BIBLE MEMENTOES.

FOR THE YOUNG.

BY THE REV. ALEXANDER ANDREW, GLASGOW.

"Remember all the way"-Deut. viii. 2.

IT has been well said that while the way by which the Lord led the Israelites to Canaan was right, it was roundabout. It took them forty years to travel it, whereas, had they gone in a straight line, they would have reached Canaan, by easy stages, in a very few days.

It would be too long a story to relate here all the different places at which the Israelites rested in their winding way. But it may be interesting and useful if I point out to you the principal stations at which extraordinary things occurred.

At the Red Sea they saw the Egyptians pursuing them with horses and chariots and glittering spears; and to all appearance there was no way of escape,for hills towered up on either side of them, and the sea foamed before them, and what were they to do! They trembled and murmured. But Moses prayed, and God heard his prayer, and told him to lead the people forward; and lo!-as Moses raised his rod over the waters, they divided, and formed a wall on either side; in between which the people marched on dry ground, over to the further shore: which the Egyptians also trying to do were drowned. The Israelites, seeing how wonderfully they had been delivered, sang a song of praise.

Then, at Marah, there was nothing but bitter water to drink. But in answer to prayer, Moses was shown a tree, which when cut down and cast into the waters made them sweet, and fit for use. Then they came to Elim, where were twelve living wells, and seventy palm trees, beneath which they sat and had a delightful "time of refreshing."

But hardly had they left this oasis, when getting into the wilderness of Sin, they began to feel the pangs of hunger, and to murmur and wish they were away back to the flesh pots of Egypt. And once more God heard the cry of Moses, and sent down Manna, which when gathered every morning was found to be just sufficient for all their need. The Lord also told him to take his rod and strike a rock in Horeb, which when he did a stream gushed out "clear as crystal" for their thirst.

Then in the third month, they arrived at Mount Sinai; on the summit of which God gave Moses the ten commandments, written with the finger of God, and a pattern of the tabernacle. In Moses' absence they took their earrings and their jewels, and made a golden calf, and said "These be thy Gods, O Israel." Moses ground the golden calf to powder, and sprinkling it over the water caused the people to drink it; and, advancing to the gate of the camp, he cried,-"who is on the Lord's side? let him come unto me." And 3000 were slain that day, because of their sin!

At Kadesh, being close upon the borders of the Land of Promise, twelve men were sent forward as spies to make a survey of the land. But when they came back, ten of them gave such a bad report that nearly all the people wept and said, "Were it not 'etter for us to return to Egypt? Let us make a

captain and return." Only Joshua and Caleb said, 'Nay, but the land through which we have passed is an exceedingly good land-a land flowing with milk and honey; and if the Lord delight in us He will bring us into it." Therefore God declared that not one of all those who had left the land of Egypt-from twenty years old and upward-should be allowed to enter Canaan; that all must turn back, and wander for forty years up and down the wilderness, and die there; and then their children, along with Joshua and Caleb, should enter in and possess the land.

After this, because of the murmuring of the people, God sent fiery serpents which bit the Israelites so that many died; but the rest were delivered by looking to the brazen serpent-a grand type of Christ-which Moses by God's commandment made and raised upon a pole. At last, on the plains of Moab, Moses was warned of his approaching death. And getting up to Pisgah, and viewing

"The lovely landscape o'er, "-

he suddenly passed away;-no one saw him die except God, and God buried him. And it was ere he passed away that he gave the people this injunction, to

Remember all the way

by which, for forty years, they had been led by the Lord in the wilderness.

It was not simply Moses, but the Lord that led the Israelites through the wilderness. A pillar of cloud by day, and fire by night went before them; whither it went they went, and where it rested they rested. During all those forty years their shoes and clothes never waxed old, and though in a wilderness where they could neither sow nor reap, they never died from want. God fed them, as well as led them, all along their winding way.

Now, if you ask me why the Israelites were to take this back-look and remember all the way by which they had been led, I would say, It was to humble them -to make them feel how badly they and their fathers had behaved-distrusting God, after all the wonderful deliverances He had wrought for them. He had always kept His word, and proved Himself to be a "very present help" in trouble. Yet what ingratitude they had often shewed in forgetting God's loving kindness! Is not that your picture and mine? For how often we have doubted God, and disbelieved His Word, and shown unthankfulness for all His gifts? We can trust Him so long as things are going on smoothly; but when difficulties arise, how quick we are to doubt and find fault with His holy providence.

Once a girl had a beautiful box of toys. Her father to try her and teach her a lesson of faith—said "Now, my child, if you will burn all your toys, I will bye-and-bye fetch you better ones. And the girl thought: "Oh, it is hard!" and the tears started from her eyes-"but father always keeps his word, and I will do what he bids me." And so, into the fire the toys were put, and she saw them consumed. But in due time the father, true to his promise, brought his little girl a beautiful collection which fairly delighted her; and thus she learned her lesson of faith. So God may seem to ask us to do hard things and suffer much; yet we shall always find it good to trust Him where we cannot trace Him.

Then, it was to prevent them from falling again into similar evils. Sailing over to America in the summer

[graphic]

of 1876, I saw an Island-Anticosta-away in the distance, as we were going through the gulf of St. Lawrence; and on asking the captain why we sailed on one side of the Island rather than on the other, I was told that there was danger on the other side: ships had got their compasses put out of order by mineral attractions on the shore; the remembrance of that led him to keep away from the place of danger. So should you remember the danger of unbelief and ingratitude, that you may keep away from these sins.

