Sunday School Lesson by Rev. Charles E. Dunn The Reports of the Spies Numbers 13 and 14 Golden Text: Psalm 27:1 The Israelites were now in the wilderness of Paran, when Moses is commanded by the Lord to select twelve men, one from each tribe, to make a tour of inspection of the promised land. Thus was inaugurated one of the earliest geographical expeditions in history. These scouts made a thorough investigation of both the land's fertile areas and its barren wastes. Their report was comprehensive, but not unanimous. Ten of the spies, while admitting that the land was very rich, nevertheless counseled against attempted conquest. "All the people we saw there," they insisted, "were men of huge size. They made us feel like grasshoppers." (Moffatt's version.) But Caleb and Joshua, who gave the minority report, were made of sterner stuff. "We ought to march up at once," they cried, "and seize the land." Note the grit of this sturdy pair. They had plenty of nerve to oppose a verdict of comrades who greatly outnumbered them. Never was such courage more needed. We are all tempted to follow the crowd like silly sheep. How few will think through for themselves the profound issues at stake in the coming election, and vote accordingly! Most voters will flock to the band-wagon of that candidate whom they think is most likely to win. Secondly, consider the exploring spirit of Caleb and his companion, their penchant for adventure. The Jews were a great exploring people. Now opportunities for travel are very limited for most of us. But we can cultivate our minds. We can develop a hobby. Finally, these men had the confidence of victory. They knew that they were right, that time was on their side. The people, in despair, scorned their advice, and yearned for Egypt. But Caleb and Joshua stuck to their guns and lived to see their judgment vindicated. Under Joshua the children of God did enter Canaan. You and I desperately need, in this time of fear and doubt such confidence in the future triumph of the right. When disheartened let us say, with Gladstone, "I appeal to time."

Los Angeles St. Anaheim, Calif. Walked From L. A. To Tucson, Ariz. (Continued from page 1) all of the corporations field operations, and all of its reservoirs, aqueducts and other improvements have been constructed under his immediate supervision. He is past vice president of the American Society of Engineers and is a personal friend and admirer of President Hoover. During his brief stay at the picnic he was called upon for an address and said among other things that his sister Anna, who was the first white girl born in Anaheim, was named after the colony. The statement that the colony was named after her, he said, was quite unfounded. We had a very pleasant visit with our old friend Fritz, whom we grew up with here in Anaheim. His father was our guardian and was administrator of the estate. He was a grand old man. We attended school with Fritz and during all these years have never had a single cross word with him. We are glad to know that he continues to prosper. He rarely speaks of the time that he walked from Los Angeles to Tucson, but the boy made good, and the Good Lord has continued to prosper him.

Property Takes Tremendous Drop Average Loss of 14.01 Percent Recorded by the State Equalization Board Acute shrinkage of property values, which the average citizen felt most keenly shortly after the turn of the new year, has moved along until it has affected the state's assessed valuations with a drop of $1,316,965,641 from the 1931 figures, or a decrease of 14.01 per cent. This was made known early this week by the state board of equalization. Current rolls show total valuations at $8,081,944,342 as compared with $9,398,-909,983 a year ago.
