Emerson says that God once in a
hundred years or so creates a great
man, and then breaks that mold for
ever. Moses was one of God’s great
men. He ranks high in the annals of
men, for no one would make a list of
the world’s greatest men without in
cluding the name of Moses. In the
Congressional Library his statue is
found in the gallery of the public read
ing room with the representative great
men of history. He belongs in that
group, because to a large extent he has
i molded history.
When God starts to create a great i
man He usually commences with his I
ancestry. Moses W'as born a slave, but ;
he was a descendant of Abraham. Isaac
and Jacob. From Ills courageous :
mother, who had through her initiative j
made the unique cradle that floated
upon the Nile and attracted the atten
tion of Fharaoh’s daughter, who hired
her to nurse the beautiful child of the
Jewish people, whom she found when
she went to bathe in the Nile. It was
that mother’s’ teaching about Jehovah
that filled the heart and mind of Moses
to be loyal to the God of his fathers
and his fellow countrymen, who were j
then slaves in Egypt. She planted the
fundamental religious principles in the j
mind of Moses during his early days.
They were destined to mold his whole
career lor after he had made a record
as a soldier, according to tradition, and
had been educated in the universities
of Egypt, there came a day when
Moses exhibited the courage born of
religious conviction He left the court
to become one with his own people.
He took the part of a Hebrew slave who
was not getting a square deal. His
fellow countrymen did not understand
his program to liberate them at that
hour when he “by faith refused to be
called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.”
The stand he took that day resulted
in the death of an Egyptian and his
exile. Moses showed his love of jus
tice when he took the part of Jethro’s
daughters. .Providence brought him
into the family circle of a priest who
evidently was a worshiper of Jehovah.
During the next 40 years Moses became
a shepherd. During the days and
nights, when he was caring lor his
flocks, Moses was learning the roads of
the wilderness, its resources and cli
mate. and the mode of life of its
people. The 40 years as a shepherd
were used by the Lord to complete the
needed preparation of Moses to be the
liberator, leader and lawgiver of his
countrymen. On? Summer day, when
Moses had taken his flock up into the
mountain section of Horeb, where there
would oe found the best pasture at
that season of the year, he was sur
prised by a vision of a bush that
burned and was not consumed. Fire
was a frequent form of divine mani
festation. . Russian pilgrims try to
carry the holy fire from the Church of
the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem back
to Russia. We have an Indian tribe
who boast that their sacred fire has
never gone out during the centuries
that they have wandered or been
driven by our Army from place to place.
Moses -reverently took off his shoes and
approached the sacred fire. The same
custom is followed In the East today
when Mohammedans enter their mos
ques.
Moses Commissioned.
During 400 years God had been hear
ing the cries of His suffering people
and the hour had arrived when He pur
posed to reveal Himself unto them as a
covenant-keeping God. He proposed to
Moses that he leave his flocks and be
come, under God’s direction, the liber
ator, leader and lawgiver of his fellow

THE EVEXTXG STAK, TTASHTXGTOX, I). C.. SATURDAY, JULY 39, 193#.
(countrymen, who were slaves In Egypt
Forty years previous Moses hail started
| a revolutionary movement to liberate
i his fellow countrymen without asking
! for divine guidance. Now, when he was
80 years of age. after he had reflected
for 40 years upon his mistake in trying
| to free them, the call was given to him
j to return to Egypt and become the lib
j erator of his countrymen. He felt that
he was unfit. He £id not consider that
he had the required gifts necessary to '
arouse the slaves so that they would
follow his leadership. He recognized
that he would have to overcome their
distrust, because he was going bacK
without proper credentials.
Jehovah met his objections and
proved conclusively to Moses that He
was sending him as His ambassador to
the court of Pharaoh to bid him to let
His people go. He assured Moses that
He would go with him and that after
he had succeeded in liberating his fel
low countrymen. Moses would bring
them to that mountain, where they
would worship Jehovah. Moses could
no longer plea that he was unfitted for
i the colossal commission after that as
' sura nee. God 's revelation of Himself
: encouraged Moses to make the attempt.
