Lesson Text, Josh 23:1-13
1 And it came to pass after many
lays, when Jehovah had given reat
unto Israel from all their enemies
round about, and Joshua wa old and
well stricken in years;
2 that Joshua called for all Israel,
for their elders and for their heada.
and for their judge and for their of
ficers, and said unto them, I am old
and well stricken in years:
3 and ye have seen all that Jehovah
your God hath done unto all these na
tions because of you; for Jehovah your
God, he It is that hath fought for you.
4 Behold, I have allotted unto you
these nations that remain, to be an
nheritanee for vour tribes, from the
Tordan, with all the nations that I
hav cut off, even unto the great ea
toward the going down of the sun.
6 And Jehovah your God, he will
thrust there out from before you. nd
drive them from out of your ight;
and y shall noaseas their land, as
Jehoh your Cod spake unto you.
ft Therefore be ye very corae-eous
o Veen and to do all that is written
in the book of the law of Moses, that
turn rot aside therefrom to the
ri-V bend or to the left;
7 that ve com not amon thee

9 For Jehovah hath driven out from
before vou great nations and strong;
hut aa for you, no man hath stood be
fore vou unto this day.
10 One man of yon ahall chase a
thousand: for Jehovah your God, he
it is that fighteth for you, aa he spake
unto vou.

tice, gentleness, humility, and for

Jehovah.
I. Th People Are Summoned (v. 1-2)
After years of war God haa given
his people not only victory but reat.
O, ho wpreciou a privilege to rest
after toil. What can compare with the
relief of tense nerves that followed
the signing of the armistice T We are
told that th men at th front did not
cheer or parade but dropped to the
ground and went to sleep. After vic
tory, rest. We ar also promised rest
after the battles of lif hav been won
in the words, "Com unto m and I
will giv you rest
II. The People Reminded, (vs. 3-5)
Israel waa continually forgetting
God and plunging into Idolatrous wor
ship. Many in our land hav also for
gotten him. Seventy per cent of all the
people living in the United States are
not members of any church, either
Protestant or Roman Catholic. They
have forgotten the one who gives them
their daily bread.
To help us to remember Christ gave
th Memorial Supper on the night of
his betrayal. In partaking of the loaf
and cup, hi spiritual body and blood
we are reminded of the great funda
mental facts of the rospet, which are
his death, burial and resurrection.
III. The People Are Exhorted (v C-ll)
The nation ia instructed to turn
neither to the right hand nor the left.
In every community there ar general.
lv two different parties known aa the
Radicals and the Conservatives. The
Radicals perhaps want to move too
rapidly while the Conservatives are
too slow. A safe course, and the one
here advocated by Joshua, ia to keep

hat we are free' from this sin. but
America is a land of many idols.
They perhaps are not images of wood
brass, gold, or ailver before which the
people prostrate themselves, but too
many are worshiping at th shrines of
Mammon, lust, and fashion.
IV. Results of Disobedience Stated
(vs. 12-13)
God' people can never compromise
with sin in any' form. Whenever they
do they are doomed to humiliating de
feat. We have too many so-called
leaders today who are willing to com
promise the word of God and cut it
to fit the views of any cuss or cult.
