holidays every opportunity should he seized to prac tice your scouting in the fresh air some of you will be lucky enough to atteud the lone scout camp or some other camp but others who maybe have to stay at home and help on the farm will have to arrange their own camping plans wo recommend that every louie who lives in the country should make a camp site of his own perhaps in the bush on his own farm where he can spend his leisure moments sleep out with his dad or brother or some of his chums and he near at hand to take part in the daily activities that he is called upon to perform at home at

golden text certainly 1 will be with thee exodus 3 12 analysis i a great commission vs 1012 ii the fame ob god vs 1315 iii a cheat man shrinks 4 1012 introduction the great men ol the bible traced their lifetasks back tf the will of god they were distinct ly conscious of a time when they re ceived a call from god to their work usually their call came in a vision of god followed by a commission from him in which the nature of their task was unfolded so it was with moses he was tending his father- inlaws flocks in a lonely part of the wilderness close by the slopes of mount sinai or horel as it was some times called v 12 at the time he- was probably orooding over the op pression of his countrymen in egypt a great sight v 3 attra- bis attention a desert bush or shrub was burning hut was not consumed travelers in thsc jar inform us that certain small bushes of the des ert emit conmbustible gais which when they have given off in sufficient quantities are ignited by the great heat of the eastern sun the flame plays round the branches of the bush which so far from being injured ap pears to enjoy its baptism of lire but to moses this was obviously no natural phenomenon to him it was a sheer marvel god was in the matter little wonder hen that he heard god calling from the bush moses moses his great hour had come a revelation of god now broke upon him that not onv censtituted him a leader of nis people but opened a new and glorious epoch for israel i a great commission vs 1012 god had made it plain thta he was sleeplessly watching the evil plight into which his people had fallen i am come down to deliver v 8 god however works through human agen cies moses was the one chosen for this crisis come now i will send thee v 10 this v the paradox of the divine operation in history it was god who wrought the exodus out of egypt it was moses who carried it out under him i am come down to deliver come now i will send tl ee both of these statements are tiue moses took the measure of the task laid upon him and realized that i was stupendous he was to appear before the great and mighty pharaoh with the demand that his people should ho set free he was also to quicken the desire for freedom in a people already somewhat inured to slavery v 11 who am i that i should go he cried like most of the great prophets he shrank from hi task it was not that he was without sympathy for the project nor that he was inwardly his wavering came from comparing is slender persona resources with the magnitude of the undertaking he was met with the promise of divine nep certainly 1 will be with thee moses was fur ther assured that doubt would pass into certainty and faith into sight when the israelites finally liberated from egypt would worship their g on the slopes of mount sinai by which he was standing this mountain wiys vegarded as gods local habitation hence it was peculiarly sacred ii the name op god vs 1315 moses raised yet another difficulty when he suggested that the people of israel might be incredulous of his mission they would demand his cre dentials above all they would ask regarding the name of the god who had sent him in that day there were lords many and gods many and each had its own proper name how was israel to know that it was not a faise god who had rent moses one would expect god to have answered my name is jehovah this was the pro per name of israels god in place of saying jehovah god answered with an interpretative phrase which in the hebrew language sounded somewhat similar to the name jehovah the significance of gods answer is not realized unless it is translated i will be what i will he profound depths are disclosed in this phrase gods selfmanifestation is not exhausted in the past he is the god of the future the future alone will be able to un fold all that is in the fulness of his being all this may have been very mysterious to the shepherd moses but god met him on more certain ground when he assured him that he- was tho same god whom the ancestors of israel had had io do he was thc god of the past as hi had been with the patriarchs in the past so he would he with the people of israel now and ever these grae us ideas would always be iissociatjd with hit name v 15 iii a great man shrinks 4 101 one commentator has counted foui difficulties raised by moses in con nection with the task assigned him his shrinking from his godgiver commission may be taken as the me is ure of the seriousness with which h finally assumed the work the diffi culty here raised refers to his lack f persuasive powers the art of fluent persuasive speech would be needed with one like pharaoh v 10 god in reply reminded moses that mans faculties all find their source in his sovereign will v 11 not only will he endow moses with the gift of speech but he will suggest as occa sion arises whatie hould speak 1 will be with thy mouth god wijj sc inspire moses that the words of his ihbu will be the words of god him self i offended george dreadfully ilavo

