SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
For March 2, 1924—The Judges
BY DR. MARION McH. HULL
Golden Text: “I will heal their back
sliding, I will love them freely.”
Hosea 14:4
After the conquest of Canaan and
the allotment of the land to the
tribes, Joshua seems to have lived
1 quiet life In his inheritance in the
hill country of Ephriam. Just be
fore his death, at. the age of one
hundred ten, he summoned the peo
ple before him and warned them
igainst forgetting all that God had
lone for them, and especially against
:urning to the gods of the people
around about them. They very sol
imnly declared their purpose of obey
ng God fully and forever. But
Joshua seemed to know them too
well to accept their statement and
K.gain urged them to be true to
Jehovah; which they fully declared
hey would do.
And they were—as long as Joshua
ived and the elders who outlived
:iim. Then they forgot Joshua, for
got their solemn oath, forgot all
that bad been done for them and to
them in the wilderness and In
Canaan, forgot God!
Then God left them to themselves
ind they were oppressed by the na
tions round about them; when their
lot became so bitter that they could
stand it no longer they cried out to
God, and He sent men to deliver
them. Such was the record for 450
vears.
Who the Judges Were
Vbc must not get our ideas con-
These judges were not for
the purpose of sitting judicially and
ieciding points of law for the gov
ernment of the people. They were
•ather heroes; men whose hearts God
lad touched, and who rose above
heir fellow-men in their appreciation
sf God and His will for His people,
in a day when others were filled
with thoughts of things they were
filled with thoughts of God. They
were men who were leaders, leaders
n things spiritual. They were men
who, seeing the sad state of their
people, recognized that God alone
lould deliver them and put them
selves at His disposal.
It is very important for us to
jrasp this fact not only for a proper
inderstanding of that portion of
Israel’s history and God’s dealings
with men, but also that we may ap
preciate our task in these days, and
n the coming days when Jesus shall
be reigning in person on the earth;
tor then we shall judge the nations
n the same way that these heroes
judged Israel.
The Book of Judges
Our lesson today includes the
whole book of Judges. Just a glance
therefore at the book as a whole be
fore we glance more at the details.
It is a record of apostasy, servi
tude, cry to God and deliverance.
There are six apostasies, six servi
tudes, six cries to God, siv deliver
ers, and six other judges. There is
also a record of one usurper king
tnd one prophetess. There are three
appendices—one describing the idol
atry, one the immorality, and one
[the book of Ruth) the peity and
.oyalty of the people of that day.
Some of the judges or heroes were
men of interesting characteristics or
personalities. The first one, Othniel,
was a warrior of some note and
the son-in-law of Caleb, who had
won his wife by a signal victory
n a contest. The second ope, Ehud,
was left-bandtd and had an interest
ng experience with a fat man. The
third, Shamgar. slew six hundred
nen with an ox-goad. Gideon was
in outstancing man from many
points of view. Three of them seem
:o have teen known best because of
;he large number of sons and daugh
ters they had. Jeptha was a Gad
ite, true to form, “a trooper shall
roop.” An illegitimate son who was
Iriven away from home then sought
is the leader of his people, and rash
enough to make a foolish vow and
slay his only daughter and only
'hild in performing it. Samson, Dan
te who could not be trusted. The
strongest man ever known, a man
if anything but exemplary life, and
ret one whom the Spirit of God used
mightily. A careful of each
pf these heroes will well repay any
one, but space forbids it here.
A Typical Story
From all of these we take one as
i typical story. In spite of the fact
that God had shown Himself very
gracious to them again and again,
the children of Israel did evil in the
sight of Jehovah, and Jehovah de
livered them into the hand of Mldian
seven years. Midian handled Israel
roughly. They drove them from
their fields, their cities, their homes.
They had to live in dens and caves
In the mountains. When they plant
ed a crop and tended it, Midian
would wait till it was ready to be
harvested and come against them
und take It. They left Israel no sus
■nance, neither sheep, nor ox, nor
KscC The children of Israel were
Breawy impoverished because of the
MldiWiites. Can you visualize their
condition? Can you appreciate their
Sistress? Do you wonder they cried
to God?
No, that is easy to understand.
The wonder is that God heard their
cry. He wouldn’t if He hadn't been
God! You wouldn’t have heard it,
If you had been treated as they had
treated God!, But God—oh, there is
in Immeasurable difference between

