An Old Haro 8tory.
one of tlfe great tales of all literature Is
that which this week engroases the Sunday
schools of the world. Gideon Is out of the
heroes of childhood whoso luster does not
grow dim when the light of mature Judg
ment Is turned upou him. lie lived in s
dork day. among a weak-kneed people. The
Jews had turned from the plainly marked
path of safety and prosperity, and for tt
Idnlutry they had lieeii delivered Into
hands of the traus-Jordaulc people
Mldlau. who harried them Into dens and
caves and fortified eltlea.
When things fall Into such a had ease
An this. there la usually a man seut aa a
deliverer: forever the* race’s hope la In a
mun. This time It was Gideon, son of
JinikIi. the Ablexrite. who heard the call.
A cautious man was Gideon; be wanted
to iiinko sure of the voice that called him.
Ho ms sacrificial offering wni lighted by
tire from the end of the nngel's staff. Then
lie overthrew the altar of Baal, and erected
In Its stead au altar to Jehovah, creating
n great stir by this bold deed. This made
a marked mau. Gideon thereupon lifted up
his standard, when the Mi#!nnlte* and
Amaickltes had assembled for n fresh foray
upon Israel, and he summoned the people
to him.
The Teat of the Fleeeo.
Like a wise general making sure of his
reserves. Gideon baited bis proceedings long
enough to prove that God was really fcrltn
him. This he did by the famous test of
the fleece, lie put a fleece of wool —
that the fleece be dry and the floor wet;
and thla. too. was granted him.
Then the.opposing forces encamped over
against each other. Gideon's army waa very
large—too large for Jehovah to get the
credit of Its victory. Therefore the leader
was Instrnetrd to release all who were
scared—whleh cleared off twenty two thou-
and. Still the remaining ten thousand
rere too many for the purpose Clod bad In
lew. so He winnowed out the fittest and.
tlic wariest— who scooped up water!
w ith their hand*, rather than oxi*»*«* them-1
overheard one of the enemy relate, routed
the Mldlsn foe.
New Ways and Weapons.
A man who was showfug me over hla In
dustrlnl school In India lamented that It Is
so hard to tench an Indian uew ways; lie
wants to weave, plough and drill Just ss
his ancestors did thousands of yesrs ugo.
Wise men have made the same ohnrrvntiou
concerning twentieth century Uhristlnn
work. Outgrown forms and methods are
• lung to as tenaciously- If they were In
spired and sacred. The modern world Is
not ministered to hy the modern church lu
modem fashion. The possible bigness.
Adaptiveness ■ nnd contemporaneousness of
Christian service are yet to In* realised.
Untried agencies roust be employed. If all
th*» men In all the world are to hear the

tlie missionaries in China la proved by noth

men, la one of the most needed mlaelonery
agencies of the time.
This Gideon was a man of Idtas. Next
to character, brains Is the liest equipment
for llfe'e long battle. The eon of Joaeh

with a shout. “The sword of Jehovah and
Gideon," the faithful Israelites saw the foe
flee In panic, each turning his frenslcd
weapon against his comrade. In thla first

struck by Gideon’s hand; It was s victory
of faith.