river here it was past midnight f wish i had money droned tho bore id travel well said she reaching for her purse how much do you need new york while he role of iron i the maintenance of health has long been recognized the possle partici pation of the element in biologic reac tions has only recent- become clearly r vealed according to the journal of the american medical association today we are justified in assert ing that iron is an essential dietary constituent not forthe produc tion of blood and muscle hemoglobin but also for necessary components of all cells the writer says that is why its availability in foods and ita metabolism in the body command par ticular attention it is merely neces sary to mention some of the questions that come to mind in this connection i order to realize the importance of the subject how much iron is in tho human body at different ages what are the available sources of iron how r uch is needed for maintenance and for growth and how arc these re quirements affected by diflent condi- tinis does the amount of ron in the food have any influence on growth the answer to such problems is complicated by the analytic difficulties that attend the chemical investigation of the distribution of iron a recent writer has well pointed out that the estimation of iron in biologic mater ials is a difficult undertaking because a rapid and accurate method still re mains to be attained although the re cent improvements that have been in troduced are promising reported analyses of biologic materials for iron must be critically examined in tho light of the analytic method employed and some of the results in the older literature have been di carded because of improbable analytic values ac cording to this reviewer the iron con tent of the body at maturity is cal culated at about 15 gin more or less most of which can be accounted for by the blood between the first and twentyfirst years the latter age is tcken for convenience 4000 mg of icon is retain d distributed over twenty years this amounts to an actual daily growth of 18 mg of iron the adult has the opportunity for such a wide rangein the choice of his food that the problem of his require ment of iron is perhaps not quite so circumscribed as that of the growing child whose regimen is dictated in larger degree by those who provide his less diversified sustenance until re cently tho only modern balance obser vations in childhood relating to the iron requirements have been those of rose and her collaborators at teach ers college in new york consider able surprise was occasioned several years ago when they reported that even in dietaries that might have been considered perfectly satisfactory the daily inclusion of oc egg yokejwr child resulted in better development and in slightly higher hemoglobin figures careful metabolism studies with respect to iron were subsequently made on one child a girl aged 2 years and 7 months these showed mint on a daily intake of 4g4 mg of iron a negative balance of 110 mg resulted the authors have estimated without further evidence that 850 mg would not only be sufficient to bring about iron equilibrium but also allow for growth this figure amounts to 070 irg of iron per 100 calories of ingested food mckay has reported an aver age of 817 mg of iron in the diets of lireschool children in private homes as compared with 437 nig in the dicls of children in an institution the mosfrecent essay in this im portant field of research comes from the university of minnesota where leichsenring and flor have conduct ed typical balance experiments in which the utilization of iron at two levels of intake was compared in healthy children ranging in age from 30 to 5g months this is the charac teristic preschool age the results of the food analyses indicate that tho iron content of foods may show con siderable variation from the most commonly used figures diets that were planned to cemtain 5 and 85 mg of iron actually contain ed only 025 and 05 mg on a diet containing 825 mg of iron an average of 12 mg was retained daily where as on a diet containing 05 mg of iron 32 mg or nearly three times as much as during the period of lower iron in take was retained the observed maintenance need of the children in this study was approximately 012 mg per dlogram on the basis of body weight according to leichsenring and flor the maintenance requirement of the child is similar to that of tho adult the iron requirement for growth as observed in this study va approximately 02 nig per kilogram it is customary to allow a consid erable margin of safety above observ ed requirements of tho various in organic elements if this margin is estimated at 50 per cent it would make a standard allowance for chil dren of this ngr of 048 pig per iklo- gram or 002 mg per hundred calor ies or a total of 82 mg daily thu the most careful investigators in this field are in essential agreement as to the iron needs of the preschool child one cannot depend on milk alone for n adequate supply of iron that s vhy the diet chosen should be varied to include as early as proper genef- ous amounts of foods that are com paratively rich in iron
