In vain you enact and abrogate your tariffs; in vain is individual sacrifice, or sectional concession. The accursed thing is with us, the stone of stumbling and the rock of offence remains. Drag, then, the Achan into light; and let national repentance atone for national sin.
He's jist a Jonah in oor ship, an Achan in oor camp. But I sudna speyk sae to ane that's no a member." "Never ye min'. I'm auld eneuch to hae learned to haud my tongue. But we'll turn till a better subjec'. Jist tell me hoo ye made Alec peril's life for conscience sake. Ye dinna burn fowk here for nae freely haudin' by the shorter Carritchis, do ye?" And hereupon followed the story of the flood.
This was carried out to the letter, except that "Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing" that is, he hid some gold and silver in his tent; whereupon the army met with a defeat, and everybody knew that something was wrong, and Joshua rent his clothes and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the Lord, and got another message from Jehovah, to the effect that the guilty man should be burned with fire, "he and all that he hath."
They are of the kindly race of English sovereigns, and, doubtless, are adored like to demigods by those of their own party. I am called Parricide, Blood-thirsty Usurper, already, for shedding the blood of one man, that the plague might be stayed or as Achan was slain that Israel might thereafter stand against the face of their enemies.
"Oh, Adele will go to school I have settled that already; nor do I mean to torment you with the hideous associations and recollections of Thornfield Hall this accursed place this tent of Achan this insolent vault, offering the ghastliness of living death to the light of the open sky this narrow stone hell, with its one real fiend, worse than a legion of such as we imagine.
He dilated for thirty minutes upon the horn-blowing at Jericho, the siege, the wall-falling, and the sin of Achan; and then wound up by telling his hearers drawing the moral from Achan's fate that if they did wrong they would be sure to be found out. The sermon was quite equal to the bulk of homilies given in Primitive Methodist Chapels, and it seemed to go right home to the congregation.
Of course, it could be no other than the money-loving, the mammon-worshipping Robert Bruce. When, therefore, he found that such a pearl of price as Annie Anderson was excluded from their "little heaven below," by the presence of this possible anti-typical Achan, he could not help feeling his original conviction abundantly strengthened. But he did not see what could be done.
He resolved to go through the twelve tribes until the culprit was found. The tribe of Judah was examined first, and luckily in the very first family "Achan was taken," although we are not told how he was spotted.
The sin of Achan, its results, its discovery and punishment. The story of the Gibeonites, their stratagem, its embarrassment to Joshua and consequent slavery to them. The portion of land allotted to each tribe and how it was secured. The miraculous element running through the narrative. List and discuss each incident that tends to show or makes claim of such miraculous element.
I fear treachery to the host from this nullifidian Achan Thou shalt not go with him. Thou art our chariots and our horsemen." "Hinder me not," replied Burley; "he hath well said that all is lost, if the enemy win the bridge therefore let me not. Shall the children of this generation be called wiser or braver than the children of the sanctuary?