THE ATLANTA TIU-WEEKLY JOURNAL
God and man! God heard and sent
a prophet to remind them of His
great mercy to them and their stub
born disobedience. . He had to do
that; He wanted to deliver them,
but in order to do that they must
not only cry out in their distress;
they must realize that their sin
was the cause of their distress, so
they could repent and forsake - it.
Then God began preparations to
deliver them. The angel of Jehovah
appeared to Gideon, the son of a
farmer, while he was beating out a
bit of wheat in a secret place so
he and his family might have some
food to eat. "The Lord Is with thee,
thou mighty man of valor,” said the
angel. But Gideon didn't seem to
think of the apparent sarcasm of
being called a mighty man of valor
when he was even then hiding out
for fear of the Midianltes; he just
answered, O my Lord if the Lord
be with us why is all this befallen
us? Where are all the miracles we
heard about His doing in Egypt? He
has forsaken us.
‘‘And the Lord looked on him and
said. Go in this thy n.ight, and thou
shalt save Israel from the hand of
the Midianltes; have not I sent
thee?” Read the story for yourself,
and see how. Gideon—humble, abso
lutely distrustful of self, careful,
obedient, dependent upon God —won
a great victory for Israel, and then
wan a greater victory for himself.
These are some of the steps in his
progress— ‘
First, he worshipped. Poor as any
one could be, yet he was not willing
to come into God’s presence without
an offering, so he took wh;.t he had,
a kid and a ephah of flour, and pre
sented it to God in worship.
Then he broke down the evidences
of heathen worship—put away sin
out of their life. It was a bold thing
to do; it endangered his life, but it
was necessary and h e did it.
Then he made sure of the fact
that God was leading him. He might
have accepted the fact without ques
tion; but one mustn’t judge Gideon
by the light that we have. It would
not be right for us to ask for signa,
because the full light of God in
Jesus Christ has been given us; they
were dwelling only in the dim gray
light of the approaching morning.
Then God began the process of
elimination. Thirty-two thousand
men responded to the call; twenty
thousands were faint-hearted and
went home when the chance was
given. But ten thousand were too
many for God, for 9,700 of them
were not alive to the danger of the
strength and the alterness of the
enemy. Only 300, or about one
per cent of those who originally
came, were fit for God to use.
These were men who trusted God,
who obeyed him, who were willing
to dare any danger, and who were
keenly alive to the power and the
presence of their foe.
The only weapons were a pitch
er, a lamp, and a trumpet. Each
was equipped with this armamenta
rium. But these were God's weapons
and they were therefore sufficient
even though the Midianltes and the
Amalekites and the children of the
east were fully armed and like
grasshoppers for multitude.
The attack was in the night, sud
den and circular. The sleeping enemy
was aroused by the blowing of the
trumpets on every side and by a
sudden burst of light on every side.
He naturally though that he was
surrounded by overwhelming num
bers and in his efforts to escape ran
and cried and fled, while every mari
of Gideon’s band simply stood in his
place round about the camp. In
their confusion the Midianites slew
each other, thinking they were fight
ing their pursuers. One hundred and
twenty thousand men Were slain
that drew sword. Israel was deliv
ered out of the hands of their op
pressors! And all because they cried
unto God in their distress.
Married to the Backslider
In later years God send a prophet
named Hosea to the people. Neither
Israel nor God had changed. Israel
was still a people who forgot easily;
God was still the God who could not
forget His covenant with Abraham.
Israel would turn away from their
God, and join themselves to sin; God
would still love them and long for
them, and wait for them to return
to Him when Satan proved too hard
a task-master.
This prophet, Hosea, had some per
sonal experiences with his wife, who
would be untrue to him, which made
his message peculiarly tender to a
disobedient and unfaithful isople.
Hosea could not forget that he was
married to this woman, and loved
her even though she was unfaith
ful. So God spoke through him
■this message of love and forgive
ness: "I am married to the back
slider; I will heal their back;S\ : -
ing; I will love them freely.” And
oh! hbw Infinitely greater God’s love
and forgiveness was than Hosea's.
There is no reason why anyone
should leave the father’s house and
home; why anyone should ever be
untrue to the heavenly husband; why
anyone should forsake the wonderful
and mighty God for the various
things the devil offers as substitutes.
There is only one result when one
does—suffering and slavery to sin.
But remember —if you have been
so foolish—God still loves you; He
is married to you; He will heal your
backsliding; He will love you freely.
If you will cry to Him, he will hear
you. The Father’s arms are still
stretched out to receive you; the
Husband's home is still open to wel
come you; God’s love hasn't been
changed a hit by your disobedience
and unfaithfulness. Won't you come
back?