He sought his father-in-law’s sanction
for him to return to visit his people,
but he did not take him into his confi
dence concerning his commision to
free his brethren. Loyal to his com
mission. Moses carried out the instruc
tions given him by the Lord and found
that Gods promises were fulfilled.
Liberator, Leader, Lawgiver.
Moses found that the elders were
ready to listen and by a series of dra
matic events God forced Pharaoh to
permit the slaves to depart. The na
! tion had learned, by the placing of the
blood upon their households, * that
Moses was a safe leader to follow', but
thefr laith failed them when they
reached the Red Sea. In answer to
prayer. God opened up the pathway for
the JewLsh nation to pass over on dry
ground. When the Egyptians tried to
follow them they were drowned and the
nation knew r that they were free. It
took 40 years foi* Moses to develop a
national unity among the escaped
slaves.
His leadership was tested in many
w'ays, but Moses lives in the lives of
men through the laws that he promul
gated at Sinai, where he established
their religious ritual and organized the
nation in civil and religious matters.
No code has ever had the influence
upon the lives, laws and institutions of
men equal to the Ten Commandments.
While he may have summed up what
had been traditional tribal ideals,
Moses compressed Into concise state
ments commands that had given him
his prestige among all courts and
statesmen where the knowledge of the
Old Testament has gone. They pre
sented a twofold division of man’s duty
to God and his fellows that has never
been stated in a clearer or more com
pact manner. Moses showed such anger
at the people’s -worship of the golden i
calf that he taught the nation the ne- i
cessity of rightly worshiping Jehovah j
and the importance that they should;
give to the laws of the nation. He
demonstrated his patriotism in his
prayer for the nation that had failed.
He established, through the advice of
Jethro, a system of jurisprudence that
was the germ of our modern system of
courts and law."'
The people lacked faith at Kadesh
Barnea when they accepted the report
of a majority-of the spies. During their
wandering in the wilderness for nearly
40 years Moses demonstrated his exec
utive ability and loyalty to Jehovah
and the people. When they were about
to enter Palestine, Moses, who had
reached the age of 120 years, was not
permitted to lead them across the Jor
dan, but was given a vision of the
promised land. Alone upon Nebo’s
lofty heights, Moses passed on to be
with Jehovah, whom he served faith
fully as the liberator, leader and law
giver of Israel. He found them slaves
in Egypt; he left them a united and
thoroughly organized nation. Through
out his life he showed the courage of
his faith in away that is worthy of
our following his example.

s Famous Churches of the World
Cathedral—Chihuahua. Mexico
LYING below deep purple moun
tains, its low, flat-roofed houses
dotting the terra. cotta surface
of the valley, the tall campanile
of its cathedral sharply lined
against the dazzling sky of Mexico,
Chihuahua presents to the traveler a
most Oriental effect. Every city in
Mexico reminds one of the East, but
Chihuahua is more distinctively Orien
tal than any other. The meaning of
the word is, “the place where things
are made.” It was anciently called
Taranmara, later San Felipe el Real
and was founded by Diego de Ibarro
in the year 1539.
The chief point of interest is the
handsome parish church (sometimes
incorrectly styled a cathedral) dedicated
to San Francisco. It was erected be
tween the .years 1717 and 1789 with the
proceeds of a tax of one real on the
half pound of silver which wag levied
upon the product of the Santa Eulalia
Mine nearby. This tax, it is said,
amounted to SBOO,OOO. The building is
more than usually lofty for Its width,
as are also the towers, giving an effect
of lightness and grace not common in
Spanish-American architecture.
There is a tradition that an inclined
plane of earth was raised against the
towers as they were being erected, up
which was carried the material used in
construction, and that this plane ex
tended across the whole width of the
plaza before the work was done. Upon
the richly ornamented facade are 13
