LESSON
(By E. O. SELLERS, Director of Evening
Department, The Moody Bible Institute,
Chicago.)
LESSON FOR OCTOBER 19.
REPORT OF THE SPIES.
LESSON TEXT-—-Numbers 13:1-3, 25-33,
GOLDEN TEXT-—“If God is for us,
who is against us.” Rom. 8:31
Kadesh Barnea marks the place of
the Israelites’ first great defeat. Long
and bitterly did they regret that day
of unbelief and not till a new genera-
tion was reared did the nation as
such enter into the land of promise.
The act of that day was the culmina-
tion of a whole train of unbelief, and
truly they chose death rather than
life. (Josh. 24.15.)
I. The 8ples. vv. 1-3. God had com-
manded Israel to possess the land,
now as a precautionary measure they
went about to “investigate.” This
act, which was not a part of God's
program, but by divine permission,
was a reflection upon God's word
about the character of the land. (See
v. 19.) The eternal questions of man
are to know the why and the how.
God told Moses to send these men
as a concession to their lack of faith,
but it cost Israel forty added years of
exile. The inheritance prepared for |
the faithful are always conditioned |

This act, commanded by God at the

A True Type.
Il. The Majority Report, vv. 25.29,
Though these spies spent forty days
in conducting their investigation (a
modern form of political graft), yet
every step was a corroboration of
God's word and the years of desola-
tion which followed correspond to
the number of days they were absent
from the camp. The first or the af-
firmative part of their report was
fine, but the negative was so exagger-
ated as to turn the twelve tribes to
an act which amounted to a ecatas-
trophe. This land and this report is
such a true type of our Christian ex-
perience. They brought back the evi-
dence of the truth of God's descrip-
tion of the land (Ex. 13:5 and Deut.
8:7-10) which was to be for them a
resting place after their wilderness
Journey (Heb. 3:8-11, 14 and 4:8, 9).
But these spies had seen other
things, things to discourage, viz., men,
strong men, entrenched men (v. 28).
they would find (Ex. 13:5). They not
only saw all of this but, ike all un-
believers, they magnified their ene-
mies. Today we see evil entrenched
behind special privilege, we see the
forces of evil that appear to us ss

giants and unbelief cries out, “Who is
sufficient?”
lil. The Minority Report, vv. 80-33.
Majorities may rule but minorities
are more frequently right, witness
history. A great cry of despair (Ch.
14:1) greeted this report. Caleb
stilled the people (v. 30) that they
might get the other side of the story.
His report agreed with the majority
as to the desirability of possessing
the land; indeed, we surmise it was
Caleb and Joshua who brought their
evidence with them (v. 23). Their
report differed, however, in its con-
clusion. To the picture of the
strength of those scattered through-
out the land Caleb bluntly replied,
“Let us go up at once and possess it;
for we are well able to overcome it.”
(Cf. Rom. 8:37; Phil. 4:19.) Ten men
looked upon man, the two saw be-
hind man, God, a God who was able.
The ten lost their lives even as they
feared, whereas Caleb ‘and Joshua
lived to enjoy the fruits of their vis-
fon of faith. (Ch. 14:6-9, Josh. 15:14.)
Unbelief cries, “We be not able,” of
course not, for “vain is the *help of
man,” but belief, seeing God, in the
words of Caleb cries out for imme-
diate action. “Unbelief shuts itself
out of promised blessings (Heb. 3:
19), it always has and is still so do-
Ing. TUnbelief exaggerates and con-
tradicts.
Must Consider Entire Story.
IV. The Sequel, Ch. 14. No teacher
can properly present this lesson with-
out considering the entire story. The
amazed people (14:1-4); the solemn
protest of Joshua and Caleb (vv. 6-
11) was met with threatened death
and God interviewed to protect his
faithful ones (Ps. 34:7). The enkin-
dled anger of Jehovah (v. 11, 12) is
met by that magnificent revelation of
the beauty and strength of the char-
acter of Moses (vv. 13-19). He based
his appeal upon the necessity of main-
taining the honor of God’s word and
pleads for mercy and compassion.
This appeal was answered by a gra-
cious pardon for the people, but with
it came a declaration that discipline |
was necessary. |
We must remember that these
Israelites had the benefit of the full
revelation of the law, yet we see its
insufficiency in producing a perfect
character. Laws will not cure the
ills of the body politic. Sinning men |
must enter into that fellowship with |
God that is the result of a life of|
obedience ere they can enter that de- |
lectable land of peace, plenty and |
power which lies before them. Fail |

Five Solid Reasons
IVE solid reasons why each farm
needs a manure spreader are these, $
in the words of a farmer who has a
devoted much time to correct soil- 2
feeding. 1. It saves disagreeable
and bard work. 2. It pulverizes and mixes ®
the manure mass. 3. It distributes manure 3
evenly over the field, insuring a good, even 5
stand of grain. 4. It prevents loss of nitrogen E
through fermentation or leaching in the pile 3
when manureis hauled directly from the stable, -
5. Indirectly, the ease with which it can be =
handled encourages the owner to care for the
manure dnd distribute it on the fields care=
fully instead of wasting it.
