"Lives of'great man all remind
■*.” according to the poet, that wa
too may make our lives sublime,
and thus leave our footprints in the
shifting sands of time. The study
of biography is Interesting, instruc-
tive, and often challenging. When
we enter the field of Bible biography
we bring into consideration an ad-
ditional and fundamental factor,
namely, the power and grace of
God working in and through a sur-
rendered life. All strength of char-
acter and ability is a gift of God,
but its glory is largely veiled and
its usefulness definitely limited, if
not actually perverted, because
there is no recognition of the
foundation of true greatness, which
is faith in and loyalty to God.
During the next three months we
ere to share in the study of the life
stories of great men and women
which will not only stimulate am-
bitions. but which also reveal what
God can do through those who are
ready to follow Him.
Moses, God’s great leader for Is-
rael, having brought them out of
the land of bondage and through the
terrible wilderness, is about to
leave them. God’s workman is about
to die. but His work Is to go on,
God is not taken by surprise.
I. A Prepared Man Takes Com-
mand (1:3-6).
"Moses Is dead: now therefore
arise.” Life is like that. "The
king is dead: long live the king,"
is the cry of those who live under
monarchies, as one ruler dies and
his successor takes over the throne.
Until that day when there shall be
"time no longer,'' men mAst put
away their sorrow and go on. Three
words character • the commission
of Joshua —
1. Promise r.'.' 3 4). God gave
the land to 1 :■!. Every place that
Joshua pi.mled his foot upon was
to be his possession, even as God
has promised Moses. A river lay
between; there were walled and
armed cities to be taken; i re
were even giants in the land, out
God promised it to Joshua; and i>«
look it by faith.
God has given us many promises,
too. If we are fearful, poverty-
stricken. powerless Christians, It lg
because we do not believe God. j
2. Tower <v. 5). No man Is abla
to stand against God's servant who
Is doing God's will, in God’s way,
in God's time. It was true of Joshua;
1) is true today. Men set up their
opposition to God s plan and pro-
gram with the assumed belief that
because they have position, power,
or money, they can readily crush
!he poor little band of Christian
workers. Russia tried it They even .
"abolished” God. But religion
thrisre* In Russia, secretly perhaps, 1
but none the less sincerely and suc-
cessfully. There is no power of man
or devil that can defeat the man
who docs the will of God. ^
3 Courage <v. 6). To serve God
means to be assured of His help.
Faith lays hold of that fact and the
whole man becomes courageous.
But observe that the foundation ol
courage is faith in God's Word,
nurtured by meditation in it “day
and night” (v. 7). The house of
courage can be built only on that
foundation. £
II. An Experienced Man Given
Counsel (*4:14-21).
Mora than two decades have
pasied since the appointment of
Joshua to lead Israel. Oof has fut* t
filled every promise. Israel Is la
the Promised Land. Before the aged
leader dies he calls the leaders of
his people together to urge them te >
continue In the way of faith end
loyalty to God. This he doea byi
1. Example (v. 18). "As for me 1
and my house, we will serve thel
Lord." No man can honestly and ,
effectively call others to devotion to
the Lord unless he sets them an ex-
ample. No one takes any stock I
in the preacher or teacher who :
says, “Do as 1 say, not as I do." !
Wa are more then signposts; wa are
guides.

Pass The Wo* Around-
Shop At Home
In Mullin and Mills County-as elsewhere-it is the
women who buy 85 per cent of everything that's sold in
retail stores.
What an opportunity this gives Mullin women to
help build up Mullin.
By spending here at home what their husbands
earn at home, Mullin women have it in their power to
make this one of the brightest spots in this section.
Mullin women have it largely in their power to de-
cide how many people will get and hold jobs with Mul-
lin enterprises—how much money will circulate in Mul-
lin trade channels-how much.taxes will be paid to
maintain Mullin schools, and in the last analysis how
much their own income will grow in Mullin.
You may think it doesn’t matter if you go out of
town to buy a dress, a pair of shoes, a hat, or a piece of
hardware or furniture. But remember-it’s the aggre-
gate of many little purchases in Mullin that makes busi-
ness active or makes business bad in Mullin. It is the
example which you set that your friends will follow.

patronize home institutions—from the purchase of a
loaf of bread to the building of a home.
