Deborah had an obscure husband. Pity it is' when a man has to be introduced as the husband of a famous wife. V. 5. “And she. dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel iji Mount Ephraim; and the children of Israel ■came up to her for judgment.” The people recognized her power ;ot authority. She recognized a great need of help and had an appointed place for conference; An effective' leader needs an appointed time and place to meet God and to meet the people. , | •'- y. 6. “And she seht and called Barak, the son of Abinoam, out of KeUesh-naphtali, and said unto him, \saying, Go and drew'toward Mount Tabor, and take with thee Ten thousand men of the children | of Naphtali and the children I Zebulum?” Note the question, „as if God had spoken-to Barak; here was faith in God. The countries I named were the nearest to the enemy country, and therefore recruits would the more easily copied from there.

However, let it be noted that Siseri and his host were well equipped and that Batak and his army were pborly equipped. God on the side of Barak made the difference.

This policy is affirmed by the United Nations and in our country’s pledge to aid all free nations threatened by He says. “We proposed, and with the cooperation of other free nations, put into effect a great Concerted program for the economic recovery and spiritual re-invigoration of Europe.

of Victory ie stated in the followvmrse. V N. “And Barak said unto hei(, It thow wilt jm with me, then I will go; but It thou wilt not go With tnen. then 1 will not go." While Barak is named in Hebrews as a man of faith, evidently his faith was pretty weak. But he used what faith he had; he was sure of encouragement and inspiration in the presence of-Deborah. Well might he have so reasoned for God draws near through godly men aud women. V.l. “Then sang Deborah and Barak, the aon of Abinoam, on that day.” Praises to God are best expressed in hymns of praise. Note that both sang together; they had a warm-hearted experience that wanted to be told. ~ ' V. 2. "Praise ye the Lord for the avenging of Israel, when the peo- j pie willingly offered themselves.” I The enlistment of the people to 1 meet an emergency was more than patriotism. It was an expression of God-inispired devotion to the glory of Jehovah's name. V. 3. “Hear, th ye king, give ear, O ye pripces; I, even I, will sing unto the Lord. I will sign praise to the Lord God of Israel." The kings and princes referred to were those of the Gentiles for Israel had no kings now. Here was a warning to any enemy nation. Here is a statement of the- worthiness of God. All glory in any victory belongs to him. V V. 4. “Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou rtiarchest out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled and the heavens dropped, the cloud also dropped water.” Here is a hint on the ways and means of victory over Sisera and his army—a great rain flooded the enemy in the Kishon valley so their iron chariots stuck in the mud and with the confusion that followed, the mere appearance of Barak's army meant defeat. Man interposes, God disposes. In the following three verses are recounted the scope of Israel's oppression; no man's life was safe. But now all was safe and Deborah was looked upon as mother of Israel. To be saved is to be safe. —Based on copyrighted outlines produced by tfie Division of Christian Education, National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., and used by permission. The cowardly thing one can. do is to write a scathing letter to some one and not sign it. It is just a little less ’ scandalous to say something about another that reflects on his character; that is gossip. George Washington said, “1 never say any thing of a man that I would have the smallest scruple in saying to him.” He was maligned as few of his day, but never a word in return. It is well to make it a rule to say nothing about any one if something could not be tijld. The way to kill an enemy is to find something nice to say about \him and say it. world for Christ To be an effective worker, one must practice diligently the art of making friends and be filled with the Holy Spirit. By following the mey»od outlined, the average person can be a sou dinner. It is not that we win or Iqse but. how\we play the game that counts. —Rice. \ \ It is a sad fact that we do not always act to our best interest.

It is written that we should worship God tn spirit and* in truth. Fundamentally, It to one's spirit and atttude toward our work, toward others, and toward God that counts. Work is a drudgery when one has the wrong spirit and attitude toward It. Friendship and fellowship is destroyed when a dislike is tolerated. God is ignored

' ■ Cfuricuß bays: & Clericus says: “It is not military might that necessarily wins a battle. It is rather the indomitable spirit of men that carries the day. The person with imagination, with ideas, with aspiratons, is the real leader of men. Ideas and ideals are more powerful than guns. However, many times physical powers and military might are needed to put ideas and ideals into action.” ~~ii' — Nearly 10,000 scriptures in 25 different languages were distributed by the American Bible Society in Israel, from the Bible House in Jerusalem during 1951. £. - - At least 5.000,00 G Koreans have been made homeless by the war, including some 43,000 refugees from north of the 38th parallel and about 100,000 orphaned children.
