every morning for 40 years. They
had seen the mighty hand of God roll
back tho waters of tho Red Sea. They
had seen the waters gush out of tho rock
as tho rod of Moses struck It They had
seen the rod of Aaron blossom and bear
almonds In a night. They had soon tho
cloud of quails como up nnd feed them
until thoy loathed tho meat. They had
seen tho dying spring Into llfo with ono
look nt the brazen serpent. They had
seen the ground open nnd swallow up tho
stlffnecked rebellious. They had seen tho
pillar of fire lead them by night nnd tho
cloud by day. But now there wcro great
er things.
"There would be more and greater re
vivals if the peoplo and tho preacher
expected something! Tho man with a
llttlo faith deserves a little God. Tho
man with mountain-moving faith gets
earthqunko rcsutts!
PRIESTS WHO BLEW HORNS.
"No depositor will over know very much
(about the stability ot a bank-, If he only
checks out 10 cents nt a time. If wo all
expected more from God, there would
be fewer disappointments! The measure
with which wo receive Is the same as
that with which we believe! 'According
to your faith' is the key with which the
angels open the windows of Heaven!
" 'Ye Haven ot passed this way hereto
fore!" shouted Joshua's preachers. It was
tne priests who Diew upon the rams'
SUBJECT: 'TOBOES THAT WIN."
"At the time of President McKtnloy'a
funeral procession this country for five
minutes stopped nil work. The railroads,
every factory, the machinery of this land
stood still; the hanker stopped counting
his money; tho merchant quit measuring
tho commodities nnd left them unmeas
ured; the farmer stopped his plow In the
furrow, every student closed his book for
five minutes, and with uncovered heads
wo all attempted to pay a mark of respect
and trlbuto to the man who had tried to
mako this a better nation, and happier
men and women, and children. Wo did
that, and I am glad that we did that, thus
showing to the people Hint wo did not
forget to placa a high value on character,
although wo seem at times to bo commer
cially dazed and drunk. Wo stood still
long enough to testify to tho world that
it matters not to what political party a
man belongs, if he tries to make this a
better nation and mako better homes.
"Seventy-five million peoplo In tho United
States, each giving flvo minutes, would
mako moro than 700 years of service ren
dered McKlnley. I am glad wo did It. I
am glad there Is a Fourth of July when
wo aro filled with enthusiasm and testify
to the world that we realize at what cost
wo laid tho foundation of tho greatest
nation God's eyes over rested upon, and
I am glad there is an Easter, to recall
Him that burst through the bonds of
death I am glad wo have Christmas to
recall Him that was born amidst the
malodorous, unwashed beasts In the
manger; I nm glad there Is a Labor Day
to nay tribute to tho men with the dinner
bucket and calloused hand. I nm glad wo J tho count.
tell whether God wanted him to be a
college professor or an auctioneer and he
had luck enough to keep out of the poor
house because ho found some girl who
was hlg enough, strong enough and Will'
Ing enough to stand over a washtub and
manicure her finger nails.
STUDY CAPABILITIES.
"You can hear more barber shop, carb
stonc, livery stable nnd barroom theol
ogy In Philadelphia than you ever heard
In your llfo before. Study your capa
bilities'. Somo one said: 'Kid, what aro
you going to bo when you are a man?'
He said: 'An electrician.' 'Why?' 'Be
cause I llko to monkey with doorbells.'
