THE K I N G ’S B U S I N E S S where they could buy food. Who can tell nie how they were fed, and what kind of food they had to eat? (R ev iew ). Now in our story today these same people are in ano th er place n ear the mountains, and you remember God had pu t Moses as leader of His people Israel, to lead and guide them ju st like P resi den t Wilson is a t th e head of our coun try to lead and guide us. When any of the people of Israel got into trouble, or did no t know w hat to do they would come to Moses and he would tell them ju st w h at to do. W ith such a big crowd of people it k ep t Moses very busy all day from morning un til n igh t ju st answering the people’s questions, so Moses chose a number of the wisest men and made them his helpers. Moses asked th e people to go to these men whom he had asked to be helpers w ith th e ir questions, and only when they had real h ard questions did they go to Moses. This made it a g rea t deal easier for Moses, and gave him tim e to do many o th er things th a t God wanted him to do. The Bible tells us we should help others, and our memory verse for today comes in ju^t rig h t here. Let us learn it. B ear ye one an o th er’s bu r dens.

I t does not m a tte r so much where one serves ju st so he is serving. God has a place for each one of us, a special work for us to do. “The harvest, tru ly is plente ous b u t th e laborers are few.” May wet apply ourselves to the unfinished task th e Master set fo r us, going forw ard under His leadership, working in h a r mony w ith those whose purpose is in common w ith our own, w ith constant interchange of opinion.
