sion that Indicates those points weie In

phatic. "We will seive tho Loul, lot lie

WIJAKNKSS One might suppose that
this answet would be entirely satlslac-
toiy lo Josbun. in its lettei, and ven r.
Its splilt. It was tho very thing- he had
.ien.ue-.tcd But a great chieftain who has
passed moie than live stole veais. most
ol the time in public lite, knows how to
weigh men. It is vastly easier to piomlse
than to fultlll (Psnlm Kwi, 11). "Ye can
not seive the Loul," hn s.dd. lie knew
how we.ik they weie, how easily tinned
away fiom tho light, loi ho had watched
their com so loi more than half a cen
tal y. Be gave as an additional leason
tor his i em ilk, the fact th.it Ood was
holv (Horn, xli, 1). And he doclaied that
it alter pioichig, tlioy tm nod avv.iy, God
would destiov them. Did Joshua intend
to dlscouiAge the people' Would he
make that appear impossible which be
loie ho had uigcd as dosiinble.' No, Hu
intended lo make them tool the Impor
tance, the dlflletilty, and tho magnitude
ot their undoi taking (Luko iv, JT-'JS). Jlo

mincd lo make tlimoiigh woik ot it.
RBSOLVD The people .idhcied to thcii
piomise, "Wc will seivo tho Loid," was
theh simple And unanimous leplv. Ovci
.isninst his "ve cannot," the wiote "we
will." It is piob.ible that the wolds used
to oxpuss difficulty onlv Intensified the
deteimination. And it may bo that the
thoughts ot the Divine holiness inci eased

Seen These Shoes
In Our Corner Window
These two lines of Men's Shoes are
special in every sense of the word
special in leather quality, special in
style, and above all, very special in
price. We didn't get them by chance,"
either. We watched the leather that
went into them. We knew the work
of the shoemakers who made them and
they passed our critical examination
when we received them. So you see
we are well backed up in putting our
stamp of approval on them. I hey
have the style you expect in a shoe
costing a much higher price. Most
of them have the double sole, with
uppers of Enamel Box, Box Calf or Yici Kid.
