Gideon's peculiar attack (vs. 10- 20.) 111, Into three companies -- Great armies were generally divided into three parts, that is, the right wing, the lett wing and the body of the army. 'fads army was great in faith. Gideon was in command of one division, The Midiron-' ites had long been a terror to Israel, mid now they were to be overcome by terror. 17.

God wail gait- ing this victory, but lie used Gideon and his men as chosen instruments. We see three ways here used -by Gideon to terrify his enemies: (1) 11e, with Isis men, made a great noise, blowing truer pets and breaking the earthen pitchers, i2) 13y the sudden glare of light, which would be ea a streak of lightning, (3) Resides the noise of trumpets he added shouting, culling attention to God and }lis eh0011 inetuu1emt, as leader in this attack, By this sudden surprise at ndd- night the people would be terribly alarm- ed, and naturally conclude themselves surrounded by a great army. i lll. Gideou's great victory (vs, 21.25)• 21. They stood every man in'his place— The arras of Israel did not come to fight. Their wolf was to sound the' trumpets, held the lights and shout. Seeing the company with lights and blowing trot:-' pets, keeping in place, the Midiauites would conclude they were a great army, whose men were now already in their camp. The host ran, and cried, and fled —The llidianites were so perfectly con- fused, that there was no order preserv- ed ,and every one noted according to his feelings of terror. 'Thus the battle went of anon~ ih: 1lidinndtrs, and Israel stood by and watched their own victory without using a sword. The terrified , people ran in 0 tumult and fought each otdne' madly, not knowing friend from lac. (;ed directed the battle and used Ilia own way to deliver His people from their enemies.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS. Gideon's Artily numbered thirty tv,,) thousand, "White he deubtle,1 titJagh0 his men too' few. hod saw they were tau 1110115, and ordered a rtduetinu, Accord- ing to Gal's standard there were only about three hundred in thirty-two thou- sand that were worth anything for real fighting, for real endurance, for real en- terprise."

What he could not do in the daytime because his life would be the forfeit he did at midnight (Judg. 6, 27), Itis three husked 01011 were earnest. They would not waste time in personal luxury; eager for the battle, they would be ready at rt mom- ent's warning. "Earnest nom find op- portunities. What they canna do in the 'evening twilight they will do int early morning brightness. Earnestness always finds opportunities; earnestness always finds a sycamore tree up which it can climb and see Christ. There is always u course open to taut, to (0101ity, to sin - eerily, to determination. if any man is saying that be cannot make his way through all the difficulties that beset his life so Its to get near to God, in flee name of all history that is true. in the name of all history that is holy, in Gm name of all history that is worthy pre- serving, I charge hint with a mistalee or a lie." 11: Be humble. "Too many .. , . lest isrn0l vaunt themselves" (v, 2.) God will not choose those who, after the victory will "vaunt themselves" and say, "Mine ow'n hand hath saved ate" (v, 2,) "No man tvho ever trembled before God's call ever rade mets tremble' before his call." "Moses said tato Goof, Who am I that 1 should go unto Pharaoh?" (Ex- od. 3; 11), 111. Ile fearless, "Whosoever is fear- ful and afraid, let him return" (v, 3.) Gideon and his valiant three hundred might have Leen n laughing -stock to any straggling unbeliever, as, they prepared to go against the Midianites, who hay in the valley as grasshop p, s for multitude, told those camels were like the sands of the sea, but they won the victory. God had said so. During our civil war a brave ensign got it advance of the fal- tering line. The flag was in danger of being captured. The captain called out, "Bring the colors back to the company." Then a brave soldier dashed forward, shouting, "Bring the company up to the colors" And 80011 that flag was sun rounded by a hundred fearless hearts. "So we may lover God's standard end bring it down to the level of 0150 unbe- lief, Or we may bring our faith up to the great and glorious standard of his mighty promises. Oh, with such promisee for faith to rest on, encu performnsres as are recorded in our lesson to encour- age 11, such powers and possibilities leee- sented to it, 0111111 awful need of it in the world today, mad such a fountain front which to draw it," let ass follow the ex - 0101510 of the faithful Gideon and his H11 e hundred and have the faith of God. 1\'.
