SO grievous was Israel’^ affliction that they, hid in dens, .caves and strongholds (Judges 6: 2 ). to thetr distress they cried unto the Lord, and again he heard themand sent deliver­ ance. The angel of the. Lord, appeared to Gideon while at the post of duty. God always calls men, who are doing something. Gideon’s hesitancy when called was pot due to nnbelief, but to ’ modesty aud cautiousness. When once lie was convinced of. duty ,he was .courageous end enthusiastic. , I. The Opposing Army Or. 1)'. Gfdeoh and hfs army arose) early on that eventful day ahd encamped by the spring of Harod. Over against them was the host of the Miffianites In battle array. His army was Insignifi­ cant to comparison with the Uidian- ites. t. If. The Sifting of Gideon’s Army <w. 2 - 8 ). t At Gideon’s call 32 , 000 ' men respond­ ed, ready for the struggle.. This, seemed .a smalt army to go against the. Midtanite army, 135,000 strong, but God said this was too many test they be led to boasting and self-confidence. Their iwii danger was not to their small army, but to their pride, Air that were faint-hearted were allowed- to go back, tearing only 10 , 000 . Them were-22,000 cowards in that group of men. and, worst o f all* they were not ashamed to confess It. Still this was too many. When God was through with his sifting process only 300 remained. . The 10,000 were brave mop, but not of proper Qualityand fitness, -Those who lapped the water showed alertness and watchfulness. This test revealed the quality and fitness of the men whom God would; use to win victory. , II). God Givss Encouragement to Gideon (vy, 0-15# , > God hade .Gideon .go down to the, Midlanlte camp, where-he would hear something' which would cheer* biS heertand strengthen,hfs hands. When he' came near he heard a man tell a dream,which was thatof a barley cake tumbling into the camp and smiting lt., He also heard Die interpretation given to that dr$am; which made Gideon to be that caka. This greatly cheered his heart and strengthened him for hiS work, and caused his ’heart to bur«t forth to praise to God. A barley cake is a very insignificant thing,' a very cheap affair to itself, but with the hand o f Godupon it, It Would be sum* dent to spread consternation upon the Midlanlte* and bring destruction upon their armies. IV, God Give* Victory to Gideon (W. 16 - 23 ). HI* army wasvery insignificant and his weapons most worthless.' His at­ tack was unique.: The' whole matter was of faith (Hob. 11 : 82 ), , The ground of his faith was God’s word and the token which he had given him. God does not ask us to go,forward without good ground upon which to rest our faith. Gideonwithhis 300men formed into three companies, each man being, provided with a trumpet and with a lamp concealed within a pitcher. Thus armed, they surrounded the camp* of the Mldlanlte*. They were all instruct­ ed to keep thehr eyes upon tfieir leader and imitate him. We, too, are to keep, our eyes on our leader, Christ, and to ever do ia he does. At the proper mo­ ment they Mow. their trumpets and broke their pitchers, giving opportun­ ity for their lights to shine out. This awful crash Of breaking pitchers, fol­ lowing the sound of trumpets, accom­ panied by the about. "The sword of the Lord and of Gideon,” threw the Midianltes into a panic, causing them to fight among themeelves. One hun­ dred and twenty thousand were thus slain, leaving but 15,000 of that mighty army (Judges 8:10). to making the application to out selves In this age, we can think of the sounding of the trumpets as represent­ ing prayer, or calling to God; the torches, as the light of the gospel; the pitchers, our human nature; and the .whole, as this treasure in earthen ves­ sel*. Only as the pitchers werebroken to allow the light to-shine forth, and as We sound loud and long the trumpet of prayer can we expect victory. ; Doing the Wilt of God. The end of life Is to do the will of God, whatever that may be; if wo .could have1no ambition past the will of God, our lives would be successful,, for the maximum achievement of aby man’s life, after It if all over, Is to have done the Will of God,- Professor Druminond. ■•>f(W n -i-.iiire i'(f;i - I 11 i«tilm,j»<Wr Say Not.
