Palestine, we crossed ite‘liut the gullies

the.possibility of great freshete.like the
oneatthe time of the text. Generel-
Sisera had eine out with nine hundred
iron chafiots. but he was defeated„, end
his chariot wheels inteflocked with the
wheels of other chariots; he could not
retreat fast enough and so .he leaped
to the ground and tan till exhausted he
Wont into Jael's tent for safety. She
had just been clitirning, and
Whin he asked for water she
giere. him butterinilk, which in the
East' -is considered a most refresliin,g
drink. Very tired, and supposing he
was safe,he went to sleep • upoils the
floor, butJael. whO had resolved. upon
his death, took a tent -pin long and.
round •and 1sharp in one hand an4 a
hammer in her Other hand, and ;puttnig
the sharp end of .the 'tent -pin to the fore-
head of Siseiat with her !other hand, she
lifted the hammerand brought it down
on the head' of 06 pin with a stout
stroke, when Siserte struggled.to rise. and
she struck him again, and he struggled
to • rise, and t: esthird time she .struck
him, and the comMatider in-ebief of the
CanaanitiSh host -lay dead.
Meanwhile.: in the distance Sisera's
mother sits amid sUrroundin6 of wealth
and pomp and scenes palatial,..vziiting
for his return. Every Mother • expects
her son- to be Victorious, and this
mother looked.ouat the wiudow expec-
ting to see him drive tip in his chariot
Nliowed by wageeas loaded with enee
.breideries, and also by regiments of
wen vanquished and enslaved. I see
-her now sitting at the window, hi high
expectation. She watches the fuethest
turn of the road. She looks for the fly-
ing dust of the swift. hoofs. The first
flash of toe bit of the horses' bridle she
will catch. The -ladies of her court stand round
and she tells them of whatthey shall
have when her son dinnes ap-chains of
gold and carraaets of beauty and dresses
of such wemdrous fabric -and splendor ;is
the Bible only hints at but leaves- us to
m
iegine. "-He ought to be•here- by this
time," says his mother, "that battle is
surely over. I hope that freshet of the
river Kishon ;has not impeded - him. I
hope those strange appearances. we save
oight inahe sky were not ominous,.
when the stars -seemed to fight in their
courses. No ! No ',he is so brave in bat-
tle I know he haswon the day. He
will soon be here." But alas for the
disappointed mother ; •she will not see
tile glittering head -gear of the horses at
full gallop bringing her son home from
Victorious battle. As a solitary atessen-
ger, arriving in hot haste, rides up to
the e indo.w at ' which the mother of
Sasera sits, he cries,- •'Your nrrnies are
deteated and your son is dead," there is
•ceile of horror and anguish from
‘v hien we turn away.
Nowyou see the' full meaning of my
short text: `•The Mother of Sisera look-
ed out at a window." -Well, my
