three hundred We're to cry out, "The
sword Of the Lord and of Gideon"
standing in their places. Aroused
suddenly in the night, the Midianites
thought themselves surrounded and
began to destroy each other in fight
for safety. When all was over, the
three hundred of Gideon held the field
and their enemies were slain or fed
He then called on men from other
tribes to persue after and this was
done. :.
Gideon showed another fine char.
acteristic when peace was restored
and the Midianites driven out. The
people came to him saying, be now our
king, rule over us thou and thy sons.
Note the answer of Gideon as found
in Judges S-23, II will not rule over
you, neither shall my son rule over
you, the Lord shall rule over YOU"
What better reply could have been
made? Most men, the victor in the
eyes of his people of great victory,
would have been flattered with the
request to become the king and lead.
er. Gideon put all this aside and
pointed the people to God as their
ruler.
The golden text of this lesson is TAX
en- from Zechariah and reads, mot by
might nor by power but by my Spirit,
saith Jehovah of hosts"
This is the great thought for us all.
History not alone from the bible, but
frcm hundreds Of sources, tells the
story of wonders done by those few
in number WHO have been inspirited
by patriotism, devotion. to fight for
the right. God has interviewed time

upon the railroads the authorities
have managed to improve the supply