Study your capabilities. Find out what
you aro going to do, If God Wants you
to be an Iron cogwheel In a machine, tho
sooner you stop being a searchlight and
a whlstlo and be a cogwheel the better
tne mnchlno will work and tho moro suc
cessful you will' be. You might aa well
try to teach a cow the oratorio of 'Tho
Messiah' try to make a silk purse out
of a sow's ear as to expoct you to bo
successful If you start out in life In anv
proposition for which you were not in
tended. The proprietor of tho Waldorf
Hotel in New York used to bo a waiter
at (2 a week. Somo fellows have too
much pride to toko the first Job that
offers. They want to wear a white shirt,
patent leather shoes that's tho kind of a
Job they want, and their mother has to
tako in washing waiting for him to find It.
Somebody said to a boy, 'Kid, how did
you learn to skate so well?' And tho
boy answered, 'By getting up every time
I fell down.' In other words, don't take
lowers! Heart power and singing cannot
be printed In notes. A painted fire will
never boil an egg. Too many choir sing
ers do not know any more about the gos
pel they sing than the town-pump does
about the tnste of water. One of the
greatest needs Is moro prayer nnd less
nonsenso In our church choirs more
praise and less backbiting more lovo and
less fault-finding- moro reverence and
less frivolity moro of desire to honor
God than to give ai concert.
" 'Ye have not passed this way hereto
fore.' "This proclamation was mado that tho
weary sons of Jacob might take a look
back and a long step forward. To stand
on new ground, he makes all consider.
You have never stood where you stand
today. Never havo you had so much be
hind you. Never have, you stood so near
tne grave. You never have had so much
to bo thankful -for. You never have had
so much to regret. You never havo had
so much to enlighten or disgrace you.
'Thero are times In the lives of all of
us when wo need to havo that thought
tako hold upon us. Stop and think. Then
tako a new grip on life.
TAKE A GOOD LOOK.
"Will you make better use of tho future
than you have of the past? What have
you learned from your mistakes and blun
ders? Are you going to keep on sinning
tho same old sins going to continue to
be the slave of the Bame habits going to
keep on stumbling over the same mines
of opportunity and never pick up a nug
set? "Rub your, eyes and take a good look I
"Go baclc over the winding, aimless Jour
ney that has brought you here. Notice
how many chances vmi hnv im n
shorten and straighten your course. You
are standing- on higher ground than ever.
You ought to be able to see farther!
Look back and consider how graciously
God has dealt with you. If you havo
never done any Berlous thinking before,
do some now, Just as the children of
Israel did when they pitched their tents
on tho banks of the Jordan! As they
called up from the past all they had ex
perienced in the 40 years of wandering,
how much better God had dealt with them
than they deserved! His faithfulness in
splto of their unfaithfulness was evident
that He would stand by them all the
way! That was true in their case, and
it is in ours. All these things happened
for our Instruction. The way to find out
what God will do is to look back and see
what God has done. No man can con
sider what God has done without feeling
safe to trust Him for what He Is eclng
to do.
"You Bay it looks dark. Well, tho fact
that we have ha'a sunshine Is proof that
wo will iave it! Think of how all the

