Friday, Novem} November 26, , 1926. WEEKLY SUNDAY. By Wilitam E. Giiroy, DD. : of The Congregationalist In the lesson dealing with Caleb's faithfulness and reward it was seid that "the land had rest from war." Such a happy condition did not last. Israel In the new home was sur- Younded with enemies, and, as we find in chapter six of Judges, Israel's Worst egpemy was in some measure herself. The evil and foolish courses of the children of lsrasl "delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years." \ { But now, as in the days of bond- age in Egypt. a new leader had arisen with the divine call to deliver his people from the oppression of the Midiavites. Editor The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Nov 28: "Qideon and the Three Hundred."-- Judges 7:4-8, 19-21. | Manasseh, and 1 am the least in my ssi fe ------ age when we are 80 apt to think that {leadership and effectiveness depend | #0 much ipon having a good. opinion jot" one's "seil.

The whoile thing reminds us of the tall of Jericho, and it again illus- trates the power of a determined mi- nority, resourceful and full of spir- itual strategy How often in the midst of the hosts of evil is there the need of re calling the courage and effectiveness of Gideon and his band! "The sword of the Lord and of Gideon" is a pow- erful rallying cry. Three hundred . determined men with that watch cry and a leader like Gideon could unquestionably ac complish quite as great things in our modern day as Gideon and his army accomplished long ago.