Dear Little Children:
Tonight, coming home on the cqr,
I looked out at the evening star and
thought of the story of the “Little
Star Beam,” so 1 ahi going to tell
it to you.
Once there was the darlingest little
star, with the very best twinkle in
the whole sky. This star decided
that it would go visiting one evening,
visiting little sleeping children,
bringing them the stories that their
sleeping faces invited.
In the first window that the Star
Beam entered, it found a child about
five years old sleeping, stealing
softly toward the child the Star
Beam paused, then darted swiftly
out and left the room in shadows,
the child's face had shown fretful to
the beam, and thought the Star, that
is a naughty child, going to bed in
such a bad humor, no sweet story
for. this house.
On the Star Beam went, in the
next window it found a sick baby,
gently plhying over the bed the
Beam wove stories of lovely yards
and flowers and sweet things that
children love, the baby smiled in its
sleep.
In the next window, what should
it find but a pair of twins, merry
faces still smiling in sleep, here the
Star Beam stopped a long time, you
see that Star thought those twins
deserved two good stories and so all
through the night, the Star travelled,
bringing happy stories to good chil
dren.
You try going to sleep with nice
clean faces and a good humor and
maybe the Star Beam will visit you.
Lovingly AUNT JLLIA.

Dear Folks: So many questions
have come to me as to how to bid
good-by to a hostess after an eve
ning's entertainment, and how the
hostess should reply, that I am go
ing to give two examples here, tSken
from a recent book on etiquette.
“Good-night, Mrs. Carr, I must
thank you for a perfectly delightful
evening,” to which the hostess can
reply: “We were glad to have you,
I’m sure, Mrs. Roberts.”
Here Is another acceptable manner
to extend thanks and how to accept
them:
“We have certainly enjoyed, our
evening with you, Mrs. Jones.”
Mrs. Jones may reply: “I assure
you it was a pleasure to have you,
and I hope we can repeat the eve
ning together again soon.”
The pleasant, courteous, cordial
manner is the natural expression of
our appreciation of kindness and
courtesy shown us.
Cordially yours,
AUNT JULIA.
Mary D.: Yes, the vogue for “bob
bed hair” seems to linger on, and
yet, while so many girls continue
cutting their locks, I do believe that
they are just adding greater num
bers to the ones who will have re
grets next year. It is so hard to let
the hair grow out.
Maude, of Alabama: Your sugges
tion that the cousins give their at
tention this year to improving their
spelling and grammar is fine. Try
learning to spell and define five
words a day, you will find at the end
of the year that you have a fine
deposit in your brain bank.
Eva Bell D.: I do not know wheth
er the color called “tomato” last
year will be as popular this year,
but I do know if the color is as be
coming as you say, that a voile, hand
hemstitched, will certainly make you
a smart afternoon dress for late
spring and early summer.
John: Never smoke in the presence
of ladies without first asking their
permission. It may be very unpleas
ant to some one, and it will be easy
enough for you to wait, or go out
side if you must smoke,
Mary: I wish you had given me
permission to print your letter. It
is a pleasure to meet a. girl who so
tnoroughly enjoys her duty of look
ing after little sisters and brothers.
Many of my dear newspaper nieces
and nephews are looking after small
relatives, and your suggestions were
excellent, especially the one about
making a game of their lessons. The
one making the highest marks at
school, winning the race and getting
a small cake at the end of the

