JOSHUA IIEXEWIXG TI1E COVEX.tST.Joshua is cmo of tho world's nver-

llvlng heroes. He bursts Into Hebrewhlstory as the successful commanderof Israel's hosts at Rephldlm. Hls ca-rer henceforth is as stalnless as brll-Jllant. Llko Hlm whose name he was

the first mortal to wear, "no fault waa

found in him." The ex-slave from Pha-raoh's brlckyard had prlme opportu-nlties to have enrlched hlmself whenthe partltlon of Canaan was made un¬

der hls own supervision. He prcferano clalm on ground of distinguishedservlces. Re attempta no seouestcringof a fat vlnoyard or lordly nianor. Hoasks only va modest portion ln the bar-ren mountains of Ephrlam. Such dls-interested' patriotlsm has vjiever beensurpassed.Now. after more than half a century

of servlces, mllltary and executlve, tohis countrymen, by infallible tokenshe knows that hls departuro is at liand,He will faln, after the example ofMoses, hls noble chief, project hls in-,iluenco beyond hls mortal llfe. 'Hosum nons his poworB of body, mlnd andsplrlt, and pours them out la a hlatorlcreaume, In dlscrimlnating analysis ofcause of natlonal prosperlty, and anappeal and exhortatlon worthy of Mosesor EHJah.The local envlronmont made a frame

worthy of thls plcture. at once pa-thetlc and aublime. The place wasShechem. where, 100 years before,Abraham. had a tent and God. had analtar.
