THE MARYLAND BIBLE SOCIETY'S CORNER
'"The Word of Our God Shall Stand Forever

Joash therefore begged his celestial
visitor until a present could be pre-.
pared for him. The gift, in the form
of kid, unleavened cakes and broth
was duly offered. Whereupon the ange
ordered Gideon to place these things
upon rock. "And then arose up fire
out of the rock and consumed the flesh
and the unleavened cakes" Then feal
assailed Gideon, because he had looked
upon the angel. However, he built an
altar there, regarding the spot ever
after as sacred to Jehovah.
The Lord next commanded Gideon
to destroy the altar of Baal and the
sacred grove around it, using one of
his fathers bullocks as a sacrifice
upon the altar of Jehovah which he
had built. This was done in the night,
lest the people might interfere.
Threatened with death by the idol
aters, he is rescued by his father,
who argued with his enraged neigh
bors that if Baal were really god he
could defend his own altars.
Gideon makes his supreme test by
the sign of the fleece, which on one
night is wet with dew, while the earth
around it remained dry, the process
being reversed the next night. His
faith is still further tried by the re-
duction Of his army from 10000 to
300.
Upon making a reconnaissance by
night Gideon overhears one of the
Midianites relate a dream to his fel-
low soldiers, which greatly encour-
ages the Israelitish leader. This dream
was of barley cake rolling into the
camp of INDIAN, shifting a tent so
that it crashed to the ground. The
dream was interpreted by the soldier
who heard it as "the sword of Gideon,
the son of Joash."
The plan of attack was unique. No
army ever went to battle with strang-
er equipment: trumpets, empty pit
chers and lamps. The Israelites, divid-
ing into three companies of one hun
dred each, armed in this manner, ap-
preached the Midianites from three
different directions at once. At given
signal Gideon's band blew their trum-
pets, shouting: "The sword of the
Lord and of Gideon" at the same time
breaking the pitchers. The Midianites,
hearing this unearthly noise and see
ing the lamps flashing like fambeaux
in the eerie darkness, believed Nigh
ay army was upon them. The con-
fusion caused the sword of every man
to turn against his neighbor. Thus did
the Lord use Gideon to win mighty
victory over the Midianites.

GIDEON

Gideon is we'll named in the Scrip
tures-the Mighty Man of Valor. He
was the son of Joash, of the tribe of
Manasseh, and received his call to de-
liver Israel when the nation had again
forsaken God, and, because of their
lapses, fallen prey to the Midianite
robbers who desolated the country and
made the life Of the inhabitants in
tolerable.
While Gideon was threshing wheat,
treading the grain from the straw
with oxen, or using the ancient fail,
an angel of the Lord appeared to
him and sat under an oak in Ophrah,
a village belonging to Joash, where
he delivered the summons to leader
ship. Gideon's faith refused to accept
the fact Of Jehovah's interest in his
people and desire to aid them. "If the
Lord be with u.s." said he, "why then
is all this befallen US" What a per-
fectly human reaction to the ills of
life!
He further objects to the proffer of
leadership because of the poverty of
his family and his own obscurity.
Gideon believed in testing his ex-
periences. Perhaps the angel was not
real. He might vanish the moment
Gideon turned his back. The son of

NATIONAL AFFAIRS
BY FRANK P. LITSCHERT

A few weeks ago the Supreme
Court of the United States handed
down decision fixing certain phases
of the balance of power between the
executive and legislative departments.
The decision is one which will go
down in history as a great American
judicial achievement. A few days ago
the United States Senate, in defeat
ing the resolution for American ad-
herence to the World Court, rendered
a service to the American people that
is equally wise, and equally funda-
mental.
The Republican., 1935-02-07

1t is to be remembered, however,
that the votes against the World
Court did not come from any one
school of political thought or any one
section of the country. Men oppos-
ing the Court came from the West,
the Middle West, the North, the South
and the East. Conservative Della
ware and conservative Rhode Island
joined with liberal Montana, liberal
Washington, and agricultural Iowa, to
oppose the resolution.

RIO GRANDE CITY, Nov. To-
Northeastern Mexico's most preten-
tious develcpment-the transforma-
ton Of a million acres Of land from
desert to garden by means Of a
gigantic dam on the San Juan riv-
er, a tributary Of the Rio Grande-is
expected TO get under way on jan
uary ]. 1886. according to authentic
information received here from Mex
lean sources late this week.
The San Juan dam project will
cost about 100000 pesos, or near
ly s 9,000,000 according to estimates
OF Mexican government engineers
who have been and are now doing
preliminary work on the project.
The damsite selected is about Is
miles upstream from the junction OF
the San Juan and the Ric Grande, a
short distance west Of Rio Grande
City. II is near the town of Azuear.
Not only will the dam provide a lake
from which huge amounts OF water
can be taken TO irrigate an estimated
100000 acres OF land but il will
also serve to control the high. swift
llcodS OF the San Juan, a compare
lively short but none the less danger

San Juan control project is Of par

its habit of dumping huge volumes
Of water into the boundary stream
in the early fall when the latter is
already in flood as the result OF ma
tural conditions over its own water
shed.
The project is the first TO be un-
dertaken in northeastern Mexico
but Is being started on q much
larger scale than that in the Texas
Valley just across the Rio Grande. II
will serve an area Of about 1000 to S.
600 square miles, although the entire
section Is not irrigable because Of
topography. Present plans call for a
gravity-tlow irrigation system which
will eleminate construction of cost
" pumping plants to lift the water
TO higher levels. The Texas Valley
has millions OF dollars invested in
these giant plants.
Reliable sources estimate that
about 5000 men will go TO work the
first Of January and will clear the
damsite and start other prelimin-
airy work, requiring about three
weeks. II will be necessary TO build
new roads to the project from Mon
terrey. capital OF Nuevo Leon, and
additional expenditures will be
neceSSitated in providing machin-
cry for the project.
Few details concerning the dam it.
self have been made available by en-
gineers planning the project and in
formation concerning the engineer
ing tasks involved is still indefinite.
Engineers consulted in Matamoros,
lamps, several weeks ago on the
project and outlined the beginning OF
work on a flood control project near
MatamoroS to cost 1,800,00 pesos
and to be finished before the start
Of work on the San Juan dam. Pre-
liminary work has been under way
along the San Juan for the past two
years and construction Of the dam
itself is expected to be completed
during 1889.

with extraordinary Developments In

its greatest forward steps with such
important facts as double drop

glass. and i~nterlocking bodies and

Economy OF curse was all-im-
