HAD EN- AGAIN.

A moving picture actor relates an
amusing incident that happened dur
ing the filming of Rostaind's "Chanti-
cler." This was done out of doors, and
one day while the actor was taking a
stroll he came across man seated by
the roadside with his face buried in
his hands, evidently in deep distress.
Sympatheitcally he stopped and in
quired what the trouble was.
"I'll tell you," said the man; I'm
one of the patients at the sanitarium

Fewer new plays are being put on
than at this time of year In many sea-
sons. 1t is not lack of stimulus in the
theatrical world. 1t is not just holiday
spirit when New York wakes enthusi-
astic over the present theatrical
showings. There are at least dozen
plays which have already been run
ming for months which are too good
for anyone to miss and dozen more
above the average of year-inand year
out productions. Whatever the cause
may be, it is truly season for the
ater-goers.

INTERNATIONAL BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON S w.
BY REV. w. s. BUCHANAN

when Barak saw Sisera's army drawn up, and attempting to surround the mountain on top of which he and his forces lay encamped, his heart quite failed him, and he determined to re- tire to a place of greater safety; but Deborah animated him to make a de- scent upon Sisera, assuring him that this was the day marked out in the divine counsels for his defeat.
 So Barak went down from Mount Tabor and ten thousand men after him, and Jehovah discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak.
 Deborah as National Leader
 IhlS IS the first example we have of a woman occupying the rulers place. Miriam, like Deborah, was a phophet- ess, but when Miriam aspired to have some share in national affairs, she was punished for her presumption. At that time the Israelites had in Moses far greater leader than Miriam could have been. whereas Deborah, by sheer force of character, became the acknowledged head of the tribes because she was greater than any man of her time.. IL was due to her genius and courage that something like national action by all the tribes was undertaken. Barak. whom she selected to be the comman- der-in chief of the armies, refused the position leaving that place to her, and taking himself the subordinate one of general. Barak was far inferior to her in courage, initiative. independence, contagious ardor and faith. He would not have undertaken to carry out her plans alone. It was Deborah who made the plans for the campaign, who in spired the army with courage, whose personal presence led the venture to successful issue. Hers was a heroic personality but she was strengthened for her task by her great faith in God, and to God she gave the victory
