Scarcely had the breath of life left
Gideon's body when the tickle 1sra-
elites turned again toward Baal, max
ing Baal-berith their god. About this
time Abimelech, one of Gideon's sons,
entered into conspiracy to seize the
government of Israel and declare him
self dictator. Accordingly he called to-
gether the Shechemites and COM
muned with them, urging the wisdom
of accepting him as their ruler, rather
than an oligarchy such as all the sons
of Jerubbaal might represent. He ad-
ded the personal touch to his argu-
ment by saying: Remember also that
I am your bone and your flesh" Won

Lincoln Wordage Beats
Bible and Shakespeare

A BRAHAM LINCOLN'S writings
a and speeches now in print exceedi
in volume of words both the Bible and
the works of Shakespeare, accordingi
to information by DR.. Louis Warren,
director of the Lincoln National Lifei
foundation, writes Fort Wayne Und)
United Press correspondent.
In 1772, after three years of work,
an English man found that the Bible
contained 926,S77 words. Shake
speare's complete works have been es-
timated to contain 1,024,000 words.
The written and spoken words of Lin
coin total approximately 1,07S,365
words, according to Doctor Warren.
While the Bible and Shakespeare's
works are complete, many of Lincoln's
writings and speeches still are unpub-
lished The count did not include Lin
coins own personal papers, the tra-
ditional Lincoln anecdotes, or the many
personal letters which are still in pri-
vate hands.

But the fig tree said, Should I forsake

Then said the trees unto the vine,
Come thou, and reign over US. And
the vine said unto them, Should I
leave my wine, which cheereth God

unto the bramble, Come thou, and

unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint
