The Philadelphia branch meeting of
the Woman's Foreign Missionary So
ciety of the Methodist church closed
this week after a most Interesting ses
sion In Pittsburg. It was the tbirty
seconel anniversary of the organization.
There was a very largo attendance.
The j-nst growth of this society Is made
Impressive by the recollection that It
was established by eight women. Only
one Is living. She is Mrs. Amos AVake-
1 In, and she was at the Pittsburg meet
ing, acting in the capacity of recording
secretary, u position she has tilled for
tho thirty-two ydars.
It is an odd fact that while there has
been a falling off in the llnancial status
of some missionary boards, the wo
men's soeietles are making a steady
advance in most churches. For In
stance, the apportionment of the Phila
delphia Branch, which takes In por
tions of Pennsylvania. New York and
Delaware, was $40,noo for the past year.
The amount raised was $4u.4!H.07. As
(there nre ,pnly eleven brunches of the
iyVoman's Foreign Missionary society in
Iho world, this Is an important item.
'hero nre live whole conferences in tlio
Philadelphia. Rruiich and live that are
fractional. The AVyomlng conference
lalsed ?2,r,!)l.l4 of the apportionment
named above.
Mr.". W AV. Ives was the only repre-
-ntative from Scrauton. Among those.
rom AVyomlng conference who served
In important committees were Mrs. AV.
IV. Ives, Mrs. A. F. Chaffee and Miss
IJornolla Wadhams.
w
It is said that among the retirements
bo considered in the House of Risli-
kps at the next general conference of
Ihe Methodist church will be those of
Bishop Hurst and Ttlshop Vincent.
Itoth of these mepibers of the episco
pate have been notable for their colos-
lal mental power, but In both cases
hero is a lamentable weakening in
L'oneral health and Intellectual vigor.

LESSON FOR OCT. 12
CROSSING THE JORDAN.
Josh., iii:9 to iv:7.
Secretary
of Ainciican Society of He
llgloas Ivdiication.
TIIH CONTICXT.-The days that
elapsed after Clod's command to Joshua,
studied last week, were given to prepara
tion. Reuben, Clad ami half tribe of
Manasseb, whose possession-, lay east of
the Jordan, were Instructed to cross the
river and help their brethren and then
leturn. Two spies were sent to Jericho
lo learn the condition of the city and of
the surrounding country. On their re
itira, all were greatly encouraged by tho
report that the Inhabitants were fear
ful, an Indication that Ood favored Israel
and that the conquest might be easily ac
complished, llreaklng camp at Shlttlm,
Israel approached the river and theie
riMed over the night, prepared to resume
the forward movement In the morning.
The whole assembly engaged In religious
exercises, leconseeratlng the people, to
Ood. and dually the Lord delivered a
palling message to Joshua (verses 7 and
Si, promlblng help and giving spccillo
directions, all designed to secure success,
TilK PLKDCJH.-CVerses !i and lu.)-iiie
first live vtrses of our lesson contain
Joshua's address to the people in two
sections. He Invited all lo assemble
about him and bear what the Lord hail
said to him, anil then pledged the pres
ence of Ood as they entered Canaan, de
claring that lie would drive out the
seven nations then Inhabiting tho land
(Ks. xxxlll:2l. This was a reiteration of
what had been promlsted many times.
At that particular moment, it was a most
welcome message, ihe ground of faith to
all. Without it, every one would havo
been faint-hearted. It was highly Im
portant that this expedition should lie
undertaken hi a right spirit. Hvery man
must learn to look up and to expect help
from above. Then tho religious life of
the nation would be quickened, and the
purpo-o of Ood would bo piomoted to
lalse up a people for himself lo be used
by him in the accomplishment of tar
l caching designs among other peoples hi
all after centuries. It was a sublime ex
hibition of coulideuce when Joshua mado
this pledgo and It was accepted by 1s
latl. TIIK MKTIIOn.-(Vcrsci 11, 12, 13.)-Tho
runalndrr of Joshua's address was occu
pied with an account of tho method of
crossing the Jordan. This was to bo or
derly, so arranged us still further to ex
press tho faith of the people In Ood and
cultivate their feeling of dependence.
There were three features, each Import
ant. 1. i'ho ark of Iho covenant should
go tlrst into the Jordan, borne by the
plie.ts (vcise ). That signified Olvlnu
precedence and leadership, .Surely, tho
people would not four to follow the ark,
which contained tlio charter of tho na
tion. '.'.As soon as the feet of tho
priests should rest In tho Jordan, tlio
waters would be. divided and a highway
would bo prepared for all to pass over to
tho other side. This would be a miracle
like that which enabled Israel to cross- tho
Red Sea on leaving Kgypt (Us. xlv:2l)
A proof of Ood'a presence, a. Twelve
men, one front each tribe, kliould no se
lected to witness and afterward lo testi
fy to these occurrences. Thli method of
procedure virtually placed tho entire ex.
pedltlon under tho direction of Jehovah,
so that Israel might forever after know
that Ood led them Into the land,
TIIH PASSA15 K.-t Verses II. 15, 10.)
The speech of Joshua ended, tho rest of
this third chapter Is history, a record of
what actually transpired, '(iui precise
method, a before outlined, was followed
and tho results were as predicted. Klrst
ennio the priests, beating tho ink of tho
covenant, and behind them at a pre-i-Aibed
distance, were tho peoplo (Josh,
III: I). Tho Intervening spaco gavo em.
phasls to tho promise of presence and
guidance. AVhen tho priests dipped their
tout In tho waters of Jordan up invisi
ble power stayed their flow, The upper
waters, coming down from the sea of
Oalllee, stood and roso up, being In
creased by tho Hood from above, and
spread out over tho surrounding country,
while tho water below continued their
course to the Dead sen (Men. xlv;3). There
was thus opened up u passage wuy from
bank to bank, along which the hosts
might march, iho three millions Into
their promised possessions. Without hu
man wisdom or power, all this was ac
complished. The prediction of Joshua
and tho promlso of Jehovah worn ful
nitcd, It must have been with much ex
hilaration that Iho throng prosed for
watd in Iho prepared pathway, alt doubt
and fear dismissed.
