Golden Text: "And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee." Joshua, 3 : 7. Besponsive Heading: — Deuteronomy, 31 : 7, 8, 13, 13; Hebrews, 3 : 1-6. 7 And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the Lord hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it. 8 And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee : fear not, neither be dismayed. 12 Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they 'may learn, and fear the Lord your God, and observe to do all the words of this law : 13 And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the Lord your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it. 1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of oiu" pro- fession, Christ Jesus. 2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. 3 For this man was cotfi^tfd worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he wbo'hath builded the house hath more honor than the house. 4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God. 5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; 6 But Christ as a son over his own house ; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
