We don’t approve of the word

There are many crimes com

the most indefensible crime is
the deliberate suicide of Finland

her foolhardy heroics.

Hidden cash should be brought

given a chance. Give it a chance,

There is an undercurrent of

WOMAN’S PART IN NATIONAL
LIFE
LESSON TEXT—Judges 4:1-9, 13-I*.
GOLDEN TEXT—Who knoweth whether
thou art come to the kingdom (or such ■ 1
time as this?—Either 4:14.
Women of our day have unprece
dented liberty of action and almost
limitless opportunity to show their
ability to meet responsibility and to
accomplish great things. They are
measuring up to that opportunity
both in the armed services and in
' the multitude of tasks they are
creditably carrying on in civilian
life.
To those who seem surprised at
their response to the nation’s need,
the church could well testify that i
women have always served well in 1
those things which count most for
God and country.
I. A Woman Can Rule (vv. 1-5).
God has established an order in
the world which places woman
where she best fits—in the home.
There, under the guidance and with
the help of her husband, she exerts
her most powerful influence in the
roarings of children. That is her [
normal, most effective and most !
blessed position.
But all too often conditions in the
world are not normal, and woman,
like man, is thrown out of the cus
tomary orbit of existence. Deborah
faced such a day. Israel had sinned
and been given over to the chas
tising hand of the Canaanite. Then |
God heard their repentant cry and
was ready to send a deliverer —as i
He did in the case of each of the j
judges. Apparently no man was
ready to take up the responsi
bility, or willing to thus serve God,
and so He called Deborah. She sat
under her palm tree and Israel
came to her for judgment.
She typifies many women who
have been the leaders of their
people, and her story has been an
i inspiration to women in the church.
May many more be encouraged to
take up the weighty problems of
moral and social righteousness,
which the men of our nation (and
others) do not seem to care or dare
to attack!
11. A Woman Can Lead (w. 6-9).
Barak was a man of ability.
Deborah gave him full credit for
his capable service (5:1, 12), but
evidently he lacked that initiatve
I which would send him into conflict j
j with his people’s enemies. Without
I Deborah he would not go (v. 8), j
j under her leadership he vyas willing
| and courageous.
It is easy to ridicule Barak, and
no doubt he deserves some measure
of censure, but let us not be too
severe on him. When the records
are all in, it will be known that
many of the feats of courage, the
high and noble decisions, the vic
tories in the fields of science and
culture, and particularly those
things that have been accomplished
in and through the church, were the
result of the leadership of some
woman.
Many are the distinguished na
tional and spiritual leaders who
have said that all they were and
had accomplished they owed to their
mothers. Others speak with high ap
preciation of a noble and inspiring
wife.
Think also of the many social and
religious causes which have been j
largely carried on by determined
and sacrificial women, Yes, a wom
an can lead, and often she must
lead out to get the men to follow.
Not all the pursuits of life are
lived out in peace or in preparation
for war. The time comes when battle
must be joined, and then we see 1
that
111. A Woman Can Fight (vv. 13-
16).
True it is that it was Barak who
led his army, but he went out at the
word of Deborah. Hers was the re
sponsibility for strategy, for the de
termining of that important D-day,
I when the blow must be struck.
The courage of women in the
battles for country makes an inspir
ing story. Not the least of that cour
age has been shown by those who
have quietly stood "by the stuff"
at home, who have bravely parted
with their cherished loved ones,
who have borne the dark hours of
loneliness, uncertainty and often of
heart-pierting sorrow. They shall
not be without their reward (see
1 Sam. 30:24).
This is the place to say a further !
word of appreciation of the women
of the church who have fought such
a valiant fight against liquor, social
degradation, vice, evil politics, etc.
"Hats off to them!” May they be
encouraged to go on.
Then too, one ought to say a word
of sad and earnest admonition to
those countless women who have
used their great freedom in our day
as a license to live wicked and un
godly lives. They do not have the
courage to stand against the loose
moral standards, the common ac
ceptance of intoxicants, the immod
est apparel of the day.
Christian women have the golden
' opportunity of setting a fine pattern
of useful living now. Let them make
the most of it, for the glory of God.
WORTH THE PRICE
He just didn’t like his brother-In-
I law and was always threatening him.
I At last his wife took him to task.
"It’s ridiculous for you to talk like
that. You know it will cost you a
' $lOO fine if you touch him.”
When a month had elapsed and he
hadn’t mentioned the name of his
brother-in-law once, his wife ex
pressed her pleasure.
"So you’ve given up the idea of
hitting Jim?”
"Given up?” he snorted. "I’m
saving up!”
