The BOOK O» JOBHTJA was named from its chief hQro. |Thelre:i0i however,; a Jewish tet^tttttflhat thftt hero was its author; that —excepting, of course, the portion which relates to his death—it was written by Joshua himself. \Whether this tradition is correct, is not, howeyer, a question of primary importance. The historical accu- racy of the book, and its right to a place in the Old Testament canon, have never been The PLACE of the events narrated in these verses, waB a rich plain at the foot of the mountains of Moab, on the eastern side of the river of Jordan, near its mouth. It could not bare Bee* far from here that Elijah smote the waters so that they parted, be- fore he was wrapt from sight in the fiery chariot; and that Jesus was baptized. ' The TIME, according to the common chronology, was 1,451 years after the exo- dus from Eavpt. The wilderness wander- ings had ended. The children of Israel had reached the borders of the land of promise. It was an important and critical point in their history. The enemie* to be driven out were many and warlike, and knew their ground. Had Israel the courage and strength to cope with such foes and conquer, to take possession of the inheri- tance now right before them ? In the first part of these verses we have a new &*#• wmmM*. Why had they Beea#fi#w^e«ier ? Moses was dead. Great and good men die. They do their work and'pass on. Often they fall when their experience and wisdom and force seem most needed. But the best are not indispensable to God's cause. He who en- dorsed and trained Moses was not strait- ened in resouroes. . ^hOiWMthe leader? Joshua, the son ©*Ntra, Of the tribe of Ephraim. His name, Jehoehua, or Joshua, signified \God's sal- tation.\ Jesus is another form of the name; and Joshua, in his great work, is often treated as a type of Christ, our leader through battles and conquests into the heavenly Canaan. He died at one hund- red and tea years of age (24:29), and must now have, been nearly eighty-five. He was, therefore, more than forty at the time of the exodus. His early life was that of a bondman in the brick-fields of Egypt. He thus bore the yoke in his youth. He shared the trials of the wilderness journey- Lngs, and was already a reoognizM leader. At Bephidim, he commanded the forces Which defeated Axnelek. Of those sent to spy out the land of Canaan, he was one of the two who had the sagacity and courage ftjjta back a good report.

He had also dlsol- Slined powers, and a faithful spirit. There fa no stein on hia character or Hie. There is not a purer, wiser, nobler record on the Old Testament pag«s than his. God la s need and use for such men. In this world they are leaden in what i» good. They will be \rulers over many cities\ in the • next. How did God call him? The voice of prbvidenoe is the voice of God. To those who are sure of the purity of their motives, » strong Impression on the mind in con- naction with circumstances shutting them up to a given work, may he accepted as a divine oalL Joshua had before been set apart as the successor of Moses. He may now have had an inward revelation telling him the time had come to assume-active command. We have next, in these verses,' a great work assigned. \Arise and go over this JordanTSou and all this people.\ The land of Canaan had long before been desig- nated as the inheritance of Israel. It was a good land, a type of the heavenly rest. The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof. He gives it to whom he will; but a lasting tenure is always conditioned on obedience. The present oocupants of Canaan had not fulfilled the conditions, they had not kept the vineyard of the Lord as his. Worse than that, their cup of in- ipjuity was full. They were corrupt, and ooxruptors. The world could not safely bear them longer. It was a mercy to ex- tirpate them. The vineyard was therefore gived to Israel. The promised inheritance was broad as well as rich. The words of verse 4 suppose a boundary line drawn from the desert of Arabia, on the north, to the river Euphra- tes on the one hand, and the Mediterranean Bea on the other. But this inheritance was given not to their passive acceptance, and Indolent, easy enjoyment. God gives neither earthly nor heavenly treasure to that. It was given to their courage, sa- gacity, energy; specially to their obedience to God's will. In gracious purpose the whole territory was theirs. As an actual possession they would only have \every place that the sole of their foot should tread upon.\ To Joshua was assigned the leadership of Israel in this work of conquest. It was a great work; never completely done. Many of the Canaanites were never driven out; with them the tribes to an extent intermar- ried; not a few remained to vex and corrupt those who should have done their work more thoroughly. The boundaries here named were never actually gained. So loss and trouble now come of want of thoroughness ia driving spiritual foes from our own hearts and lives. In the next verse we have a cheering promise (v. 5). Joshua could not have re- ceived his summons without profound emotions and great fears. Thoughtful and good men can never assume high responsi- bilities without sober and anxious thought. Only the shallow oan be light headed in such moments. The Lord made haste to support what might have been the fainting heart of Joshua by just the assurance he now needed. \God would be with him, as he had been with MOSBB.\ His presence with Moses had been wonderful. Moses was dead; but the same God still lived, and on him his successor might confidently lean. It was not chiefly his natural gifts whioh made Moses so wonderful a leader; it was the constant presence of God. What pres- ence and power remained! It now re- mains: for us in spiritual conflicts and work, it is available—if we desire and seek it. Then, note that the promised help was to be both resistless and never-failing. •'None should be able to stand before him^ God would never fail nor forsake him.\ Here is almighty aid; always at hand when needed; never exhausted. What God commands he empowers us to do: he stands by us to the end. The last verseB bring to view some great conditions of success. The words rendered prosper and have good success, in the seventh and eighth verses, are not the same as that rendered prosperous. The margin gives the more correct meaning as do wise- ly. The ultimate sense is, however, the . same: for what is wisdom but the choice of the best means to the. best ends ? and what is this but the highest success. The conditions named may be summed up in two: loving obedience, and trusting courage; obedience springing from the fear and love of God, and courage rooted in faith in his presence, and faithfulness tc his promise. Courage is put first and last; the injunc- tion to it is twice repeated. Joshua was not a coward, but he would have need of special courage at every step. In temporal and spiritual things there is now no suc- cess without it.
