MOSES HONORED IN HIS DEATH

XC— What the World Uwu Moses.

whom the
I Greater Prophet (Deut. 18:15-18), of
I whom Moses was a type, he stands aa
i the greatest prophet of Israel.

macy with God (v. 10),

j home. Though Moses was a great man
he was not exempt from death.
2. The burial of Moses (v. 6).
God buried him. Moat likely thia
service was performed by the angels.
Likely, this Is the time and circum-
stance when the devil contended with
Michael, the archangel, over the body
of Moses (Jude 9).
3. The time of mourning for Moses
(v. 8).
They mourned for thirty days. It It
not wrong to lay away earthly friends
even with tears, but as Christians we
should not mourn aa those who have
no hope. Indeed, ft is much better to
express our appreciation and love for
our friends by showing the proper
courtesy and respect while they are
■,,aJUe. t)taa to mourn over them when
they are dead.
III. The Successor of Moses (v. 9).
Joshua, who had been the minister
of Moses during all the years of the
wilderness journey, now became the
military leader of the Israelites. That
Joshua was a lit man as a leader of
tiie Israelites Is seen.
1. By the fact that he was full of
the spirit of wisdom.
While the Ixtrd is not dependent up-
on human wisdom, He does select ns
| His representatives men wl'ori^He has
endowed,with the proper wisdom.
2. He was divinely ordained for the
work at the hand of Moses, “for Moses
had laid his hands upon him.”
This he had done nt the command
of God (Num. 27:18-21).
3. The people owned him aa their
j leader. “The children of Israel heark-
ened unto him, and did as the Lord
| commanded Moses.”
In order for successful leadership a
ruler must have the Individual affec-
tion and allegiance of the people.
IV. Encomium Upon Moses (vv.
10 12).
In this eulogy Moses Is given a place
at the head of the Old Testament
prophets. With the exception of the
Faith
What a wonderful ship Is faith. She
discovers worlds beyond snythlng
found by Colambo* What a freight
she carries. Riches beyond the treas-
ures of Solomon’s ships of gold. To
what a glorious realm she transport*

Lord knew face to face.”
2. He was great in that he gave to
! the world a code of laws unequaled In
i the world's history.
3. He was great aa a general In
that he lilterated the Isrnelltlsh nation
from the oppression of the greatest
nation of the earth.
4. He was great because he led two
or three million Israelites through tbs
desert for forty years.
5. He was great because he gave to
us tn the book of Deuteronomy three
orations which, according to the judg-
ment of competent critics, stand at the
bead of the world's literature.
I. Moses Views the Promised Land
I From Mount Pisgah (vv. 1-4).
At the Lord's bidding Moses ascend-
' ed the mountain from which he got a
| view of the promised land. He obeyed,
though he knew that he was to die
I there (Deut. 32:90). He greatly de-
sired to go Into the land (Deut. 3:25),
j but graciously submitted to the will
i of the Lord. Though he was not per-
| mltted to enter the land, God gave him
i a view In its fullest dimensions of the
! land which was to be the Inheritance
of the people which he had delivered
I and led for forty years. The reason
given by the Lord for refusing an en-
i trance Into the land was Moses' failure
to sanctlfy.the Lord at Meribah (Deut.
| 82:51, cf. Num. 20: 1-13). This was
j too glaring a sin for the Lord to pass
rover, though Moses had served Him
I faithfully for many years.
I li. The Death and Burial of Mease
| (vv 5-9).
1. His death (v. 5).
Though he died In the vigor of man
j hood, his work was done. He did not
die before his time. God put him Inta
: the world for a purpose, and as soon
; as that work was done He called him

22— Charles Goodnight, owner of
the famous Goodnight ranch, I.nine of
buffalo, and experimenter in crossing
buffalo and cattle to produce "catffio."
23— X. A. Maverick, whose name is
applied to any cattle that bear no
brand. He bought a small herd In
the 40's, but a negro ' e employed was
so careless that he had to sell the
few that remained from the hundreds
stolen by rustlers.
81—W. T. Waggoner, whose brand
was used on 25,000 horses and 100,000
cattle In 1895 after he had started In
business with only 242 cows, 6 horses
and a fifteen-year-old negro herd boy.
for the stamp of pr >prietorahlp em-
blazoned tn bold characters on the
bide of the animals. So Texas is com-
memorating the longhorn and the
brand he wiore with the unique Idea of
••branding” Garrison hall, the new
half-mllllon-dollar classroom building
at the University of Texas, with the
symbols of Texas' greatest Industry.
More than 20.009 cattle brands tjso ’
at some time or other In that state
were examined by E. W. Winkler, um
versify librarian, who spent six
months at the task, and from that
number 32, representative of some
step In the progress of Texas history,
were selected to be engraved upon
the white stone walls of Garrison linll.
No. 1 of the collection is appropri-
ately the "Austin Spanish” brand of
Stephen F. Austin, the “Father of
Texas.” The other thirty, pictured
above, are as follows: 2—Uapt. Rich-
ard King: 3— Maj. George W. Little

