Journeying Toward Canaan and Hobab's Choice
In a August 1902 piece a Sunday school reflection casts Moses leading Israel toward Canaan as a caravan through the wilderness. It highlights Hobab the Midianite son-in-law choosing to stay with Israel, Moses’ tact in persuading him, and the biblical pattern of morning and evening prayers shaping the march. The article links ancient travel to the church's pilgrimage, urging readers to join Israel for spiritual blessing and duty, while noting the analogy to later church history and the importance of enduring form and faith.
