10. And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, aoct behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto Jehovah.

11. And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to bring us forth out of Egypt?

12. Is not this the word that we spake unto thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians ? For it were better for us to serve die Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.

13. And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of Jehovah, which he will work for you to-day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.

14. Jehovah will fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

15. And Jehovah said unto Moses, wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the_children of Israel, that they go forward.

When the Children of Israel sou* Pharaoh and the Egyptains pursuing them, they "cried out unto Jehovah"' and at the same time accused Moses of taking them into the wilderness to die. How could deliverance come to people whose minds were so divided?

Deliverance came through Moses, their leader, who looked to Jehovah in full faith that He would not fail His people. One true believer holcling fast to the law can turn defeat into victory;; "One among a thousand, to show unto man what is right for him," can ransom him from destruction.

What is meant by the commandment "Stand still, and see the salvation of Jehovah, which he will work for you to-day"? i We stand still when we refuse to iyield our faith to the onslaught of fear. To stand still is to be confident, assured; of the ultimate triumph of right, and to look for it and watch it come into manifestation. w

Why did Jehovah say to Moses^ "Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak' unto the children of Israel, that they go-forward!'?

The law of life is that victory comes from within man, not from without; Fear is therefore conquered finally through action, never through faltering or drawing bade The Children of.

13. And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not. stand still, and see the salvation, of Jehovah, which he will work for you to-day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.

14. Jehovah will fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

15. And Jehovah said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward.

16. And lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall sro into the midst of the sea on dry ground.

The Israelites Were "sore afraid" when they Were about to be overtaken by the Egyptians. Explain.

When man is working with the elemental thoughts of the natural man he sometimes seems to be nearly overwhelmed by them. At such times, instead of whim-pering and giving up to the slavery of materiality he should stand firm and declare: "I stand still and see the salvation of Jehovah, which he will work for me today. All darkness is dissolved forever."

What is the meaning of Jehovah's command to Moses thai he should lift up his rod and stretch out his hand over the sea and divide its waters so that the children of Israel might go over on dry ground?

Moses is the power in us that proclaims the higher law in the name of Jehovah. The rod represents the power of the Word. Isaiah said, "He shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth." Moses' stretching his hand over the sea symbolizes realization of the power of man over the sea of mortal thought. Thus the way is opened for one to pass out of bondage into freedom.

27. And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morniDg appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and Jehovah overthrew the Egyp-

t i a n s in the midst of the sea. When the Word of Truth has worked in the mor-

tal subconsciousness to a certain point, there is a breaking up of the fixed conditions and a separation between the higher and lower. There is often a sea-son of great commotion in the body when this takes place, and fear is very apt to sweep through the whole consciousness. Then the understanding of the working of the One Mind comes to our aid, and we mentally realize that we are to "fear not," but "s tand still, and see the salvation of the Lord." " T h e Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace." At such times there is little the indi-vidual can do except hold fearlessly to the truth that the Spirit is doing its perfect work, and there is no cause for alarm.

The " s e a " is the negative consciousness, and the " rod " of Moses is the power of the I Am on the universal plane. The Lord, or Higher Law, works in regeneration similar to electricity in a .dynamo. Make yourself a willing instrument by observing the Divine Law, then turn on the current by centralizing your thought upon God as the One Source of life and intelligence, and the forces of Being itself will raise your soul and body to a higher vibration and sepa- 1 rate the material from the spiritual.

Spiritual forces are within. Jesus said, " T h e kingdom of God is within you." Our bodies are the outer of a number of layers of mind emanations, at the very center of which is the formless energy called Spirit. This inner is called " e a s t " in Scripture symbols. So when we read of the Lord causing the east wind to blow, we know that a current of life was sent forth from the center to the circumference, opening the way for the escape to higher planes of manifestation of the Is-real thoughts that have been oppressed there. The destruction of the Egyptians is the natural result of the new order of life estab-lished in the organism. These experiences may occur many times in the life of the individual, but at each engulfment there is a destruction of the lower, or material phase of consciousness, and a realization ot the higher; which means more force, life and in-telligence in every direction.

But we should remember that this new freedom, and the powers thai are opened to the Is-real chil-dren, must be disciplined. We do not jump into heaven at a single bound^The^ " promised land" must be conquered. * *

15. And Jehovah said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward.

16. And lift thou up' thy rod, and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go into the midst of the sea on dry ground.

17. And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall go in after *hem: and I will get me honor upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.

18. And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have gotten me honor upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.

19. And the angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud removed from before them, and stood behind them:

20. And it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud and the darkness, yet gave it light by night: and the one came not near the other all the night.

21. And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and Jehovah caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry land, and the

. i waters were divided. I 22. And the children of

Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hancL *r±rl on their left.

What is signified by Jehovah's say-ing to Moses, "Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward"?

Victory comes from within man, not from without. Each step of our inner or spiritual unfoldment must be ex-pressed in outer activity so that it becomes a part of our equipment for living, and thus a part of our prepara-tion for the next step we are te take.

In what state of mind must we be-come established before we can go forward fearlessly?

In faith and confidence that God is with us. When our faith is in the Most High we have nothing to fear, and can go forth to do all things.

What is the Red Sea, interpreted metaphysically?

It is the "sea of life," the universal substance that is acted upon by the universal life force. The race thought does not understand it ,and looks upon it as a barrier.

What is signified by the Children of Israel's having to pass through the Red Sea? • When we take the first uncertain .steps of escape from sense conscious-ness, and seek to become spiritual minded, we soon come to the "Red Sea," the race belief that life is sepa-rate from God. Before we can con-tinue our progress, we must go "into the midst of the sea on dry ground," that is, gain the realization that our life is divine, that it is firmly grounded in God, Spirit, and that we dwell in Him as He dwells in us.

What opens the way for us to pass safely through the Red Sea of our ex-perience?

Faith in the Spirit of the Christ, here represented by Jehovah acting through Moses.

What is symbolized by the rod of Moses, and by Jehovah's command to him to stretch out his hand over the sea and divide it?

Moses represents here our unfold-ing consciousness of our divinity, and his rod represents the power of the Word. Moses' stretching his hand over the sea symbolizes the realization by man that through his word of com-mand spoken in true understanding he has authority over the "sea" of life and the race beliefs in mortality.

What is represented by the "strong east wind" that Jehovah caused to blow all night?

It is out of the inner life ("east") that the spiritual power proceeds that makes our spoken word effectual. When we speak the word of Truth under the authority of Spirit, we pass safely through and out of the race beliefs in mortality on the solid ground of spiritual understanding ("dry land").
