wanderlust a look at the book by dr bob jones fcnntinoed from page 1 mittenholzer jan carew and r e braithwaite are among others who have become well known abroad apparently it was customary for men to go up the rapids until they readied these areas then through dense forests whey they came to the mines they would spend sometimes a year or two there under unusu - ally primitive conditions of avenue or what could be called a pedestrian way the flambuoyant and flowering shrubs are also planted along the avenues on each side of the street are very attractive houses mostly of wood with hanging baskets of flowers adorning the verandahs perhaps no group of people ever stood in a closer place than did the israelites on the occasion described in the t-lth chapter of exodus having been led of the lord ou of bondage in egypt this great host was encamped ca the shores of the red sea phar oah's army was pursuing them to slay them or to bring them back to further slavery in egypt and it seemed as if there were no escape them fall prey to this sime group on the shore of the red sea so moses said to his people stand still and see the salvation of the lord then he added the lord shall fight for you guyana has also produced its share of beautiful women most of whom have achieved fame via beauty contests and the entertainment field in tlie u.k the lord did fight for his people but it was not while they stood still god said to moses speak unto the chil dren of israel that they go forward moses lifted his red over the waters as god had instructed and the sea divided so that israel could pass through on dry ground as soon as israel was safe on the other side of the sea moses again lifted his rod this tims the waters rushed in to engulf the pursuing egyptians yes the lord fought for israel but it was in the midst of the divided sea when they came down with their gold or diamonds thev spent their money very reck lessly buying not one car but two usually they lived the indolce vita while the money lasted as if to make up for their months in the bush in a few months they would be pen niless and there was nothing to do but head back up to ihe mines again and start the whole process all over georgeown was completely destroyed by fire in 1945 and some of the buildings destroyed can never be replaced — such as the natural museum of history and its contents which happened to be about the finest in that part of the world sont years later georgetown was again almost completely de stroyed by fire guyana has had a very dis turbed political life through the years and though in the years before independence cjieddi jagan an indian was very active and popular a great deal of antagonism broke out between the two leading races and there were bitter political struggles between ihe leaders of the two races at the present time there seems to be a lull in the controversy israel's leader however was a man of great faith he knew that the lord had not freed his people from egypt to let the name guiana was deriv ed from the ameridian mean ing land of water so the essequibo berbice demera ra are vast bodies of wai.er which contribute to the cor rectness of such a name look and learn it is said that a few hardy women wishing to make a pile of money would also venture up to the mines appar itly it took a very patticular breed of woman to face this kind of life guyana has one

place of our seeming defeat is the place where he can best show his power there are moments when we have to stand still and wait on the lord but when the lord wants a man in a certain place to do a certain job he will open the way even if it takes a miracle as great as that of dividing the red sea god wanted israel in the land cf promise there would be many times in the land and on the way to the land that he would show them his salvaion but he did not intend that f hey should stand still by the red sea he commanded them to go forward and he made the going possible god does not want us to stand still he says to us in this day of seem ing impossibilities trust me and move forward in the pools of the botan cal gardens the beautiful victoria regia makes a gorgeous cov ering on the top of