Dear Aunt Julia nnd Cousins: This is
my first attempt to knock for admittance,
but I hare been a silent admirer of the
cousins' page for nearly a year and 1 dearly
love to read the interesting letters and
Dorothy Dix's discussions. Some cousin
recently suggested the idea of the cousins
writing on some certain subject. My opinion
is that the letters would be more interest
ing if they contain descriptions of the
writer’s home and their different ways of
living. Another suggestion I woultt make
is that each cousin send in some favorite
song or poem, to be printed for the benefit
of all, provided our dear Aunt Julia will
spare enough space for a few favorite or
generally requested songs. Now, only a
few words of myself. 1 am a busy young
married mother, with threq sweet, baby
girls, and as 1 live in the country and help
my husband on the farm, in connection with
household duties, you all may realize that
I do not have very much spare time. Now,
some of you may think friend husband very
exacting, but my dear, you are mistaken.
We help each other. When I need or re
quire help in anything, his hands are very
willing and when I am sick or in case of
sickness of the children, when they require
all ot my attention, be does not hesitate to
prepare the meals or put out a washing or,
in fact, anything necessary.
Wond»»r it I have a twin? My birthday
Is March 8. Would highly appreciate a
card or letter shower. I feel sure deaf
Aunt Julia will give me a seat over in the
corner by the fireside, and she may rest
assured of my heartfelt gratitude for her
kindness. Now for a request of some of
our kind cousins. Who will send me some
flower seeds or cuttings of box-flowers?
I do not have much time to devote to such
work, but dearly love flowers, so if you
cousins have any to spare and care to di
vide with me. 1 will appreciate them very
much and if possible, retutn the favor in
some way. As I fear I have already stayed
too long. I will beg forgiveness of Aunt
Julia and say good-by for this time. Will
come again sometime if I succeed in gain
ing entrance. So I will ask al) the
cousins that will to write me as I dearly
love to get letters, and will answer all I
can. Photos or snapshots would be greatly
appreciated and some exchanged. Love and
best regards for all.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
If All the Mothers In the World
Would Bring Up Their Sons and
Daughters to Re Good Husbands
and Wives, the World Would
Change as if by Magic,
to a Happier Place
AS a sex women are highly al
truistic. There isn't a. move
ment In the world for the up
lift of humanity or for ameliorating
th P sorrows of the' poor and helpless
that does not owe its existence to j
women.
It is women who support the or
phan asylums, the homes for old
men and women, the reformatories,
the houses for
the blind, the
places of refuge
where the man
just out of pris
on can go and
gather himself
together before
starting out on a
better life. It is
women who
nurse In hospi
tals, and who car
ry on mainly the
work of the Red
Cross and th?
fight against the
great White
Plague.

