tboa art doom to the ktasdoin far 4 w women of our day have unprece dented liberty of action and almost limitless opportunity to show their abmty to meet responabljlty and to accomplish great things they are measuring up to that opportunity both in the armed services and in the multitude of tasks they are creditably carrying on in civilian life to those who seem surprised at their response to the nation s need the church could well testify that women have always served well in thof hgl jrljigj co most for l x woman can role w 15 god has established an order in the world wbjcfi places woman where jibe best fits in the home 3seretunjer the guidance and with the nelp of her husband she exerts her most powerful influence in the rearmft of children that is her norrnal most effective and most blessedposttion but afl too often conditions in the world are not normal and woman hke man is thrown out of the cus tomary orbit of existence deborah faced each a day israel had sinned and been gfven over to the chas- tisinf hand of the canaanlte then ood heard their repentant cry and was ready to send a deliverer as he did in the case of each of the judges apparently no man was ready to take up the responsi- bdlty or willing to thus serve god and so he called deborah she sat under her palm tree and israel came to her for judgment she typifies many women who have been the leaders of their people and her story has been an inspiration to women in the church may many more be encouraged to take up the weighty problems of moral and social righteousness which the men of our nation and others do not seem to care or dare to attack n a woman can lead w 69 barak was a man of ability deborah gave him full credit for his capable service 51 12 but evidently he lacked that initiatve which would send him into conflict with his people s enemies without deborah he would not go v 8 under her leadership he was willing and courageous it is easy to ridicule barak and no doubt he deserves some measure of censure but let us not be too severe on him when the records are all in it will be known that many of the feats of courage the high and noble decisions the vie tones in the fields of science and culture things that have been accomplished in and through the church were the result of the leadership of some woman many are the distinguished na tional and spiritual leaders rwho have said that all they were and had accomplished they owed to their mothers others speak with high ap preciation of a noble and inspiring wife think also of the many social and religious causes which have been largely carried on by determined and sacrificial women yes a worn an can lead and often she must lead out to get the men to follow not all the pursuits of life are lived out in peace or in preparation for war the time comes when battle must be joined and then we see that iii a woman can fight w 13- 16 true it is that it was barak who led his army but he went ouj at the word of de hers was the re sponslbility for strategy for the de termining of that important dday when the blow must be struck the courage- of women in the battles for country makes an insphr ing story not the least of that cour age has been shown by those who have quietly stood by the stuff at home who have bravery parted with their cherished loved one who have borne the dark hours of loneliness uncertainty and often of heartpiercing sorrow they shall not be without their reward see i sam 3034 m this it thejplsc to say a further word of appreciation of the women of the church who have fought such valiant fight against liquor social degradationrvice evil politics etc hats off to them may they be encouraged to go on then too one ought to say a word of sad and earnest admonition to those countless women who have used their great freedom in our 6ay as a license to live wicked and in- godly lives they do not have the courage to stand against the loose moral standards the common ec ceptence of

many or by jw i samoa ue m man power is said to be the secret of victory our nation is concerned about the shortage of man power in critical manufacturing centers the armed forces are caning for more and more men and women that will all make it a little strange to study and teach the les son for today for here is the story of a crucial military campaign in which the leader gideon was told by god to cut down his forces this happened again and again until he had less than one per cent of his original force which was none too large humanly speaking what singular thing was going on god was at work and he did nol want israel q l2 to me arm flesh but to hjnv three questions are raised and answered in this interesting story i quantity or quality 7 47 the lord is looking for men to do his work but he cannot use men who are afraid or careless this was the lesson gideon learned and it applies to our day as well when gideon started out he had 32 000 men judg 7 3 not willing that they should glory in their own strength and knowing that many of them were cowards at heart the lord told gideon to let those who were afraid go home when the mob had left there were only 10 000 left how sad it is that so many are fearful and afraid v 3 when it comes to going into battle for the lord they sing cheerily stand up stand up for jesus ye soldiers of the cross let courage rise with danger etc but when the bombs of satan begin to fall or the bugle calls for an advance into the enemy s territory they have dis appeared to places of comfort and safety what good are such sol diers the lord told gideon to send them home perhaps the church should do the same then came the second test which appears in our lesson those who took the comfortable and easy way to drink v 6 were not alert and ready down went the number to 300 but these were men who were ready to obey who were alert and courageous the church needs to learn that large numbers are not the answer to her probpems god is interested in numbers be sure of that but he is more concerned about quality than quantity let us get more peo ple who arc truly regenerated into the church and not just more peo ple ii man s power or god s power vv 1518 cruiung the plan of battle was even more unusual lights broken pitch era and trumpet blasts are hardly the accepted weapons of warfare nor does the method sound like mill tory strategy this was no time for questions for logical arguments for the usual organization of war for now god was about to work he was ready to show his power quite apart from the ability of man and he had a right to work as he would wise and blessed is the church which knows that there comes a time when the thing to do is to put plans aside and let the lord work no one will question the value of organization and proper church machinery but we need to ask ourselves whether we have not be come so organized that we impede the work of god observe on the other hand that it was the sword of the lord and of gideon not just the sword of the lord god is allpowerful wetmust not hinder his glorious working but he works through men do not forget that he used gideon and he used gideon s little band god power must accomplish gods work but that power flows out to the world through yielded and obedient men itj banning or standing w 19- 11 the enemy ran and cried and fled the sword of the lord and of gideon had put them to rout well may the enemies of god be terror- stricken when he begins to work through his servants ah this was done by faith for we find gideons act of turning to flight the armies of the aliens list ed among the exploits of faith heb 11 34 now see what gideons host was doing while the enemy ran v 21 they stood every man in his place no need for frantic hurry with them no fear no excitement god works that way remember the children of israel at the red see the water ahead and pha raohs host tojthe rear what to do fear ye not stand still and see the salvation of the lord exod 14
