THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time. -1296 B.C.
:Place: Hazer was in the tribe
of Naphtali, at the extreme north
of Israel's territory overlooking
Lake Merom. Deborah lived on the
confines of Benjamin and Ephraim,
near the city of Bethel: Mount Ta-
ber is in the mi; et of the great
plain of Jezrcel, le the very middle
of Palestine, and in this mountain
the river Kishou takes its rise,
1. And the children of Israel
again did that which was evil in
the sight of Jehovah, when Ehud
was dead. The institution of judge*:
over Israel is recorded in 2:1G-23.
The rise of each Jude follows God's
punishi.tent of Israel for her repeat-
ed disobedience to him.
2. And Jehovah sold them into
the hund of Sabin ' ing of Canaan,.
Th: t reigned in Hazer. No one
knows exactly where Hazer was lo -
Dated, but it was certainly to the
tribe of Naplatah, and overlooked
the waters of Merom, far north in
Israel's territory, The captain of
whose host was Sisera, who dwelt
in Harosheth of the Gentiles. The
exact location of this city is also s
matter of great dispute.
3. And the children of Israel cried
unto Jehovah: for hs had nine bun-
(ied chariots of iron; and twenty
years he mightily oppressed the
,children of Israel. Trouble ought
always to bring us to the Lord.

4. Now Deborah, a prophetess,
the wife of Lappidoth, she judged
Israel at that time. There aro two
L.borahs ie the Bible, the earlier
one sing the nurse of Rebekah
(Gen..35:8). The word "Deborah"
tncause-Lhe bee." Dr. Abraham
Kuyper calls her "the Joan of Are
of Israel's astonishing history." She
is one of the most remarkable wo-
men in al !the Bible, and this ac-
count of her life will be found a
most fascinating page of sacred
history. The word "prophetess"
here "implies the possession of po-
etic as well as of prophets gifts
(Eod. 15:20)," andx we see her
right to such a title in her predic-
tions (v. 9), her lofty courage (5:7)
and the splendor of her inspired
She is the only female judge;
or, indeed, female ruler of any
kind 'in Jewish history, except the
Phoenician murderess, Athaliah.
5. And she dwelt under the. palm-
tree of Deborah between Ramal.
and Beth -el in the hill -country of
1-,hraim: and the. children of Is-
rael came up to her for judgment.
Cf. Gen. 14:13 an 1 I Sam. 14:2.
The two cities mentioned here were
on the confines of Benjamin and
Ephraim. The palm where she sat
in judgment was called after her
the Deborah pair-,. Her gift of pro-
phecy qualified her to judge the
nation, to settle such disputes
among the people themselves as
the lower courts were unable to de-
cide.
6. And she sent and called Barak
the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-
naphtall, and said unto him, Hath
not Jehovah, the God of Israel, com-
manded, saying, Go and draw unto
mount Tabor, and take with thee
ten thousand men of the children
of Naphtali and of the children of
Zebulun? 7. And I will draw unto
thee, to the river Kishon, Sisera,
the captain of Jabin's army, with
his chariots and his multitude; and
I will deliver him into thy hand.
Already known in Zebulun and
Naphtali as a man of bold temper
and sagacity, Barak was in a posi-
tion to gather an army corps out.
of those tribes, the main strength
of the force on which Deborah re-
lied for the approaching struggle.
Better still, he was a fearer of God.
The Victory
9. And she said, I will surely go
with thee: notwithstanding, the
journey that thou takest shall not
be for thine honor; for Jehovah will
sell Sisera into the hand of a wo-
man. And Deborah arose, and went
with Barak to Kedesh. To eater in-
to the force of Deborah's statement,
we must remember the humble and
almost downtrodden position of wo-
men in the East, so that it could
hardly fail to be a humiliation to a
great warrior to be told that the
chief glory would fall to a woman.,
We can imagine Deborah in that
time of trial growing up into tall
and striking womanhood, watching
with indignation many a scene in
which her people showed a craven
ROM the day it was

fear, or joined slavishly in heathen
revels. In vain she looked for a
prophet, a leader, .a man of Jeho-
vah to rekindle a name in the nee
tion's heart, A flame! It was In
her own soul, she might wake it in
other souls.
12. And they told Sisera that Ba-
rak the son of Abinoam was gone
up to . ount Tabor. 13. And Sisera
gathered together all hie chariots,
even nine hundred chariots of iron,
and all the people that were with
him, from Harosheth of the Gen-
tiles, unto the river Kishon. 14. And
Deborah said unto Barak, 'Up; for
this is the day in which Jehovah
hate delivered Sisera into thy hand:
is not Jehovah gone out before
thee? So Barak went down from
.mount Tabor, and tan thout.and
men aftor him. The tremendous
moment has come. "Up," cries De-
borah. She has waited till the
troops of Sisera ' are entangled
among the streams which here,
fror . various directions, converge
to the river Kishon, now swollen
with rain and difficult to erose.
Barak, the Lightning Chief, leads
his men impetuously down into the
plain. The Kishon sweeps away
many of the Canaanite host, the.
rest make a stand by Taanach and
Rather on by the seaters of Megid-
do. The Hebrews find a higher
ford, and following the south bank
of the river are upon the foe again.
Only the fragments of a ruined
army find shelter within the gates.
Symbol of Conflict
The defeat was crushing. The
immediate enemies of Israel were
utterly routed. The Hebrews were
safe for years to come from the
,warlike tribes which held xo ten-
aciously to the land. We eannot
help looking neon these conflicts In
the book of Judges as certainly
symbolic of the great conflict that
every Christian knows as he wrest-
les, not with flesh and blood, but
against principalities and powers,
against the world -rulers of this
darkness, and spiritual wickedness
In heavenly places, Victory is cer-
tain only when the Lord is with us
and only when we walk in hie will
and contend against evil in his
power. We are more than conquer-
-ors, but only through the Lord Je-
• sus Christ.
The Song of Deborah. Judges 5;1-
31. Commentators of every age,
conservative and liberal both, have
vied . with one another in their
praise of this remarkable ode. The
song of Deborah is unsurpassed in
Hebrew literature in all the quali-
ties of poetry, and holds a high
place among triumphal odes in the
literature of the world.
While Germany is reckoned, by
tradition, to be a nation of beer -
drinkers, figures show that Britain
is, in fact, the greatest beer -
drinking nation. The consumption
per head of beer in the British
Isles is given as 186 pints, while
in Germany it is 118 pints. Eng-
land ranks first as a beer con-
sumer, Austria is second and Ger-
many third. Germany, however,
drinks more hard liquors and
wines per person than England.

How To Brew
The Best Tea
One Teaspoon or Bag For Each
Cup is Recommended
Some of you may enjoy the Eng-
lish custom of serving an early
morning cup of tea with a buscuit.
Or you may like tea with any meal.
Or perhaps you look forward to the
afternoon tea hour. However you
like your tea, it must be brewed
right, says Katharine k'isher, direc-
tor of Good Housekeeping institute,
who gives this advice on how to
brew tea:
Be sure the water put on to boll
for brewing tea is fresh from the
tap. Use one teaspoon of tea or a
tea bag for each cup of tea. If you
like you can add an extra teaspoon
or bag for the pot.
Then heat the teapot with hot
water, drain it, and add the tea.
Over the tea pour the bubbling
boiled water and let stand in a
warm place to brew. Never pour
the boiling water in the pot or tea-
cup and then add the tea.
A brew of five minutes — or in
some cases a little longer, depend-
ing on the tea you use—will bring
out the flavor of the leaf. Some
people , prefer a shorter time.
