ANALYSIS
X. THE OPPRESSION, 4: 1-3.
II. THE GALL TO ARMS, 4: 4.12,
III. THE VICTORY, 4: 13-15. •
INTRODUCTION—It was in the period
of the Judges, after tht time of
Joshua, that the Canaanites of. north-
ern Palestine 'r;ightity oppressed the
children of Israel. The conquest of
the land by Joshua had been by no
means complete. The historian of the
book of Judges makes. that clear in
chaps. 1-3. In the north, the centre,
and the southwest there remained po-
tential enemies, nations•whici., he says,
the Lord left to grave Israel by therm.
The Hebrew invaders under Joshua
and after made .uch settlement as
they could with their Canaanite neigh-
bors, sometimes on friendly terms,
sometimes unfriendly, and only where
they were strong did they put the
Canaanites to tribute. In Joshua's
r.ampaigns he fo,ind a formidable ad-
versary in the north in Jabin; king of
Hazor, who gathered a treat host
from the northern states and gave
battle to Joshu.= at the waters of
Merom. Joshua was victorious and
follower. up the rout of the enemy by
burning their city, oshJ. 11:.1-14. It
is 1,o wonder, thereicre, that the
Canaanites of the north cherished a
hatred of Israel and a desire to be
i avenged. Their opportunity cane
some time later when they got the
better of the Israelites in war and
subjected there to cruel oppression,
;cadges 5: 6-5.
I. THE OPPRESSION, 4: 1-3.
The writer, or editor, of the book
of Judges regards the calamities
which crane upon Israel as a punish-
r..ent for the people's sins. Compare
vs. 1-2; 6: 1-2; 10: 6-7, etc. The king
of Canaan here m rationed bears the
same name. Jabin, as the king who
fought with Joshua. He may have
been a son or grandson. Hazor was
in the extreme north of Palestine, just
west of the Lake of Huleh, called
elsewhere the waters of Merom. Sis-
.ra's home was much farther south, in
the southwest carne' of the ,,lain of
Esdraelon, not far from where the
battle was fought The strength of
the Canaanite army may be judged by
the statement tha' Jabin hk.d nine
hundred chariots of iron. Compare
Deborah's question, Was there a
shield or sear seen among forty thou-
sand of Israel? The odds, were great-
ly in favor of Israel's oppressors.
'en's torrent swept the foe off, Kish-
on's torrent in their. faces" (5: 21,
Moffatt).
The song of Deborah (chap. 5) is
a fine example of ancient Hebrew
poetry. It is a work of real genius
breathing a fine spirit of patriotic
fervor and confident faith. A well-
known English essayist calls it "the
greatest war song of any age or na-
tion."—R. H. Hutton.
America's Attitude
Toward League Changed
Washington—The United States is
co-operating in practically every field
of activity of the League of Nations,
including important international con-
ferences and non-political enterprises,
according to a summary of the Fireign
Policy Association, published here.
America's attitude has changed in 10
years from haughty aloofness in
which the State Department refused
to answer official communications
from the League, to one of close as-
sociation save in the meetings of the
Council and the Assembly.
"To -day the ,United States is par-
ticipating in one capacity of another
in practically all of the important
international conferences held under
the auspices of the League," Ray-
mond Leslie Buell, research director
of the association, states in a fore-
word.
"Likewise, the United States has
developed a system for the peaceful
settlement of international disputes
which parallels, in certain respects,
the policy pursued by members of
the League. Thus, as will be seen,
the American Government has to an
extent accepted the plan of compul-
sory arbitration of legal disputes and
the idea of compusory investigation of
other differences," he said.
II, THE CALL TO ARMS, 4: 4-12.
Not many women. of Old Testament
times hacl the gift of prophecy. The
gift of Deborah is fo.' that reason all
the more remarkable. The people be-
lieved her to be inspired to declare to
tlleni the will of God, and gave her,
therefore, the• rank and authority of a
,judge. Her home was not fax north
of Jerusalem between Ramah and
Bethel in Mount Ephraim. Evidently
the anaanite oppression was felt even
there, though so far to the south.
Barak was a man of tate tribe of
Naphtali, whose home was a few miles
northwest of the Lake of Huleh. His
name in Hebrew means "Lightning,"
and may represen., his character, bold
and swift to strike. Deborah had
heard of his fame and had chosen him
as commander of the: forces she de-
teemined to raise against the oppres-
sor. he bids him draw toward Mount
Tabor ten thousand leen of his own
tribe and the closely -related tribe of
Zebulun. Of these mets he 'would be
the recognized and accepted leader.
It. is the Lord's command and Barak
obeys, but he makes one condition. If
thou wilt go with Inc, he said to De-
borah, uteri I will go. Deborah re-
plied, I refer sorely •o with thee. Then
with a touch of humor, chiding the
chieftain's dependence anon her, she
added that the honor of the enterprise
would go to a woman (see 5: 24-27).
Barak knew very well that the pres-
ence of such a woman as Deborah in
the army would inspire courage. With
such a faith they would be invincible.
Men of the other tribes Were called
and some came willingly, others hesi-
tated, or refused Deborah's rallying

Huge 72 -Storey Theatre
Skyscraper is Planned
New York—A motion picture
theatre that will be one of the largest
in the world will be built in 1932 in
a 72 -storey skyscraper by the Para-
mount-Publix Corporation, diagonally
opposite its present 29 -storey Para-
mount Theatre Building In Broadway.
Announcement of the plan., was
made on July 9 by Eugene Zukor, in
charge of building for the corpora-
tion, who said that the Broadway site
had been purchased in the name of
the Seneca Holding Corporation. The
new theatre will have a capacity for
6000 persons, 2000 more than the
Paramount, and its skyscraper will be
the highest in upper Broadway.
The plot of laud acquired is 50,000
square feet running 206 fent back
from Broadway between Forty-fourth
and Forty-fifth Streets.

Canada Can Teach
France a Lesson?
Paris—There is at least one thing
according to a writer in Paris -Midi,
which France can learn from Canada.
One of these is clow to house a par-
liament. If only the Chamber of
Deputies could be transported from
the Palais Bourbon to the Grand
Palais, thinks this Parisian, and thus
conduct its deliberations in spacious,
airy and cheerful surrounclings, as
does the House of Commons at Ot-
tawa, many discourteous speeches
and many ill-considered votes would
be avoidei. But there is at least
one thing which Canada can learn,
and apparently " is learning, from
France, and that is the importance of
Bolding world expositions. The
great exhibition which is being plan-
ned for Vancouver in 1936 to promote
friendly relations between America
and the Far East, seems to the writer
in Paris -Midi to have been at least
in part inspired by the extensive pre-
parations which are being made for
the International Overseas Exposition
to be held in Paris in 1931.
