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

and began to set themselves in battle
array against the assembled tribes.
All told there were but 26,700 Ben
jamites opposed to 100000 tribesmen
composed of the allied band. However
they had one regiment of TOO chosen
men left-handed. Every one could
sling stones at a hairbreadth and not
miss. These were the sharpshooters of
the tribe of Benjamin. However, the
great allied army was made up of
seasoned warriors.
In the three-day battle that was
soon joined, the Benjamites from the
fortified city of Gibeah were at first
successful, making the first day a
sortie in which $4,000 of the attack
ers were slain. The second days bat
tie was no less successful, saving that
only $4,000 of the Israelites died in
battle. But on the third day the be-
sieging army adopted a ruse. Pre-
tending to be overpowered by the Ben
jamites they simulated retreat, hav-
ing left along the ways outside the city
shock troops in ambush. These fell
upon the pursuing Benjamites, COM
pletely surprising them, and Destroy
ing almost their entire army. Twen-
ty-fve thousand and one hundred fell
in battle on that day, leaving only 600
men of Benjamin to perpetuate the
tribe.
These six hundred men took refuge
in a rocky fastness at Rimmon, where
they remained four months. Then fol-
lowed a wasting of the towns of Ben
jamin with fire and a general slaugh-
ter of the people and their focks,
until only the refugees at Rimmon
remained.
By this time the wrath of Israel
was appeased and the allies began to
think what could be done to save the
remnant of Benjamin. They had en-
tered into a solemn oath not to per-
nit their daughters to marry the Ben
jamites, but if the tribe was to be
preserved, some plan must be found
by which the 600 soldiers at Rimmon
could reestablish homes.
Then the Israelites hit upon ter
rible expedient. They invaded Jabesh-
Gilead, slew all the males and all the
women who were married, but carried
away 400 virgins, whom they allotted
as wives to the Benjamites. However,
this left 200 bachelors in the army of
Benjamin. This problem was solved
by the 200 young men in most ro-
mantle, if not altogether ethical, man.
ner. When the daughters of Shiloh
celebrated their dance at vintage time,
the Benjamites lay in hiding near the
vineyards and as the girls of Shiloh
danced under the full moon they
caught wives of them that danced, re-
turned with these more or less will
ing brides to their own lands and re-
paired the cities and dwelt in them.
Thus was the tribe of Benjamin per-
petuated.

that the old man and the little boy
were better able to carry the dom
key than the donkey was to carry
them.
At this the old man tied the
legs of the donkey together and
he and his grandson staggered
into town with the beast swinging
between them on a pole. Soon 4
mob of laughing, hooting people
were accompanying them down
the street. Whereupon the old
man in despair, threw the donkey
into the river.
Pleasing everybody is just as
possible as to follow every path
one sees.
The bat tried to please every
body. He got the gods to make
him a body so he could hobnoo
with the beasts, and wings so he
could fly with the birds. As re-
suit he has to hide out in dark
and unfrequented places-neither
beast nor bird.
The only way to please every
body is to say nothing, do nothing
and be nothing. And then folks
will criticise you for being nom
entity.
