recalls to the apostolic word, BE am

puts into a thunderous injunction, "A

That last day in the camp of Israel
appeals to the imagination. Every
body was keyed up to the highest pitch
There was little sleep for anybody
Happily, the order for the day required
an early start for that seven-fold
march around the city-no small task,
being a journey of twenty or thirty
miles,
1t was toward evening when long

Joshua gave the expected word
Shout. for Jehovah hath given you

the walls are still up? God hath Civ

so. That is victory by anticipation

We Aknow now that these forces have

them. "This is the Lords doings, and

Of it all concerns us less than the
stupendous truth that God is on the

Other Walls That Fall.

marvellous, let him look upon greater

GIVES DIRECTIONS FOR WINNING
THE VOTE, DRAWING LESSONS
FROM HOME STATE.

Washington, D. c., Dec 3.--The in.
| tricacies and the hard work of state
campaign for woman suffrage were de.
scribed today by Miss Helen Eaker OF
Lawrence, Kan, in an address at the
annual convention Of the National
Woman Suffrage association. Miss
Eaker drew her lessons from the sue.
cessful campaign recently conducted
by the organization Of her own state.
Excepting SAL sent by other states
and $4,000 from the national organtza-
ton, Miss Eaker said, the women of
Kansas raised funds Tor their work by
voluntary contributions. Their organ
| ization charged no membership fee,
and she believed the larger member
ship that resulted from this plan more
than offset, in increased enthusiasm,
any financial loss. This money was
used to establish headquarters, send

lion.
1--WE had much literature from the
national association" she continued
| but found there were many things
we must publish that would fit our own
Leeds. We had literature published in
Croatian, Swedish, French and Ger
man. Our own Kansasans furnished
the copy.
while we were bending every en-
orgy to- persuade all speakers in every
chautauqua and other public places to
speak for us in the course of their re-
| marks, we told our workers in good
big black type that they must stick to
their subject and not insert in their
remarks any other ism, doctrine, politi-
cal or humanitarian belief. Suffrage
was our sole faith" In conclusion
Miss Eaker summarized her recon-
mendations as follows:
Establish headquarters early"
Choose harmonious forces for the
work there.
Have the press chairman one of the
office force.
"A big campaign bank account.
"Organizers of personality who can
create favorable sentiment
Constant communication between
headquarters and all parts of the king

The International Sunday School Les
son for December 7 Is: 1.-THE Fall Of
Jericho" Josh. 5, s.
(By William T. Ellis).

Down in Atlanta the modern host OF
Joshua went up against the citadel OF
the legalized social evil, and began to
horns-or what was the modern equi
valent thereof, daily newspaper adver.
tisements. At first Jericho jeered
Then 1t mistrusted. Then it feared
Then the citadel collapsed. The Old
Testament story was repeated once
more.
In truth the fall of Jericho is word
picture Of human experience, which is
every day illustrated. This is the vic.
tory even your faith" The
conuuests Of confidence are daily oc-
currence in business, as well as in re-
ligion. 1t Is an eternal law that Jer-
ichos fall before the trumpets Of faith,
According to your faith be 1t unto
you One reason more citadels of sin
do not fall is because Christians sit
covering and complaining in their
tents, making fears futile plans, in
stead of marching forth to confident
assault, remembering that 1.-The right
eous are bold as lion" and that the
promise is that one man shall chase a
thousand. Let us go to Jericho and
learn lesson in the art of spiritual
warfare.
A Fresh Start In The New Land.
There was nothing rash about the
seige. The Israelites viewed the sit
uation with deliberation They sent
forth their spies. They took all pre-
cautions They made sure of their Or
ders. Because they had made ready,
they did not get panicky It is the I'M
prepared who go to pieces in an emer-
gency.
The end of one stage of their ma
terial life had ceased. Jordan had
been crossed. The mamma had ceased.
New responsibilities had come upon
them. Having become men they put
ar.ay childish dependence. Hence
forth they must maintain themselves
by the fruit Of the land-which in
cluded Jericho! The person who wants
the privileges of manhood with none
Of it's responsibilities and tasks, has
really never grown up.
The program for the conquest Of
Jericho, as laid down by Jehovah, was
almost absurdly simple. For the host
of Israel, led by the ark and the
priests, were to march once a Cay
around the citadel for six days, and
seven times on the seventh day. They
were to go in silence, giving no heed to
the taunts Of the warriors lining the
walls. They were not to boast or to
shake their weapons in defiance. Taunt
was not to be answered with tannt,
jeer with jeer. A new fashion was
introduced into warfare. This process
sion was more like a religious core
mony than a military sege. That was
the Planners idea; the glory should go
to God, and not to mans prowess. The
priests led off in the steady march Of
the disciplined Israelites. The ark was
frst< The symbol Of Jehovah was CIV
en- precedence.
The Silence Of Strength.
Can any one wonder that the thing
got on Jerichos nerves? The silence
Of the marchert was more terrifying
than the familiar shouting of warriors.
Already the fame of Jehovah's deal
ings with Israel had turned the hearts
of the heather to water. Now this
assumed silence spelled an uncanny
