"GO FORWARD"!

From the July 1962 issue of The Christian Science Journal


In the fourteenth chapter of Exodus it is recorded that in the course of their journey out of Egypt, the children of Israel found themselves in what appeared to be a desperate situation, for they had come to the Red Sea, and it seemed that they could proceed no further.

They could not go back or stay where they were, for the Egyptian army was pursuing them and was fast overtaking them. Instead of turning to God for help and guidance, the people followed the course of weakness and incompetence and blamed their leader, Moses, for the situation, saying, "Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness?"

Moses remained calm and confident in face of this predicament, and said, "The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace."