Joan of Arc is the great feminine
heroine, and the women that other
women envy most are not the great
beauties and sirens of history, nor
th© famous actors and writers, but
the Florence Nightingales end
Frances Willo-rda who have been able
to do some great service to their fel
low-creatures.
And deep down in her secret heart
if every woman was granted her one
great wish, it would be to be able tn
help her day and generation to make
others happier, and to perform some
miracle that would make life easier
for all who come after her.
Well, little as she realizes it, that
power lies in the hands of every
woman who has children. In her
hands lies the remedy for the great
est sorrow that tears at the hearts
of men and women. She can wine
away half of the tears of the world.
She has the magic that can change
innumerable lives from misery to
joy ’
For the greatest trouble in the
domestic trouble. The bit
terest disappointment is a marriage
that is a failure. There is no place
of torment so hard to endure as a
home of bickering and strife. No
enemy can stab you to the heart as
does a cold, selfish, unkind husband
or wife.
It lies within the power of moth
ers to put an end to all this misery,
to stop divorce and the breaking up
of homes, and the orphaning of help
less little children. It is in their
power to provide every man and
woman with a good husband and
wife, to make every home a pros
perous and peaceful one, and to save
otfyer mothers from the agony of
seeing their children mistreated by
the men and women to whom they
are married.
There is no more appalling thought
than that every woman could raise
her chcildren up to be good hus
bands and wives, and that she does
not do it. On the contrary, nine
times , out of ten she brings -up her
sons and daughters to be exactly the
kind of husbands and wives from
whom she prays God on her knees
to deliver her own precious darlings.
Most likely the woman is herself
the victim of another woman’s cruel
ty. Her own marriage has been
wretched because her husband's
mother never taught him to treat
with any courtesy, or consid
eration, or chivalry. He was never
brought up to consider a woman's
feelings, or even to extend to her
common justice. As a result, his
wife has had to walk on eggs to keep
from rousing a demoniacal temper.
She has had to wait on him hand
and foot. She has had to wheedle
every penny out of him. and never
since her wedding day has her hus
band made one move to entertain or
amuse her.
It would seem that, a woman who
had been through the' arid desert
of such a marriage would save some
other poor girl from such a fate
by raising up her son to be a good
husband. You would think that she
would teach him what a terrible
crime it is to take a woman’s life
into his hands and break it; that she
would teach him to be gentle and
tender to his wife; that she would
impress upon him that a woman
earns her share of the family in
come, and that it should be given
to her right instead of being doled
out as alms.
You would think that she would
ground him, from his infancy up, in
the knowledge of all the little things
that make a marriage a failure or
a success to a woman—-the little

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1924;
attentions, the little treats, the word
of praise, the compliment on a new
dress or hat, the little things that
make a woman’s heart sing with
joy, and that makes marriage worth
while to her.
The great majority of women,
however, never even so much as
think ot training their sons to be
good husbands. Nor do they train
their daughters to be good wives.
Very few mothers would be willing
to see their sons marry the kind
of girls their daughters are.
Mother has raised her daughters
up to be selfish and spoiled and lazy
and extravagant, and she Is ready
to fodst them without mercy on any
poor young fellows who are taken
with their pretty faces. But heaven
defend her own boys from marrying
girls who have never considered any
other human being in the world but
themselves, and whose only law is
their own pleasure!
You even hear mothers boast that
they have never taught their daugh
ters how to cook, or sew, or keep
house, yet the very foundation of
domestic happiness and the pros
perity of the family depened upon
the wife being a thrifty manager
and making a comfortable home.
Nor do women instill into their
daughters’ minds the truth about
marriage—that it is an obligation
that they take upon themselves,
and that they have no right tu throw
it up and quit because it is full
of hardships and self-sacrifice in
stead of being the joyride they
thought it would be.
Neither do mothers pass on to
their daughters their own hardly
won knowledge of how to get along
with a husband, how to bear with
him and forbear, how to jolly and
handle him with tact and diplomacy,
yet that precious bit of information
would save many a. marriage.
Believe me that the most impor
tant question that any mother can
ask herself is this: “Am I raising up
my son and daughter to bless or
curse the woman and man who
marry them?”

Britain to Delay
Mexican Recognition
LONDON, Fleb. 16.—(8y the Asso

has decided that the British govern

regime are assured.
He is represented as anxious to
follow the attitud eof the United

Obregon is effectually suppressed or
that the present regime enjoys the

ROGERS. CHAMPION
OF POLAR VOYAGE,
ABANDONS EFFORT
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—Repre
sentative Rogers, Republican, Mas
sachusetts, announced tonight he had
dropped his plan to have congress
go on record in favor of having the
dirigible Shenandoah make a flight
this summer into the Arctic region.
After orders had been issued yes
terday by the navy department, by
direction of President Coolidge for
the suspension of preparations for
the expedition pending some indica
tion from congress that it was willing
to have it undertaken, Mr. Rogers
began a canvass to determine
whether quick action could be ob
tained on his resolution commend
ing the enterprise as a worthy one.
After consultations with house and
senate leaders, the Massachusetts
member said he had come to the con
clusion that his resolution could not
be passed in time to enable the navy
to make adequate preparations.
