“New Woman” Is As Old As History Os Human Race

In Her Nation’s Hour Os Peril, Deborah Emerged As Real Leader Os The People, Putting Courage Into The Hearts Os Timid Warriors — Some Other Deborahs.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Among the darling delusions which this generation hugs to its heart is the belief that it has discovered the "new woman.” Count-1 less societies and conventions con- I gratulate themselves that they j have, for the first time, entered ‘ upon the era of woman’s "emanci- | pation." All of which would be | more interesting if we were devel- I oping a greater number of really | great women. We blink the ugly fact that woman suffrage has made little, if any, real difference in contemporary politics. And women orators—a contrary title — conveniently forget the great truth that history’s pages are goldenstarred with the names of preeminent women. Grandmother Eve was herself considerable of a personage, with more initiative than her husband. This Lesson on Deborah, the champion of Israel, brigs to mind the names of a few of the women leaders of their nations and of the race — Joan of Arc. Zenobia. Cleopatroo, Susan B. Anthony, Frances E. Willard, Mary Lyon. Florence Nightingale. Jane Atidems, and others that will occur to the reader. Within recent days I have colloqued on Mount Carmel with Miss Frances E. Newton, a great English woman who is a potent champion of the Arab cause. I knew Nazck Abed, "the Syrian Joan of Arc." Never have I heard such lofty and flaming patriotism as poured from the lips of Halide Edib Hanum, the Turkish novelist-warrior-leader. as she pleaded with me for her people. Would that on the North American continent, at ! this critical hour, there were more women of this type. One Woman’s Career i Our heroine, Deborah, whose work of inspiration, counsel and | leadership the millions of memi bers of the Sunday School will study this week, came to her preeminence gradually and naturally. She was a homemaker and a housewife, apparently endowed I with deep relitfous faith and : sound common sense. Her like may i he found in almost every community. She was the one who upheld the standards of religion and good neighborliness. To her naturally people turned for counsel in their liroblems, even as I have seen them thronging, day after day, to Miss Newton’s door. So great did her acknowledged leadership become that she creatled a sort of cadi s court, under a palm tree, where she sat daily and gave advice. That palm tree ! became famous because of her. Wisdom and justice flourished there. Without her own design. Deborah’s fame grew until she was the outstanding personality in the Israel of her time. This was her reward for her unstinting bestowal of herself to the needs of iher neighbors. Miss Cushma.n of Konia. won similar fame during the war. Mark well, this was all woman’s natural and proper work. The highest office of woman is to be the inspirer and the conserve!* of ideals and spiritual values. It is usually because of a woman that la man becomes more than a man. If there were not good women, high-minded, noble women everyihe morass of degeneracy. where, society would sink into A Woman As A Patriot Deborah's character shines I clearly as that of a patriot. She loved her land and her people, and profoundly sought the best for them. In every war, women match the men in loyalty. A few i days ago I looked on the great Victory Statue in Ankara, with a .mounted figure of Kamal Ataturk iat the top. two soldiers in front, and behind them a peasant woman carrying a great shell. 'Twas ever I thus. The World War revealed the resourcefulness and indispensableness of woman's part. First Deborah fired the hearts of the people with the ideals of true patriotism. Then, when Siser♦The Sunday School Lesson for July 17 is "Messages From Israel’s Early Leaders—Deborah: Emergency Leadership." —Judges 4:1-5: 31.

a's hosts threatened, she called the military leader, General Barak. to action. He refused to fight unless Deborah went along with the army. It was Deborah who devised the plan of battle and perceived the propitious moment for {action. ; Within the present month I I stood on the heights of Megiddo. ! while the archaeologists and their I workmen toiled below me, and I saw stretched out before me, like a great battle map, the Plain of Esdraelon. All the sites of our Lesson were in clear view. In front rose symmetrical Mt. Tabor. South stood Bethel. Deborah's home. At our feet ran Kishon, in full flood, although dry in midsummer. Right around us. at the lower end of Mt. Carmol, stretched Sisera’p rallying ground. Many famous battles have been fought on the Plain of don is to be staged, hut the outEsdraelon; and there Armagedstanding fight of all was this one wherein “the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.” Sweeping ({own from Mt. Tabor, Deborah and Barah gained a complete victory; because they fought on the side of God. The Oldest War Song What is believed to be the oldest poem in the language is the Song of Deborah, which she raised after the battle. We now know that, from time immemorial down Ito the present day, the peoples of the East improvise songs to express their highest and deepest emotions. This spontaneous expression of Deborahs spirit of gratitude and rejoicing moves on a high level: it is real poetry. And it has its message for to{day. Read in the Revised Version, in metrical form, its opening lines are a sublime challenge to us. Would that in every pulpit in the land they might be used as a text for a sermon upon the pres|ent crisis. ’’For that the leaders took the lead in Israel, For that the people offered themselves willingly. Bless ye Jehovah.” Therein is a program and a chaii lenge. Our day must have leadership, valiant, wise and self forgetting leadership. And it must have {loyalty on the part of the people; they must “offer themselves willlingly.” Whatever the sacrifices and ' the risks, called for in these I changeful times, the great comjmonalty of us must be willing to undergo. God is leading mankind by strange and devious ways forth I into a new manner of life. Ours iis only to ascertain His will, accept our real leaders, and go forward.

Indiana’s memorial to Abraham Lincoln and his mother, located along Road 162 among the rolling hills of Spencer county, attracts a growing number of visitors each year as a shrine of national interest. it was here that Lincoln spent fourtee years of his boyhood and the area is rich in anecdote and tradition. Within the memorial area, which was a part of the farm Thomas Lincoln acquired when he moved his family from Kentucky, arc the graves of Nancy Hanks Lincoln, mother of the Great Emancipator, and the site of the cabin in which they lived. The grave, located-on a wooded knoll and surrounded hy a sinrplc railing, has a peaceful setting not unlike that of a century ago.

Logan was in Washington but could not be reached during the night. Mr. Roosevelt’s route today took him through Arkansas and observers centered speculation us to what he would do in the case of Senator Hattie Caraway, Democrat, who is up for renomination and faces a primary contest. She has not always supported the new deal. White House attaches announced that Sen. Caraway would board the train some time today. Others who will board the train were Gov. Lloyd C. Stark of Missouri; Sen. Josh Lee, Oklahoma; Sen. Thomas; Elliott Rooseelt; Gov. E. W. Marland of Oklahoma; Sen. John E. Miller, Arkansas, and Congressmen Lyle 11. Boren, Wilburn Cartwright and Will Rogers, of Oklahoma. Mr. Roosevelt indicated that he would make platform appearances at Boonesville, Ark.. McAlester, Okla., and Shawnee, Okla. Gov. Carl Bailey, a recent White 1 House visitor, was scheduled to join the Roosevelt train for the ride through Arkansas. Mr. Roosevelt studied reactions to his Kentucky and Ohio speeches and also reports submitted to him on the Indiana political situation by Sen. Sherman Minton. D., Ind., who boarded the train last night in Louisville for the two hour ride to Bowling Green. While Minton claimed his visit , was of no particular significance it was understood he had indicated i to the president that Senator Fredi erick Van Nuys, his colleague, I would be renominated liy the party organization at its state convention Tuesday. Van Nuys opposed the ‘ president bitterly on the supreme ‘ court issue.

The program this year i is being held on Sunday, July 10, and in addition to the formal addresses will include the placing of wreaths on the grave of several or ganizations. Across the highway from the memorial area, the Department of Con- ’ servation has established Lincoln State Park with an area of more than eventeen hundred acres to served the recreational needs of the community ad the visitors. In the park is a beautiful lake, stocked with game fish; several miles of drives and hiking trails; attractive picnic and camping areas with their shelter houses, outdoor fireplaces and other facilities; and a series of hatchery ponds for the production of game fish. Both the park and memorial are easily accessible from all partts of the state over improved state higb- ■ i ways.
