Lesson IX. Fourth Quarter, For
Nov. 30, 1913.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Josh. Hi, 7-17.
Memory Verses, 12, 13 Golden Text,
Isa. xli, 10 Commentary by Rev. D.
M. Stearn.
In our last lesson we saw Joshua
peclally commissioned and encourag
ed as Israel's now leader. The re
mainder of the chapter told of his re
minder to the Iteubenltes.'tho Gadltes
and the half tribe of Manasseh,. who
had received their Inheritance under
Hoses on the east of Jordan, that they
should leavo their wives, their fami
lies and their cattle and cross, the Jor
dan with their brethren until they, too,
should receive their Inheritance.
The two and a half tribes stood by
their agreement and encouraged Josh
ua with good words. It Is worth not
ing that the oft quoted text, "Be sure
lyour sin will find you out" (Nuin.xxxii,
23), Is In connection with the possible
failure of the two and a half tribes to
help their brethren to And rest. It
may well apply to believers who fall
to carry the Bread of Life to those
who have never heard of Hiin. Chap
ter II tells us of Itabab, her faith in
the God of Israel, her kindness to the
two spies, her desire for the safety .of
her household and her promptness in
binding the scarlet lino In her window
(11, 11-13, 18, 21). Honorable mention
of her Is found in neb. xi, 31; Jas.
11, 23-25. She became the mother of
Boaz, who married Iluth, and therefore
the great-grandmother of David (Matt,
i, 5; Ruth lv, 21, 22).
It is possible that Salmon, her bus
band, may have been one of the two
spies whom she bid. She certainly
lied, and her sin is not excused or
overlooked, but she truly repented, and
there is forgiveness for all such.
Josh, ill tells of the passing through
Jordan, and chapter iv tells of the
twelve stones set up in the bed of Jor
dan and atGllgal. We must ever keep
in mind the reason why of all God's
dealings with Israel, "That nil' the peo
ple of the earth might know the hand of
the Lord, that It is mighty, and that
they might fear the Lord God of Israel"
(Josh, iv, 24; see also I Kings, vlii, 43,
GO; II Kings, xix, 19; Vs. cvi, S).
If believers were living to honor the
Lord more would testify as Rahab did.
"I know, for we have heard,
the Lord your God; He is God in
heaven above and in the earth be
neath" chapter 11, S-ll). The central ob
Ject of our two lesson chapters today
is "the ark of the covenant of the Lord
of all the earth" (ill, 11), mentioned
ten times in chapter 111 and seven times
in chapter iv. The central person is the
living God (ill, 10), who is called by
that name at least seven times (Deut.
v, 20; I Sam. xvii, 2G; II Kings xix, 4;
Hos. i, 10; Matt, xvl, 10; I Thess i, 0,
and in our lesson).
The great event is the crossing
through Jordan on dry lnnd. The
great human instrument is Joshua,
concerning whom the Lord said, "This
day will I begin to magnify theo in the
sight of all Israel, that they may know
that as I was with Moses so I will be
with thee" (HI, 7). .Those who honor
the Lord He will honor.
This is another third day story
(verse 2; see also 11, 16, 22). It may not
appeal to some, but to mo all safety
and victory ore associated with the
greatest third day event in all history,
the resurrection of our Lord from the
dead, for if Ho bo not risen all is vain.
Jordan signifies river of judgment
The twelve stones of Gilgal suggest
risen with Christ, all reproach rolled
away (v, 0). The ark of the covenant
was the most remarkable typo of Chrfst
in the whole tabernacle, although every
whit of it spoke of Him. What could
be more suggestive of all safety de
pendlng'upon Christ than tho ark upon
the shoulders of tie priests in tho
midst of Jordan until everything was
finished and all tho peoplo were clean
passed over? (iv, 10, 11.)
The priests who bore the ark had to
step into the water before the waters
stood up upon a heap on the one side
and ran oft to the Dead sea on tho oth
er (verses 15-17). This must have been
n trial of their faith, unlike tho divid
ing of tho Red sea, which seems to
have divided before tho people came
y actually to it
As we go in life's Journey our faith
should be ever increasing, but Ho al
ways deals with us aa we are able,
though longing ofttlmes that wo might
liave greater faith and grieved by our
little faith, as ne often was with nis
disciples (Matt, vl, 30; Till, 20; xlv, 31;
Jcvi, 8). while tho only two who pleased
Him by great faith were tho Roman
eenturlon and the woman of Tyro and
Sldon, both' gentiles. It is profitable-,
to notice that they were to watch the
ark that they might know the way by
which they should go (til, 3, 4), and wo
are reminded of our instructions in
Ileb. xli, 1, 2, to run with patience,
looking unto Jesus and to consider nim
who endured. In tho summer of 1873
I heard a sermon on the last clause of
yerse 4 at St Catharines, Canada, "For
ye havo not passed this way hereto
fore," which has been a blessing to
mo ever since.
