FRIDAY EVENING,
members thought selections of floor
leader, whip and steering committee
might be postponed Indefinitely
others said later decision might re
sult in the entire organization being
completed before the committee ends
its present session.
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.
