appointed•as he the -Lord who should
go up for them against the. Canan
ites and the Lord said, "Judah' sha
go up; behold, I have delivered the
land into his hand:" The first chap-
ter relates the progress made in ex-
pelling the Canaanites and making
rooni for themselves. They. were not,
however, whole hearted in' this but
permitted them, f:o dwell ' in , their
midst, thinking no harm could come
to them from the presence of these
idolatrous peoples. So long as Jos-
hua had lived they served the Lord,
but when another generation arose
which knew not the Lord, nor yet the
works which he had done for Israel,
the influence of these Canaanites be-
gan to be felt (chapter 2:11-15).. In
these verses we read how the people
of Isreal forsook the God .of Isreal
anerg-ave that worship andl:honor due
to Him alone to Baal and Ashtarotli.
They did evil, they forsook the Lord
and they did' honor to other gods. In
consequence of. this' the anger of the
Lord was hot against them." They
rebelled and vexed .his holy spirit;
therefore. was he"turned to be ,their
enemy and lie fought against • them
(Isa. 63:10). They' could no longer"
stand before :their enemies as they
had done under Joshua. -.
Verses .;16 -r8 -The Appointing of
Judges.
It was at this trine 'of apostasy in
their history that the God of wrath
showed 'Himself to be still a God of
mercy and saved them out of. their
trouble.' "It repented the ' Lord' be-
cause of their groanirigs by • reason
of them that oppressed them and:
vexed `them" (verse 1$). He raised
up. specially equipped men from a-
mong themselves. to reform Israel
and deliver them out of the hand of
them that spoiled them: He did this
in order to induce thein to repent of
their evil ways and a time - of refor-
mation lasted all' the days of the,
judges.: But afterwards they trans.
gressec, and hearkened not unto the
voiceofthe '
i Lord more than ever be-
fore, so that the anger of the Lord
burned so fiercely against Israel that
He detirmined, so long as they, per-
sisted in their idolatry, that no man
of the nations should: be destroyed
for their sake: These nations were
left "to prove Israel by them, to know
whether they would hearken unto the
commandnieiits of the Lord, which he
commanded their fathers by the hand
of Moses' Ole), In succeeding 'chap-
ters we read of special deliverances
whenever there was a ral turning un-
to the Lord.. At one tune they were
greatly impoverished because of the
Midianites into whose hands they had
been delivered for seven years. Then
they cried unto the Lord.and. a spe-
cial deliverer was sent in the person
of Gideon to save them from the hand.
of their enemy..
Chap. 7A:2-8—Gideon's Army.
The army of the Israelites amount-
ed to 32,000 men, but that of the Mid-
ianites and their allies was • about
135,000. Nevertheless the Lord said.
to Gideon, "The people that are with
thee are too many for me to give
Midian into their hands, lest Israel
vaunt themselves against me,: saynig
"My hand hath helped me,'y Gideon
-w'as therefore to have a proclamation
made before all the people: "Who-
soever is fearful and despondent, let
him turn and go back front Mount
Gilead." The intention of the Lord
was to deprive His people ..of all
ground for self -glorification. The
result- of the appeal was that only
snoop remained, But : even this
number was regarded by` the Lord as
stili too 'great; so that He gave to'
Gideon the still further command,'
"Bring then down to the water, and
I will try them for thee there." Gi-

Dr. Parker says: "This book abounds

The story of Gideon's army carries
with it this lesson:
(1) God wants us to know.that it ■
is He who has saved 'us, and that He

(2) God's followers must exercise
watchful; self-control through- the

WORLD MISSIONS,
Greatest Power in Missions
As I was' leaving India, one of the
young missionaries, still in her lan-
guage
g
study, as T was saying good-;
bye, took me aside and said, "Pray
for me." Then one of the oldest mis-
n r'
sio..a res in the farad' said to me,
"When you go 'back Mattie, tell the
church and the People at home that
we want more missionaries and more
workers and more money provided
that you are going to pray for us:
Without Divine power and Divine
guidance, we'can do nothing."" It is
e prayer that ow missionaries value
most of all.
(From •a Layman's Visit to the
Mission Fields).
A Leader of Modern Egypt
The Field Secretary for Egypt of
the World's Sunday School Associa-
tioin is Skeikh Metry S. Dewairy. He
has earned this title of "Sheikt" by
his election as an elder in the Evan-
gelical Church in Egypt. In Arabic -
speaking countries' the usual meaning
of "Sheikh" is village chief, but it is
also used as a• title of respect 'to-
ward . older members of the clan or
tribe. Mr. Dewairy is a man of inany
activities, but, he has touched the
greatest number of lives through the
thirty books he has translated from
English into Arabic. He serves also
as an editor of two Uuited Presby-
terian religious weeklies. One: of
these is for children and young peo-
ple, and both publish Sunday School
articles. The. force of his -personality
is felt throughout the country as a
St nday school organizer for local,
provincial 'and national conference.
He' has also' been very effective as the
organizer and the first general secre-
tary of the Laymen's Movement- in
Egypt.
