Object Lessons continued blue border, the same color as the sky, would remind them to look up, and remembering the Lord and His commandments, they would be better able to resist the temptation (Num. 15:38, 39). One commandment which the Lord gave them is found in Numbers 33:52. They were told, “Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places.” Again, in Numbers 33:55, we read, “But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.” It has always been God’s will that His people live different lives from the unsaved people of the world.

In Numbers 20:2, we read, “And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.” The peo ple were angry with Moses and Aaron and said, “. . . why have ye brought up the congregation of the L o rd into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?” (v. 4). A like circumstance had happened to the children of Israel about 20 years before. That time the Lord told Moses to strike the rock with his rod, and when he obeyed, water came out of the rock to satisfy the people’s thirst (Ex. 17:6).

STEADY INCOME WITH SAFETY Wheaton Annuity Contracts yield a high rate of return (up to 8.6%., depending on your age) and assure you of a fixed income for life. Unlike stock dividends, these returns never vary regardless of world conditions—and the College has never failed to meet annuity pay ments when due. The Wheaton Life Investment Plan is highly regarded by people in all walks of life, because a conservative business administration re flects the same dependability which has characterized the spiritual and educational service of the school since 1860. Annuity Contracts may be purchased in multiples of $100 on a Single Life or Survivorship basis. No records to keep, no coupons to clip, and no expense beyond the original investment. And in addition to the generous financial benefits —you have the priceless and eternal satisfaction of knowing that you have made an investment “For Christ and His Kingdom”—that you are having an active share in the training of young people for Christian life and service.
