There is nothing about the birth of Moses to indicate his future greatness; in fact, so ob score was his beginning, his parents' names are unmentlon- ed until the 6th chapter of Exo- dus. We are 0 that at birth he was a goodly child —- goodly meaning “fair to God” and an omen tht God had a great future in store for him.

The e of Moses, spanning more than 120 years, can be di- vided into three equal periods of 40 years each. Toward the end

, of the first period, Moses’ temp<

er and sense of justice resulted in the accidental murder of an Egyptian, compelling him to flee from Egypt.

He hound refuge in the land of the Midlanites, where, on his ar- rival, he was called upon to de-

ite priest against a band coarse, selfish shepherds.

Moses settled with the Midi-

anites, married. fa ed a son

and became a shepherd for his

father- in-law. Thus the second phase of his life passed in

One would think that being as- signed the task of delivering his people would have brought a great personal satisfaction to Moses. Instead, Moses tries to escape the burdens involved in the task, proclaiming himself of carrying

, He has given him an equipment beyond that which Moses himself would ever have dared ask for. There is nothing left for, Moses to do but begin car g out this program of God; or else flatly refuse to do it and live a life of perpetual disobedience.

This Moses was unable to do. He returns to Egypt where he is joined by his brother Aaron. from whom he has been separat— ed for 40 years and who is to be his spokesman and co- worker. Together they set out to inform the Israelites of what God is about to do for them.

Man Needs Someone To Whom He Can lurn

By CARDINAL McGUIGAN

Ours is an age of discovery. One of the objects to which our inquisitive minds turn with ever increasing frequency is man himself.

But it is one titling to study man by obsenva' and quite another to explain the meaning and ordain of Wlhat We observe

This double effort—to observe and explain— can lead to quite unjustifiable conclusions if the two procedures are not seen as distinct.

The coufiision that is possible is especially noticeable when we consider man as religious.

God can be seen as a creation of man Man needs to have

Because of this need in man, and this is the phenomenon that is observable, a person could be led to conclude that: God is just

to

meet his need. Not only could this be concluded—it has been.

Some very prominent philoso- phers have said this very thing in recent yea-rs.

And many things have been overlooked in the explanation.

First of all, the fact that man has needs does not tell us any- thing about their origin.
