LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 30
CROSS'NG -THE JORDAN.
LESSON TEXT-Joshua 3:7-17.
GOLpEN TEXT---,!ear thou not for I
am with thee."-Isia 41:10.
The spies sent out by Joshua (ch.
21 were animated by quite a diffeent
motive than that which governed
those who first visited Canaan, and
they brought - back a much differedt
report (Num. ch. 13). - The story of
their experiencie in Jericho with Ra
hab. their escape from her house. and
the incident of the "scarlet thread,"
w*l prove an interesting introduction
fer today's lesson. There are two
suggetions in'the preparation for the
- crossing of. the. Jordan meiltioned in
the first seven verses of this chapter:
(1) It was to be an orderly advance
(v. 4); r.V disorderly crowding about
those vwho led. This was also to be a
sure path, thouyh they had not passed
that way before. for God was leading.
(2) It.was to be a prayerful-advance
(v. 5). Literally, they' ire to, "un
dertake great things.for God-ad -to
expect great things from God."
Jesus Must Lead.
I. The Leader, vv. 7, 8. The cir
cumstances surrounding this episode
are far different from those at the
crossing of the Red sea. Moses' en
counter with Pharaoh' lihd stimped
him as the one who shd6d save th
natign. True, in the battles and In
- his association with Moces Joshua
had occupied a position of leadership,
but now he is to deliver Israel from
the death of the wilderness into the
life and possessions of Canaan, hence
the words, "I will, magnify thee In
the sight of all Israel." It is notice
able. however, that Joshua did not
lead this forward march, but rather
the priests. The ark which they bore
is a type of Christ . and 'ie'must-al
ways lead. Jehovah magnified Joshua
because Joshua had magnified Jeho
Vah. see I. Sam. 2:30, John 17:4, 5.
It. Those Led, vv. 9-13. Joshua at
once communicates Jehovah's order
for a forward march to the people (I.
Thess. 2:i3).-But- God graciously -ac
companies his word by a visible mani
festation of his presence (v. 10, 11)
cf. I. John 1:1. Col. 2:9. It was the
word and presence of the "living
God" (v. 10) that was to work this
niraele, and to accomplish the victo
rious possession of the land in ac
cordance with his own sure promise.
This lesson is a greatulesson of
types. God, throirgh the leading of
his priests bearing the ark (a type of
Christ), leads man from the failures
of his wilderness experience, through
death (the Jordan), into newness of
life (Canaan), Rom. 6:4, 9. Previous
ly the mention of the names of these
enemies (v. 10) had so frightened
Israel that they turned aside in a
panic, but Israel had been learning
in the bitter school of discipline and
failure. ''The Lord of all the earth"
(v. .11) is to lead, why then fear?
There~was, however, to be a test, viz.,
the path was not to open until their I
-feet- were in the waters. There was
no such test at the Red sea, for they6
did not then have sufficient faith, I.
Cor. 10:13, I.'-Peter 1:7.
Israel's One Way.
Ill. The Dry Ground, vv. 14-17.. Up
until the moment they' stepped into
the water, priest and people alike re
*lied upon the bare word of Jehovah,
I. Sam. 15:22. We, too, will surely-.
find a'way of escape if we yield him
implic'it obedience, Isa. 43:2; 1. Cor.
10:13. As if to heighten this miracle
we need to remember it was the sea
son of flood tide (v. 15). The river
Jordan is a great type of the judg
ment passed upon sin. Verse sixteen
tells us that the waters were backed
up beyond "the city of Adam." Our3
Joshna delivers not only us from all
sin- but his deliverance is also suffi
cient for the whole human race, Heb.:
9:28, I. Joh'n 1:7. Our~ deliverance is
complete, let us praise him. The
Jordan would not, however, have
opened had those bearing the ark
paused upon the bank. The people
could not have been delivered except
as the ark remained in the river bed.3
Jesus went into the waters for us, 2 3
Cor. 5:21; Gal. 3:13. He has con
demned sin for us, Rom. 8:3. He
alone has opened a pathway for our
deliverance. There was no other way*
whereby Israel could be delivered and:
further they were delivered "right
against Jericho", (v. 16) viz., before3
their next big task, and "all the na-3
tion were passed clean over Jordan"
(v. 17), John 17:12.
Representatives of each tribe (eh.
4) carried from the river twelve 3
stones for the building of an altar so:
that the history of that deliverance
might be perpetuatedl.
IV. The Lesson. In this lesson we
are brought, in company with Israel:
into the land at last. .Abraham saw
and believed. Jacob and his sons:
left it when threatened with moral
contamination and physical death/
Mfuch has happened since that- time,
but God's purposes have gone on un
changed. Nor has Jehovah ever been
defeated. Israel is delivered because,
in the language of Ps. 114:2, "Judah
became his sanctuary, Israel hIs do -
winion." Note how Ps. 114:3 united :
forty - years of history. "The sea saw.
it .and fled: Jord~an w'as driven back."
Thiis is 'the fhi' ry of Israel.

Take Away Unused Sugar.
People in 'rance when they dine at
restauranti frequently appropriate the
sugar they don't happen f, use. Sugar
in France is dear, and what is served
with the coffee belongs; by right, to
the purchaser as much as the coffee
itself. So why not take a lump or
two home to little Jeanne or Pierre?
Few things are more delightful than
a holiday which has been well-earned
by conscientious, earnest work, brave

plete change in surroundings, inter
ests and occupations should be part
of a beneficial holiday. Resting does
not mean Idleness or cessation from
activities or companionship.

The Woman's Tonic
Cardul helps women in time
of greatest need, because it
contains ingredients which act
specifically, yet gently, on the
weakened womarily organs.
So, if you feel discouraged,
blue, out-of-sorts, unable to
do your household work, on
account of your condition, stop
worrying and give Cardui a
trial. It has helped thousands
of women -why not you?
