Here is a gold mine for the preacher, the teacher and the father and mother in the home who have it in mind to inculcate sound teaching, based upon the Word of God, so that the boys and girls of the congregations, Sunday-Schools and households may be thoroughly rooted and grounded in the essentials of the Christian faith. There are many volumes in this series of short addresses and they cover the entire range of the Holy Scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation. The material gathered here is fresh and varied and there is just enough of it to furnish the groundwork of the preacher's sermon, the Sunday school teacher's talk and the parent's reading and comment. Contents: The Happiest Happiness. A Bit Of Red Cord. The Meaning Of A Monument. The Legend Of St. Christopher.

THE HAPPIEST HAPPINESS.
Ye shall pass over before your brethren armed . . . and shall help them ; until the Lord have given your brethren rest.— Josh, i. 14,15
To-day's text is a Bible story which is told no fewer than three times, first in the third chapter of Deuteronomy, second in the thirty-second chapter of Numbers, third in the first chapter of Joshua. And the very end of the story you will find in the twenty-second chapter of the same book. You may never have noticed it — it is such a little story — but it is a very important story all the same, and I want to talk about it this morning.
In the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth verses of that first chapter of Joshua you will find Joshua reminding the tribe of Reuben, the tribe of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh of an old promise they had made to Moses. The time had come, said Joshua, for fulfilling that promise. What was it ?
Some time previously the Israelites had conquered and driven out the inhabitants of the land west of Jordan. And at that time these two and a half tribes had said to Moses, " This land will suit us better than the land across the river, even although that is the Promised Land. This will suit our flocks and our herds.
