“ Moses, now grown to manhood, plays his part as Prince to the Egyptian court; but deep in his breast he resents the persecution of his own people.
Death was the penalty for the slave who raised his hand against his master.
"Why hast thou, an Egyptian Prince, helped me a poor slave?"
Egypt's Prince no longer, I shall seek safety in exile, but with God's help I will return to avenge the wrongs of my people, for I too am a son of Israel. ”

“ Noah and his sons alone were saved, that the earth might again be peopled with those of one family, among whom peace should reign.
Cycles of time roll on—and Egypt under the Pharaohs, now the mightiest power of the world, holds in bondage the Chosen People of God———the ancient Israelites.
And Pharaoh, fearing that a new leader might arise among his people, commanded that every Hebrew male child be cast into the river, so that he alone might reign.
The mother of Moses having hidden her baby from Pharaoh's soldiers who sought to slay it, devises a means to save it. ”

“ And then the peace of earth is blighted once more by the scorching breath of the World War—which saps the very life-blood of the nations.
Side by side—brothers-in-arms—fighting the Cause of Mankind, no man says to the other—"What is thy creed?" ”

“ A new king had ascended the throne of Egypt, from whom Moses was to demand the liberation of his people.
Already have I called down plagues upon you—will you release unto me my people?
With the sublime faith "which hath moved mountains" Moses calls upon the Lord for a sign————and lo! there comes a thick darkness over all the land.
And Pharaoh in terror called unto Moses:
'Go ye; serve the Lord!'
Before the fear-stricken Pagans recover from their terror, Moses has lead his people into the wilderness. ”

“ To You who love your fellow-men——who desire Peace upon Earth——the story of the birth of our glorious race is dedicated————for it is only through Love that we can reach the heart of mankind or the feet of God. ”

“ And so Moses and Aaron led their people out of the wilderness to the Red Sea.
"The armies of Pharaoh that followed perished in the closing waters of the Red Sea, and the Israelites were delivered."
"The Children of Israel offer up a sacrifice for their deliverance."
Two months of desert journeys, and the Israelites camped at the holy mountain where Moses beheld the burning bush, and it was on this same mountain that he received-----
Thus preserved on tablets of stone is the ancient Law which God gave to Moses——the Savior of the Israelites. ”

“ And in every home and hamlet where the voice of war is heard, the flower of the world's young manhood answers the call to arms.
Until at length the Dawn of Peace lightens the world.
Let us hope that it means the dawn of a brighter day when the race shall be born anew, with love—not strife—for its creed—————as taught by Moses and the Man Who Died Upon the Cross.
For
"Love is the essence of divinity,
The world's white blossom still unspoiled and pure ”

“ His gospel of peace and equality grew in the hearts of humanity———and fourteen centuries later Columbus prepares for his voyage of discovery that is to carry the gospel to the shores of the western world. ”

“ And the sons of man multiplied and spread over the earth, and divided into groups and tribes. At the time of Noah they had forgotten God's thought in Creation—Equality—and gave themselves over to the folly of envy and prejudice.
...and God said unto Noah: 'The end of all flesh is come before me, for the earth is filled with violence through them...make thee an ark...for, behold, I do bring a flood of waters upon the earth!'
Noah and his three sons. ”
