And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped; and he reâ€" turned into the camp of Israe!, and said, Arise; for Jehovah hath deâ€" the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water. 7. And Jehovah said unto Gideon, By the three hundred that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianâ€" ites into thy hand; and let all the people go every man unto his place. The ten thousand men who were left after the elimination of the cowards were still too many to defeat 135,000 Midianites. Acâ€" cordingly the very singular and memorable device which is here recorded was adopted. The men were led down to the water, and all those who lay down to drink, putting their mouths to the watâ€" er, were rejected, while all those who merely stopped and scooped up water in their hands were selected. These latter were the true soldiers, men who could not make a leisurely business of drinkâ€" ing while the enemy was in sight, but who cold, at the most, snatch a mouthful of water as they passâ€" ed the stream. The simple device showed a real difference of temâ€" perament in the men, and set them off into two wellâ€"defined classes. Just at this time the angel of Jehovah came to the village of Ophrah, in Manassch, west of the Jordan, for the express purpose of announcing to a young man by the name of Gideon that God had called him to deliver his peoâ€" ple. Two things the angel told him. First, that Jehovah was with him; and, secondly, that Jehovah had commissioned him to save Israel from the hands 0 Midian. The Midianites, and the Ameleâ€" kites, and the children of the east were gathered together in the valâ€" ley of Jezreel. At the same time the Spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon, who â€"sent mesesngers throughout Manasseh to Asher and Zebulun _ and Nephtali, calling them together for the great battle which he knew was inevitable at this hour of crisis. 4. And Jehovah said unto Gidâ€" eon, The people are yet too many ; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there ; and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go. 5. So he brought down the people unto the water; and Jehovah said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon ..is knees to drink. 6. And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men: but all the rest of experienced. Nothing else brings men to God so quickly as trouble; and, when the oppression of the Midianites became â€"unbearable, the guilty children of Israel turned to Jchoâ€" vah, besceching him to deliver them. forget God, and to go his own stubborn way, to be allured by the customs of the nations round about. Retribution was not far away. The Midianites came down upon Isracl, and wrought a greatâ€" er havoe and enforced a sterner bondage than that generation had have wholeâ€"heartedly and zealâ€" ously turned to Jehovah in thanksâ€" giving and in obedience to his laws, forsaking the sins which had brought about the oppression, from which they were so wonderâ€" fully delivered. But no; it is the story of the human heart over and over again; man is so prone to forget God, and to o his own stubborn way, to be allured by One would have thought that, with the glorious deliverance of the Israclites from the bondage of Jabin and the defeat of the host under Sisera, the Israclites would Timeâ€"The principal events of this lesson occurred about 1250â€" 1249 B.C.

The victims were Mrs. F. Mott, who remains dangerously inigred with a fractured skull, and Miss Irene Mott, who succumbed to a similar injury. They were allegedly atâ€" tacked in their respective bedâ€" rooms in the Mott farm home in Kitley township near Brockville. Gunning vanished following the dttack and was taken into custody only after an extensive manhunt. No motive for the attack has been found. fro among the tents, seeing, now on this side, now on that, the menacing flames, turning from the battleâ€"cry here to be met in an opposite quarter by the wild dissonance of the horns the surâ€" prised army was thrown into utter confusion. Escape was the comâ€" mon impulse, and the flight of the disorganized host took a southeasterly direction by the road that led to the Jordan valâ€" ley, and across it to the Hauran and the desert. It was a complete rout. Charged In Farm Killing It was not long after midnight when the three companies reachâ€" ed their stations. The orders were carried out precisely as given, and the consequence was that the host ran, and cried, and fled. To and of Midian. 16. And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put into the hands of all of them trumpets, and empty pitchers, with torches within the pitchers. 17. And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise; and behold, when 1 come to the outermost part of the camp, it shall be that, ay 1 do, so shall ye do. 18. When 1 blow the trumpet, 1 and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, For Jehovah and â€"for Gideon. 19. So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands. 20. And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the torches in théir left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands wherewith to blow ; and they cried, The sword of Jehovah and of Gideon. 21. And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran; and they shouted, and put them to flight. 22. And they blew the three hundred trumpets, and Jeâ€" hovah â€" set every man‘s sword against his fellow, and against all the host; and all the host fled as far as Bethâ€"shittah toward Zereâ€" rah, as far as the border of Abelâ€" meholah, by Tabbath. 23. And the men of Israel were gathered together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manâ€" asseh, and pursued after Midian. Gideon is now well persuaded that the fear of disaster is not for Israel. He returns to the camp, and forthwith prepares to strike. One bold device, he beâ€" lieves, rapidly executed, will set in operation the suspicions and fears of the different desert tribes, and they will melt away in defeat. There are two classes of men, one with a tendency to notice similarities and the other with a preference for detecting dissimilâ€" arities when they observe two re lated objects, according to Dr. William H. George, of University College, Southampton, England. He tested forty persons making a study of the scientific method, a highly specialized group suitable for such an experiment.

Corey Ford and Alistair _ McGain, the famous American writers, may find it necessary to travel the length and breadth of Canada to catch "the biggest fish of the year," but Peter O‘Day, who does magazine and radio work and who also is a disciple of the late Issac Walton, apparently doesn‘t believe in the adage that faraway fields really are green.

Plays by Rudyard Kipling and O.

John Macdonald and James Harâ€" vey, dramatic producers of the CBC, have been assigned to these famous plays. First of the Kipling stories ever to be presented on the air will be heard July 28, when James Harvey produces "Glorâ€" iana".
