Preface

The cordial welcome given to my stories from Genesis had led me to continue the series. The present book carries ns through the Exodus to the conquest of Palestine. We may not here move in so enchanted a region. But the tale is of the kind that young folk delight in, a tale of camps and marches and battles, full of dramatic incidents, with a rich bearing on life.

I have taken the title from the name which Moses gave to the altar he set up at Rephidim: The Lord Is My Banner. Under this banner he fought and won. Under the same banner we also can fight and win.

Contents

The Babe in the Basket [Exodus i.l-ii.4']

A Mother's Care [Exodus ii.5-9] .

At School in Egypt [Exodus ii.10; Acts vii.22~]
