Representative Longworth, Ohio, member of the committee, In a state ment, attacked the work of the com mittee, declaring its "extraordinary progress" had been "backward to the days of so-called Cannonism, and then some," and that the strict interpretation of the seniority rule had been followed so that it was "utterly impossible to consider real merit as the basis for organization." He added, however, that he was confident of Republican success in legislation "not because of, but in spite of" the committee work. At the request of Representative Kitchin, of North Carolina, Demo cratic leader in the last House, who will be the ranking minority mem ber of the ways and means commit tee during Republican control of the House, the committee decided to increase the membership of the committee to twenty-five so as not to displace any Democratic mem bers. The Republicans will have fifteen memberships on the com mittee. There Was a Man The International Sunday School Lesson fof March 9 Is "Joshua, Patriot and Leader."—Joshua 1 :l-9 By WILLIAM >T. ELLIS Every one has a past. What lies behind is often more interesting than what is to the fore. Kipling's com monplace travel letters are extremely worth while as revealing the sources of much of ills best later works. There the reader finds many of the real per sons, places and incidents which later were wrought into fiction and poetry. This is the charm of biography; it in troduces one to the factors that went into the making .of a life. Now' that a new figure looms largest on the hori zon of Israel's history, as the Sunday schools are studying it, it is worth while to look behind the promotion, and see Joshua in the making. A hard boyhood, that school in which so many great men have been trained, educated Joshua to life's actualities. He had known the rigors of slavery in Egypt, and all the blackness of that pit out of which Moses led the nation. Then, better than a college course, Joshua had been servant and associate of Moses. He had seen more than a little fighting; it was under his leader ship that Amalek was smitten, while Moses prayed, Aaron and Hur holding up his hands. Always Joshua appears as a man of action, with the .virtues of the doer and the warrier. Most com monly, though, he is remembered as one of the two spies who brought back a favorable report from the Promised Land. His fear-bitteh comrades had perished miserably in the wilderness; here, at last, he was vindicating his earlier judgment by himself leading the host into the long-desired Canaan. A Man Who Was Somebody Every appearance of Joshua in his tory suggests Personality. He was a character. In a colorless crowd lie stood out like a red flag on a green field. The Bible honors personality; today it is seemingly discredited by society. One mood of our day appears to be deter mined to wipe out distinctive lines to substitute the red flag of a bogus in ternationalism" for the banners of patriotism; to abolish our individual loyalties; to dress us all alike; house us all alike; make us walk and talk alike, and all things to compel us to conform to its dead-level standards. The greatest harm done by the changing styles is that they tend to make men and women as much alike as wooden figures from a toy Noah's ark. There is no vital need that one should be in the fashion; there is greatest need that one should be one's self. It is everybody's business in the world to ex press his own individuality, to live his own life, to make his own definite con tribution to his time; in a word, to be a personality. Prom the thin ranks of the personalities God has to select all his leaders of men, even as he chose Joshua from the characterless crowd of wanderers. The parents who abet the modern process of repressing and effac ing the individuality of children, en deavoring to have all conform to a con ventional model, just as a Chinese work man carves a thousand ivory figures ex actly alike, are doing everything in their power to prevent their offspring from ever becoming Joshuas. Instead of a socialism which would level every body down to one plane, the world needs a noble and unselfish individualism which will lift up each person to the fullest possible expression of himself. The King Is Dead Persons who are in the habit of keep ing an eye on current events, and of putting two and two together, see a. re markable shifting of present-day leader ship. A new force of men stand at the fore-front today. Trained in battle, lifti Joshua of old. the returned soldiers will be the leaders of the people. Most of our posts of honor and power will go to the young men who now wear khaki. They are the men for tomorrow. "Paces front'." is the divine command. "Long live the king" must follow hard on the heels of the "The king is dead!" The world's business must go on: the liv ing present is more important than the dead past. There la no time to spend in vain regrets over Moses; for the commands of Joshua must be obeyed. I The attempt to keep a dead leader to the fore is foolish and futile; even China Is finding that she must shake off the dead hand To say that all the great are dead, and that the former days were better. Is to say that God has failed in his task with humanity. Joshua was a better BAJRHjESBUHG TKI .HTK AHt leader for this new period of Israel's life than Moses couM have been. The present day's work is for the present day's doing. Remember Moses only as an inspiration; follow Joshua. He who fails in today's duty is recreant to the past. AH who let present opportunity escape, while they at the grave of the dear dead, are showing poorest honor to their departed. As mountain ozone fills the lungs, summoning every cell and tissue to do its best, so a broad and exalted con-1 | ception of life and its relations expands and quickens one's powers. To see the 1 present as but part of a whole, of which the past and the future are also pieces, is to attain a position where symetrlcal growth and effective service are most possible, i Great experiences are chastening. In the hour of his accession to leadership Joshua doutless perceived his own limi tations most clearly. Else there would not have been need for God to hearten him repeatedly. Whoever undertakes a big job. or gets a large conception of life, is bound to feel chastened and in adequate. The Great Partnership A journalist stands unabashed before kings, because he represents a power mightier than any king, namely, public opinion. The ambassador may be a plain man at home, but he holds up his head in court because he represents a nation. A traveling salesman has con fidence to approach a busy man because he represents an important flrm himself. The preacher, elsewhere perhaps, a very ordinary men, in the pulpit lifts up his voice in assured teaching to all men be cause he believes himself to be the mes senger of the Highest. The reason why Joshua was confident was that he had the assurance. "'As I was with Moses, so I will be with thee; I will not fail thee nor forsake thee." This sense of partnership with God is what makes the weakest strong. It is confidence and power. For in this firm the Senior Partner pledges his all to stand behind the acts of his asso ciates. A divine audacity is imparted to a character by the knowledge that it is actively co-operating with God. This explains the sublime daring of the great reformers. It makes plain why the mis sionary propaganda throughout the world is irresistible. Better than to have an armed host at one's back is to have the assurance. "Lo, I am with you all the days." Paul is the Hero of the apos tolic church because he learned to say. "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." One other enabling was given to Joshua. He was to have the presence of Jehovah and also the revealed will be Jehovah. A good soldier must know his "General Orders." So Joshua was instructed, "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shall meditate therein; day and night, than thou mayest observe to do accord ing to all that is written therein; for, then shalt thou make thy way pros perous, and then shalt thou have good success." Amid the day's maxims on "success" this deserves a first place as being of over-mastering importance. Walk God's way and work God's way, and failure is impossible. The Badge of Leadership The keynote of this lesson is found in the thrice-repeated exhortation to Joshua,""Be thou strong and very cour ageous." It seems as if Jehovah were dinning Into the new leader's ears the supreme importance of courage. The son of Nun was no coward, yet even he needed to be told, with earnest itera tion, that in the fighting man, in the administrator and in the leader courage comes next in importance to obedience. Even God cannot do much with a weak and fearful man. A good life rule is, when undecided, do the more courageous thing. There is never a day, and scarecly an hour, )n even the quietest life when the exercise of courage is not called for. War has erected courage into a primary place among the virtues. The amelioration of society's ills waits more upon strength than upon sweetness. Before we deal tenderly with the prostrate let us deal bravely with the men whose heels are upon their necks. Before we give char ity let us be courageous enough to give justice. Before we abandon ourselves to prayer over civic conditions, let us betake ourselves to work—not forget ting to pray the while. In all condi tions let us exercise courage, and, 10, we shall find all other virtues thriving the more. The Canaans of the heart are conquered by fearlessness.
