» bl A German Custom, The custom of celebrating gold and silver weddings belongs to Germany. The silver wedding occurred only on the twenty-fifth anniversary, and most people could celebrate that, but to be fifty years married was a sort of an event in a familly. The house was quite covered with garlands, all the neigh bors from far and near were asseuw- bled. tI on Somehow a man looks terribly silly ating ice creem soda.

Subject: “Gideon's Hattie with the Midinnites,”” Texr: the trumpets, trumpets in their right hands to blow withal, And they stool every man in his place round about the camp, and all the host ran and eried and fled.” Judges vii., 20, 21, That is the strangest battle ever fonght, God had told Gideon to go down and thrash the Midianites, but his armv ig too large, for the glory must be given to God and not to man, those of the troops who ara cowardly and want to go home mav go, and 22,000 camperad away, oniy 10,000 But God savas is too vet, and go he orders these 10.000 remaining to march down through stream and command Gideon to not of the 1 vin saving men, the army get down they on all fours and drink, then campaign, but if, in passing thr : of their hand and drink ant to ba the men selected for the tb ass nineyaroe ittle, and the most of them come dow all fours and plunge their mont ’ or an ox into the water and drink, | are 300 men who, instead dip the palm of their hand bring it to their Hops, lappeth.” Those 300 thusiastic men ar campaign.

Cong off until there were only 10,000 left, and that was substractad from until there were 800. 1t is the aame in all ages of the Chris. tian church. A fow men have to do the hard fighting, Take a membership of 1000, and you generally find that fifty people do the work. Take a membership of 500, and you generally find that ten people do the work. There are scores of churches where two or three people do the work. We mourn that there ig go much naseless lumber in the monntaing of Lebanon. | think of the 10,000,000 membership of the Christian church to-day if 5000000 of the names wore off the books the church would be stronger. You know that the more cowards and drones there are in any army the weaker it is. I would rather have the 900 picked men of Gideon than the 352,000 unsifted host, The many Christians there are standing in the way of all progress’ I think it is the duty of the church of God to ride over them, and the quicker it does it the quicker it does its duty. Do not worry, O Christian, if you have to do more than your share of the work. You had better thank God that He has called you to be one of the picked men rather than to belong to the host of rs. Would not you rather be one of the 300 that fght than the 22,000 that run? 1 suppose those cow ardly Gideonites who went off congratu- ated themselves, They sald: ‘We got rid of all that fighting, did not we? How lucky we have been! That battle costs us nothi at all.” But they got none of the spoils of the victory, After the battle the 500 men went down and took the wealth of the Midisnites, and out of the cups and platters of their enemies they feasted. And the time will come, my dear brethren, when the hosts of darkness will be routed, and Christ will say to His troops: “Well done, my brave men, Go up and take the spoils, Be more than conquerors forever,” And in that day all deserters will be shot, Again, 1 learn from this subject that God's way is different from man's, but is always the best way, If we had the planning of that battle, we in) Pale sukan Bop 82,000 men originally belonge © army, and we would have drilled them and marched them up and down by the day and ing to the way of arming in those times and then we would have down in polid eolumn | But that ig not the way. | army, and takes away nll their weapons and | gives them a lamp, and a pitcher, and a 'trumpat, and tells them to go down and drive out the Midianites, I suppose some + wiseacres wera there who gald: “That is not | military tactics.
