tonight since she was called mused abigail as she wan dered restlessly about the cubby hole they called home she paused in her cramped wanderings to pick up a button half concealed beneath the bedroom rug off her new striped flannel she commented as she scrutinized the bit of brown bone it was the worjc of a moment to land it with deft fingers in the row where it belonged but as she reached to hang the dress back in the wardrobe she studied its brilliant hues admiringly at arms length the thought came to her to try it on for something to do and take a stroll sauntering down a side street she noticed casually a touring car which slowed down opposite the curb just ahead of her abigail could never just tell how it happened but in an instant she found hers seize by strong arms dumped into the front seat and whizzed away by the side of a very big man she did not scream and her first definite feeling was one of exhilara tion she was being kidnapped i neither spoke and as they ap proached a wood bordered stretch of pike thoughts of fear which had to be fought and subdued crept into her mind it would never do to let her com panion believe her to be afraid at this stage of the game

see the host of the mldtanltes hi the valley and his own force of thirtytwo thousand seemed small e- nough but his numbers were to be reduced the lord said that gideons army was too big if they should gain a victory they would vaunt themselves saying mine own hand hath saved me so gideon was commanded to make the offer to any who were fear ful and afraid to depart early for uttount gllead doubtless gideon was surprised at the dumber who availed themselves of this chance for safety twentytwo thousand returned pre ferring to live and fight some other day only ten thousand remained but gideons army was really streng thened for the cowards had been el iminated they would have been lit tle use in a battle for they would have become panicstricken and hindered the ten thousand courageous fighters it would be hard for the twentytwo thousand slackers to preserve their selfrespect but the army was strong er without them one with god is a majority if that one is not a coward disqualifying the inefficient 57 gideons army was to be still fur ther reduced this time not on the basis of courage but of brains the lord said unto gideon the people are yet too many a novel test was arranged gideon understood the meaning of it but the ten thousand mere quite unaware that their fitness was being judged gods tests are thought chiefly of quenching their often unpercelved the ten thousand thirst and

enemy and their field of vision be came limited three hundred only were alive to the danger and con stantly on guard they stooped and lifted the water in their hands thus able to see any advance on the part of the enemy and ready to come to arms at a moments notice men dig- playing such far slghtedness before the battle could be trusted in if ev ery other man was sent to mb tent and the three hundred were retaimd to attack the host of mldtan m the valley below a force of thirtytwo 1 thousand was reduced to three hun dred in numbers but greatly increased in fighting power one with god is a majority if that one is efficient preparedness 15 18 gideon prepared for victory by a carerul rehearsal he divided the three h lndred men into three com panies and he gave every man a trumpet and a torch in an empty pit cher he told them to watch for his signal and to do as he did by care ful placing of the few men the dis play of lights and the sound of his trumpets the enemy could be deceiv ed gideon also gave his men a battle cry that would rouse their courage and enable them to distinguish friend from foe gideon was entitled to vic tory because of his preparation he had forethought without fear- thought successes do not happen they are carefully prearranged the sword of the lord and of gideon 19x3 the attack was short and decisive the men of gideon s band surro onaea the mkilanites and then sanultan- eously blew their trumpets broke the pitchers revealing the lights and cried the sword of the lord and of gideon the battlecry was ef fective for it placed first things first priority was given to the help of god and then came mention of the earthly leader gideon did not take au the credit to himself out unto the lord gave glory gideon would not have dared to reduce his force in number had he not been sure that god was on bis side purging a communion rou today we have a mania for statis tics and an idolatry of numbers we count heads instead of weighing them if

ses the average editors opinion in the following we are called on to write or assist in writing at least fifty obituaries every year there are established ethics to observe it is always our ambition to do this duty with a kind ness and feeling as one who jhad been bereaved there is one paragraph however that- we do not like to in corporate in an obituary and that is the one enumerating those who sent flowers it is simply not in good taste and we will name a few objections if there are a great many flowers to publish them gives an evidence of a desire to boast if there are few flowers it is no proof that the de ceased was unworthy it is no news to write that immediate relatives sent flowers but it would he news if ttwy dldnt in the publishing of a list of those who gave sowers a name or two may possibly be overlooked this gives offence and then there is the family whose great sympathy prompts them to give flowers when they can not afford to do so probably they nave an unpaid grocery bill and then we hear unfavorable comment there are so many reasons against and no good reasons in favor that we always do our best to discourage this particular paragraph in obltuar- bbitish empire

are far more accidents caused by automo crashing into the side of trains tharx by trains striking auto mobiles it is here that the coopera tion of the motorist is required xn one province quebec the law requires that every vehicle come to a full stop before crossing a rail way track the observance of that law would prevent many accidents it would decrease the crop of 1 hairs hi the heads of many railroad engineers and in some cases would probably increase their working days but it is a law which can only be successful through the cooperation of the motorist and if one is to judge by actual experiences on the highway such cooperation is the exception ra ther than the rule with another motoring season get ting well under way it is perhaps timely to stress the importance of safety first at all times time is important but the attempt to save a few seconds in elapsed time when one is driving a motor car may be a matter of life and death in more ways than one beating the train may seem