But again, it was to impress the Israelites with the great fact that God hears prayer, and that He is a very present help in trouble. For see how often He heard the prayer of Moses-in Egypt-at the Red Sea-at Marah-in the wilderness of Sin-at Horeb-and in the valley of Rephidim where the battle was being fought between the Israelites and the Amalekites. Ŏ it is true

"Prayer makes the darkened cloud withdraw;
Prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw,

Gives exercise to faith and love,

Brings every blessing from above."

Two ministers met one day and prayed in a wood. Their prayers were heard. God blessed them much. They parted; and after long years, one of the two ministers fell into trouble, and sending a message he asked his friend to come and see him. At the time it was impossible; but he sent a letter in which were the two words-Remember Torwood; which gave him fresh encouragement to commit his case to the Lord in prayer,—and he was delivered. Therefore when you are in trouble, pray; and God will help you.

And then, last of all, I am sure you will see that this looking back and remembering all the way was to shew God's ancient people the advantage and blessedness of obeying God at all times and in all circumstances. For was it not by obeying God they were saved, on that awful night of darkness and death in which they prepared to start from the land of Egypt? Was it not by obeying God that they were delivered from defeat and disaster at the Red Sea? Was it not by obeying

God that the bitter waters of Marah were made sweet?

And was it not by obeying God that they were saved from death, when bitten by the fiery serpents-through looking to the brazen serpent that Moses made and raised upon the pole? O there is nothing gained but sorrow by disobeying God! The way of the transgressors is hard. But wisdom's ways are ways of

"pleasantness."

These back-looks are therefore needful and useful. They help to humble us over past sins, to prevent us from falling into fresh sins, to abound in prayer, and earnestly seek to do the will of God. A review of one's life will certainly help to these things. Therefore be

sure sometimes to look back and

Remember all the way.

Life.

Solitude! life is inviolate solitude!
Never was truth so apart from the dreaming,
As lieth the selfhood inside of the seeming,
Guarded with triple shield out of all quest;
So that the sisterhood nearest and sweetest,
So that the brotherhood kindest, completest,
Is but an exchanging of signals at best.

ALICE CARY,

Martin and his Tract.

ONE evening, somewhere about thirty years ago, a boy named Martin was slowly going along a road which led to his home, when he passed a lady, who looked at him rather intently, but did not speak. Now there was nothing in this lady's appearance to cause him to look round after her; for she was neatly and quietly dressed. But still he did so, and to his surprise found she was looking at him. And finding his eyes were directed towards her, she beckoned him to her, and gave him a tract.

Well, Martin took the tract, and read it on the way home. It was a missionary tract in verse. He had It told of the poor never read such an one before. heathen, in all their sins and sorrows, ignorant of the true God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; cruel to each other, even to themselves sometimes, because they had no one to preach the Gospel of good tidings to them, and did not know how their sins could be forgiven. And then the tract begged for help in the great work of teaching these poor, ignorant people.

Martin had a tender, feeling heart, and this tract made a great impression on him. He read and re-read he told her about it, and said, when he became a man it before he got home. And when he saw his mother, he would go and teach the poor blacks.

"My boy, you must first be taught of God yourself," was the pious mother's wise reply.

But it did not damp the boy's zeal. On the contrary, every day for months he read the tract, which he carefully preserved. And so it went on for about a year.

But at length the subject began to fade from his memory. A change in his life had perhaps something to do with this. For he now, being a big boy, was apprenticed to a trade; and for a time, among his young, gay companions, forgot the poor heathen and his resolve. For a time, too, he became thoughtless and careless about religion.

But he was called home on account of his father's death. Looking one day over his father's papers, what should he see, but the same tract carefully preserved! He now again read it. Again he resolved-but now with prayer, and seeking God's help and strength-to devote his life, if possible, to mission work. And God smoothed away one difficulty after another, until Martin was enabled to climb the hill which leads to the training school for mission agents, called the "Pilger Mission, Chrischona," and there prepare for his life's work of leading many to the Saviour.

Not only many of the poor, ignorant, almost heathenish Christians of Abyssinia, but numbers of poor Jews

[graphic]

in that land (some of whom, now Christians, came with him to Europe, to become learners at that very Chrischona Mission House where their beloved teacher had formerly studied), have reason to thank God for the blessing which followed the reading of that one little

tract.

Martin is still alive. Perhaps some day you may know his other name. But one thing I can tell you; and that is, he is quite as much longing to do some more mission work, as he was as a boy to begin it. He would like again to encounter all the perils and difficulties of a fourth journey to Abyssinia: for he longs to comfort the hearts, and strengthen the hands, of the young Falasha converts, whom he taught about Jesus, and who regard him as their spiritual father.

That, dear children, was a blessing on one tract! If the kind lady who gave it to the boy has never known the good work she wrought on earth, will she not be surprised at the large jewel which will adorn her in heaven? (See Dan. xii. 3.)

Little readers, you can try to work for God in this way. You can give a tract, and pray to God to bless it; and who knows, but He may raise up another missionary like Martin ?-The Jewish Advocate.

Reconciled.

Not that my Father gives to me More blessings than in days gone by, Dropping in my uplifted hands All things for which I blindly cry;

But that His plans and purposes

Have grown to me less strange and dim; And where I cannot understand,

I trust the issues unto Him.

And spite of many broken dreams,
This I have truly learned to say:-
The prayers I thought unanswered once
Were answered in God's own best way.

First

Catchwords for May.

Week.-Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O

Israel, My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is passed over from my God?-Isaiah xl. 27.

Second Week.-They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.-Isaiah xl. 31.

Third Week.-The God of all comfort, who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.-2 Cor. i. 4.

Fourth Week.-The Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom. -2 Tim. iv. 18.

RESOLUTIONS.-You cannot make yourself better by simply resolving to be better at some time or other, any more than a farmer can plough his field by simply turning it over in his own mind. A good resolution is a fine starting point, but as a terminus it has no value.