Journey back home and eat turkey and
cranberry sauce nnd mlnco pie. As a na
tion wo can raise enough to feed tho
world. I am glad thero are a great many
periods In our lives when wo laugh, nnd
I can recall a good many In my life that
I wish I could forgot,
DIFFERENT KINDS OF RUNTS,
branch out and mako yourself larger
than you now aro In character. A mid
get In body can bo turned Into financial
account In a dime museum. Rtngllng
Brothers will pay well for a physical
monstrosity. A midget In character and
a midget In morals Is pitiful. A woman
once said to her husband: 'Wlllam, I
dreamed last night that I attended an
auction and they were selling husbands
nnd they brought all the way from $500
to $10,000.' 'Wife,' said he, 'the fellows
that brought 110.000 were like me." 'No,
husbands like you sold three bunches for
a nickel.'
"A midget In mind nnd a midget in
character !. like a carbuncle.
"I'll tell you; you can't look up and
admire a runt In mind and a runt In
character unless you are married to the
runt, nnd then you do It under protest.
Now, I'll tell you. The humility that
wants to remain little simply because it
Is easier than to draw your sword and
null off your coat and fight with your
sword nnd go out Into tho world's strife
and drive that sword to tne nut into me
putrefying poison. Ho Is dead. Is he?
What complaint? No complaint Every
body Is satisfied. Some people leave the
world and all that Is left behind them Is
their epitaph on a tombstone. That's all.
As the fellow said "when he sat down to
the piano and ran his fingers over the
keys. He said, 'What do you think ot
my execution?" I'm in favor of It.
"Now, boys, girls, excuse mo for calling
you boys and girls. You are young men
and -women, but I call you boys and girls.
You havo got to have a desire to grow
up and develop. You havo got to feel your
need to1 grow, Just like a miser wants
money or a politician wants office, and
like a hog wants slop. And I will tell you
It Is a great deal like watering a horse.
A raw-necked, pigeon-toed, red-headed,
cross-eyed, freckle-faced kid, with a stone
bruise on each heel can ride a horse to
Water, but a college professor with 49 di
plomas can t make a horse drink If he
doesn't want to drink. We can tax the
people, build schools, build colleges, build
universities, hire teachers; we con give
you the opportunity, but we cannot In
culcate in ou a desire to learn. Building
schools is one thing, education is another.
CHOOSE YOUR COMPANY.
"Some fellow says he will never get
married, but when he meets the right girl,
when some girl crosses his path he will
fall bo dead in love with her that his
heart bone sticks out two Inches, abnor
mally; some girl with eyes like a raven,
hair like the midnight, teeth like pearls
behind lips of coral. And If somo young
follow don't cut him out In six months he
wjll be looking for a flat, and In less than
a year he wjll be tacking down carpet
and hanging the pictures. When desire
comes, he will build a -tunnel through
any mountain that Impedes progress In
this world.
"There are four things you need to
make you a leader of others. Blood,
You need to have a good start Environ
ment You must have your surroundings
good. Grit. You need lots of that to
sand the track. Education. And above
all, Christianity. These ate the things
you need If you want to climb to the
top. Many a boy falls to get anywhere
because he has a wishbone that la bigger
than a backbone. Many a man couldn't
"Somebody said to Napoleon. 'What Is
tho secret of your success?' And ho re
plied, 'I am a half hour ahead of the
enemy.' Somebody asked Alexander tho
Great, 'How did you conquer tho world?'
And ho said, 'By not wavering.' Presi
dent Roosevelt, or ex-President, said re
cently In an nddrcss: 'The young man
or woman who succeeds In llfo Is not tho
one who waits for something sufficiently
attractive to present Itself, but who turns
nis nana to that which lies nearest.
"William Jennings Bryan said you can
always afford to be In the minority, but
you can never afford to be In tho wrong.
Bulwer Litton said, In the bright lexicon
of youth, which faith has reserved for a
higher power, there is no such word as
falh Get that word out of your vocabu
lary. I have cut all slang out of my
preaching.
NEWSPAPERS COLLEGE.
"Educational advantages wero never
greater than they are today. Books wero
never cheaper. They nro llko the leaves
on the trees. The telegraph runs to the
four corners of the world. Newspapers
hand you tho news of tho wortd every
morning and evening In the week for 10
or 15 cents. The newspaper today Is a
better college than Abraham Lincoln had
just the newspaper. The limbs of the
tree of knowledge hang so close to the
ground that the boy or girl who Is am
bitious can walk up and pluck the fruit
away.
One hundred years ago no man in this
country had sense enough to make n
.match. The 12 greatest Inventors tho
world has ever known have been Elven
to the world within tho last 110 years.
Great ships havo been built with people
enough on deck to build a city, and power
enough In their magazines to wreck a
kingdom. Man mado that. That great
searchlight that flashes In the midnight
eky like the finger of God. Man made
that You can talk, from New York to
San Francisco it will cost you $26 a mini

Tho wireless telegraph the ship fighting
her way through the Atlantic can flash
out a message to ships hundreds of miles

more money out ot the dump heaps
around the gold mines that was consid

mines 60 years ago. Today electric power
is generated by rubbish swept from the
city streets, and garbage Is turned Into
fertilizer that Is worth (IS a ton. Fac
tories .run with gas generated from their
own soap ends. What was the blood ot
an ox In the pasture eating grass yester
day Is by chemical process made Into
buttons and they Bew them on my coat
They are made of blood.
Anallne dyes are made out of coal tar.
Cigarettes are made out of the cigar
stumps they fish out of the gutter. Listen
to me, boys. They will go up a back
alley and they will pick up a dirty rug
that a billy goat would pass up like a
paycar does a tramp and they will turn
that dirty rag Into glucose, thoy will turn
the glucose Into booze, and they will
turn the booze Into young men, and turn
the young men Into tho penitentiary or
the electric chair, or put hla head in a
noose, and send him Into a premature
grave, staggering, muttering, maundering,
and on down to perdition.

Tho fellow said, 'I didn't know that Iko
