"The earliest seats Three | of Israel's worship, the earliest ral- - | lies to her patriotism, were upon -|Mount Ephraim' (George Adam Smith). 6. And she sent and called Barak. --Deborah saw very quickly what the greatest need of Israel was, and she also discovered that the time was ripe for a decisive blow. So she sent for the man on whom she thought victory would rest. Barak mobilized his troops on Mount Ta- bor. Kedesh in Galilee is the old, important and very often mention- ed city of the Old Testament. Re- ference is made to it in the Tel'el Amarna letters and in the Egyptian inscriptians. Other references in the Bible are Josh. 20. 7; 21. 22. The inhabitants in B.C. 734 were captured and taken away by Tiglath Pileser. Josephus says that the city lay between Galilee and the Tyrian border, and that it was in the hands of the Tyrians, who were gontinually fighting with the Israel- 'ites. 7. The river Kishon.--This river flowed at the foot of Mount Carmel. It was poetically called "The wa- ters of Megiddo'"' (Judg. 5. 19). The Kishon was a swilt-flowing, turbu- lent stream. 8. Barak said, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go; but if thou wilt not go with me, I will not go.--lt is strange that a warrior, used to bat: tle, should be afraid to go into the conflict. without the presence of a woman who presumably knew noth- ing about warfare. 9. And she said, I will surely go with thee.--Doubtless. there was considerable argument between De- borah and Barak before she finally agreed to. go. She could not see why Barak ought not to lead his z PELELETERE LET ED ATED army to victory. \ eo ----------| As the fighting between the Israel- SHADOW TEST igs and their enemies was hand-to- |, 1 terrible these iron chariots, which were arranged with teeth and other 1 sharp protuberances, appeared to the Israelites. unto. the era threw out, reaching from Mount Tabor over to Mount Carmel, al- were massed at the River Kishon.

With the edge of the sword.--As Israelites with their enemies was hand-to-hand conflict. _ It must have been fierce in its contact. Sisera alighted from his chariot, and fied away on his feet.--Sisera evidently was a coward. He left his men to their own discomfiture. He himself would flee to safety. This fact relieves somewhat the awful- ness of the manner in which he met his death shortly afterwards at the hands of a woman (Judg. 4. 17, 22). 16..But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the hosts.--Even the charriots were put to confusion, so that the footmen of the Israelites could pursue the horses of the en- emy. "Not a man left,"? is the em- phatic way in which the writer des- cribes the awful loss that the enemy suffered. Uy "MOTHER" ON FIRING LINE. _ a Big British Howitzer Who Pounds 'Black Maria."' A British officer sends from the front a grimly humorous descrip- tion of the recent additions to the artillery arm of the expeditionary force. "Our artillery,' he writes, 'Gg being gradually reinforced and we are able now to reply to the Ger- man heavy howitzers with shell that She's vaunted 'Black Marias.' The how- itzers 1 refer to is 'Mother.' She has been so christened by the Tom- mies, and the name is not inappro- priate. She is of matronly dimen- sions, but comely withal, and has done excellent work while she has been with us, and more than one of her family of field batteries scatter- ed round the front owes its exis- tence to the attention 'Mother' has devoted to the German eight-inch heavy howitzers. 'Mother's' shell weighs 300 pounds. She ranges most accurately, and, indeed, she ~has lhad four direct hits on German guns in the past fortnight. A direct hit is only recorded by the airman when the shell actually strikes the enemy's gun. 'Mother' is usually accompanied by 'Archi- bald,' which is one of the new anti- aeroplane guns. 'Archie' is mount- ed on a motor lorry , and yesterday brought down a Taube aeroplane, much to our delight. He fires a thirteen pound shrapnel shell and is daily becoming more expert in and to the barbarians."--Romans 1:14. - he instinctively thinks Yet one of the debts is that for mere money; the hardest, that which cannot be sét- dishonorable indebted to nations, Christendom is in debt to the heathen world.

And Africa, heathen Africa, is being startled into a fresh fever of unrest by the news of white men fighting. Christ has been re-crucified in house of his friends. But is this the end?. Nay.
