Bible School Sunday, July 24th "Gideon; Following God's Plan" Judges 7:1-7, 15-23. We study today the character and the exploits of one of God's nobel lP.en. whose name is enrolled in the "hall of fame." (Heb. 11:32). Sam uel speaks of him (I Sam. 12:11); Asoph sings of him (Ps. S3:9). In ls;. 0:1-S, we find his achievement extolled. Nothing is known of his youth: his father's name was Joash from the tribe of Manasseh. and he was called of God ( 1256 15. C. ) He was a man of undaunted courage, and simple faith in God, after mak ing sure that he was right and un derstood his orders, he tested God Cod (with the fleece) as God tested him (with the 300 men). He was called by an angel, while threshing wheat. The salutation of the angel: "The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valour." bewildered him. (See Judges 6:11-33). Gideon was to be a deliverer to Israel, who had forsaken God. who used the heathen tribes Midiamites and Amalekites to punish them, for seven years, when these tribes would invade Canaan and steal the harvest when ripe, which was worse than a drouth. Then they turned to God in their trouble, and God heard their cry, and sent a prophet to them, who re buked them, showed them how un grateful they had been and how they had forgotten their benefactor. It was then that God found his man, who should deliver them from their oppressors. But God cannot pardon sin until the sinner confesses his sins and comes to God with a con trite heart and penitent spirit. Several incidents preceded the ac tual preparation for war: (1) the destruction of his father's altar to n iifctmeii uou, liaai, ana tne up rooting of the grove, which was re pented by the people and put him in jeopardy of his life; his father was called upon to deliver him to be stoned, but his father gave a wise answer: "If Baal is a god, let him contend for himself because one hath broken down his altar." (2) His confirmation by the miracle of the fleece. Many servants of Christ have been led to ask for some visible token as a certain indication of God's pres ence and definite leading, and have been given such token Moses, Paul but we should not continually ask for such tokens, but believe the Word. Now the call to arms goes out and 3 2.000 men respond; but a small army against 135.000. But God says there are too many, they will boast after the battle that they won the battle. A tiffins process all those afraid to fight in this unequal strug On Friday evening of this week Miss Anna Hart will be hostess to four of her friends in what is known as Foresome No. 1, when she will provide a very enjoyable evening for the ladies and where contract bridge and a lunch will be features of the evening. The gathering will be en joyed by Mrs. George Olive, Mrs. S. Ray Smith and Mrs. I. R. Markland. Fred Allen and Mae Michelsen chanced to have their birthdays come near together and a number of their friends of which Mr. and Mrs. Ross Shields were a portion, last Sunday had a surprise party on the two. The occasion was celebrated at the spot on the hill where the trailer of Mr. Shields is located and a very delight ful time was had with a picnic dinner served near the trailer in the eve ning. Builds a New Boat. Albert Tuck is just now completing a boat which is a beauty and will have the capacity for holding nearly a ton. The boat will be equipped with a gas motor which will make a fast bit of transportation and this will serve admirably for carrying camping equipment and fishing ap paratus. Attending- C. II. T. C. Through the efforts of Postmaster Sterling Amick. his son Verne Amick and Raymond Myers who have been desiring to attend the C. M. T. C. camp at Fort Crook, were able to attend. The camp period will cover a month. Mr. Amick accompanied the young men to the camp last Tuesday morning. Returns From Wheat Harvest. One of the merchants of Weeping Water, in speaking about the wheat harvest which is just now about over, said he had three customers who had told him a few days ago that follow- ing the threshing and cleaning up after the wheat harvest had been Lesson Study! Ey L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. gle, may go home. '. God said, there are Another eliminating :2.tK0 go home! still too many, process reduced the number to 300. who had proven themselves men to be ready and who could be relied upon when needed. The 22.000 fearful men fear is con tagious would have been the cause of sure defeat: so in the church fill ed with fearful men, they see the enemy, their number, their entrench ed position, and say. "We cannot win." Naturally enough when beset with that feeling, they do not win. See the liquor forces with the law and government on their side, and the small number willing to en gage them it is little David against Goliath. In the name of the Lord, they can be overcome. "Not bv might nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord." (Zech. 4; 6). The 300 had the promise of God: "One thous and shall flee at the rebuke of one." (Isa. 30:17). But in this case it was one against 450. These 300 the batallion of death received their trumpets and water pitchers from those who went home. There were no weapons in Israel. The battleground is the old familiar plain of Jesreel or Miggido here the Midianites gathered. Gideon in structs his band of 30l. The war cry agreed upon is: "The sword of Jehovah and Gideon." The night befre the battle God tells Gideon to go and spy on the enemy. He went with his servant, Purah, and overheard a conversa sation. (See Chapt. 7:9-15). When the zero hour came about midnight the 300 men being placed about the camp, and upon a signal, given by Gideon, the army blew their trumpets rams' horns broke their pitchers, showing their torches and snouting the war cry. As a result of all this commotion, confusion reign ed in the camp. The enemy done the rest, as in confusion, they killed each other, and before daylight the bat tle was over a complete rout. That is God's way so he can win victories over the force's of unright eousness with a faithful few. So was the church established, so were her borders extended by the pioneers ethers come and reap. The history of this great and courageous leader ends in a tragedy. What he had destroyed in his zeal when called lf the angel, he rebuilt before he died. He had many wives, also a concubine, seventy sons in the family, and one of the concubine, who became a curse to the family. A study of chapter S gives a full account of his sin and the end of his family, as well as his own much like David and Solomon. But God rev arded them for the good they did. completed and the paying of the ac counts incident to the growing of their wheat crop, one had just $11.00 left, while a second had only $10.00 and the third had $S3.00. There had been the summer's work and not enough in two instances to pay a two week's grocery bill, while the third would not go far in liquidating the necessities of life for a very long time. We are not a pessimist but it takes more than this kind of re turns to bring prosperity back. Congressman Luckey Visits Here. Congressmen Henry C. Luckey was looking after some business matters in Weeping Water Tuesday of this week and was meeting with State Senator Fred L. Carsten and master Sterling Amick. Post Euilds a New Granary.
