Deeply impressed by all the stirring
incidents OF the afternoon, the com
pany departed, and as Deborah was
borne back to her tent, she remarked
to Jacob:
Surely, it has been good to be here.
God hath met with us this day. Now
shall my spirit depart in peace. for
mine eyes have beheld a foregleam OF
the promised blessing"
And that night the vision of angels
was Deborah's portion, and with the
angels her spirit assembled to the pres
ence of God, and all that they found
resting in her tent the next morning
was the lifeless body, and on her face
the smile that was left there when
she greeted her Heavenly visitors
and gladly Joined them in their up
ward fight. And they carried her to
the oak beneath which she had set
the day before, and there with many
tears and much weeping, they buried
her, and Jacob called the name Of

Illustrative Points.

The temple was the symbol and type
of Gods spiritual temple, both the in
dividual Christian and the whole people
Of God q Cor. 3:10-16).
The first thing for each n who would
build the Temple of the Church and of
Society is to be himself atemple OF the
Holy Ghost.
The true Christian character when
complete is q beautiful and costly tenn
pie. Compare Solomon's temple. The
exiles' temple was 20 years. and Herod's
temple was 46 years in building. but
many a soul requires more years than
these for Its completion.

Hints About Screws.

where screws are driven into soft
wood and subjected To considerable
strain they are very likely to work
loose, ana 1t is often difficult to make
them hold. In such cases the use OF
glue Is profitable. Make the glue thick

the screw and put it into the hole

home as quickly as possible. When
there is an article of furniture to be
hastily repaired and no glue Is at hand.

or the cavity with pulvcrizcd rosin,
then heat the screw sufficiently to melt

screws are driven into wood for tenn
