Golden Text: Be strong in the
Lord and the strength of his might.
Eph.; 6:10
The Lord of All Battles.
We go away back many hundreds
of years to find the beginning of the
cause of the distress of the Israelites,
when the stage was set for their
deliverance in this instance. Who
were the Midianites. and why were
they troubling the Israelites? Back
many hundreds of years we find
Abraham with his wife Sarah, they
were well along in years, they had
tome from far off Chaldea, and at
the command of Jehovah, they had
left friend and kindred, that they
might obey the voice of the Lord.
When they had come thus far, and
had been promised that Jehovah'
would give them children as the
sands by the seashore without num
ber, and uncountable by man, they
were well past the time when they
were likely to have offspring. Sarah,
who was barren for most of her life,
doubted as to their being the parents
of any one who would fulfill the
promise of God. She even laughed
when she heard the angel tell Abra
ham, that they would have an heir
born to them.
So Sarah gave Hager, her servant,
to Abraham for a second wife or a
concubine, and from this was a child
born, and this was their undoing
for when the child was born to
Abraham and the servant Hager.
which was called Ishuorl. Hager felt
the " honor of being the mother of
Abraham's son, and so treated Sarah
with contempt which aroused hex
anger, and she demanded that Abra
ham send Hager and her child away,
which he did. and the prophecy was
made regarding Iinuorl, that he
should be as free as the wild ass
and he was. for he became an out
law as it was. and from him in the
after years came this tribe of Mid
ianites, which so harrassed Israel
at this time, they were in sore dis
tress. This band came and when
the crops were ready for harvest
they took them for they had tbr
forceful numbers, and ' when the
crops were ready the following year,
the came again and this practice had
continued for a number of years.
The home of the Miadianites was
in the south of Israel, and they liv
ed on both sides of the Gulf of
Aeauah, 'which is the east arm of
the Red Sea. and it was there where
Moses went for the forty years when
h was away from Egypt.
On the hand of the Israelites, let
us now see where and when thi?
battle -'Hras fought. We are now in
thx pe, iod of the Judges, which fol
lows tfir'death' bf "Caleb 'and Joshua,
and were the "leaders of Israel ir.
the last lesson.
There wefe fifteen Judges of which
the fifth was Gideon of Manassah
Each of the judges had in a way de
livered Israel out of the hand of
thfir oppressors, and before Gideon
had come( Othneil a nephew of Cal
eb, who had delivered the Israelites
from an invasion of the peoples east
of the Euphrates river. Then did
Eludfi the left-handed warrior of the
tribe of Benjamin, deliver the Israel
ites from an attack of the people of
Moab. Later Shamgar of Judah. suc
ceeded in routing the enemy wher
he personally killed six hundred of
the Phalistines with an ox goad
or stick which was used to drive
the ox teams with. Then came
Deborah, a phophetess of Ephriam,
and Barak a warrior of Xaptali. who
conquered Siscra, a leader of the
Cannaanites with ten thousand men.
Things after this went the way
that they had been going with the
tribes and nations outside of Lsrael,
making incursions into the country,
robbing, killing and destroying th
homes, property and crops, whst
they did not carry away, and thr
situation was very grave at the
time which this lessen begins.
There had come an army of iJ.
000 Midianitecs, who were on thei'
rinual tour cf destruction and rob
bery. The people did not ku-jw.
which way to urn for help, and an
ar.gel came to Gideon who v.-a?
thrashing wheat with a flail and was
secreted in a cave in a rock that he
might not be discovered by the peo
ple who had come to robe the Israel
ites. The angel came to call him to
action.
When the angel had presented his
case and appealed to Gideon, the lat
ter prepared something for the visi
tor to eat not knowing it was ar
angel, and with a wave of his hand
the angel set fire to the repast and
it was consumed. At this Gideon
was assured that God was to be with
him. and he blew the "trumpet, andJ
the warriors of Manasseh, came those
also of Asher, Zebulun and Naphtali,!