It is certainly good for a now year
or any new departure, but it is equally
good for every day of life, for every
day is an untrodden way, and wo nev
er know thB way and need to acknowl
edge Hini in all our ways that ne may
direct our paths, for it is not in man
that walketh to direct his steps (Frov.
Mi, 0; Jr. x, 23).
PERSONAL TRAITS
MEXICO'S
A Far Seeing Man Whose
Shrewdness Won the
Admiration of Diaz.
0OT of three years of ceaseless
imbroglio in Mexico seTeral fig
ures have been In the ascendan
cy only to wane with the com
ing of overwhelming power from hid
den sources. But today aligned
against each other are two figures that
command tho attention of tho civilized
world. They are Vlctoriano Huerta nud
General Venustiano Carranza.
Huerta as provisional president
faced the most forceful revolution In
the republic's history when General
Carranza, governor of the stnte of Coa
hulla, declaring himself the constitu
tionally elected president of the coun
try, declared war upon the faction
Charged repeatedly with responsibility
for tho assassination of President Ma
dero. Both Huerta and Carranza are mili
tary men reared in tho Porfirlo Diaz
school. Huerta received his military
training as a member of the Chapulte
pec cadets, an organization similarly
constituted to .the Went Point of the
United Stntcs. lie early demonstrated
tljat ho was a born soldier. Ho wns
eighteen when Porfirlo Diaz appointed
him. then a resident of Chihuahua, to
a cadetship. lie passed four years In
the military school and then joined n
coast regiment.
But in 1S02. at the ago of thirty-five,
ho emerged once more ns n man who
bad served twelve years of active, rou
tine army life and with the rank of
lieutenant colonel In command of a
military station.
Farseeing, Merciless Strategy.
Ho had many adventures with brig
ands, and one of them happened to be
a turning point In his career, says a
writer In the Now York Press. On n
certain day he was riding through a
mountain pass, accompanied by two or
three of his military family, when n
croup of men sprang out of the under
brush, covered them with rifles and
"allod on them to surrender.
A man less able than Huerta might
have made resistance. Ho did not.
TIIs mind leaped far ahead to a possi
ble denouement worth while, and, prob
ably to tho inner disgust of his com
panions, he surrendered at once with
out even n show of fight
Pleased ns could be. tho highway
men admitted thnt they were part of
JCcgaza's bandits nnd conducted the
dlstlngushed prisoners to Zegaza's hut,
nnd there after a brief parley Zegaza
made a proposition whereby nuerta
would receive material benefits If he
would keep Zegaza informed of the
days when nuertn's soldiers .would bo
absent from a neighboring Tillage,
leaving It unprotected.
"Let me know in advance," said
Zegaza, "when you are going to send
your troops away from the village to
patrol surrounding country, and on
such days my band will quietly drop
Into the village, tako any wines, food
and money we may bo in need of and
depart without tho necessity of killing
any villagers or putting you to tho
trouble of fighting us."
Rewarded by Porflrio Diaz.
This is what Zegaza is reported to
have said to Huerta, but what special

RULING ON GRAIN GRADES
UPHELD BY THE DEALERS
Association Favors Standardization of
Foreign Cereals by Government.
Representatives of the National
Grain Dealers association havo for
mally notified Secretary Houston of
tho department of agrlculturo In
Washington that the organization
favpred the government's proposed
standardization of foreign grades.
Tho adoption of tho new grades by
tho association was over the protest
of representatives of tho Baltimore
chamber of commerce, who declared
that tho promulgation of tho new
grades would seriously affect their- ex
port trade, tho largest, in tho .country.
Many of tho speakers at a hearing
recently, while favoring tho proposed
grades, urged modifications.
In place of tho government's pro
posed No. 3 corn, with a molsturo con
tent of 17.5 per cent, they urged tho
substitution of a grado to bo called
"standard" and making tho govern
ment's proposed No. 4 a No. 3 with
a moisture test of 10.5 per cent This,
they pointed out, would leavo tho pres
ent grades practically unchanged and
would give tho producer nn incentlTO
to produco a "standard" grain with n
molsturo test of 17.5 per cent
In view of the action of tho Grain
Dealers' association, agricultural de
partment ofllclals expect no other leg
islation, aside from tho puro food livw,
will be needed for enforcing tho now
grades, which will bo promulgated soon.

