The following is a supposed diary of Joshua from the time he stood looking westward across the Jordan , to the day after the fall of Jerico. First Day; I told my people we would pass through the Jordan within three days, and go into the land which the Lord our God giveth us. God has told me he will be with me. I said to the fteubenites and to the Gadites and to half the tribe of iianasseh, The Lord your God hath given you rest and hath given you this land, They answered me saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and withersoever thou sendest us, we will go. Second Day; I have sent two men to spy on Jerico. They lodged at the home of Rahab. I wanted to know as much as possible about the defences. The city had two walls. Fifth Day; The spies brought unexpected news. The king of derico was terrified because we were near, even though they are on guard against our attack. The messengers had escaped through the kindness of Rahab. They told how she had hidden them and they had promised that when we took the city, she and her family should be saved if she wound the same red rope on the bars of the window from which they had escaped. Rahab had heard of the great deeds of Yahweh and believed that he would give victory to his people. Sixth Day; We moved from Sitim to Jordan and we are now camping there. ninth Day; We must cross the river. Yahweh has told me the men who take care of the Ark are to carry it down to the waters edge and step into the river. The Lord is with us. Eleventh Day; When the priests stepped into the water the water parted and we passed over the Jordan. They placed the Ark in the center to show that the Lord was present among us. God put it into my mind to make use of the unusual, though not unnatural, state of the river-bed. I ordered that one man out of each of the twelve tribes should take up a stone from the river-bed, where the men had stood with the Ark, and place them where we spent our first night in the promised land, as a memorial of what our Lord had done for us. On the tenth day of the first month, we encamped in Gilgal. Fifteenth Day; We kept the feast of the passover. Later; I met a man who said, as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. He commanded me to take off my shoes and I did so. For the next six days; Our men of war went around Jerico once each day. Seven priests bore before the Ark seven trumpets of rams horns. Seventh Day; We compassed the city seven times and the priests blew the trumpets. We made a long blast and the people shouted and the walls of the city fell down. We destroyed all that was in the city except Rahab and her family. God has been good to us. -Ruth Horsman

The Qualities of Ideal Manhood Manhood has qualifications like any other attribute you can name. It is not merely growing up, but a long, hard series of learning the many lessons that Life offers. First, I believe, to acquire this coveted position he must be quiet, gentle and loving. By the use of the word ’’quiet , I don’t mean someone who sits in a cor¬ ner and speaks only when spoken to. On the contrary, I mean someone who talks with¬ out loud expressions or drawing unnecessary attention to himself. The word gentle¬ man is composed of two words gentle and man”. Nobody enjoys seeing a fine animal mistreated by someone v ho just hasn’t grown up. Everyone must have some place of pity in their heart for a man who can’t love. This man becomes hard and cold to the many beauties around him. At the same time the man must be a careful, alert and industrious worker. No matter how small or seemingly unimportant the job is, it is worth doing with care. The care makes the work seem important. V hen it is finished a man can view it with pride and say I did that . A man who isn’t alert would miss chances of real service Maybe the item is small but he would miss the satisfaction of feeling he can give. He would forge ahead and gain opportunities to develops himself to his capability. Accordingly, he must be strong and courageous. I don’t mean strong physically but rather against the difficulties and temptations of the world. Courage, is to admit that one is wrong before a person or a group of people. It is essential, also, to go the opposite way, to that of his companions. Lastly, he must have reverence. The creations of God are beautiful, and we should thank the Creator for their being. Some people think that reverencing God is lowering themselves. If only they could realize that true manliness springs from God. Also, that it is not smart to be irreverent about any of God’s creations. Men have one great example of all these qualities, and many more, in Jesus Christ, for He too, was a creation of God. - Fay Kerr - Heaven. What is heaven like? The Bible tells us that heaven is a place of rest and happiness where the righteous (those who love God) will go after Judgement Day to live forever in God ' s love. They won ' t go to any particular place, because heaven is not really a place. When Jesus rose from the dead He went up from the earth. He didn ' t go up becuse heaven was up. He went up because people had the idea that heaven was above us and hell was below usj therefore, in order not to confuse us, He went up and a cloud received Him out of their sight. Heaven is a state of mind. When we are happy we are having a taste of what heaven will be like. When we are sad and depressed we are having a glimpse of hell. We know that heaven must be a beautiful place because all God ' s creation on earth is so beautiful. God ' s presence can be seen in many things, especially in nature. Heaven will be even more wonderful than any happiness we have ever experi¬ enced on this earth because we will be with God. There will be no sin to prevent us from loving Him. In heaven we will not have our earthly bodies, but rather a new heavenly body. This new body will not prevent us from recognizing our loved onesj we will know them just the same. The love we have for people on earth will be made per¬ fect with God ' s love, and we will be even closer to one another than we are on this earth. Everyone will be of one mind with God. All those who love God and strive to do His will, will surely go to heaven and be able to enjoy the wonderful peace He has promised for them in this ever¬ lasting home of love. - Elaine Wilson 47