TllKlM:i',i:N8K.-7vcrse 17.) On reiich.
Itig the middle of Jordan, the, priests
stood still, holding the ark of the coven
ant. On their tight bund were the up.
heaved waters, a wall keeping back tho
floods. On their loft was Iho open bed of
tho liver spreading away toward tho
south, Heforo them was Canaan, nnd be
hind them was Moab. Pressing onward
onelther side were the men, women, chil
dren, cattle and other possessions of Is
rael. And thorn tho priests remained un
til nil had gone over. This was tho mode
of defense. An object lesson was pre
rented to every soul. It was Ood who
ptotccled his peoplu while they hastened
with Joyful step toward tho hind of their
hopes (Psalm xxlll:!). ills mlghly hand
Interposed so that tho flood did not over
whelm them. The spectacle ought to
havo made a powerful and lasting Impres
sion upon every mind. Thenceforward
that ark ought to havo been cherished
ns the one mnst sacred thing, and with
feelings of veneration and thanksgiving
every eye ought to have turned towuid
tho placo where the sacred chest was
deposited (Josh, visit). What wonder
that this urk win carried with confidence
Into battle.
TIIK TWKLVK.-tVcrsos 1 and 2.1-Tbo
tribal Idea entered largely Into Biblical
hlstor. Jlegliinlng with the sons of
Jacob, who were blessed by their father
at Ihe time of Ids death (Oen. xllx:;!-2M,
the families were kept distinct all
through tho sojourn In Kgypt and tho
exodus anil wundeiing. They were
planted in Canaan as a sacred confeder
acy, united but ever separate. They
made possible hi the national life traits
of character and forms of achievement
which otherwise would never have been
attained. liven the Christian church, the
irw Israel, was built on the Idea, tbc;o
being twelve npostlcs f.Matt. :::!). m
whom rested the foundation of tho king
dom (Kph. 11:20'. In tho passage of tho
Jordan, tho tribes were also recognized.
One man of the common peoplo was se
lected out of each tribe to be the last
that should cros tho river. It Is sup
posed that the twelve stood about the
priests who bore the ark, witnessing all
tho events of the day, and then that they
retired to express to all their neighbors
and children tho senso of profound grati
tude Chat filled their hearts.
TIIK STONK.-( Verses I!. I, TO-Those
twelve men did not leave tho bed of tho
.Ionian empty handed. AVIth tho tramp
of conquerors they marched after the
ark, each bearing upon his shoulder u
huge boulder taken out of tho place
where the feet of the priests had rested.
This was done at the command of Joshua,
who must have received the order from
Ood. It was part of the method by
which the crossing was effected, the real
design in tho appointment of the twelve
men (Josh. 111:12) twelve stones, twelve
men. twelve tribes the number was sa
cred. Ishmael had twelve sons (Gen.
Jvil:20). There were twelve wells of
water at Klim (Kx. xv.27), and twelve
bowls and twelve spoons were devoted to
the altar (Numb. vlhSI). Solomon had
twelve ofllcers over Israel (livings lv:7).
Klislia plowed with twelvo yoke of oxen
(I Klnm x!x:l!. Twelve goats were a
complete .-in offering fEzru i:17). There
are twelve gates In the new Jerusalem
(Itev. xxl-12).
TIIK MONl'MENT.-O'erses ft nnd 7.)
There stones from the bed of Jordan
were carried to Oilgal (Josh. iv:21), a
place In the valley near Jericho, the site
of the first camp of the Israelites In
Canaan. There they were builded to
gether In a heap, it kind of rude monu
ment, designed to commemorate the pua
sage over tho river. In like manner, It
was customary, and It is to tills day In
all parts, of the east, to erect some suit
able structure that shall tell to posterity
the Important events of the past. Jacob
directed his brethren to gather stones
(Oen. xxxi:IU), in testimony of the recon
ciliation between him and Laban, his
father-in-law. it was announced that the
heap at Oilgal should be n memorial to
all after generations. The children, on
asking their origin nnd significance,
should be Informed. In this wuy, this
u-iiMilerl'ol deed should bo kent in mem
ory, transmitted .by word of mouth from
century to century, through all the future
years, awakening the spirit of reverence
and gratitude.
TIIK RKFLKCTIONS.-I.et the student
sit down by himself hi a quiet placo and
suffer the events of the lesson to pnt-s
slowly through the mind, and let each
point be held In studious contemplation.
Among other reflection, there will doubt
less occur: 1. Those who would bring
great things to pass must rise early and
observe the Lord's will. 2. Israel fol
lowed the priests becau.e they followed
the ark we must follow ministers, as
they follow Christ. .'!. We cannot go fur
astray In keeping the ordinances of Ood,
In doing so, we need not fear the rivers
of trouble, or tho mountains of dlflleulty,
or the hosts of opposing foes. I. Hven
when no ark Is pre-ent, where there Is
nothing appealing to the senses, tho Lord
still goes before his people. 5. As Israel
went through Jordan dry-shod, so may
wo pass through many dangers un
harmed. (!. Ood's wonderful works ought
to be kept In remembrance. The father's
ought to puhlMi them to their children