Eye to the Future. g
inducements he may have offered is
not recorded. But it is recorded that
within two weeks Huerta sent n mes
sage of two words to Zegaza, nnd tho
two words were:
"Next Thursday."
Thursday came, nnd with it came to
the village Zegazn and his band of out
laws. As soon as they were safely in
the main street a detachment of Hucr
ta's troops suddenly appeared In front
of them nnd oiencd fire.
Several of Zogaza's men toppled from
their saddles and fell to earth dead.
Others were wounded, nnd all were at
onc'o surrounded nnd placed under ar
rest. Zegaza himself, described as a
fearless, desperate, man, was shot one
Hjeek later, "In nn nttempt to escape
from prison," nccording to tho report
at tho time.
News of this sharp, quick, strategic
action reached President Diaz, who
had kept his eye on Huerta ever since
ns a lad ho entered tho military school
nt Chapultepcc. Soon Lieutenant Colo
nel Huerta was ordered to report at
the palace in Mexico City. Thither he
went and wns told to choose what post
he liked best under tho war depart
ment. Knows Every Inch of Mexico.
nis choice was not that of com
manding a garrison in a city where he
could attend dinners and balls and
where he could see tho drama, asso
ciate with Interesting men ami meet
charming women, instead of such a
post ho chose to be appointed chief of
the geographical department to the
surprise of all who did not know him
well.
And as soon as possible ho again de
parted from Mexico City, and for an
other period of ten long years he was
engaged in going from one end of Mex
ico to another, studying tho location
of rivers, platenus, mountain ranges,
sun-eying hundreds 'and thousands of
square miles nnd becoming intimately
ncqualnted with every nook nnd cran
ny and water course of bis difficult
country until, when he once more j
emerged in 1002, ho probably possess
ed more intimate personal knowledge
of Mexico than nny other living man.
He finished this survey and map
making work with the rank of a brig
adier general.
Bravery Unquestioned.
General Huerta was born in Chi
huahua about sixty years ago. Ho is
married and has several children.
In personality General Huerta is a
man of strong will and a severe dis
ciplinarian. While recently the state
ment has been made that his supre
macy in tho Mexican government has
made him wealthy; on the other hand,
ho is said to bo comparatively poor.
His personal bravery is unquestioned,
as Indicated by his act in saving a
small community of foreign residents
from rebel attack while In command
of the southern troops under Presi
dent Diaz. With but a few accompa
nying him, General Huerta rode
through tho rebel lines in an automo
bilo and returned at tho head of a
force sufficient to drive off tho attack
ing body.
FIND COMPLETE FRAME
OF PREHISTORIC ANIMAL.
Skeleton of Horned Dinosaur Un
earthed In Alberta, Canada.
Enough bones of tho monoclonius,
or horned dinosaur, have nt last been
unearthed from tho Bed Deer river rej
glon in Alberta, Canada, to form the
first completo skeleton of tho prehis
toric creature. Barnum Brown of the
staff of tho American Museum of Nat
ural History, Jn New York city, has
Just returned with n carload of bones
of tho dinosaur and other mammoth
animals which flourished In tho Bed
Deer river region somo 3,000,000 years
ago, It is estimated.
Fragments of tho bones which now
mako .up the first completo skeleton of
the monoclonius were first discovered
in, 1870. Tho skeleton completo shows
that tho creature stood about five feet
high and was fifteen feet long.
Brides the monoclonius thoro were
found parts of three new species of tho
horned dinosaur and sufficient material
to completo tho skeleton of nn anky
losaurus, a weird creature, which had
a1 coat resembling a suit of armor and
carried a sorj of club nt tho end of its
tail. Tho discoveries made the dl
nosaurus collection of tho Natural His
tory museum tho finest of tho sort in
tho world.
Artist's Picturs Drovo Him to Suicide.
Fearing ho was becoming a living
likeness of his own painting of a hu
man derelict, Albert B. Schults, for
inany years a prominent skptch artist
rn Now York city, committed suicide,
Schults, whose pictures until only a
fow years ago were sought by the pop
ular magazines and illustrated jour
nals, was one of the last of the old
school of artists who did their work
em wood blocks.

But This Really Happened.
"Son," said tho man in the automo

house, "is this the right road to Geo
Tllle?" "Yes, sir," answered tho farmer's
boy.
"How far is it from here?"
"Well, sir, if you keep on goin' 1
reckon it's nbotit 24,083 mile, but if you
turn back an' go the other way It ain't
more'n about two. You must have
slipped through It without"
