subjeck for to-day's story which is to
be stove-pipe hats, which was so much
; seen at the parade the other day
; when the politicians all come to town
to cut up.
j Oust 1 remember in the country my

and set it on a chair beside him and

ant «it down it made a disturbance
which was out of place and my father

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

Israel. "The sword of the Lord and
of Gideon." 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. The
