He had been misinformed, and land
ed at the Renrock church. Inform
ed that he was in the wrong place,
it was decided that he deliver his
message, whatever 1t was, anyway.
He came up the aisle and boldly
stepped to the pulpit and made a
move to open the Bible and take his
text, when glancing at the congre-
cation, he seemingly changed his
mind. He said he would only give
them his supject,-Hell, which CO.
incided perfectly with the leaders
subject To some of us who are un-
able to see very far into a mill
stone, it was evident that the man
was halting,-a little perplexed,-
not certain whether he had chosen
the right subject or not However,
peering into the faces of those be-
fore him, he seemed to gather
strength and determination and
waxed warm and eloquent striking
right and left,-not getting in any
mislicks. 1t seemed that he could
fathom the minds of any who might
be more or less skeptical before
him. There are always those who
have little or no use for a stranger.
Having now cleared the ground, he
rose highly in eloquence and the
way he reeled off scriptural quota
tions,-well you just ought to have
heard him,-we were glad we were
there. He touched on the social
side of the church, giving it quite a
sideswipe. How did he know that
Mrs. Jones wouldn't speak to Mrs.
Brown? We wondered? Sitting
there with gaping mouth and bated
breath, we wondered what would
come next, when he pulled out his
watch and called time. He had got
ten us out of the "Bottomless Pit,
and through the Slough of De-
spondency," and was lifting us up
into the 'third heaven" and was
quitting when we wanted him to go
on. Yes, we were glad we were
there. Who could he be anyway
Upon interrogating, we learned that
he was from Cleveland,-a Slavish-
man by birth, and his name was An
dy Zilka He had some kind of an
evangelical mission and was living
temporarily no farther away than
Cumberland. Yes, indeed, we were
glad that we were there.

all there is to the glorious 4th, the
eventful day this year is the longest
we ever experienced. Three weeks
previous and the week following

Quite frequently we hear some.
thing about the "little red school
house," but we have never seen one
painted that color. Perhaps we may
be mistaken, as SO often we are.
The "red" may not refer to it's col
or. It may refer to those old 2Ox24
knowledge boxes that were located
at, or near, the center of each sub
district where the teacher sat be-
hind his desk with good flexible
hickory in easy reach, if not in his
hand, and when order couldn't be
restored by word he, painted things

Bell, he knows.
"A Happenstance"
He ''hit the nail on the head :
We are in the habit of going to
church occasionally. We ought to
60 oftener. 1t has been well said
that when you go to church you
draw nigh to the source OF all
blessedness." If you are not there
you miss something. The Holy Writ
tells of a man who wasn't there and
he got an adjective nickname, even
unto this day. If you get the habit
Of going to church, the habit may
get you. But what we started to
say was that quite recently we were
at a service here at the home church
when the minister was away and
the leader had charge. He told his
audience, which waS not crowded,
that much had been said about
heaven, but this time he would give
them a picture of the antipOdes,
viz: He'll. Soon after he got
through and sat down stranger
came in softly and very judiciously
seated himself in the rear. Wheth-
er he mentioned to the leader, Or
the leader sensed that the man
might have something to say, we
know not. Anyway the leader went
back and interrogated the man. He
proved to be an itinerant minister
and his story was that he had been
directed to go to some church on
route rs, where there had been a
revival This was somewhat puz-
zling as no one knew of any revival.

Deborah Emergency Leadership,
Judges 4:1-24, for Sunday, July IT.
Deborah is the Joan Of Arc of
Israel's astonishing history She
was both judge and prophecies.
Her wisdom and devotion to God
drew many to her for counsel SO
that in time she rose a mighty lead
er of Israel.
v. "And the children Of Israel
again did evil in the sight OF the
Lord, when Ehud was dead Is
rael had not Tu1ly conquered her
enemies, rather compromised with
them, after intermarrying and ac-
cepting their idol worship. true
follower of the Lord allows no place
for evil
". Q. "And the Lord sold them
into the hand of Jabin, king of Ca
naan." God, because of the failure
of Israel to be wholly faithful al
lowed them to fall into the hands
of enemies, just as person today
may dispense a thing that has be-
come useless.
V. 3. .And the children of Is
rael cried unto the Lord; for he
(Sisera) had nine hundred chariots
ily oppressed the children OF Israel.
This was the third time the Israel
ties suffered oppression because or
their sins; after twenty years OF
suffering, they decided they had
enough. Suffering is fact OF his
tory, and when God is taken into
account, it has redemptive value.
V. 8, 4. "And Deborah, q proph-
etess, judged Israel at that time,
and the children of Israel came up
to her for judgment" Deborah was
a woman Of character, of strong re-
ligious convictions, that spoke words
of wisdom. She had strong
imagination and was a writer or
songs. She had the qualities or
leadership and as such is an exam
pie for us.
V. 6. "And she called Barak and
said unto him, Hath not the Lord
God of Israel commanded, saying,
Go and draw toward Mount Tabor
and take with thee ten thousand
men" Having gained a place OF
distinction with God and man, De-
horah was commander-in~chl ana
ordered Barak to carry out the pro-
gram for the good of Israel. we
must judge this program IN the
light of Old Testament history Whea
civilization was at a low ebb, and
nhvsical force was essential. AS
mankind attains higher Levels,
christian ideals and Christian
means can be used disallowing war
fare among men.
v. 7. "And / will draw unto tnee
to the river Kishon, Sisera, the cap
tain of Jabin's army, with his char,
lots and his multitude; and l Will
deliver him unto thy hand" The
"I'' refers to God. This statement
nroyes Deborah a true prophecies
This assurance of victory was Wei
come and would give the Israelites
courage in the face OF over"heinins ;a
ODDS It is not the manner OF vic
tnrv hut the fact of victory, when
minority mi proceeds according to the
will of God, that has meaning,

speaker, author and lecturer, fa-
NOUS as the man who knows food
"from soil to serving, from table
to tissue"
One of these articles will appear
each week, and we know housewives
and mothers will look forward to
them for the accurate, worthwhile
information they contain on foods
and their relation to health. This
is not recipe column. Mr.. Goudiss
has designed it to serve as link
between laboratory and layman in
the food field, interpreting modern
scientific knowledge in the language
Of the home maker, giving her the
elemental facts regarding new dis
coveries and the part played by
food in building and maintaining
health.
Every woman wants to know what
foods will benefit her family and
why, and that is just the informa-
ton that Mr.. Goudiss will give.
Watch for the articles each week,
make a scrap book of them for
ready reference. They contain valu-
able information every home maker
has been wanting.

DIsPELLING THE FOG

We have Fascists and Communists

The one point on which these null
titudinous faiths agree is that the
others are all dead wrong.
But the funniest political sect Of
the lot is that group Of critics whose
single tenet is that President Roose-

about anything. To illustrate the type