the scanty grazing they were accus-
tomed to range over a wide territory.
When the Mexican ranch owners
were driven out of the lower border
of Texas after the Texans had won
their Independence In 1836, many
thousands of these cattle roamed the
wilderness for a quarter of a century.
They were almost as wild as deer
when the re-establishment of ranches
in that region took place. Even then
they were never domesticated in the
true sense of the word, and when the
Civil war called neatly all of the able
bodied men of the Ix>ne Star state
away to battlefields In other states
and left the herds in charge of boys
and old men, the longhorns began to
break away from what little “clviliza
tion" they had known and run wild
again. The rounding up of these wild
herds and driving them overland to
Kansas shipping towns In the late six-
ties marked the beginning of the epic
cattle trade and laid the foundations
of Texas' prosperity.
It Is Interesting to note that Texas
not only Is making an effort to save
, the longhorn from extinction, but that
It is preserving Its memory In another
way. Without branding, successful
operation of the cattle business would
, have been impossible, for Mexican

The full history of these brands
would fill volumes, but here are some
of the outstanding facts connected
with some of the better known ones:
5—S. B. Burnett, whose brand of
the four sixes resulted from his win-
ning a large ranch In a poker game in
which he held “four of a kind."
9—Jose Antonio de la Garza, the
oldest brand, was obtained from the
Spanish government hy Leonardo de

drove cattle from Matagorda county
on the gulf and whose steers were
known from the Rio Grande to the
Canadian line as “Shanghai Pierce’s
sea Hons.”

the Civil war.

BoL’T four years ago there
appeared In a newspaper ■
in San Antonio, Texas, in
the heart of the cattle
country, au item headed
“The Passing of the Long-
horn," which read as fol-
lows :
The Texas longhorn is no more. To-
day this noble creature has taken its
place along with the other outstanding
figures of the romantic pioneer days ot
early Texas. The foundation and basis
of the atate's greatest industries, the
nucleus of a thousand herds upon a i
thousand hills in years gone by, and
the one-time pride of the range. Is to-
day but a memory, succeeded by a fat.
sleek tribe of Merefords and other
breeds that graze the open range.
What changes time can bring! A
glance into the past and the mind sees
the march of events In a never-ending
panorama passing before the eyes. The
day of the Indian and the buffalo, long
since passed Into oblivion; the advent
of the longhorn steer, the birth of the
great cattle industry and then the
passing of a creature that brought the
great West through the days of hard-
ship.
Whether or not there was any di-
rect connection between t^ls^valedic-
tory and the action taken nertmtiy by
the Texas Folklore society is. un-
known, but the fact remains that, it
was a statement of what was in the
minds of mauy Texans—the fact tint
a picturesque animal and one which
had played an important role in the
history of the Lone Star state was in
danger of extinction. So the Texas
Folklore society at its meeting this
year passed a resolution recommend-
ing that the legislature -appropriate
sufficient funds an J provide adequate
means “to preserve in its purity for
futu.e generations the Texas long-
horn breed—the most historic breed
of cattle the world lias ever known.”
Back of this resolution is the move-
ment to save the longhorn by collect-
ing as many as possible of the surviv-
ors and placing them upon a well-
protected preserve. A start toward
that already has been made. The nu-
cleus of a herd hits recently been
placed In the Wichita National Forest
reserve by Will (’. Barnes, a veteran
cowman, now connected with the for-
est service of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. So it ap- !
pears now that the Texas longhorn Is '
to escape the extinction which once
threatened the buffalo, had not the
American people l>een aroused to the
danger just In time.
Not long ago a newspaper dispatch
Stated that a herd of 2.000 Texas long-
horns had been shipped from south
Texas to Kansas, but old-timers, who
should he In a position to know, de-
clare that It is doubtful If a tenth
of that number of genuine longhorns
could fie found If a census were taken.
Nearly every wild-west show or rodeo
exhibition company has a few and
there are a few running wild In va-
rious western states, especially their
native heath of Texas. But, say the
old-timera, the true longhorn is so
scarce that It is now a curiosity even
to the cattlemen of Texas. And these
are all that are left of the thousands
that the Texas plains once knew.
Just where the longhorn originated
Is unknown. Tradition has it that
they descended from the original
herd of Spanish cattle which stocked
the ranch of Hernando Cortes, con-
queror of Mexico, on the Isthmus of
Tehuantepec, nearly 400 years ago.
They were a hardy, rangy, fleet-footed
breed, whose long herns enabled tlimn
