THE STORY.

NTHEN the little baby girl came
w into that home in Ephraim and
was named Deborah the parents little
realized the future that lay before
her. In the first place there was dis.
appointment because she, the first
born child, was not boy, and then
again she was not comely child, In
that her mother found no JOY in
looking upon her face. And to make
the afIllction harder to bear, the un-
usually ugly features Of the child
gave her neighbors and the towns
people occasion to speak words OF
ridicule and scorn, for because she
and her husband had remained true
in their loyalty to the Hebrew God
and would not share in the festivities
which had been instituted in their
midst they were the objects of deri.
sion and persecution.
Now see the curse that has come
upon you. Where Is your God that
he should allow such a child to be
born to you?" they would ask her
and she and her husband secluded
themselves more and more from the
world about them.
And this was the atmosphere In
which Deborah grew up, condition
which at once stamped It's influence
upon the child and made her natu
rally recluse like her parents.
Long before the little girl was abb,
to run upon the street people as the,
passed the little home would mari
her homely features and whisper un
kind comment. The mother, keen I,
catch critical glance and the whis
pered word, would clasp her darlin,
closer to her breast and whisper II
her ear the pet words Of love and ap
probation. And when Deborah grew
old enough to mingle with the chill
dren OF the ncighborhood she earl,
became conscious Of difference be
tween her and the other girls. The,
seemed to shun her. They woult
point at her and make grimaces. Ant
often as sae passed along tho stree
of the village the boys and girl
would shout after her calling hei
names.
rhen Deborah, shy and sensitive
a. she WIS, would run to her mother
and, buryfng her face in her lap. sol

"And the children Of Israel
came up to her for Judgment"
Two thoughts arrest our atten-
tion In contemplation Of this
declaration. First the desire for
instruction In the things OF
God on the part Of the children
Of israel, and, second, the abil-
ity and privilege Of Deborah in
thus ministering the things OF
God to those In need.
II marks an epoch In the life
Of an Individual and people
when there comes realization
Of need. I can imagine that pre-
vious to this time, before op-
preston became so grievous
and while sin seemed so allur-
ina and sweet, that Israel did
not have much desire towards
God. There was then no going
up to the Bible school under
the palm trees of Deborah. The
compIacency and indifference Of
the world spirit held them.
They were dead on the God
ward side.
But when the awakening
came there began a new epoch
In their lives. All. what
bright morning ls that when
the light Of Gods truth breaks
In upon the soul, and II goes up
humble and repentant to the
place Of instruction! BLESSED
are they which do hunger and
thirst after Righteousness, for
they shall be filled"
Mans hunger for God never
exceeded the supply Of Gods
grace. The soul may take and
take and take Of the divine
fuiIness, but II can never ex-
haust II. Remember that.
And now as to Deborah.
Scripture does not give us the
particulars Of her life and tell
US how she attained to the ex-
alted place and title Of prophet
ess in Israel, but we may be
certain that II was not the re-
suit of chance or the unmerit-
ed favor of God. There was the
vision Of the pearl Of great price
and the paying Of the price to
obtain the lonsed-for treasure.
She had the genius of hard
work and the gift of persist
ency.
But the day came when De-
borah, the despised and shun-
ned, became Deborah the proph-
etess. The day came when
those who had laughed at her
religion were glad to sit at her
feet and learn Of him whom
they had despised and dishon-
ored.
Be patient, oh soul. The way
of Righteousness is lonely some
times. To walk with God
means to walk apart from
friends and loved ones so often,
but be faithful and patient. BY
thy life thou shalt help many,
and by the wayside thou shalt
be able to speak the word that
shall poin. to God.

Long Sermons.

Mark Twain tells this story. the
moral Of which you may supply your
self: II went to church one time and
was so impressed by what the preach
or told me about the poor heather
that was ready to give up hundred
dollars OF my own money and even go
out and borrow more to send to the
heather. But the minister preached
too long, and my enthusiasm began to
drop about $25 drop till there was
nothing left for the poor heather, and
by the time he was through and the
collection was taken up l stole ten
cents on the plate. e."-Southwester

exaggeration, have been 27 or % feet

SHORT WAIST BAD

Rules for the HIgh-Waisfed and the
Short-WaIsted FirIs to Follow.

A short waist is never graceful. but

that the girl with the high waist-line

USES FOR BAKING SODA.

It would be hard to find anything
that can be put to a greater variety
of uses than little package Of baking
soda. It used to be thought of as
something to stand in the kitchen and
be resorted to occasionally when there
is sour milk on hand and baking to
be done. 1t has many other uses, how
ever, even outside the realm Of cook
ing. Before leaving the kitchen, how
ever. it is well enough to remind those
people who think it is impossible TO
prepare baked beans without soaking
them over night, that this is entirely
possible if half a teaspoonful Of bak-
ing powder be added TO the water in
which they are boiled. This helps to
make them tender.
In the case of a bad burn, an ap-
plication of baking soda dampened with
a little water will give speedy relief.
For the bath baking soda is especially
cleansing and for an oily condition OF
the skin it is more effective than soap.
For hives or mosquito bites 1t is ex-
cellent. and for aching, sore or tired
feet a teaspoonful of soda in half a
cup of warm water is an old time but
excellent remedy for an acid condition
Of the stomach.
The use of baking soda for cleaning
purposes has already been mentioned
in this column. II is excellent fol

in half a bucket OF water makes q
