TIIK E E j II V N n H E 1> The International Sunday School lx>s son For .latiuary 21 1 - "Gideon and I the Three Hundred."—Judge* 7. <li> W-.Mian. T. Ellis* j Some stories are so simple and j 1 great that they have passed into the | : common thought and speech of the | j people. Thus Gideon and his band j have became proverbial. Fortitude, 1 fidelity and efficiency are their trade ' marks. Once more the countless com '• pany of Sunday School members are I called to study this immortal hero | tale from old Israel's history, and to I learn its lesson for to-day. The facts of the story are simple. The Midinnites from the Kast were oppressing Israel. Gideon had been called by c?od to be the leader of His , people in conflict with the foe. , Thirty thousand men of Israel ral 'r lied to His banner, against the one _ hundred and thirty-five thousand Midianites. l.est Israel should think ' 1 that the inevitable victory had been won by its might and courage and strategy. Gideon was ordered to re • duce his force by letting all th.e | armed men who wanted to do so re , I turn home. Still there were ten thou sand left, quite too many for the di- I vine purpose. So the curious yet inherently wise test was applied, of choosing the men I who drank water by scooping it up I with their hands, rather than kneel ing down with their faces in the j water. The difference, as has often I been pointed out. was the difference between the way the dog drinks and 1 the way the cow drinks. The former is alert, quick and ready for instant action: the cow when drinking is 1 oblivious to all else, even to the beat -5 ings of an attendance. One company of men. skilled in the craft of the open, drank fully acoutred and with ' every faculty on guard. They were ready to tight on the instant, and > could not be taken unawares. Drink t ing to them was but a part of the i preparation for their real work . The t other and larger group laid aside their weapons, exposing themselves , to sudden attack, while they knelt and drank to repletion, heedless of all save the satisfaction of their I thirst. This severe test provided a fit band of three hundred men. the whole . host winnowed down to the highest , efficiency. They were ready for any thing. a wonderful instrument in the hand of a shrewd leader. Gideon gave each of these a torch covered by a crockery vessel, so that it made a primitive dark lantern. To each . he also a trumpet, so that in . the hands of these few wero as many trumpets and lights as usually would serve a great army. Deploying the three hundred on all 'sides of the Midianite host. Gideon's strategy provided that, at a given : signal, all the crockery should crack, lithe lights flare forth, the trumpets ■ sound—and the terror of the enemy, | thinking itself surrounded, would do the rest. The scheme worked as well as similar strategies in battle have i worked. The rout of the bewildered , Midianites was complete—and there , were no brazen Jewish soldiers swag , gerinc about, declaring that their , prowess had . won the day. Every , body had to give God the praise for , the wonderful victory. , A Magazine Story Nothing could be timelier than this tale. Our old world, as it stands on shaking foundations, needs most of all is to learn the Gideon lesson of being willing to win in God's way, even if our own vainglorious pride does have to suffer. The Church is not to succeed by using worldly methods more shrewdly than the world itself uses them. . Peace for the world is not to come by the an cient method of arrogance over-1 topping arrogance, armament out weighing armament. A remarkable story is told in the curent issue of the American Maga zine by Ray Stannard Baker, who turns aside for the occasion from his 1 wonted field as an interpreter of con- , temporary history, to a bit of fiction . in the form of history as it may be. , The narrative, dated a century hence. ( recalls how one of the victorious , Kuropean armies determines to in- 1 vade and conquer America. At once , this country is thrown into two j groups, the war party and the peace , party. The latter, led by a woman, was at first small and treated with , di'dain. The only way to meet an . invader, according to all reason and precedent. Is by armed force. But the peace plan prevailed, the in vaders were met and conquered by nonresistence. It was the Gideon idea applied to national affairs. So dramatic and pertinent is this article that it is cer tain to re-echo in press and pulpit. It is an apt illustration of the old, old truth that God chooses the weak and the foolish to confound the mighty. Enter Hilly Sunday Within the realm of organized religion our day is seeing a spectacu lar illustration of the Gideon way, which is simply the way of letting the Lord use His own methods, with out respect to precedent or worldly wisdom. A perfectly impossible man, a mere baseball player, a log-cabin graduate, a speaker of the lingo of the street corner and the workshop, has been chosen, like the jawbone of the Samson story, for slaying more of the enemies of righteousness than have fallen at the hands of any other preacher for a centurv past. Billy Sundav, who is now leading an amazing revival in Philadelphia, has set the religious world by the ears. I Most of the large cities of the land seem to be calling him to come to them with his strange speech and stranger methods. Now the admitted truth is that no ecclesiastical council that ever could have been called would have dreamed of devising, as the instrument for j calling this heedless day of ours back ' to a thought of God, such a plan •and such methods as Billy Sunday and his campaign. Had anybody, by j a wild flight of imagination, dared suggest such a thing, he would have' been frozen by the outraged dignity I of his ecclesiastical associates. Nevertheless, although he is as un conventional as Gideon's three hun- I dred. and as contrary to precedent as 1 Gideon's warfare, Billy Sunday seems ! Ito be God's chosen man: and the I churches, to their praise be it said, I are brave enough and tolerate It ! (enough to accept him. They see the' Midianites of evil routed. %nd so are | willing to accept smashing' crockery, 1 flaring and fitful torches, and blatant i ram's horns, as God's chosen weap- i ons. And when the church gets tot the point of being willing to let God j win in His own way. she has arrived | at a place where He will find her fit. ! A Victorious Battlecry ! Close observers of the Billy Sun- j day meetings in Philadelphia say that there is a remarkable and amaz- | ing unanimity among the evangelical clergy concerning his work. Asked for the reason, the answer is that Sunday calls men back to the sim plicities and fundamentals of reli gion. Therein is illustrated the rally ing cry of the victorious bosts of Why Do Nations Go to War?

There is nothing that will bring churches together like a common task and a common slogan. Once let the Christian forces of a community get to shouting the same battlecry and fighting the same enemy, snd there will be victories beyond the dreams of a divided church. Decisive forces were at work among those old Jews. Tribal feel ing was strong, and jealousies were many. If each contingent of Gideon's three hundred had gone into the me lee shouting his own shibboleth there would have been no victory. Nor can Christianity go to conquest shouting. Predestination! Apos tolic succession! Second blessing!" Divisiveness and denominationalism spell defeat. But when all voices cry "The sword of the Lord." and then rush into action, we may expect to see the Midianites of evil—the united forces of greed, graft, rum and sel fishness—fleeing across the river to the wilderness. A common passion for the cause of God and of man welds Christians into oneness. Why the Ciainc Was Lost Last Fall I saw a football game wherein a little college ignominiously defeated a great university. The rea son was that the small school had a Gideon In charge of its team. The most interesting episode of the game was the university's efforts to utilize its champion strong man, a mighty fellow, but no football plaver. Sheer weight and strength were expected to work wonders. The attempt failed utterly. That illustrated one of the Gideon lessons. Mere mas and might are not given the gTeat victories.
