There arc two Deborahs in the Bible, the earlier one eing the nurse of Rebekah (Gen. 35:8). The word "Deborah" means "the bee." Dr. Abraham Kuyper calls her "the Joan of Arc of Israels .,iio.,.,:. g his', ry." She is one of the most remarkable women in al lthe Bible, and this account of her life will " und a most fascinating page of sacred history. The word "prophetess" here "implies the possession of poetic p: • . as u prophetic gifts" (Exod. 15:20)," !mH we see her right to such a title in her predictions (v. 9), her lofty courage (5:7) and the splendor of her inspired ■ > :g. She is the only female judge or, indeed, female ruler of any kind in Jewish history, except the Phoenician murderess, Athaliah. 5. And she dwelt under the palm-tree of Deborah between Raman and Beth-el in the hill-country of Fihraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment. Cf. Gen. 14:13 an I I Sam. 14:2. The two cities mentioned here were on the confines of Benjamin and Ephraim. The palm where she sat in judgment was called after her the Deborah pair.. Her gift of prophecy qualified her to judge the nation, to settle such disputes among the people themselves as the lower courts were unable to de- 6. And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-naphtali, and said unto him, Hath not Jehovah, the God of Israel, commanded, saying, Go and draw unto mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun? 7. And I will draw unto thee, to the river Kishon, Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thy hand. n Zebulun and i of bold temper ik was in a pesi-irmy corps out Already know: Naphtali as a tion to gather of those tribe , the i mgth which Deborah lied for the approaching struggle. Better still, he was a fearer of God. The Victory 9. And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding, the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honor; for Jehovah will sell Sisera into the hand of a wj)-man. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak, to Kedesh. To enter into the force of Deborah's statement, wc must remember the humble and almost downtrodden position of wo-iT.en in the East, so that it could hardly fail to be a humiliation to a great warrior to be told that the chief glory would fall to a woman. We can imagine Deborah in that time of trial growing up into tall and striking womanhood, watching with indignation many a scene in which her people showed a craven A--C FROM the day it introduced, the Firestone Standard Tire has more than lived up to its name by setting i high standard of tire value.

In vain she looked for a prophet, a leader, a man of Jehovah to rekindle a flame in the nation's heart. A flame! It was in her own soul, she might wake it in other souls. 12. And they told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to ...ount Tabor. 13. And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles, unto the river Kishon. 14. And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is th. day in which Jehovah hath delivered Sisera into thy hand: is not Jehovah gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and tc- thousand men aft ' 'm. The tremendous moment has come. "Up," cries Deborah.

Symbol of Conflict The defeat was crushing. The Immediate enemies of Israel were utterly routed. The Hebrews were safe for years to come from the warlike tribes which held so tenaciously to the land. We cannot ielp looking unon these conflicts in the book of Judges as certainly embolic of the great conflict that -•very Christian knows as he wrestles, not with flesh and blood, but gainst principalities and powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, and spiritual wickedness [n heavenly places. Victory is certain only when the Lord is with us and only when we walk in his will and contend against evil in his jwer. We are more than conquer-•s, but only through the Lord Je-:s Christ. The Song of Deborah. Judges 5:1-L Commentators of every age, conservative and liberal both, have vied with one another in their praise of this remarkable ode. The song of Deborah is unsurpassed in Hebrew literature in all the quali-and holds a high place among triumphal odes in the literature of the world. Britons Drink Most While Germany is reckoned, by tradition, to be a nation of beer-drinkers, figures show that Britain is, in fact, the greatest beer-drinking nation. The consumption per head of beer in the British Isles is given as 136 pints, while in Germany it is 118 pints. England ranks first as a beer, consumer, Austria is second and Germany third. Germany, however, drinks more hard liquors and wines per person than England. ire You Listening?

Or you may like tea with any meal. Or perhaps you look forward to the afternoon tea hour. However you like your tea, it must be brewed right, says Katharine Fisher, director of Good Housekeeping institute, who gives this advice on how to brew tea: Be sure the water put on to boil for brewing tea is fresh from the tap. Use one teaspoon of tea or a tea bag for each cup of tea. If you like you can add an extra teaspoon or bag for the pot. Then heat the teapot with hot water, drain it, and add the tea. Over the tea pour the bubbling boiled water and let stand iu a warm place to brew. Never pour the boiling water in the pot or teacup and then add the tea. A brew of five minutes -- or in some cases a little longer, depending on the tea you use--will bring out the flavor of the leaf. Some people prefer a shorter time.