er one. and the Lord told Gideon that
the number was too -large and told
him to take them to the riv,er and
there they would be, trie d. Soon the.
t t mad. an'd thos(r which
drank as a deg lapping the water,
were selected, there being only three
hundred as again the 135.000. This
jmust jaave h.eexi a great trial xf the
faith of the farmer Gideon, but he
stood, for what was the use of go
ing back to the plow with the maur
auring bands of the enemy pillaging
(his own farm and that of his neigh-
bors, it was with his faith of the
great Jehovah, up to them to quit
themselves like men. This they did.
and when the MidianiteB encamped
themselves opposite iie small band
of three hundred men, they lept in
the secure belief that in the morn
ing they would mop up the Israelites,
and as they sat by their campfire
they talked and Gideon with anoth
er soldier of his band crawled up
near their camp and heard the peo
ple talk, a.nd one man was telling
a dream how the wind blew a Lar
ley cake from the camp of Israel and
as it rolled with the wind it stuc"--one
of the tents of the Midianiter
and destroyed it.
This was an assurance to Gideon
as he listened that he was the bar
ley cake, that God was the wind
which was to restroy the enemy, so
he organized his forces, compelling
each to have a lighted torch inside
a pitcher and also a trumpet, and
dividing the three hundred into
three companies, with one hundred
in each, at a given signal in the
night brake their pitchers, and blow
ing their trumpets, attacked the
Midianites, shouting as they went
and the frightened enemy fled and
as they went trampled down their
own people and the entire 135,000
were routed, they racing for the
fords of the Jordan on the east for
they were on the historic battlefield
which during the ages has seen many
fierce and bloody battles. Esdralean.
and was the scene of a battle even
in the World war. It was here that
Paul and Johnathan were killed, and
Napoleon the Great also fought on
this field. Gideon dispatched cour
iers to intercept the enemy at the
fords of the river and great was the
battle there.
Before Gideon entered in this con
flict, he had his people purify them
selves, for they were worshiping
idols, and his father was one of
them. The people did not like to de
stroy the puny gods but Gideon in
sisted and they were dest roved, and
the groves where they had worship
ped were cut down. It was another
case where when the people follow
ed the command of Jehovah they suc
ceded for had the people not for
gotton the Lord they would cot ir
the first place been troubled with
the maraudering bands of the enemy.
As the next lesson is a love story
and one which has a very tender
line running through it we will look
at some of the intervening history
which brings us to the setting of the
one of the beautiful stories in the
Bible.

followed by Jair of Gilead who had
thirty sons who rode on thirty asses,
they also havine: thirty cities and
this judge ruled Israel for thirty-two
years. Then came Jeptheh. who
freed the children of Israel from the
oppression of the Fhilestines and
Ammorites and who in fulfillment of
an oath killed his own daughter for
some trivial infraction and his com
mand. Then came Idzan of Zebulun who
judged Israel for seven years, and
was followed by Elcn of the same
tribe, who ruled for ten years, and
then by Abdon of Ephraim whe

The Social Circle club met with
Mrs. Ezra Albin Friday Nov. 18 with

minerals and advised the mixing of
one's own miri?rals and feed:? at r
much less cost and as rich in pro-
tene.
The club wrote down tlie minem.!

Afternoon Will Ering Case
to Jury.
From Tuesday's Daily
The case of the State of Nebraska
vs. Josh Hammon,i Is still grinding
away in the district court at 3 o'clock
today and the expectation is that th
case will reach the Jury before tho
adjournment for the night.
The defendant is charged in the
complaint with having stolen seventy-four
head of hogs of the value of
some ?2,000 from the Hayward heg
ranch near Cullom and with him in
the complaint was also named Ray
Denham.
The testimony of Troy Manzcr
foreman of the ranch was to the ef
fect that he had been approached by
Hammond with the proposition of
taking some of the hogs from the
ranch and celling them and that
Manzer had laid the matter before
the Peters Trust Co., administrator
of the states and they had in
structed him to go ahead and ar
range the affair. He also testified
that he and Hammond luul viittJ
Denham at Cedar .Creek and arrang
ed for the shipping of the hogs In
the name of Hammond to the South
Omaha market.
Denham; who was charged with
Hammond in the complaint way one
of the strongest witnesses of the state
as he testified against Hammond in
regard to conversations and the ar
rangements for the shipping of the
hogs. .
The defense which is being offer
ed by Mr. Hammond is that he was
approached by Manzer with an offer
to buy the seventy-four hogs at p
very low price and which he agreed
to do and under which arrangements
they were shipped. It is also claimed
by the defense that the affair war
arranged in an effort to "frame" the
defendant Hammond and try and se
cure some evidence that might be
used in securing a conviction of
Hammond. It' was 'contended by the
defense that the whole affair was
prcparpd and carried out by the trus
tees of the Hayward estate and that
they had ordered the cars loaded and
the price paid for the hogs had been
turned over to the Peters Trust com
pany. ' -' - "
At the morning session toxlay a
large number of character witnesses
were offered in support of the pre
vious reputation of Hammond in the
locality where he resided near Cul

called by the defense in attacking
the reputation of Manzer, the chic.'
