con and his army rose early on that
eventful day and they came by the
spring of Harod. Over against them
was the host of the Midianites In bat
tie array.
2. The Sitting of Gideons Army
wv. 2-s). At Gideons call $4,000 men
responded, ready for the struggle. This
seemed a small army to go against the
Midlanite army, 10000 strong, but
God said this was too many, lest they
be led to boasting and Self-contidence.
The real danger was not in their small
army but in their pride. All that were
afraid were allowed to go back, leav
ing only 10000 Still this was too
many. When God was through sitting,
My 300 remained.
3. God Gives Encouragement TO
Gideon He bade Gideon 20 down to
the Midianite camp, where he would
bear something that would cheer his
heart and strengthen his hand. When
he came near he heard a man telling
Il dream, which was that of barley
cake tumbling into the camp and smit-
ing it, He also heard the interpreta-
tion given to the dream which made
Gideon to be that cake.
4. God Gives Victory to Gideon wv.
1929. His attack was unique. The
whole matter was of faith (Heb. Il :32).
Gideon with his 800 men formed into
three companies, each man being pro-
vided with trumpet and a lamp con-
cealed within a pitcher. Thus armed
they surrounded the camp of the MI
dianites. They were all instructed to
keep their eyes upon their leader and
initiate him. At the proper moment
they blew their trumpets and broke
their pitchers, giving opportunity for
the lamps to shine out. This awful
crash of broken pitchers, following the
sound Of trumpets, accompanied by the
shout, "The sword of the Lord and of
Gideon" threw the Midlanites into a
panic. causing them to fight among
themselves. One hundred and twenty
thousand were thus slain. leaving but
$4,000 of that mighty army (Judg.
8 :10).

A very wide barn requires too much
extra foundatiOning Ia the shape OF

complicated, not to mention the
matter of lighting. IL would make
the inner row of stalls too dark to be

In this barn the cows face each

sides. The advantage of this is that
sunlight falls on the cutters and stalls

The usual stall runs from 3 feet 2

of cleanliness Is Offset by discomfort

stall allows the MANURE to fall to the
