THE SURDAY SCHOOL LESSON INTERNATIONAL LESSON, JANUARY 3. Lesson I. God's Patience with Is- rael. Judges 2. 7-19. Golden Text, Hos. 14. - Verse 7. And the people served Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that out- lived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of Jehovah, that he had wrought for Israel.--Joshua was so strong a servant of Jehovah that he not only kept the people of Israel true to Jehovah during his own life, but so influenced the elders who were associated with him that they too kept Israel true to their God. This mark of Jogshua's leadership stands out very strong. It is also to be noted that Joshua and his elders had seen the great works of Jehovah that he had wrought for Israel. Because they served Jeho- vah, they were able to see what Jehovah was doing; their eyes were open. People in rebellion against God or indifferent to God have their eyes closed and are not able to see, 9. In the border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill-coun- try of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.--Timnath-heres is the Timnath-serah of Josh. 19. 50; 24. 30. This city of Joshua has been placed at Kefr Haris, nine miles south-easterly from Shechem. 10. Another generation that knew not. Jehovah.--The succeeding gen- eration after Joshua and his elders were less and less true to the reli- gion of Jehovah, and so it was in- evitable that a time would come when the Israelites had entirely re- ceeded from the religion of their fathers 11, Served the Baalim.--Baalim is the plural of Baal and means more than one god or lord. There are many evidences that Israel was famillar with the worship of more than oné heathen god. See Judges ST $82.83 p> VOseOs 20. 12. The God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of the Old Testament never permitted enemies and so weakened that they could no longer fight for their honor and safety. We can well un- derstand that the children of Israel Nae le was kind to the early Israelites in Egypt. ° ians. was kindled ... . and he delivered them... and he sold them... g0 stand before their enemies--This is a picturesque description of the writer. Of course, when the Isracl- ites became weakened through re- ligious corruption, they. were not able any longer to withstand their | enemies, and as Jehovah would no. longer have any protection or jin- fluence over them, as they were exercising their own free will} against him, it was natural that they should be beaten by their anches in height, and nine inches Egypt.--The historical writers: | the people of those days, nor do| they be seen.

This was the great work of the judges. They saved their people at critical times. They saved them because they could bring them back to a belief in God, to a worship of God and, hence, strengthen their arms to strike the enemy. i 17. And yet they hearkened not unto their judges. -- One judge would arise and be a strong factor in bringing the people together, but as soon as the danger was over, back again into the evil practices would the people go. Before the rise of Deborah there were a num- ber of minor judges, who are only incidentally named, or not named at all. This was the beginning of the period of the judges, when it was more difficult for any leader to impress fully and finally upon the minds of the people that they must be true to God if they would be safe from their enemies. But be- cause these judges are only inciden- tally named or not named at all, we must not conclude that they | were not great leaders. 18. When Jehovah raised them up judges, then Jehovah was with the judge.--"T will neither leave you nor forsake you." A steady stream of testimony from the beginning of Genesis to the end of Revelation shows indisputably that God always has been with his people, that he! has never raised up a man for any particular position and left him to his own resources. The leaders in the world's history have been great because God has been with them. When they turned from God or when other influences dominated them, their greatness began to wane, and finally disappeared. 19. But it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers.--The perversity of the Israelites is strongly shown here. Every retrogration or backsliding was worse and further than the preceding one. --_--_----__+-k NAPOLEON'S EAGLES. How He Came to Put Them On Every Regimental Flag. Napoleon, great in conquest, was not great in soul, He delighted in the picturesque details of warfare, glory and empire. Often with the aptitude of a stage manager, he de- Signed them himself, heightened their appeal with the eloquence of a spread-eagle orator, and reported the result, in his bulletins, with all the effectiveness, and sometimes with all the exaggeration, of a ""'vel- low'"' journalist. In the "War Drama of the Ea- gles," Mr. Edward Fraser has traced the history of one of his most successful ideas. When the com- mittee that was considering a suit- able emblem for the newly estab- lished empire suggested the tradi tional Gallic cock, Napoleon would not hear of it. "Bah!? he cried, contemptuously, "'The cock belongs to the farmyard. It is far too feeble a creature !" QOverriding their finial choiee, which was a lion couchant, he substituted the eagle. "It affirms the imperial dignity,"' he explained, "and recalls Charle- magne." It is doubtful if it would have re- called Charlemagne without a good deal of prompting of the public mind; but it really did recall the conquering eagles of - the Roman legions; and this association Napo- leon emphasized by putting an eagle, Roman fashion, on the staff of every regimental flag. These eagles, he decreed, rather than the perishable tricolor that streamed below them, should be regarded, honored and cherished as the stan- dards of the army. The artist Isa- bey designed them, they were made of copper and gilded, weighed three pounds and a half, and were eight from wing tip to wing tip. They were received only from the hands of the emperor; to lose one was to incur dishonor that could be wiped out only by the capture of an enemy's flag in battle; no lost eagle might be replaced except by special permission of the emperor. The "Presentation of the Eagles," when Napoleon, crowned and scep- tred, and attended by the Empress Josephine, the court, and the mar- shals of France, bestowed the new standards on the regiments on the Champs de Mars; was one of the most magnificent pageants that the world has known. "Soldiers! Behold your stand- ards !" the emperor declaimed, with a sweeping gesture. "These eaglés shall ever be to you the rallying point. Wherever your emperor shall deem it needful for the defense of the throne and people, there shal] fice your lives in. their defense, to swear it?' There was a moment's Often, indeed, those who swore kept their oath, and many are-the "When ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes. from you; yea, when ye make many pray- ers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood."--Isaiah i., 15: Tf any one thing is clear) amid the confusion and terror of the pre- sent hour, it is that humanity is it- self responsible for the overwhelm: ing cataclysm of disaster in which it is now involved. ties of international relationships, the cynical reliance upon force as security of nations, sirdid struggle for political supre- macy, the brutal lusts of commer: cial rivalries, the threats of mili- tarism, the tyranny of autocracies, the pride of kings--above all, the disregard or defiance of all those forbearance, mercy, good will, self-abnegzation, which constitute the warp and woof of individual happiness and social peace--these are have brought our Of this great war, as every ill to which human flesh heir, it is true blindness, wilfulness, blood guilti- ness are the cause of all his woe.

To all such let me commend words of the prophet which have been taken for our text. one of us He has granted the power of choosing between good and evil. Every influence of His grace moves us.toward the choice of and away from the We have only to yield our- selves to the currents of His Holy Spirit to find ourselves borne irre- sistibly toward "the infinite sea of truth.

Just here is the agony of God for the ignorance and the sins ~f men. How does He weep at the follies of our lives: how does He pour out His Spirit upon us that we may feel and yield to its saving influences, and how, when the worst appears, does He turn away His face from the crimes with which we defame His holy name! At this very mo- ment, for example, when, as in the days of Isaiah, our "Hands Are Full of Blood." I believe Go@ hides His eyes from us, and when we pray will not hear the words we speak. The very hor- ror of our condition, the very depth of our misery, the perfect blackness of the storm of passion now ravag- ing the world, is but the measure of our remoteness from God and the proof of the seyerance of our wills from His. If blame must fall, let it be upon ourselves and not upon God. If faith must falter, let it be faith in men and not in the Most High. Ged wills, as He has ever willed. the best. God waits, as He has. ever waited, to help us, save us, that the best may come-into our lives.
