GOLI>BN TKXT.—When tJioupassestthrouglk the waters, I wm toe wltn thee; and through the rtvereJW shaJl not overflow tuee.-lsaiaJi 43:2. time— Before Christ 1451, in April. I*Utce.— The river Jordon near the head of the Bead Sea. No sooner had Joshua received his sum- mons to the leadership of Israel than he be- gan preparations for crossing the Jordon. The people were directed to ' 'prepare vict- uals,\ and the three tribes, whose portion was already allotted on the eastern side of the river, were reminded of their promise to aid in the conquest of the other side. Meanwhile spies were despatched to view the land and learn the condition of the enemy. These have now returned and made their report of the alarm of .the in- habitants, and that the Lord had prepared the way for sure victory over -them. The camp has accordingly boon removed nearer to the river's bank; and the people, through their officers, instructed respecting the passage. It is well to notice here a peculiarity in the literary style of the writer, found also in other parts of OM Testament history. The conclusion of an event is often antici- pated. The end is announced before the in- tervening circumstances are given. The fifth and sixth verses, for instance, are a summary statement of what is drawn out in more detail in the verses which follow. This causes repetition. But the writer was less eager to keep the order of time than to make it clear that every step was taken at the divine command. Note now the things brought out in the narrative. The preparation required of those who expected a special visitation from God (verse 5).—-On the morrow the Lord would do \wonders\ among the Israelites. In preparation for this, they were to \sanctify themselves.\ To sanctify is to set apart from a common to a sacred use. It carried also the idea of purifying. God was always • teaching his people that they were to ap- proach him with due respect to his holi- ness and glory,- with washings of the per- son and changes of garments and absti- nence from whatever might hinder devout and spiritual exercises of the mind., The sanctifioation here required may have included all this; but the time was short, and doubtless the special reference ia to a preparation of the heart by the re- mtmbraace, confession and renunciation of their sins. God would now have us draw near to him \having our bodies washed with pure water.\ I t is helpful as well asbecom\ ing to put off earthly soil and go with changed garments to the house of God. I t is \a means of grace\ to make one's self clean for the Lord's day. But nothing of all this can take the place of that turn- ing to God in repentance, faith and new obedience which ifl of the heart. To whom and what they were to look for right leading (rerse 6).—The priests were to take up the ark and bear it before them. Where it led they were to follow: keeping ft distance between themselves and it, that all might see \the way by which they must The ark was a ohest which contained the tables of stone on which were the ten com- mandmeats, surmounted by cherubim, and having a cover edged with gold, oalledthe mercy seat. The ark was a symbol of the presence of God. Where it was, there he was supposed to be; a just and strict law- giver, and yet abundant in mercy. \When Israel came out of Egypt the pillar of cloud a|*d of fire symbolized his presence. This haa now ceased. The ark took its place; preceding the people, however, only on special occasions. In itself the ark was nothing; to worship that, or any \holy things,\ would be idolatry; but it was a help to the sense of God's presence. The priests have given plaoe to ministers, whose business now is never to offer sacri- fices, but to go before the people as bear- ers of God's law, and as witnesses to his mercy. The ordinances whioh are of his presence are in their keeping, may help us to see the way; but the is the leader of his people. When his law and grace go before, it is safe to follow on. The purpose of the wonders the Lord was about to do (verses 7-11).—This was sufficient to justify even so great a wonder. No doubt God might have found some other way to bring his people into their land. Nevertheless he chose this way. His thought is not our thought; but it is always wise. One part of his purpose was to magnify Joshua in the sight of Israel, as he had magnified Moses in Egypt and at the Bed Sea. It was important that Joshua should be accredited as their divinely chosen leader; that it should be seen that God was with him. Another part of the purpose was to demonstrate afresh that God, as a living God, was still present with his peo- ple, both able and ready to drive out their enemies before them. In the ninth to the eleventh verses this is specially emphasized. \Gome hither, and hear,\ says Joshua to tne people. \The Lord is about to demon- strate that he is no lifeless idol, but a liv- ing God\; he can and will drive out all the Inhabitants of Canaan: he has a right to do thistjop, for he is \Lordof the whole earth\ The seven nations are mentioned to let Israel know how complete is the work God is to do for them; he will not leave them unprotected or unhelped when Jordan has been crossed. The means by which the passage was effected (verses 13-17).—So soon as the soles of the feet of the priests rested in the Jordan, the waters from above were to be cut off. These should \stand upon an heap.\ This came to pass. It may be that there was some arresting of the current father up. This may be the meaning of the allusion to Adam and Zaretan in the sixteenth verse; the better reading being, \The waters which came down from above rose up, one heap very far off, at the city of Adam that is beside Zaretan.\ Just where these places were can be only con- jectured. It is supposed they were twenty, five miles to the north. Whether God made use of any natural means whatever, as of local distances at points further north, no one can affirm, and is not of importance —else we should have been told. The simple, all-important point made is that the ark, symbolizing God's presence in power and grace, arrested the waters. It stood—that is, God stood—as a bulwark. The waters below emptied themselves into the sea, and there was a broad surface of solid ground on which, in a few hours, all might easily pass over. It was intended that the people should 6ee that it was the Lord's doing: hence the use rnado of the ark, which stood for his presence. There were no other means. Why twelve men were to Be taken out of the tribes, as the people set forth (verse 12), appears in the next chapter. We there learn tbat their business was to take from the river's bed twelve stones wherewith to build a memo- rial of the safe passage. The reality and greatness of tue miracle. —Of this there can be no question. He who believes in a personal God, who made the world, and is in and behind all the forces of nature, can see no difficulty in the way of understanding that God did just what is here ascribed to him.

The fact that tie percentage and amount of its BurpluB over Its liabilities, according to the State Insurance Reports (four per cent, valuation) are larger than in any other one of the five largest life Insurance companies. 2d. The percentage of dividends earned ft_ policy-holders, according to the same Reports, is now, and has been for the last five years, greater than in any other one of these companies. 3d. The Society issues a plain and simple con- tract of insurance, free from burdensome conditions and technicalities, INCONTESTABLE AFTER THRIVE YEARS* 4th. In the event of deaih, a policy which has become incontestable, is paid immediately the receipt of the proofs of death with a 1\ lease of the claim, thus affording pecuniary the family as quickly as if the amount were... » Government bond, and avoiding the annoying delay of weeks and months, and sometimes years of vex- atious litigation, which may have experienced in other companies. 6th, The Society has no contested claims on its books. 6th.
