 Willing to Talk
 In view of the activities Of the Connecticut officers, it is believed in police circles they may have obtain cd important information as q result Of their talks with the escaped con- Victs. At headquarters the trio said they were willing to talk of condi- tions as they had found them at Wcthcrstjcid.
 Hickey and Bradley later went to local police headquarters with a stcnoGraphcr to take statements. In view of the fact that they are not concerned with the Florida angle of the case it is believed the StatC- mcnts were in relation to the situa- ton in WcthcrsfiCld.
 In the plot to escape. it is learned. each of the trio had his own part 10 play within the prison walls. La- lonc's alleged proficiency in stealing cars is said to have been depended on by the other two to help them in their flight after leaving the jail.

highest experiences. 1t is against
this background Of a people lack
ing faith and courage and weak
under oppression that Deborah's
own faith and power of action
stand out.
1t was probably not the first
time in history that woman's con-
secration to a great task had in
spired new hope and action in
those round about her, nor was
it to be the last. One thinks of
Deborah as a sort of matronly
Joan of Arc,>> fired with zeal and
spirit, conscious of a voice lead
ing her forward and giving her
strength. AS Moses stands as the
great type of iberator and law
giver, so Deborah has captured
the human imagination as the
striking figure of woman.J leader
ship and judgment.
1t is a noteworthy point that her
womanliness seems to stand out
rather strongly in the narrative. We
are not told great deal concern
ing her, and we can fill in the pic
ture only largely through our i'm
agination, but there is nothing in
the portrayal that suggests anything
but womanly virtues deeply conse-
Grated to the service of her people.
1t is now over a hundred years
since Mary Wollstonecraft wrote a
book in vindication of the rights Of
woman, around the doctrine that
there is no sex in souls. Whatever
the truth about that there is GER
tainly little evidence of sexual dis
elimination in Gods providential
use and guidance of His creatures.
A conSecrated woman is as capable
of being used fQT high ends and
purposes as is a consecrated man.
Happy the age that finds Deborah
when a Moses is lacking!

XXTE are apt to think of woman's
w active participation in public
affairs as Of relatively late date,
coming to its climax only during
the last few years. Perhaps, how
ever, few things are more remark
able in history than the way in
which, despite the general relega-
ton Of women to a place inferior to
man, women have, none the less,
achieved conspicuous leadership and
rendered profound service.
Here is a crisis in the affairs of
Israel, in a time of unsettlement,
when Israel was surely in need f
leadership, it is interesting to- find
the chief leadership intruSted to a
woman. Deborah, we note, was
also a married woman. Whatever
her personal or home obligations
may have been, they had become
enlarged by the strength and rich
ness of her character, for she was
not only a leader in the civil life
judge of Israel, but she was
prophecies. 1t was her prophetic
vision and messages that had no
doubt given her pre- -eminence in the
nation.
1t is rather a stately picture that
We have of her dwelling under the
palm tree that had become associ-
ated with her name-a notable tree
in the hill country of Ephraim,
whittier the children of Israel came
to her for Judgment.
The influence of good women has
never been greater than when it
has been exercised upon met, and
Deborah's power seemed to lie large
ly in her capacity to inspire and
guide others. She called Barak and
gave him a military commission to
go to Mt. Tabor and take with him
10000 men to fight Sisera, a cap
tain of Jabin'S army, who had 900
chariots of iron, and who for twenty
years had nightly oppressed the
children of Israel.
Barak was not altogether ready
for his task. He evidently feared
the greatness of the power which
Deborah was urging him to fight;
but he had profound faith in De-
borah, so much so that he declined
to go without her; but he agreed
to so if Deborah would accompany
him. Deborah did not depend mere
~ upon womanly influence. she was
woman of decisive action. She
announced her readiness to go with
Barak. though she also rebuked his
lack of manfulnesS by reminding
him that he should have no honor
out of the encounter. as Sisera would
fall through the hand of = woman.
The upShot of the whole matter
need not be fully 6welt upon. De-
borah's prediction fell true, and
Sisera succumbed to assassination
at the hand of Jael. whose vigor
and determination rather than her
womanlineSs seemed manifest in
the driving of a nail into SiSera's
skull.
1t must be remembered that
the whole period was one OF un-
settlement when the life of Israel
was in some measure disorgan-
lied. and there was y lack Of that
patient zeligious enthusiasm char
acteristic. Of the people in their
