And the people served Jehovah all the days of Joshua, anti all the days of the elders that out- lived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of Jehovah, that he had wrought for Israel.-jeshua was so strong a servant of Jehovah that he not only kept the eeopie of Xerox] true to Jehov.ali tiering his own life, but so influenced the elders who were associated with him thee they too kept Israel true to their God. This mark of Joshua's leadership stands out very etrong, ,It is also to be noted that Joshua and his elders had eeen the great works of Jehovah that he had wrought for Israel. Because they served Jeho- vah, they were able to see whet JellOWbh was doing; their eyes were open. People in rebellion against God or indifferent to God have their eyes closed and are not, able to see. 9.

Another generation that knew not Jehovab.-The succeeding gen- eration after Joshua and his eklers were less and less true to the reli- gion 'of Jehovah, and so it was in-, evitable that a time would come when the Israelites had entirely re, ceded from the religion of their fathers., 11,. Served the Baalirn.---Brialins is the plural of . Baal and meane more than one god or lord, There are many evidences that Israel was familiar with the worship of more than one heathen god.

Andout of this remnant always has appeared a leader, sfrong, in eeligious,coneiction and insight, and e.apable to rally rale backslidden people to the standard of the trne Cod.

They saved theist because they could theinhaek to a belief in God, to .a weliship of Gad and, hence, strengthen their arms to strike the 17. And yet they hearkened riot unto their judges,. --- One judge would arise arid be a, strong factor in bringing the people together, bet as soon as the danger was °vele back again into the evil practices would ehe people go.. Before the rise of Deborah there were a num- ber ol Mirior judges, who are only inCidentally named; or not named at all. This was the beginning of the period of the judges, when it was more difficult for any leader to impress fully end finally upon the mirds of the people that they must be time to God if they would be _epic fvom their enemies. Bet be- .oa,u,se these judges are only inciden- tally named or not named at all, eve must not conclude. thet they were not great, leaders. 18. When Jehovah raised them up -ledges, then Jehovah was with the judge. -'I will neither leave you nor forsake yen." A steady stream cif testimony from the beginning of 'Genesis to the end of Revelation shows indisputably that God always has been with hes ,people, that be has never raiEed up a than for any particular position and left him to his own resources. - The leaders in the \YOH& a history' have bean great bemuse God hasbeen with them, When they turned ,from God or when other ' influences dominated these, their greatness began to wane, and finally disappeared. 19. But it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers. --The perversity of the Israelites is strongly shown here. rirery retrogration or backsliding was worse and further than the preeeding one, TRADE TERns iniAir TEASE.
